“One of the biggest functions of blocking is giving women the ability to stop weird men from constantly making them uncomfortable and scared,” one user wrote. “So of course Elon had to change that.”
Given how he constantly tries to insert himself and his opinions into everything he sees, it’s clear he has no idea about how consent works, nor why people don’t want him in their lives.
The channel announcements and news segments and other stuff that made MTV actually MTV was a lot harder, lol.
Did you look at the internet archive?
GenX tv addict here. I grew up in a time when, if you wanted to watch a show, you need to make an effort to be in front of the tv when it aired. If you missed seeing it, you had to hope that if was repeated over the summer (only about 2/3’s the episodes of a continuing series would be repeated, and if a show was cancelled, that was it). If you missed it on summer repeats, you’d have to hold the show went into syndication, was carried locally at a time you were able to watch it, and then stalk the series because syndication packages were notoriously shown out of order (which is why almost all the episodes ended up with the characters being in the same base situation as they started out in).
It was the same thing if there was an episode or series you loved and wanted to watch again.
VCRs were an absolute game changer. You didn’t have to revolve your life around a tv schedule- you could go out, to go events, go shopping, have a late dinner. You could pause tv to go to the bathroom, you could watch and re-watch episodes that you enjoyed, or verify something you thought had happened earlier instead of relying on collective memory. If you missed taping something, you might still have to wait for re-runs - but there was also the chance that someone else had taped it and could loan you the tape.
Having learned the lessons of broadcast tv, I taped everything I watched, and I kept the tapes of the stuff I liked, or that had actors I liked. I could sit down today and watch all the episodes of David Soul in Casablanca or Billy Campbell in Moon Over Miami, or short-lived shows like Space Rangers or South of Sunset.
I still record and save things locally. The myth of having immediate access to everything ever produced was always just a myth.
I’d say the bottom four sides are SSW, SSE, ESE, and SSE again. And the North four sides are the big curving bit on the right and then the three flat bits separated by the rivers.
Hunh, you’re right. Plus (of course!) a whole bunch of sea access.
How were the borders of the area they wanted decided on?
If BBC Science Magazine was texting me at 1.29am to ask “Why do the British talk about the weather so much?”, BBC Science Magazine and I would be having words - especially if they texted me six hours later to ask about plants!
Las Vegas police are refusing to comply with the NFL’s new plan to use facial recognition technology for stadium employees during games. Even though police often use facial recognition to identify suspects, they say giving their biometric data to an unaccountable company crosses a line.
So, all those videos where the cops are screaming “Stop resisting!” to some person who is laid out on the ground, not moving and not resisting, piled onto with eight cops holding them down - I’m sure the AI chatbot notices and notes down all that nuance, right?

Oops, guess not … :(
Looks like OP was going to eat it with a fork (?floppy crust?) and then decided to take a picture first.
A time traveler’s survival guide. The vertical green bars are the only times in Earth’s history with enough oxygen to breathe (hypoxia) and low enough to avoid oxygen toxicity (hyperoxia):
Last month Musk said that he has had “enough of dodging gangs of violent drug addicts just to get in and out of the building.”
Are the roving gangs of violent drug addicts in the room with us now? Or do they go to a different school?
Imagine hating your own daughter that much. We need more people like Tennant, less people like Musk and Rowling.
The micro-loans in Africa use very low interest rates as a way of encouraging responsibility for the loan, as well as a means of generating small amounts of capital which is used to fund future loans. In the programs I’m familiar with, all the money stays in the community instead of being siphoned out of it.
I’m seconding Simon Tatham’s puzzle collection, Nonograms Katana, and Stardew Valley, all of which are in regular rotation and fill different niches in my soul.

I’m assuming both of you can connect to peers on other torrents, just not each other. Again, do you guys have DHT/PEX enabled? Did you accidentally create a private torrent?
Sounds like connectivity issues. Can you guys manually add the other’s IP address? Do you have DHT/PEX enabled?
One of the things I loved in NuWho were the red and blue shifts in the opening credits.
