i used wordpress for over a decade but left last year when the AI hype started ramping up and there were reports that even selecting the option to turn off post scraping doesn’t work because the bots blocked by the site’s robots.txt doesn’t update.

basically: wordpress doesn’t let you control AI scraping so is it still the best platform those of us worried about that are gonna be able to find?

there is such s thing as solutions journalism, but it is rather rare

yeah, they do. unfortunately a lot of people are stuck in situations not easily got out of… that’s why they escape to their car…

they keep switching lanes

from people I’ve talked to who do that (and me) it’s usually to get away from other people before going inside somewhere. like the husband who chills in his car to avoid the wife, or the son who doesn’t wanna go in to deal with the dad yet.

the car is a portable bubble, an escape, your own little contained environment in which you can exercise some form of control. a mini home away from home for some.

i got some but i thought it was from being out in the sun more / aging

hope this includes transwomen and girls

earliest memory is of the Nintendo 64, but it’s a blur to me whether i played Crash Bandicoot, Goldeneye, Banjo Kazooie, or Mario Kart 64 first. Probably Mario Kart because we had the steering wheel attachment and that’s irresistible to kids.

yeah I wouldn’t use it for doing the whole thing, but have been using it here and there to help me figure out why I’m getting errors and how to solve them. As a newbie programmer it helps guide me back to the right path.

However… even that doesn’t work all the time because it’s still not smart enough to isolate issues coming from imports, plus some other minor hiccups.

I don’t like sandwiches or burgers

there’s no good or bad people, it’s much more nuanced than that. no one fits into just one box at all times and places.

just do your best, it’s all we can do.

finally getting around to watching the last seasons of Skins (UK)

why are the customers complaining about discounted prices? wouldn’t lower prices on EVs and making them more affordable to more people be a good thing?

i prefer to buy in-store when i can because i like to be able to feel the textures of the product and to see the size of the thing in real life, which is hard to do from just an image. yeah sonetimes they put a ruler next to the photo but it’s not the same as being able to turn the object around in your hands, smell it, stretch it, test it, etc.

you say treats i say quest rewards

damn im sorry that you’re only getting dads
