Nicotine isn't the only addictive substance in cigarettes. As someone who has quit both cigs and vaping, it was by far easiest to quit vaping. It absolutely sucked - but nothing compared to going off tobacco. I still get massive cravings if I smell someone smoking nearby.

This method is far older than that, and it keeps popping up every so often as a "new" attack. First time I read about this method was in the early 2000's, and I'm pretty sure it been done before that as well.

How did that behavior even evolve, like what's the benefit to the species? I'm really curious.

Well, curious enough to ask, not curious enough to actually research...

How long until Google says "fuck it" and outright starts banning adblock users? Considering how deep a lot of people are into the Google ecosystem, this is potentially devastating. Imagine losing access to you email, photos, etc., with no way to appeal. Good luck if you want to actually speak to anyone human at Google.

I was taught that dividing the numbers naturally into thirds:

I  II III IIII (all I) 
V  VI VII VIII (all start with V) 
IX X  XI  XII  (all contain X) 

Visually looks more "balanced" than having an extra V

Yeah, and a net loss of a bit over $1B. Revenue ≠ money in the bank.

I plead autocorrect, and that English is my second language 🤣

As much as I'd love to jump on the "stupid Americans" bandwagon, this seems to be a big problem not only in America. After the reddit exodus and before I had a good setup for lemmy, I used Facebook for a short period. Most of my stuff there is from US, UK and Norway, and the number of people in the comments who can barely put together a coherent sentance is astonishing. Far below 6th grade level by any standard.

You can also use emojis in computer and user names in active directory. Trust me, the network guys love it!

It's cool how most here seem to be older, I was almost expecting people to name drop Skyrim and make me feel like a dinosaur lol.

I used to love the text-based adventures, like "Adventure" and I believe one was called "Humbug". Even learned C programming at a young age in an attempt to make my own.

Enjoyed the Hugo trilogy too. Wasn't a big fan of side-scroller games but I fondly remember Secret Agent, Duke Nukem I+II and Commander Keen.

My real love was RPGs, specifically Ultima VII.

Alright so this seems a good a place as any to ask dumb questions... This almost feels like the 90's and using the internet for the first time 🤣

So, I'm viewing this post on lemmy.world, but the content itself is from beehaw.org, simple enough. What happens if beehaw.org is unavailable, let's say permanently shut down, right now? Is the past content still available on other instances or does it just poof? Could I still view this post one day, week, month, year after a shut down? Could I still comment? The image itself I see is hosted directly on the beehaw instance so that obviously depends on a stable instance.
