I can’t even access the mullvad website or DNS anymore. I’m assuming they haven’t shut down and it’s my isp blocking it (got switched from talktalk to virgin media) and the opera vpn doesn’t work anymore either (I just use it when I need to get around geoblocks) but I don’t know if that’s on their end or mine.

For some reason I’m blocked by reddit on opera on both desktop and mobile, but I can view it on ddg. There’s definitely something weird about opera.

I have librewolf with ublock origin on desktop. I recently installed ddg desktop as well.

Plant stems.

No it’s wœuf. Singular is pronounced woof, but plural wœufs is pronounced wuh.

Une douzaine de, s’il vous plaît.

!GCSE French joke!<

I’m putting my faith in the DDG tracker blocker feature, but tbh I have no idea if it actually works or not.

I can’t believe I never made the link before.

This is me age 1:

I was raised as a Bin. I am finally able to reconnect with my destiny.
Thank you, Count Binface.

Hey, it works for trump.

He’s promised to give us Ceefax back. Instant capture of the hearts of millennials and older.

Abba-baijan and the other one.

I present to you Mohenjo Daro. The most autistic coded civilisation I’ve ever heard of.

Maybe this time he was planning to rise from the dead.

I’m sure he’s already got some slop image waiting to be posted on Troof Social of him rising again.

If there’s one thing the right is really good at, it’s pathological hypocrisy. They’d probably self combust if they couldn’t do it.

How many things actually need to be delivered on the same day though?

A few years ago, my radiator decided to break in the middle of a cold snap. I could deal with it, but I had an elderly budgie, but since I don’t have a car and I’m a weedy old lady, I had to order from Curry’s (in the past I would have gone straight to Amazon). Luckily it arrived the same day, no delivery charge. Even then, I would have just used a hot water bottle next to my budgie’s cage if the radiator hadn’t come that day.

I’m not sure why I told that story. But in any case, it was definitely a better outcome than ordering some no name brand that Amazon is filled with.

I hear the “same day delivery” to justify Amazon a lot, but I do wonder how many things actually need next day delivery and how did such people survive before that? Are people not keeping track of what’s running out? How many times would you need an emergency radiator replacement during a cold snap?

Of course I live in London and most things I need are walking distance or easily reachable by bus. So I have that on my side.

But yeah for me, the way they treat their staff, the way they protect bad faith sellers (see Louis rossman’s videos on how they respond to reports of unsafe items), racketeering (stealing marketplace supplier info and undercutting, see pirate trading’s tripods) means that as long as I have alternatives, even if they are also corpos, I will never willingly buy from scamazon again.

I bought a tamagotchi from ebay and it came in an amazon bag 😭😭

Nah, I’ve boycotted scamazon since December 2020. I’m buying more things from physical shops. Second hand things like books or dvds I still get from ebay.

Wait, did this actually happen? Did he not notice he forgot to switch accounts or is this an edit?

Fake edit: I can’t find anything definitive either way, but most likely an edit?

What was the thing with McCarthy and Betts?

The slump in May is just a distant memory…

I’m in my 40s but pass for 25. So my 20 year old colleagues would talk to me like a child and I’d tell them I’m old enough to be their mother, the little whippersnappers.

I have never vibed with Wendy Oldbag so much.
