Please continue running your own blog. Don’t give some other company “free” content.

I hate that the entire modern internet is controlled by a few corporates.

The downsides to running your own blog are lack of technical knowledge/interest, and reduced monetization. Since you’ve already overcome the problem of technical knowledge, and you aren’t looking for monetization, please continue running your own blog.

As for visibility, maybe your could start sharing links on lemmy? Perhaps you could start a dedicated community of your own if you’re hesitant to post it on other existing communities.

Because the butthole is sensitive and repetitive exposure to heat can cause issues.

Who is this clown?

Okay, which instances should I block to get rid of the tankies?

I lick it clean before putting it in the fridge.

Somebody who isn’t a pedant would interpret that as “All trained surgeons performing this procedure on their respective patients with the same condition would be fine. So me, a trained surgeon, performing this procedure is also fine.”

ಕನ್ನಡ (Kannada): ಶಂಖದಿಂದ ಬಂದ್ರೇನೇ ತೀರ್ಥ - shankadinda bandrene teertha.

Literally: it’s holy water only if it comes from a conch.

Meaning: people are only going to take things seriously if a specific person says it.

Example scenario: you tell a friend that a cab to go somewhere costs X amount, but they don’t believe you and check with a different friend and then accept that it’s going to cost them X.

You’d then say this idiom to tease them since you gave them the same water (information) but it wasn’t holy water since you weren’t a conch (someone they trust/have faith in).

It’s not as bad as Google yet, but I find myself getting terrible or no results quite a few times.

Ex: if I’m looking for a niche blog post from example.com, just entering the keywords doesn’t return the right result, if anything at all. I have to add “site:example.com” and the right link shows up on top.

It’s kinda amusing when this happens, but I keep using ddg anyway because bing and Google had the same issue for the same keywords when I ran into the issue.

Are you completely incapable of communicating without resorting to personal attacks?

Do you know how many scams happen because it’s ridiculously easy for anyone to edit the “knowledge” panel? I’d rather click an extra button and get the real number from the business’ own website than trust whatever is on Google.

“You’re not this obtuse are you?” – uncalled for, but, I guess you are who you are. So, you do you, buddy.

…and the website should have all that information, right?

SEO itself is fine - it’s just optimising your website website for whatever a search engine considers important.

The problem is that search engines’ seem to have absolutely garbage metrics for what is important and worth it.

An example of search engines failing me miserably last month:

I wanted to hire a photographer, so I started searching using keywords like “wedding photographer MAJOR_CITY_NAME”, “photography MCN”, “event photographer MCN”, etc. The top results I got were all mostly along the lines of “top ten wedding photographers in MCN” i.e. listicles with links to a few photographers who probably paid the listicle creator? There were maybe one or two links to a photographer’s website itself in the first page.

I’m okay with ignoring the first page of results and moving on to following pages. But rather than giving me individual photographer’s websites in subsequent pages, I started getting listicles for “top ten wedding photographers in OTHER_CITIES”. I’d click through multiple pages of results to find maybe 5 direct website links.

What actually helped me find a photographers eventually was entering the exact same key words on Instagram. Almost every single one of them that I found on Instagram had an excellent website and the city name, and their addresses were mentioned clearly on their websites. So, it wasn’t a case of them not having enough information on their website. It’s just that search engines chose to prioritise listcles of photographers from other cities rather than giving me links to individual websites of photographers in my own city.

In this case, I got lucky because photographers have a presence on Instagram which has a functional search engine. What if I want to find a plumber, or someone else? I’m forced to just trust a listicle creator because search engines don’t want to give away links to single purpose websites and only want to keep us on websites with a shit ton of content (that may or may not be what you need) and ads.

Ted Lasso too!

Yes. What if someone MITMs me and chops off the poor horse’s leg?

C has some uses other than K/S. The usage in "ch"ess, for instance. We’ll have to shoehorn some other letter here if C is eliminated.

Though I found that most people who absolutely loved the movie hadn’t seen the original movie, or read the first book, so they didn’t know anything to color their impression.

Can confirm. I haven’t read the book or watched the old movie and I absolutely loved the new one.

a monarch with - as was exposed a couple of years ago - real power

What is this in reference to?

but you don’t got bankrupt over a medical problem

That seems to be a US centric comment. People who came to Canada from other countries are fine even after moving back due to health reasons. And, even otherwise, I’m sure that I’d be happy to be alive and broke than dead and not-broke.

only have a few cities with good mass transit, high housing, wages are only high if you are in a wall street scumbag

Again, a US centric comment. People can move to Germany/UK/France etc. A lot of “third world countries” have decent enough infrastructure too. So people may choose to just move back to where they originally came from rather than be stuck here - which is the point of the article we’re commenting on.

Lack of healthcare availablity, lack of good transit connectivity outside of like 3 cities, insane housing cost, low wages - especially compared to the US… The list is long.

I love it here, but it’s not even close to utopia depending on your circumstances. I personally know 2 recent immigrant families (I’m an immigrant too, so I run into a lot of them in community events etc) who went back to their home countries within 2 years of immigration because they were diagnosed with medical conditions that needed attention which the healthcare system here could not give.
