I play chess online and it only costs me my self esteem.

Now we're cookin' with gas! er...without gas.

I’d like to know where YOU live? I’m in a a midwestern town of about 45,000 and it costs me about $18,000 a year for two toddlers.

I know it’s slightly different, but that’s why I never buy “lifetime” subscriptions when they’re offered through apps because I don’t trust for a second that they won’t just up and change their policy in the future when somebody gets a wild greedy hair up their ass and decides to screw over their loyal customers.

Lovely. Another floating action button. Why won’t floating action buttons just die already?

It actually sounds like ChatGPT, so...

I just can't believe how many people, knowing their own kids and grandkids will be inheriting the earth they've scorched, refuse to take even the smallest action to mitigate the effects of climate change. Everyone can clearly see the effects at this point, so you have to be either callous or stupid--or both, I guess...

Yet another news story Republicans will either completely ignore or use to confirm that the deep state is covering up election fraud. Sigh.

Loving the app so far! Thanks for all your hard work!

On top of that, they prioritize the drive-through in a lot of these places.

I was mainly referring to people with the power to effect significant change--politicians, world leaders, CEOs, etc, not your average person. I guess I should've been clearer on that point. I guess when I think about how many people in those positions are likely narcissists or psychopaths it starts to make more sense that they wouldn't care about their kids and grandkids, so...

Basically started with Watergate.

NTA. Sounds like you need to block the aunt and uncle as well.

I think a binary system leaves no room for nuance, and therefore, no ability for consumers to make informed decisions. What about a scale instead? 1 could mean “Cancerous? Technically, but don’t worry about it unless you’re mainlining it 23 hours a day, dude.” And 10 could mean, “Seriously, make sure your will is updated.”

It was March of 2021. President Joe Biden had just taken office, declaring his intent to “bring affordable, reliable, high-speed broadband to every American.” And instead of relying on Big Telecom, as much money as possible would go toward public networks. Biden promised to prioritize support for networks “owned, operated by, or affiliated with local governments, non-profits, and co-operatives.” He even suggested he’d clear the way legally for new municipal networks to exist by “lifting barriers that prevent municipally-owned or affiliated providers and rural electric co-ops from competing on an even playing field with private providers.”

I’m surprised Biden even said this part out loud. Whether it was just a politician’s promise or not, it means that, at least in speeches, the more dominant neo-liberal core of the Democratic Party is beginning to pay lip service to the progressive wing, which is something they didn’t really bother doing in the past. I think that’s a good sign.

I wonder how much of the watered-down law that ended up being less progressive was because Republicans, who always favor corporations over people, pushed for those changes.

Sorry, didn’t realize it was so hard for you to do basic math on your own. Won’t happen again, boss.
