Speaking of dinosaurs...

The funny part of this is most songs today have very few word...typically the same phrase 15 times.

Those memes are excellent. It's not bad enough with the dildo on the shelf, but her name is on the screenshot for all the world to see.

Have you heard of the Trump Accounts? Got this in my inbox
from the SSA:
Trump Accounts - "individual investment accounts for America’s
children designed to grow with the U.S. economy."
Not mentioned: what if the economy shrinks? As it is doing now.
Money lost to inflation. And crooked politicians will privatize it
to benefit their 'donors' in exchange for kickbacks, as they are
attempting to do with social security and Medicare.
Don't buy it. Anything named trump is a scam.

but, that fourth meme is from the song For What's it Worth back in 1966.

Listen to the first two lines of the song.

Thanks for the memes.

@JtC ...then again, I'm generally at least as likely to be familiar with songs older than me as anything more recent (most of which I loathe anyway).

That all said, I DO recognize that song! It was briefly referenced in an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000, and more importantly...

Some of the things I try to upload (and I'm talking JPGs here)...just don't. I get a slender white box when I try that looks like it should contain a message, but it doesn't. I don't understand the problem at all. I can't even tell any difference between pictures that DO work and those that don't.

@The Liberal Moonbat

empty skinny popup dialog a few times myself. I think one thing that causes it is when the image file is too large- the site's image import scaler sometimes throws up.

I've worked around that by going into Gimp (the open-source Photoshop equivalent) and scaling them down to a size the site's scaler can handle. Hope that helps!

wait it out for a few, once it goes away, proceed.
Sometimes the rest of the steps work unless the file
is too large. Then?? Know not. Snoopy found a work-around
but I had little luck with that. Something about copying the image
to your email app and bringing it up there. I just give up. No patience.

P.S. funny stuff.

@The Liberal Moonbat

Happens when c99 is being penalized by Google for saying mean things about Israel's genocide.

(Actually, I've found some proof. Examine 'Page Source" on an Open Thread. Occasionally certain phrases show up in the encryption. You'll recognize it when you see it. I've found my home address. A short sentence about genocide from a Caitlin Johnstone rant. The name of a business I owned years ago and didn't file taxes on — sprinkled throughout six pages of encryption. Could have been data from Palantir).

Oh, baby, it's a wild world, now.

@Pluto's Republic I don't see what that would have to do with me trying to upload pictures from my own computer, especially since I see no pattern in what gets through and what doesn't, certainly no pattern that would reflect having anything to do with that.

BTW, you're just who I've been meaning to talk to: A while back, you made a surprisingly compelling case for not voting being an actively good idea for some reason (something to do with the UN); I was hoping you could cough it back up one way or another, I'd have one or two people to share it with. I always took voting seriously, but you were the first and so far only individual to give me reason to reconsier.

@The Liberal Moonbat
It's because you're trying to upload an image that's too large. The limits in size are 1 MB and a width of 500 px. The limits are there to keep our server from being overloaded with images that are too large.

If you upload an image that is less than 1 MB but wider than 500 px it will automatically be cropped to 500 px and that will lessen the resolution of the image.

The best practice is to import the image into a graphics editor and resize it to 500 px wide and then upload it, you'll get less loss of resolution that way.
