They're actually more cotillions.

I'm trying to figure out why someone would care. The mall is mostly closed. Yeah, the dealership must have paid the lot owner, so I don't see the problem.

It'd be great if the ugly things didn't exist, but since they do, they have to go somewhere.

If your taste buds are working, it'd be pretty difficult to eat enough rancid oil to kill yourself.

That's the entire point of the post, my guy. Some apps use the Downloads folder. Some use their own. Some use a folder you set a year ago when you first got the app but don't remember anymore.

The interface abstracts away from the actual file system so finding a file becomes guesswork. Doubly so if you then want to use the downloaded file in a different app that also doesn't give access to the file system.

Just ftr: Everyone uses drugs about equally. They just arrest Black people disproportionately for it.

I do too. I haven't used it in about 10 years, and this is at least the fourth computer it has been in. Maybe I don't need it anymore, but if I throw it away, then I'll surely have to read a DVD.

the search model is helpful to is all

You answered your own question. The search engine indexes your page to send traffic to you. The AI bot indexes your page to plagiarize your content.

Anecdotally, AI also routinely ignores sites' robots.txt and spoof their agents to try to hide what they're doing. A lot of site owners are complaining about the costs of delivering content to web scrapers. Where search indexes might hit a site every day, some AI bots are running every hour and just wasting their bandwidth.

I'll allow it. You expect someone to type normally with Grace Jones on the screen?

I'm on several MAGA lists because the dumber sect of Democrats can't understand that people exist to the left of them.

Jokes aside, there are people I respect who call themselves anarchists, communists, socialists, and other labels. Most of the real vitriol I see is from Democrats at all of us and from Leftists right back.

"Leftist infighting" is a meme for a reason, but I think too often honest disagreements about principles get written off as such.

I'm a noob leftist. Maybe a reformed (reforming?) liberal. I am anticapitalist.

I don't think a 19th century European necessarily devised the perfect economic system. Maybe we don't have to be obliged to label ourselves by which 19th century European we agree with the most. There are a lot of people smarter than me who know more than me who disagree with each other, I don't know if we can move society in my lifetime enough that the difference between anarchism and communism will make a huge public policy difference. I'm more concerned with stopping fascism and working for universal healthcare.
