We are just as prone to right-wing propaganda here in Canada as Americans are too. I'm sure it's much worse here in Alberta than elsewhere, but it is painfully obvious to me just how aggressive the social media propaganda machine is influencing the minds of everyone here. Yet, if I mention it, I am the crazy one who is being brainwashed... Of course.

I've been thinking this for a while now. Nothing gets people more excited than a celebrity, and Trump is proof of that. Dems definitely need to fight back with a classically "alpha" seeming white male celebrity to fight back.

I still haven't played so many games because of opening cinematics and overly long and boring tutorials for this reason. It sucks because I can get super into a game if I just get over that. Like Baldur's Gate 3 was a chore to get into, but I knew I would absolutely love it and now I think it's probably the best game ever.

This would be a dream for me too

Mirin! And other stuff you'd find at Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, etc stores. Like the different types of sauces and ingredients you can get from them can often mix very well with traditional American foods.

Sorry for the extremely late reply. But anyways, I use Auto Tab Discard - Frees up ram with unused tabs

Sideberry - a vertical option to organize and search tabs with a overwhelming plethora of options

Tab Session Manager - To make sure I don't lose my tabs if my browser crashes

Tab Stash - to hide away bundles of tabs so I can sort through them later

Window Titler - To name my different windows I have open in order to keep things organized on my windows toolbar. I use the old school windows toolbar layout which has text beside the icon. I like it this way instead of going through little popup windows to sort through my shit.

This is about all I can remember for my first online experience. Just remember opening AOL and not exactly knowing what else to do except click around random links, looking at whatever websites I came across, all with that classic 90s basic HTML look.

Every time I have tried a different browser than Firefox I could never get it set up quite right. I never strayed from Firefox only because of the openness of the add-ons and customization, even when Firefox was miles behind when it came to browsing speed in the early 2010s as Chrome was popping off.

Anyone who tells me Chrome is better hasn't seen my multitude of tab add-ons which are the only thing that hold my online life together.

Plus, I recall google limiting adblockers and such on Chrome at a certain point. Firefox would never

Yep. I'm 100% sold on it. Thank you very much kind human. It's crazy how used to Google I had become. Not thinking about features which would be helpful like simply raising/lowering a sites visibility. It even has done well for me when it comes to local searches! Truly a game changer.

Um.. I seem to be forgetting just how cable TV was like paid YouTube. Could you refresh my memory?

You may have changed my life with kagi. It is amazing so far at giving the results I want, and categorizing stuff like discussions so you don't have to add "Reddit" at the end of every search to get decent results.

The golden days of IRC were the best. Every day I use the current internet, I miss the way of the old internet. Back when everything was just run by a bunch of nerds doing whatever they wanted, as opposed to everyone being shut out by the big names now, looking to control everything and maximise profit.
