Not sure if anyone here has noticed HF being kind of slow?

I tried searching for some stuff on Bing and it felt as fast as always.

It used to be mostly used when visiting the parents or inlaws when and where I came from. Then there's this nugget of WFC info for the hell of it:


What's the difference between folk and folks?


Folk is a collective noun (e.g. the folk are uprising). Folks is a collection of individual folk. The distinction being that "folk" refers to a mass or a mob -- It is referring to the collection or the mass itself. "Folks" is referring to the plurality of individuals that make up the mass.Dec 6, 2011

Interesting, never occurred to me that we use the typical singular form of the word for extended plural, as in a crowd or mob but use the plural form when meeting say a set of parents.

Any more odd or underrated words @Oogie Boogie ?

Neat is a favorite of mine that makes people laugh sometimes.
My ex found it fascinating that I would say "Neat"

Nu HF pop-up. Occurs on every page load. Blessings to you fools without adblockers, especially on your phones.

dns.adguard.com in your DNS settings is all it takes.

I doubt it will work forever, but just right clicking and blocking elements through uBO worked.

Couldn't figure out how to block it with uMatrix, but they probably snuck it into all the other scripts for the site.

Ah f***, that's not going to work on my phone....

Verizon are f***ing liars with their "Get a new phone for free" bullshit.

Stop showing me bullshit "deals" that require me to add a new god damn line. I'm already a customer, I have absolutely no reason to add a new line.

If there are requirements that need to be met, then it's not f***ing free.

Free? Does that mean I don't have to pay for the unlimited plan that I have to sign up for?

No? Then it's not free, you shit birds.

I don't care about all the fine print, you're lying
