Yeah, I peeked at your moderation history after posting, it’s OK, I see now this is the best I could have expected in answer. Good day to you!

Bullshit.

If you want to use the browser despite those controversies then that’s your choice, but be honest enough to admit they exist.

I don’t use brave and haven’t for a long time, but these things are well documented.

An actual list of the “problems everyone hopes they never have” category of our various problems is pretty long right now, and many of them are more personal than I want to share.

Shit’s not the worst it’s ever been for us currently, but financially it’s closer than my wife realizes it is (because she’s got enough to deal with right now), and (gestures around at everything Trump related) I’m figuring several of our problems are going to get worse before they get better.

I’ve got long and medium term plans to sort most of it out, but like all such plans they depend on the short term stuff going at least more or less as I hope, and on the complete collapse of US society not actually happening.

Glib sounding yet serious response in meme-form because this really is how it’s looking so far in my mid-late 50s:

OP sounds like a nice person for posting such a thread, and I hope you are doing well sir or madam. 🙂

I, for one, welcome our AI overlords.

This is it for the curious:

This is just related:

Something something stallmanwasright.

This is why I usually try not to label myself these days. Invariably there is nuance that I’m not aware of, or that some others interpret differently.

I’m NOT a democrat, republican, conservative, communist, socialist, liberal, maga, or anarchist.

But I lean left on social issues, often hard left, though I say that while also saying I’m firmly anti-authoritarian. And I don’t really put fiscal on a separate axis because there are fiscal impacts to any set of beliefs with regard to how various social issues should be considered. I’m also not at all conversant in the slightest bit of nuance regarding how the economy works.

I’m sure some folks would call me a leftist based on the above. Others would insist I’m a liberal. Am I a progressive? Not sure.

Let’s not forget the quality. Also poor.

I frequent a bagel place that automatically adds a fairly hefty (not THAT hefty) tip when you pre-order online for in-store pickup.

If not for the fact that they are by far the best place to go for bagels in my area (we have few choices), that alone would stop me from ordering.

Their bagels are good, and I’m not above tipping at a bagel place. But their prices are already very high for a bagel place (they know what they got), they do brisk business, and they should damn well be paying their employees more rather than trying to sneak a 25% tip into every online order. It doesn’t even present it as in OP - it’s just there in the itemization in the end and you need to manually edit it out before ordering.

Edt - oh and if real, I ain’t never going back to the place in OP after seeing that one time.

🤔

Not trying to be flippant, nor am I criticizing women. This kind of assessment is (IMO) the most likely reason:

Literally had this conversation in our house in the past 72 hours about their “Burrito Sized” wraps. (but over here in the US)

We don’t normally buy that brand, but we have in the past and it was all that was avail.

My wife opened it up and was like WTF.

Remind me how much that is helping you out next time you are trying to make a wrap from a taco sized tortilla.

Well, if we still have a nation four years from now, someone who cares about consumer protection might do something about that.

I’ll try hard not to become a troll posting this under every headline, but that’s my reaction to just about every article now of this sort.

Company, Republican Politician, or Billionaire does something clearly unethical and probably illegal, which is officially noted and reported on.

Yeah, and? It’s not a non-wealthy citizen, a democrat, or an entity targeted by maga as woke, so we can be sure the impact of this information will be most likely zero.

We are on the stupidest, bitterest timeline.

A tangentially related suggestion for you, if you share my fascination with the context around the art we make (though you are probably well aware if you’re an old-head haha), there’s an EXCELLENT documentary about the LA hc punk scene that was released during its zenith (arguably) in 1981.

Absolutely was NOT aware, but I will check it out!

he most convincing argument I can make to get people to watch it is that the LAPD chief wrote an op-ed demanding theaters not screen it.

Well shiiiiit bro, that was all you had to say!

Thank you very much!

I’m really just about the ideal age to have been an OG Punk fan, but at the time my attention was elsewhere, so I’m excited to crib from this list. 🙂
