I am, I will remove the codeblock markdown.

Edit: removed, let me know if you can see it now.

No, when millions of homes are owned but left empty because they’re unafforable for people to live in, anyone involved in keeping housing off the market for only themselves is a class traitor.

When millions are in the streets who have jobs but housing is unaffordable it’s a fucking indictment of our entire system and all the people who own more than one piece of property.

If he is renting it, he has a place to live.

What, you’re fine with paying this pricks mortgage for him?

In my city there’s a guy who owns some of housing, but he tries to bring down property values with them, so people can afford to live in the neighborhood. He rents them well under market value and paints them entirely black, out of character for their neighborhoods. That’s class solidarity.

I would appreciate propaganda a lot more if they more often used tracks from Huey Lewis & the News’ third album, Sports.

Agreed, which is why I labelled it a “problem.” I go gambling very rarely, but sometimes I do when I have a spare $80 that I don’t mind pissing away. But once that $80 is gone, I’m done, and I stop. I also stop when I’ve made at least 200% profit (I’ve very rarely made it that high). It’s a good point to stop if you want to do well the few times you do win.

Gambling isn’t the problem as much as the addiction to it and an industry which purposefully makes it more addictive.

It is very important that you all know that Sarah Silverman made out with Tim Russ during the time she was on Voyager. (www.cinemablend.com)

I kissed him [Robert Duncan McNeill] at the end of the episode, and he was standing on an apple box because God forbid you’re the same height as the girl. And then, I made out with him [Tim Russ] in real life....

I have high quality DVD rips of the entire series plus rips of shorts from Short Attention Span Theater that preceded Dr. Katz, as well as the aforementioned live episode, with one of my favorite Maria Bamford performances (“I wish you were different!” “I am different!”)

H. Jon Benjamin will always live in my mind as Ben Katz.

Also Dr. Katz was ahead of its time in “kindness television.” We have stuff like Ted Lasso or Joe Pera now that is less snarky and mean, but in the 90’s only Dr. Katz was so full of love he let his adult son live with him indefinitely.

Did the Privacy Guides drama ever get resolved re: PrivacyTools. I recall one was split off from the other over draaaamaaa.

It’s just a bit more complicated than that:

When people search, we believe they’re really looking for answers, as opposed to just links. For many categories of searches (restaurants, lyrics, weather, etc.), there is usually a specialized search engine (e.g., Tripadvisor), content site (e.g., Musixmatch), or dedicated source (e.g., Dark Sky) that does a better job of actually answering searches than a general search engine can with just links. Our long-term goal is to get you Instant Answers from these best sources.

Most of our search result pages feature one or more Instant Answers. To deliver Instant Answers on specific topics, DuckDuckGo leverages many sources, including specialized sources like Sportradar and crowd-sourced sites like Wikipedia. We also maintain our own crawler (DuckDuckBot) and many indexes to support our results. Of course, we have more traditional links and images in our search results too, which we largely source from Bing. Our focus is synthesizing all these sources to create a superior search experience.

Partners and Privacy: As per our strict privacy policy, we never share any personal information with any of our partners that could lead to the creation of search histories. When we send a request to a partner for information used in search results, the transfer of information is proxied through our servers so it stays anonymous. That means our partners see those requests as though they came from us instead of our users, and no unique identifiers are passed in that process (e.g., your IP address). That way, we can work with partners to produce relevant search result pages, while keeping you anonymous to them (and us!).

So they use some in-house tools and they source other results “largely” from Bing.

In other words:

Nah, another reference to the book Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. In the book, owning a real, live animal is considered a mark of high status. However, animals are hard to care for and die easily, so many people “fake” that status by having an artificial animal. In the book, Deckard and his wife are quite devastated over the loss of his goat.

That’s my fault in the original comment, I remembered it as a sheep, not a goat, because of the title of the book.

Basically the plot of one of my favorite films of all time, The Stupids, except they think someone is stealing their garbage, and they intend to find out who.

“More than half of the websites in the study accepted passwords with six characters or less, with 75% failing to require the recommended eight-character minimum. Around 12% of had no length requirements, and 30% did not support spaces or special characters.”

Dead Man will always be my favorite (still love seeing Gary Farmer in stuff), but I have a soft spot for Jarmusch’s more experimental stuff, which has been more of his recent stuff.

I’m not even sure The Dead Don’t Die is experimental as much as it is satirical. It was a fun little romp, though.
