@Absinthe Ah ,that clarifies it then, thank you.

They are quite popular due to their use in suggesting genitalia; some places were restricting its usage, FB if I am not mistaken.

While political ads, unfiltered, they are fine with. 😛

The food looks delicious indeed, there's many nice pics on the Bing link above.

@VD15 LOL, desperate times call for desperate measures.

Noticed that in Europe, frozen pizza actually tastes good. Bought a Four Cheese one in Portugal, it was made in Italy, and yummy even if microwaved. 🍕 🍷

Have you seen the image of Rocky Balboa's body (he of Rocky movies fame) with a POTUS face photoshopped into it?

I am all for adding images in posts, but refuse to inflict that on you here.

Seen yesterday, and now a thread discussing it said and linked to potus twitter account - he's posted it. thousands of likes and retweets.

Unbelievable Times we live in.

Posting original Rocky image instead.

@VD15 Oooh.

Refresh fixed it piza indeed, got me vote 2.

@VD15 poll close, what do?

hung vote.

@susi123 I think it wants to get out from that fenced area.

@susi123 Good night, and thank you for the kitten picture. Looks so sad, poor kitty.

@susi123 😊 Thank you, have a good night, Susi.

@chrism After I posted here, and scrolled down the page, the count of blocked things was over 50. Yikes. 😟

But I wanted to find a solution - since we both run uBlock and you were not seeing the ugly forced videos.

Found a good article, tried and it fixed it.

Content Blocking in Firefox set to Strict WILL stop it. And uBlock now only sees 11 objects to block, even as I go all the way down the page.

Until now I didn't know about that control on the left side of Location bar. Nice.

Thanks to the tips on this FF page: https://blog.mozilla.org/firefox/block-autoplay/

@chrism Thank you for posting the article here Chris, there's no need to apologize.

I do have uBlock Origin as well, but there's an annoying playing video that pops up on the right or left columns as you scroll down.

That's on top of the 33 elements uBlock stopped. Argh, awful web design, surprising quality on the article though.

@Surasanji First time I hear of a foot fetish cat! 😸

@shibaprasad Thanks for posting it and reminding us. He was a great artist, I grew up with the Beatles new albuns and everyone of them was so different from the last.

George has some beautiful work. And certainly, all things mus pass.

Rest in Peace, George. 🌈

@sptnkmmnt

You are welcome!

Another user here posted a new topic with an interesting lamp, which produces very intense light, and might help with the Winter blues that affect so many in the Northern latitudes.

It's here : https://qoto.org/web/statuses/103217908559394191

@drq

@Absinthe I have a feeling the emoji meant something more suggestive (like peach and aubergine), but there's some nice recipes on Bing : https://www.bing.com/search?q=Aubergine+and+taco

@pganssle It's true that there were militant actions in the 70s, but what I think is new today is the belligerency of some average person you might meet at a social event. People are adamant about their opinions, and not inclined to listen, consider or change theirs.

If conflict is the likely result of such encounters, it ends up more productive to avoid them, imo.
