If you have a VPN, it’s trivial to point it at your pihole to get the benefits of both on the go, I agree it’s not for everyone but you really dislike ads and tracking, there’s little better out there to protect you and the barrier to entry is pretty low, though not zero.

You’re nearly there already! 🤢

Shiiiiiiiiiiit

My old dog was super racist. It was hideous to walk in town and she was happy to be there and chill with everyone until we meet one black person and she’d start growling and barking, baring teeth, hackles up, the works. Absolutely mortifying.

I cant remember what the last serious issue I had with a printer was.

I do, it was immediately before I switched to a Brother.

A dishwasher is, IMHO, not unnecessary. If they’re used efficiently ie only run when they’re full, they use considerably less water than washing by hand does, does a better job than I do and I push a button and don’t have to participate any more until it’s done. Plus, depending on the energy makeup of your country/home setup, use a lot less energy to heat the water than your domestic hot water does too.

Isn’t this the exact reason Americans have so many guns, to oppose tyranny at the hands of the state? Funny how the most vehemently anti-gun control people are the same ones clapping and cheering as government thugs bundle people into detention centers without warrants.

Kongo - Afonso I Mvemba a Nzinga - first Catholic monarch of Kongo

Songhai - Askia the Great - zenith of Songhai’s power

Adal - Abū Bakr ibn Muhammad - founded city of Harar

For context in 1525:

King of England: Henry VIII (with all the wives)

King of France: Francis I (with all the fighting the Holy Roman Empire and Pope)

King of Spain: Charles V (with all the being Holy Roman Emperor and inbreeding)

Emperor of China: Jiajing (with all the torturing and murdering dissenters)

Edit: I chose these 4 because between them they were monarchs of the 4 most powerful countries in the world at the time, especially Charles of Spain and Jiajing of China but France and England were soon poised to eclipse the others.

I’m just glad no-one said hockey in here, if you find hockey boring there’s no saving you.

This is the sort of crime that putting people in public stocks should be brought back for.

Imagine these two pieces of shit locked in a pillory, at the site of the felled tree, while thousands of people queue up to tell them what seawards they are.
