The great thing, for most people, about a food being gross is that you don’t have to eat it. Is someone forcing you to eat olives? I mean, maybe you’ve just not tried fresh olives?

Sounds like victim blaming to me. Have a great day.

There was significant mis-information, which caused that uneducated choice. People didn’t all randomly come up with it by themselves. Blame the con-artist, not the victim of the confidence trickery.

I suspect you are correct. And I’m not going to participate in The Experiment. And dang, they are rather cute when smol.

I have it sometimes in Posole con menudo - making me hungry just thinking of it.

ELI5, please?

I’ve been using DDG, and Ecosia. So I looked to see what was up with DDG. From what I’m reading, I’ll keep using DDG.

May 25, 2022 An article in TechRadar, and another on The Register mention an inability to block Microsoft trackers on DDG.

August 5, 2022 A TEchCRunch article describes DDG’s efforts to block advertising requests and other tracking protections

May 12, 2023 Reuters article “No deal between DuckDuckGo and Microsoft to track users online”
https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL1N3792HE/
“Independent experts say that DuckDuckGo blocks known tracking scripts from loading to prevent vulnerable personal identifiers from being exposed, including Microsoft-owned scripts. A separate partnership with Microsoft for advertising on DuckDuckGo’s search results page is limited to ad placements, not tracking users or building profiles, a DuckDuckGo spokesperson said.”

Further, "Users sharing the headline, “Google Lite: DuckDuckGo Signs Secret Deal with Bill Gates to Track Users Online” in April 2023 can be seen (here) and (here).

The headline belonged to a story that first appeared on NewsPunch on May 25, 2022 (here), which now redirects to The People’s Voice (the two are affiliated) (here) (here).

The original article was published before DuckDuckGo eliminated, in August 2022, an exception that did permit some Microsoft-owned tracking scripts on websites to send data to Microsoft."

I’m trying to follow your logic here. So Santa reimburses restaurants that have this policy? What an amazing, jolly old elf!

I’ll be down to have lunch with you erry-day. :-D

Condolences on your losses. I’ve never missed my sanity, much.

It’s about 11 out of 12.

Same with Brooklyn Recycles by Brooklyn Funk Essentials. All instrumental, except for “I support recycling”. :-D

Brilliant work! What did you use for the padding? And is it for SCA type combat? Historical re-enactment?

Thank you for what you do!
