With a million dollars you can buy mushrooms, making picking them feel pointless.

I suggest you play the first, then decide whether you want more.

Is it password1?

Breeding mosquitoes should help attract them.

Most painful upvote of my life.

That’s because nobody helped when their hair was on fire, and now they’re dead.

I’m right there with you. Also, it’s “it’s” and not “its”.

It’s called Xitter now, pronounced shitter.

I refuse to think of 2000 as anything but the future where will all have flying cars.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve heard of it, but haven’t tried yet - but I will.

I gave up on Google over a decade ago - maybe two decades by now. Way back when I was using Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, Astalavista, and others. When Google came, it somehow beat them all at finding exactly what I was looking for.

Later they stopped searching for the exact words you typed, but it was okay because adding a plus in front of terms, or quotes around phrases, still let you search exact things. The combination of both systems was very powerful.

And then plus and quotes stopped working. Boolean operators stopped working. Their documentation still says they work, but they don’t.

Now, it seems like your input is used only as a general guideline to pick whatever popular search is closest to what it thinks you meant. Exact words you typed are often nowhere in the page, not even in the source.

I only search Google maps now, and occasionally Google translate.

(b) will just lead to fewer up and down votes, i.e. less engagement. That in turn could lead to slowly bleeding out.
