Yeah, that’s fair. US mindset, I’m just still processing our shitshow.

Theoretically, sure. Pragmatically, we just elected a fascist insurrectionist, and it’s not going to happen in the near future.

You’re right. I updated my response.

I’m unsure what benefit you get from this though.

Not much, to be honest. Links seem to load a lot quicker with the urls simplified. Other than that, no real reason to do it.

Thank you so much. I didn’t even think about Greasemonkey. I went to make a script using your code and it said there was already one available. That script looks like this:

Edit: Updated script

(function() {
    'use strict';

    var links = document.links;
    for (var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) {
        var referer = links[i].href.indexOf('&u=');
        links[i].href = decodeURIComponent(links[i].href.substr(referer + 3));
    }

})();

and it worked fine. Then I replaced that code with yours, and it worked just as well. Thanks again.

In Future Shock,

Alvin Toffler argued that society is undergoing an enormous structural change, a revolution from an industrial society to a “super-industrial society”. This change, he states, overwhelms people. He argues that the accelerated rate of technological and social change leaves people disconnected and suffering from “shattering stress and disorientation”—future shocked. -from WP

Should work. Just try it out and see if you get what you want. I tried:

alias llaa='pwd && ll'

then ran llaa and it did what I expected, current directory and the output of ls -al which is aliased.

Who watches the watchers?

Humanity. I know it’s kind of self-defeating or something, but humanity just scares the shit out of me.

This comment section gives me hope for this platform.

If I found out someone bugged my bathroom, I think I’d apologize for what they heard.

I’ve always wanted to visit, but from the footage I’ve seen it would probably be pretty depressing. Not so depressing once the Chagos people are allowed back though.

He flew a helicopter onto Johnny Cash’s lawn to try to get Cash to listen to a song he wrote. It worked, but he wouldn’t suggest doing it.

Mutually assured destruction was supposed to be a deterrent to anyone using nukes. Not to enable an aggressor force to do what they want without repercussions out of fear that they would use nukes. If they use nukes, at a minimum they’ll no longer exist. Probably along with the rest of us.

“Influencers”, advertisers, and just about every Wall Street job.

I’ll never get over Handsome Jack killing Bloodwing. Fuck him.

Anyone who wasn’t around then can’t really know what they missed.

The majority just give enough to lessen their tax burden. Should have at least a 50% wealth tax on anyone on the Forbes 400. Fucking vampires.

Caddyshack. I can’t believe it hasn’t been mentioned.

I read on here (I think) a couple months ago that adding “before:2023” to your search terms improves results a lot. I’ve found it to be true. Unless I’m looking for something specifically from the last couple years.
