The idea is to get people to click random and unhelpful links. The song is mildly annoying, but otherwise harmless.

Earlier practice was to link to a shock site. The best known was goatse, but tubgirl and lemon party were also common.

This might be interesting. I turned off all of my Google history years ago. I presume they still collected all of it.

This could reveal some of that.

Trust me, that song is way less annoying than what it replaced.

This must be regional. I've never heard the song, nor the title. Only the very end sounded familiar, and that was from Looney tunes.

That said, not many people around here had cell phones in the 90s, and even fewer used them with enough regularity to notice their ringtone beyond the fact that it was ringing.

You're glossing over the most important word:

The payment was made just before everything got DOGEd

It was a valid payment, not made in error. They decided after the fact that they didn't like the valid payment, and reversed it. This likely involved fraud, because that's not a valid reason to reverse a payment.

They didn't "create" money. They "extracted" it from the working class.

"Lemmy is independent Reddit" has worked well for me

For anyone as confused as me, the "nails" are fingernails, not the construction part.

Yes, see Israel.

Unless you are retiring soon, this isn't particularly important. For anyone still in the grind, this just means buying the dip.

But it sounds like you are retiring soon, and need more stable investments. I wish you luck on that.

This can get a bit complicated with federation. This community is hosted on LW. I am accessing it via sopuli.xyz, and you via feddit.uk. All (presumably) have full bidirectional federation with each other.

When I hit send, this message will go to Sopuli's outbox, which will then sync to LW for this community. At that point, this post will live on LW's servers. Anyone accessing LW directly can see it, even if Sopuli were to go down. Later (probably less than a minute), LW will sync to Feddit.uk, at which point you will be able to see it.

Note that this is for text posts only. There have been some changes around images and video, both for bandwidth and liability reasons.
