It didn't work for me on FireDragon + uBlock Origin... at first. Then after a few seconds of the rest of the article being "redacted", it suddenly appeared.

So many layers to that name.

I mean, "Yanks" is right there.

Or "septics", if you wish to be politically correct.

I mean, this is a guy who considers rape the highest compliment he can pay a woman.

Daniels said, most recently under oath, that after briefly meeting Trump in 2006, she was invited to dinner and to meet him at his hotel room. ...

Daniels testified that she thought they would be going to a restaurant, and eventually used the bathroom in Trump's hotel room, but upon re-emerging was surprised to find Trump stripped to his underwear sitting on the bed. Daniels testified she said "I think we should go" and moved toward the door but Trump allegedly stood in her way saying in part, "This is the only way you're getting out of the trailer park." Daniels could not remember how she ended up on the bed, but testified that they had sex in the missionary position and Trump chose not to use a condom. Daniels insisted she was neither forced nor under the influence, but also said it wasn't something she wanted and that she "blacked out".

Tombstone, 1993.

With the passing of Val Kilmer, I realized I had still never seen it!

Finally realized the source of this meme:

EDIT: sooo many actors I recognized. So many that at the end credits, I counted them all: 23 (inc. Robert MItchum doing the narration.)

I think the only film that might compete on that score is Enemy of the State.

Thanks for those.

But wondering... who is getting my login details when I log in with those front-ends?

They appear to be the same TLD as my home instance (lemmy.ca) but I'm already logged in on lemmy.ca yet not logged in on those front-ends.

Thanks for the info.

No action in two years... :(

Yes, a less awful or even decent US business is better than an awful US business.

Yeah, I too remember there was some anger but not the reason for it. Licensing issues, maybe? Anyway, with the kerfuffle, bloat, and Java requirement, it didn't have enough to keep me from µTorrent.

Also been using qBittorrent for the last few years, on Windows and the last two years on Linux. With search plugins for key sites, so I can avoid the popups that even uBlock Origin can't prevent.

(Due to an unpatched security vulnerability in the repo version of qB, currently using AppImages of latest versions of both qB and qB-enhanced. Only difference I personally notice is that qB-enhanced follows my system theme, dark.)

Why are some comments highlighted (or "greylighted"), e.g. the three in the middle, and some are not?

Is it something to do with my instance (lemmy.ca)? Their instance? Invidividual users?

(I'm viewing in a web browser. Default settings, lemmy.ca)
