Craigslist is an example of if its not broken, don’t fix it. Im sure the low-tech design of the site, in addition to being part of its image nowadays, also allows them to keep their overhead costs to a minimum, allowing it to function unchanged

I know this will be widely panned but, if your goal is top-down driving with absolutely zero worries about reliability, may I remind you of the existence of the Toyota Solara?

Craigslist is an interesting use case - it doesnt NEED to evolve. in fact, its clunkyness is weirdly part of its charm now.  

If I wanted TikTok, I would be on TikTok.

There’s a recipe for cowboy caviar on Allrecipes that has comments going back to at least 2009 — it’s not a new thing. Apparently the dish’s origins date back to the 1940s? While it’s correct that TikTok people are unlikely to be breaking new culinary ground, there’s no reason to think they’re uniquely engaged in some…

Your statement presumes that someone like Zuckerberg has a soul to suck

“Jon Voight’s an idiot.” Haha, preach!

It’d be great IF... similar to Twitter (top vs latest tweets), if you go to the Following feed, it would stick and not change you back every time you open IG. Jesus.

Anyone else beside me never connect Drew from Deliverance as the same actor who played Jones in Robocop? I’m so used to seeing Ronnie Cox play sneering assholes in a suit and tie that I completely missed that he was the most gentle, low-key member of the group in Deliverance.

Yeah maybe add or improve functionality, but leave me in my early 2000s internet, please? I’m bored of everything fitting in “material design” language and jumping from site to site only to see nearly identical bubbly lifeless UI.

I don’t think raw shrimp is disgusting. It just gives me pause. And in any case, if I used cooked shrimp then it wouldn’t be aguachile. If someone made it or me with super fresh shrimp, I’d definitely eat it and probably love it. Just wouldn’t make it, especially since I love ceviche.

You need to take Craigslist’s name out your damn mouth. I hope in the year 2077 we all have flying cars and we buy used free weights off that same damn interface from 1997.

Myself and my wife follow a lot of local artists and illustrators. The anger and disappointment has been through the roof, the service effectively hobbling their ability to not just share their work - but make money from it. These wouldn’t be massive accounts, so of course Meta doesn’t care, but large enough all the…

Before the sci-fi angle was added, it was originally the tale of a small-town Irish policeman, Rob O’Cop.

Very informative! I’ve never had aguachile. I’ve also never had raw shrimp. I love sushi and ceviche, but I feel a little squicky about raw shrimp (probably because I’ve cleaned a million of them, since we live on the Gulf Coast). 

My Instagram used to show photos from people I deliberately followed.

I make a point to use an ad blocker. I’m not gonna help give that private equity firm a single penny.

Who remembers when the AV Club ran a weekly crossword puzzle? That’s how long I’ve been a regular visitor here. After all the great writers and features that have gone, and all the full-screen pop-up ads and everything else awful that’s been added, these 30-second videos (that, by the way, I’m not going to watch and …
