Look, you get born, you keep your head down, and then you die. If you’re lucky.

Kind of my point. We gained ecommerce, streaming services, platforms such as this one, online gaming, mapping services, and others - at the cost of the freedoms for which people are nostalgic. And now we have ads, personalization, tracking, and inevitable enshitification.
Back in the days of the wild frontier things were chaotic, anarchic, violent, and unconstrained.
Then came the churches, then came the schools
Then came the lawyers, then came the rules
Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
And the dirty old track was the Telegraph Road
And now we’re all fenced in, regulated, allowed to wander only in approved lanes… oh, wait, sorry, we’re talking about the internet, not real life!
I think this is the first example of blatant karma farming I’ve seen on lemmy. It was inevitable.

Brine chicken, especially chicken breasts for a few hours or overnight for much more succulent meat.
I mean, sure, it’s no looker, but if it makes mail carriers’ lives easier then that’s a win. Will probably be ‘iconic’ in a decade or two.
Blue Lights is really good. Very tense!
Ooh, Sledge Hammer was fun. My memory says something like David Rasche for the lead?
Gary Oldman’s Jackson Lamb is the most perfect portrayal of a character from a book I’ve ever seen. I’d read three or four of the books before the first series came on, and when I saw him on screen for the first time I was blown away. The look, the delivery of his lines, everything is spot on.
Pffft. 70s Scotland says ‘hold my beer’.
We had a Witches Hat. Far bigger than the one in this video and we went a lot quicker and with a lot more perturbation.
I was shaving my head. Happened to have the news on the TV in the background and thought ‘fuck, that’s awful’ after the first plane, then ‘fuck, that’s deliberate’ after the second. I guess the twin towers is our ‘you remember where you were moment’ for those of us too young to remember the moon landings.
Me. Sigh.
Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms…

Aussie by any chance?
Swallows, swifts, and martins are awesome.
My eight year old just watched the trailer and said it looked cool. So I guess we’ll go and see it when it comes out.
Hold my bag of many things, I’m going in!
There’s a world of spicy flavour out there! Try these:
Jamaican Curry Goat - you can substitute lamb or even go curry chicken instead. If you’re cooking Jamaican, try and get hold of Scotch Bonnet chillies, they bring a different flavour!
Ghanaian Peanut Stew - if you’re cooking West African food, be sure to try some Jollof Rice.
Goan Pork Vindaloo - this is the vinegar-based Goan original rather than the British Indian version.
Sichuan ‘Dan Dan’ noodles - try and get some proper Sichuan peppercorns if you can!
And plenty of Bgarlic!
No, I just walk funny.
I remember: “It’s better to do something than live with the fear of it”. Then I get on with it.
