google in 2022 is dogshit bc if i want to search "check mouse dpi" it comes up with 10000000 AI-driven tech blogs of which the content is eighteen paragraphs of:
What is the DPI Mouse?
Many people would like to check their DPI of mouse. The DPI of a mouse is the dots-per-second— max 🐀 (@max_oats) May 4, 2022
It’s not completely Google’s fault, but much of it is. The web is no longer serving us, not even does it have much to do with us directly. We serve the algorithms and they rule all.
[Interrupts beautiful tropical vacation to share the following:]
A handful of men in adtech are planning to get rich off selling the data of any woman attempting to secure an abortion directly to law enforcement.
Here are faces of the men behind @SafeGraph.

Some of the biggest scumbags on the planet.
stage of the discourse in which the positions "men should not speak about this issue" and "wow these men are being AWFULLY quiet" are both in play

Heh. I have noticed that too.
In the fall of 2020 and into 2021, anyone who said this in my community was called a racist who wanted black and brown kids and their families to die.

Like being “racist” for wearing masks and socially distancing at the beginning of the pandemic, this is now also being wiped from the record.
What is the name of this color and would you paint your vehicle this shade of (whatever it is) ? pic.twitter.com/vnzrfr9wXG

The color is Ganymedean Gloop and no one should paint anything that shade ever, unless they hate the universe and themselves too. Even then, I’d advise against.
27 percent of the French electorate voted for Macron. He was elected president.
Pretty screwed up… https://t.co/qO77z8iCHy

That’s exactly the same percentage of the electorate that voted from Trump in 2016.
This is not unusual. Just over 34 percent of eligible voters cast a ballot for Biden, which was in fact unusual (very high turnout).
The fat acceptance movement is a great thing. Shame and guilt for being fat accomplishes nothing and is linked with worse health outcomes, because fat people who feel shame often *avoid* exercise and healthier food because they've been made to feel unworthy.

Ha. The Fat Acceptance movement is a clownshow of unfounded beliefs not supported by any science or reality that mostly harms the people it purports to help and really harms kids a whole hell of a lot. It was better when it was the body positivity movement, but when they transitioned from that it became about how weighing 400 pounds was completely healthy, that “intuitive eating” that caused you to weigh that aforementioned 400 pounds was just fine, and that anyone who is slim and fit is somehow harming you.
I reject all of that. Fat Acceptance is what happens when you accept you live in hell. No thank you.

Yeah, would rather it be porn. Now it’s all just scams. It demonstrates the transition that occurred between a regular economy and one that’s fully scam-based.

The lib “All government subsidies are bad” crowd really needs to rethink that facile credo.
Some dude just starts awkwardly stroking my neck from behind while I am having a beer.
