I would equally post complaining if there were monthly posts about how beautiful the Spanish Missions in the Americas were, and how they increased the literacy rate. That said, if you have to defend yourself you dun did mess up. Add on you

I read condemnation on this site every day against Europeans/Americans because of things done in the past that we were not a part of. Yes, a social structure similar to Jim Crow in the USA should be condemned not celebrated as being to

If taxes were paid on the money then your example makes zero sense. But yes we must explain everything to the Government. Rights aren't inherent, but are granted to us by the government if we can explain good enough why we need them. C

It's probably using the VPN mechanism to grab traffic for inspection and can't do what it does without that.

The fees are required to be listed 'at the point of sale' not on advertising. Basically they have to tell you at signup what they are going to charge you. Seems like an extremely reasonable requirement.

I am so glad Teddy Roosevelt spent so much time in civilization on computers or we might not have had a National Park system.

One of these days will be the last time you pick your kids up in your arms, ever. And you won't know it when the event happens, only realize it has passed later.

I'll just leave this here in case anyone finds it useful. This system only works if you participate in it. When you think surely the government will do something about this, be the person to get that ball rolling, it doesn't happe

Problem with ACH is you have to cancel your bank account to stop withdrawals. There are horror stories of people getting fired and being unable to stop ACH withdrawals (I'd rather my rent bounce this month than not be able to eat, etc)

It's been worth it to me. I pay for NextDNS, Youtube Premium, and Kagi and the web feels so much better. From the threads here about taking your life minutes back I've also installed SponsorBlock for Youtube. Life's too short

Yes, and Amazon has improved the shopping experience as they have gained these insights as well. As someone who went away from the world for 5 years so wasn't in the pot as it slowly started to boil, Google and Amazon are both signific

What you are referring to is a zombie business. It does not offer enough value so it can only survive via low wages, something that is not guaranteed and is externally controlled. I think banks should does including this measure when it com

There are more California plates in mine and the surrounding towns than there have been in the last 20 years. California wasn't about boom and bust, it was about optimism. The oil patch is boom/bust and it adds to making it a horr

A lot of people like me that were forced to leave for financial reasons are grasping for justification for leaving other than 'because we didn't have enough financial value'. It sucks when your hometown kicks you out because

Seasons get less nice the older you get. At first I loved them, but 20 years on I really wish I was in California and just went to Tahoe to get my snow fix. If you leave California, think hard about how much snow you have to remove when loo

My mom had cancer that was treated. The official correct follow-up was to get checked to make sure it didn't come back every 2 years. At the 2 year check it was too late and untreatable. I no longer trust doctors/advisory panels a

Why are product companies going on earnings calls and saying that inflation is coming from their raising their profits if it results from deficit spending? https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/apr/27&#x2F

I'm currently modifying a car. Each part is a drop in the bucket yet once I add up the price of them all...oh look I can't afford it and something has to give. Want to guess which 'something' has never been looked at to

If you are called the 'Justice' system you are out of a job when there's no longer a need to implement 'Justice' because you solved the issue higher up the food chain. Why would they put themselves out of work?

Are you really proposing an 80/20 rule where if you prosecute someone for a crime you have to dedicate X amount of energy to procedure whom 'besterarm' has designated as opposition to the person who broke the law? Now that so

Our court system is already constitutionally violatingly too slow (but we overlook it because who cares about the constitution nowadays) but yes lets change cases to have 15 judges that ought to be a workable solution. Or wait, we can have

And that is why we have a balance. The legislature can change the law to be more explicit if they don't like the judicial interpretation. Our system ONLY works if judges have this power.

Why does the current incarnation of Silicon Valley have to always be shady? Why can't it say 'our service is X' and then deliver service X, not some who knows what other agenda? A car parts store just sells car parts, they do

And ironically, the courts and DOJ tend to not do anything unless publishers shine a spotlight on it. Luckily the internet has done away with most local news making everyone in the chain's life easier.

It makes me so sad that Russia has chosen to not be part of the western world going forward. Such a needless divorce created by Russia for what, so that they can kill their 'brotherly' slavic neighbors? I always wanted to see the
