Either way whatever bad stuff is in a little dip container is probably quite insignificant in the grand scheme of things. A couple timbits probably have more grams of sugar and I've put down a 20 pack in a single sitting before. :eek: I try not to do that often...

Thunderbird redesign doesn't show the top of the window border, which I don't miss but is odd. I have it in dark mode and it flashes the entire (empty) window white when loading which is annoying.

Too many contradicting web pages on whether to leave salt on prime rib roast for a long time in the fridge.

Facebook's News Feed algorithm is absolutely whacko. I was getting random Calvin and Hobbs comics in my news feed for months, even though I've never searched for them on Facebook or any other platform. Then today it finally happened - I got an anti child-trafficking ad blaming the Biden administration for allowing global child trafficking. I reported that ad as fast as I could. I was just shocked that Facebook was serving me Q Anon gateway ads. I never interact with or post any political content on Facebook ever, and here I am getting this garbage in my news feed.

I had to kill two hours in a multi million dollar home. Had an appointment at 3 for 30 minutes, and then another at 530. So I've just been sitting here reading and listening to music. Stuck. On a couch that probably costs 15 grand.

I just get like the 10 same posts repeating. Been that way for a good week. I go on for like 2 minutes and am like "why do I even keep coming here there's nothing new." it's not like my friends are not posting anything, since I see it if I go straight to their profile but it never shows up in my feed. Wonder if half my friends are shadow banned or something lol.

Had to answer a "Captcha" thing, and it asked me to tick pictures containing "fresh fruit". Several of the pictures featured tomatoes, so I had to guess whether they meant "fruit" in the culinary sense or the botanical sense. Turns out they _didn't_ regard tomatoes as fruit. I hate those stupid captcha things.

Just got to my destination at a bar in the flatiron, the amount of beautiful women I've seen on my thirty minute mass transit trip here is just ludicrous. Not a problem in and if itself,except that dating here is a clusterfuck, so a bit frustrating

I hate those, especially when the images fade in super slowly and they keep asking for more. I just want to move on to what I was trying to do ffs! Stop it with the fancy effects and just show me the damn image already!

Sounds exactly like what a bot would say!
