Sometimes. Depends. Did it already have a name that everyone was already using and then you went out of your way to call it “China virus”, when your personal brand also just happens to be based on racist dog whistles and stoking xenophobia?

I wouldn’t blame trump’s blatant racism on some people in the media

Pretty sure you need an Apple device for the two-factor to work.

I wonder if their pricing change earlier this year had anything to do with it. They made the pricing model very antagonistic (eg the 1 hour package doesn't roll over, so driving for 2 hours on it costs way more than driving one hour,

Lol I‘m familiar with chess notation but was so confused by this that I was googling to see what chess move uses a “Z” :(

I rarely wish to click on the username or time links (“3 hours ago”), but that’s what I click on the most due to size and placement issues (when trying to vote or collapse a thread). I agree one should not blindly vote, but at the same tim

This happens to me all the time. A few weeks ago I registered for a half marathon and I’m still seeing targeted ads for it. As if I would somehow be able to run it twice lol..

Illegal voting is extremely rare. A bigger problem is election fraud.

I’m not following your example. You clarified in another comment that Louisiana is environmentally decimated due to the actions or votes of the blue states. However Louisiana typically goes hard red, and the GOP is very much opposed to envi

This would give even more power to special interests, as they only need to influence a governor (or a small number of state reps) to get their senate choice, rather than all the voters in the state. I can’t see why that’s better, since at l

We must have gotten different versions. I’m on mobile and my paywall didn't have an X to close it. I have seen the thing you’re talking about on desktop though..

Not really on topic but can we discourage the use of medium? It’s annoying to have to open these links in incognito and on top of that they do some other things that make reading more difficult.

I am one of those developers. Afterwards I just try to avoid yaml if I can. While it looks cleaner than json, I don’t find it especially easy to read and there is unnecessary ambiguity due to unquoted strings. And it seems to have a thing a

I’m sure mold grows in there because of the constant dampness. You can’t avoid touching the sides because the airflow is so strong and kind of forces it.

It’s a good start at least. You still have to worry about the password being in the middle of a base64 encoded string and weird cases like that but at least you could grep for some known things.

He was given the option to “skip the line” since his dad was an admiral. I think the way it worked is the POW who had been there longest would be first to leave when there was an exchange opportunity. McCain saw it as unfair for him to take

I’m no expert on this stuff but that Supreme Court judgement seems totally reasonable to me. Student-led optional prayer at an official school event doesn’t seem different from teacher-led prayer. I still have to sit around while a bunch o

I think you have it backwards. Abolishing prayer in school is not authoritarianism and doesn’t reduce personal freedom. You’re still free to pray on your own at school. Having an official religion is authoritarian (unless it’s a religious

That really sucks. But also what's the point of even having reviews it if it's going to be years in between them? There doesn't seem to be any upside, but lots of downside
