I think every word ever started out as something that was nonsense to everyone, except the first two people who used that word.

How much would you charge for letting him do the same thing to your daughter?

I dunno man, my TikTok algorithm is about the wokest, most informative news feed amongst them all.
Sometimes they try something new, and I have to train the algorithm a little again, but nothing too annoying.

Mad Max. Not the best game ever, but much better than I expected.

In all things I yearn for the past. Modern fashions seem to keep on growing more and more debased. I find that even among the splendid pieces of furniture built by our master cabinetmakers, those in the old forms are the most pleasing. And as for writing letters, surviving scraps from the past reveal how superb the phrasing used to be. The ordinary spoken language has also steadily coarsened. People used to say "raise the carriage shafts" "raise it" or "trim it."When they should say, "Let the men of the palace staff stand forth!" they say, "Torches! Let's have some light!" Instead of calling the place where the lectures on the Sutra of the Golden Light are delivered before the emperor "the Hall of the Imperial Lecture," they shorten it to "the Lecture Hal", a deplorable corruption, an old gentleman complained.

Holy shit, I did the same thing. I hadn't heard from Klein in a couple of years and when I read something about Wolf I was really surprised, thinking it was that No Logo writer.

Maybe it's because my middle mouse button is wonky, sometimes it scrolls when I try to click. I just don't like it.
But the main reason I ask is that I don't get what makes some pages behave different; and what if I'd like to be able to make it act just the way I want? It's just one of those things.

My question is as follows: When I click a link on the main page, instead of opening a new tab in Firefox, it always takes me to the linked page in the same tab. I've tried changing settings in about:config, tried two different Firefox extensions to modify link behavior, but that resulted in a few unwanted events. I know I can override this by clicking the scroll wheel or using ctrl while clicking, but that gets annoying after a while. Is there a way to change this?

I've read that somewhere, too.

In the Netherlands some people with handicaps like muscular dystrophy can apply for reimbursement for "sex care".
In those cases I think it might be a good thing.

I just joined every sub that vaguely reminded me of their reddit equivalents. Apparently I joined that one and this one.
