It's funny you mention the ACA, since what we have now came from Republicans absolutely gutting the original ACA proposal which should surprise absolutely no one since the GOP is bought and paid for by insurance companies.

I get what you're saying, but apathy at that scale isn't calling democrats a horse. It's taking a backseat on your future.

"I know why she lost"

She lost because 11 million people sat out this election. That's it, that's all there is.

The fact is that most of this country leans blue, and when voters turn out, blue typically wins. This is why the GOP is doing everything they can to make sure people don't vote.

Trump has a vote ceiling of around 74, maybe 75 million. In 2020, 81 million people voted for Biden.

Remember when Las Vegas was set to receive the country's first high speed rail between there and LA until Elon Musk promised the city commission that he could do it cheaper using the hyperloop? And then the hyperloop became a murder subway until it eventually crumbled beneath his hubris?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Cool. If OpenAI gets a pass, then piracy should be legal, right? I mean what good is a trademark or copyright law?

Edit: "I can't make money without stealing other people's work" is definitely a take

Hey all, I made a Firefox extension (signed by Mozilla) specifically to add Show/Hide Child Comments functionality similar to how RES had it (where the parent comment is still visible).

It's not very useful, but I could use some feedback on tightening up the Javascript. I'm not a JS beginner, but I know I can do better, so any tips are welcome!

EDIT: Also, if anyone has any suggestions for the extension, I'm open to those as well.

I've been a professional programmer for nearly a decade and I just realized that C# is C++++ with the pluses stacked

That's Threads, not Twitter.

Also, fucking good for her. She's awesome.

Kyle Rittenhouse's sister Faith is seeking $3,000 on a crowdfunding website in a bid to prevent the eviction of herself and her mother Wendy from their home, citing her "brother's unwillingness to provide or contribute to our family."

Maybe I'm cynical, but this seems like something that would be incredibly easy to fake

Everyone is mad about this but I still don't understand how RDR2 was even nominated for Labor of Love, let alone won.

Installed yesterday and immediately went ad-free. It's such a beautiful app.

Anyway, question is in the title.

This boy choked someone and shot someone else before turning 7. Maybe a psychiatric hospital should be his home.

If you install the duckduckgo browser and turn on app tracking protection, you'll see just how much data is harvested from mobile apps, which is genuinely scary.

This is why these sites are pushing the mobile app. It's much harder to prevent trackers through an app than it is through a web browser.

  1. Thoughts are energy.
  2. Einstein proved that energy is mass.

I'm new myself but took the time to learn the platform. I'm not sure other people will have as much of an interest, so I'm just wondering if it would be a good idea for some of the old hat people to post some tips for people coming over from reddit.
