For the love of God can you please just focus on the browser. Right now Firefox is the one thing standing between all web protocols being decided by Google and an open net. You'll do a hell of a lot more good by ensuring Alphabet doesn

The amount of effort to file a grievance against the guy because he was late seems a little extreme. Especially since I haven't slept in 5 days now because of the aforementioned beby. Although it was incredibly telling when I asked the

Just had baby Dr wanted to do it at 7:00 and the hospital required us to be there at 5:00am. Dr showed up half an hour late. The reason he scheduled for then was so he could still do office hours. His office closes at noon. Don't like

You act like that's a really bad thing but tbh requiring payment for verification seems to me one of the easiest ways to combat misinformation. Suddenly you have an actual source of money tied to an actual person that ties someone to t

I agree it's those damn regulations like lousy "worker protections" and boring stupid taxes like SS and "unemployment" back in my day you'd show up to a group of men pick out the 5-10 strongest and give em 5 bu

That's what always gets my goat. People seem to be less concerned with actual equality and improving things and more interested in claiming symbolic prizes. Why bother trying to make to her schools and opportunities better when what we

Basically RE prices went through the roof and became an object of investment that gained in value during a time when money was cheap and cash was a bad place to store it. This caused management funds, BlackRock Berkshire etc, to start purch
