My guess is that at some point some poor web dev or web admin screwed up big time and with a heart rate nearing the colibri fluttered in panic above their laptop in attempts to restore the site, finding great relief that there was a snapshot in the archives and did not have enough presence to fix all the links to get it back online asap.
…and he didn’t think to download the files and host them properly instead? Surely this must be some kind of fallback or the user is actually browsing the internet archive, no?
Probably the production version of JS broke something on that page, getting the infrastructure team involved in “we now need to host multiple JS versions” was scary, especially if they fucked something up, so easier to modify the code on that page to point to the archive.org snapshot of the JS
They’re suggesting that they copied the HTML file, but that the archived one had modified references pointing to archive.org, which they did not notice and therefore didn’t change. So now the file fetches resources from the wrong place.
See, you may laugh but the landlord now knows that the water is still flowing, so the cause isn't an area-wide outage or a burst pipe, but instead there's a fault in the system that heats the water.
Nah most of the bible belt are baptists, evangelicals, and people who don’t even believe in Christianity but use it as a cover for their fascist bullshit. There is no universe where they would get along with Catholics. Having them be that close to the Catholics would probably result in another protestant vs catholic war.
US Catholics have adapted a lot of the beliefs from the protestant-oriented groups in the US. Try asking Paul Ryan or Rick Santorum if they accept the Vatican’s official stance on evolution and watch them squirm. Having the Vatican be right there would be . . . difficult.
Yeah where the fuck is the antisemitism? Fuckin dogshit takes that think one side is clean where the other isnt? Yeah, plenty of that. But antisemitism itself? I havent seen it
I am seeing some of it tbh. Antisemite shitbirds who think just because a lot of folks are (rightfully) mad at Israel, that they can sneak in their heinous philosophy. Go muddy some other waters with that bullshit, is what I say.
Although it sucked so much if you were downloading something like a large (for the time) game and had call waiting or someone picked up a phone in another part of the house. 3 hours down the drain.
Definitely, but there was a time before them. A dark and evil time when your world could be destroyed by a guy calling to sell gutter cleaning services.
I had one, I forget its name, but it was a firewall AND download manager. Bizarre combo if you ask me but it was pretty cool. Its logo was a lightning bolt I think.
That is kinda fucked up. Understandable though, peer pressure sure is a bitch sometimes. Making you do things you should have never done, all for the sake of getting that feeling of “fitting in”. Especially when you are not yet mature enough to even realise that what you are doing is bad.
I think anyone who grew up heavily using the internet in the 90s/00s is inoculated against ads as a survival mechanism. Back in those days, clicking ANY sort of ad was a good way to get a virus or spyware. I learned to avoid ads at all cost and, to this day, I’m distrustful of any ad I see.
This is true even today. Ads are shady af and even the top link on Google is often a literal scam/virus. Ie for years if you looked up the most popular game client for runescape - runelite - the very first link was a fake version that stole your login info. They paid Google and Google said ‘not my problem’. Not to even mention ads on other sites like Facebook. Even in the cases where an ad isnt a blatant scam or virus, ads are inherently dishonest by design and there is no consequence for using them to lie about your product.
I don’t have Peacock but I’m hanging out at my parents house and apparently when you pay for Peacock you have to watch ads at the beginning and end of shows PLUS every time you pause.
Every single time they paused it transitioned to an ad. What psychopaths run NBC?
Yeah, those damned marijuana cigarette smokers are all whippersnappers, just bad eggs all around! I would never condone ANY devils lettuce, just say “Fiddlesticks to you!”
I support marijuana legalization, but this argument doesn’t work. The reality is that we all pay a price when people do certain things. It would be naive in the extreme to argue, for example, that opioids haven’t had a very negative impact on society as a whole. Or think about smoking cigarettes. How much does society pay for all the health problems it causes? Drinking? How much do we all pay for the chaos alcohol can cause, the domestic issues it creates, the broken families, the people killed by drunk drivers? This ain’t the wild west, you can’t just live and let live anymore in a world of 8 billion people.
People need to be allowed to enjoy their lives even if it has a cost. I’m not advocating for driving while under the influence. I’m advocating for being able to make your own choices about your own health. I think it goes further than just drugs. We even make laws preventing people from swimming in public water because they could drown. Shit happens. We can’t let cost and perfect safety ruin all the fun in the world. Just because some people can’t handle it, doesn’t mean it should be removed from life entirely.
Sure. We will have to be willing to pay the price as a society, and that’s a hard sell for people who don’t choose to do those things. Probably worth reiterating that we actually do restrict people from swimming in certain places. Why? Because it’s too dangerous and also puts rescuers at risk. You might say, “well just let them drown”, but that seems rather callous in my opinion. I suppose the boring answer like usual is finding a middle ground where most interested parties are unhappy with the compromise.
I imagine everyone has some slightly risky things they like to do with their free time. The way to sell it is to recognize that we’re all paying for something else other people want to do in some way or another that we don’t take advantage of ourselves. By collectively contributing to society, we can make this whole experience of life worth living for everyone. I, personally, don’t want to be forced into a plastic bubble of safety for my entire life.
You can make the argument that one can become dependent on weed despite it having no addictive properties, but you can also make that argument about weird shit like eating toilet paper or playing video games.
I’ve done this regularly. Went from every day use to quitting for a year before becoming a teacher, and have regularly stopped for 6 months to a year for various reasons since.
You’re getting the upvotes in this thread because that other dude is off, but weed is definitely addictive. Or maybe you don’t consider gambling addictive because neither necessarily have a chemical component to the addictiveness.
There are also side effects to quitting after prolonged use.
As someone who’s drank alcohol and smoked cannabis, yeah alcohol is absolutely more dangerous/obstructive to normal function but no one bats an eye if you go home after work and have a couple beers.
Hell when I was in the military it was practically expected that you were going to show up to work hungover since there wasn’t fuck all to do.
Smoke a joint on leave? Kicked out, you’re the worst soldier/sailor/marine/airman that’s ever existed.
It’s an absolute joke that alcohol is considered safe enough to be legal but cannabis isn’t. Of the two, alcohol should be the illegal one.
Yup. Didn’t touch anything until after I ETS’d. Except tobacco and booze, which were basically… subsidized? Yeah, heavily subsidized by the exchange stores in the 90s. A carton of marlboros was $10 lol. I literally remember people bitching and moaning when it went up a dollar shortly before I left the army. Surreal.
Or… you just ask for seeds from somebody already with plants. Buying and trading may be illegal… handing out seeds is not buying or trading.
I’m pretty anti- smoking in general because i don’t think people consider those around them when they do smoke… but your logic has been quite silly. Especially after being caught in a blatant lie.
And yet caffeine is more addictive with stronger withdrawal effects.
You should give up, it’s clear to everyone that you’ve never used the substance and have all your information from drug-war era reefer madness propaganda.
Again, I didn’t say all countries follow objective morality (Basically countries that violate human rights, which is basically the closest thing to a codified objective morality we have)
Or they’re sick of seeing people sentenced to prison for smoking a plant that isn’t even as intoxicating as the socially acceptable and fully legal alcohol.
I don’t smoke anymore, thanks. Used to, but don’t anymore. Any evidence of it being poison? No? Aww, you’re just lashing out like a kid then, I’ll stop responding
There’s something deeply sad in you’re replies, just a lack of compassion and a willingness to consider another viewpoint, with a faint hint of xenophobia 🙈🙉🙊
Okay I’ve had enough it’s time for me to tell you that you are completely out of touch with reality. Now that you know this, you can overcome your ignorance with a little awareness. Good luck, it’s going to be a bit of a battle to get your perceptions straightened out.
It’s just bewildering to prohibit a plant that is easy to grow, serves a lot of uses, and doesn’t easily get you killed.
I’m also in Europe, and still trying to cope with the fact that I got into trouble with the law for tending a garden. Well I guess at least it re-radicalized me for all it’s worth.
