Whoa, wanting less people via having fewer kids isn’t eugenics, it’s wishful thinking. I don’t subscribe to the idea of forcing people to have fewer kids.

Edit: I can see how it sounds like I am advocating for eugenics in my earlier post. I will update it.

You’re not wrong, but this is more of a class issue than a generational issue, although in this case they certainly intersect. My boomer parents don’t have any money; they got screwed over by the 1% just like the rest of us.

I’ll debate it. The world would be way better off with about 6 billion less people in the world.

Edit: My apologies. I am NOT advocating for eugenics, mass murder, or anything else. My thought of having fewer people is wishful thinking of what a better world would be like if we simply never got to 7 billion people in the first place.

Yes they do. Millions of them do.

This made me wonder though…the car obviously has cameras on the outside, and there’s also a way to communicate with the support team from inside…so is it a stretch to think that these cars could be auto-recording everything that’s happening inside the car?

Should we - as riders - have any expectation of privacy in a car with no driver?

There’s dozens of us!

I fully expect PayPal to harvest and share the United States data anyway - regardless if you opt out - and they’ll get a slap on the wrist 5 years later when someone finds out about it.

Because it’s accepted all over the internet and is the only way to pay on many websites.

It’s also a way to send money to friends, just like venmo and such. And just like venmo and such, has very few consumer protections or regulation.

The US doesn’t have a national or government system to freely send payments to other people - and no one uses checks anymore - so we all have to pick one of these equally awful private companies to use to send money and hope we don’t get scammed or have our account frozen and our money seized.

+1 for philips.

The problem is most of what the big box hardware stores in the US are selling are junk brands. And they won’t even offer basics like a philips 75-watt-equivalent soft-white led in their stores.

The junk brand bulbs will fail in my kitchen light fixture after a year (they start flickering). The philips bulbs have never failed for me.

A properly designed and produced led bulb should last like 20 years.

And then there are people like me, who aren’t opposed to paying for access in theory, but will never be okay with having the videos I watch be tied to an account. It’s inconvenient and I don’t trust Google with my watch history, even when the option is turned off.

Also I wouldn’t pay until: Youtube stops showing ads for hate groups; stops its manipulative recommendations and push towards right-leaning and extremist content; stops manipulating creators to all make the same kind of video in order to please the algorithm; removes hate content and extremist content; stops auto-flagging and removing fair-use content.

The law bans platforms from sending notifications without permission from parents to minors between midnight and 6 a.m., and between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. on weekdays from September through May, when children are typically in school.

Wait, they hardcoded the school season and school hours into the law? What about schools that don’t follow those schedules?

Good on you to call out body shaming when you see it.

Body shaming is still far too accepted and pervasive in our society and it should be called out every time we encounter it.

Thank you for this post. Keep fighting the good fight.

But saying “small dick energy” only works as an insult because having a small dick is still seen by many people as something bad.

If nobody thought that having a small dick was an insult, then “small dick energy” wouldn’t be insulting either.

This reminds me of a Youtube series a guy did called When Phones Were Fun.

I had the Touch Pro 2 and loved it! Windows Mobile was a complete mess in the best possible way.

Nonono. To hell with that phone and that company. i bought one and it just now got delivered, three years later.

It’s underpowered and a broken mess. And the keyboard isn’t the best, which is insane for a phone whose whole selling point is the keyboard. I was expecting it to be on par with my old Sidekick phones. Nope. So disappointing.

Exactly. Google had the existing userbase of – and free advertising to – every single person who visited google.com. All it took was a little banner saying “Get Chrome! It’s free and better!”

That, combined with having billions of dollars to throw at making Chrome successful, of course they became the #1 browser.

The Firefox team has never had the funding they really need to compete with Chrome. I see the AI and ad push to be a desperate attempt at securing enough funding to stay relevant. It’s really sad to see.

As long as Firefox lets me turn off any unwanted ad or AI integration, I will keep using them, but damn I hope they secure some funding and get their shit together before they lose the majority of their userbase.

The 4th Circuit court is out of their minds on this ruling.
