Several major subs have closed, they're forced to campaign to keep mods, a significant amount of content generators have left. Even though it's been only a couple weeks, they've slid on the global index of visited sites. They've lost 3-4% of 1.7 billion views in weeks. That's 10's of millions of ads not delivered. That alone is several million dollars lost on a site trying to be profitable. This doesn't include people on the fence, people currently unaffected because their app didn't die until this week, or people just watching the drama until it's boring again. Also, Reddit depends heavily on free labor to succeed, the bulk of the community that is leaving is their free labor pool. They don't have the cash to pay moderators for their time and they just removed the tools that let those people do their work.

If you're still using Chrome... What was it like hitting retirement age before 2008?

Jokes aside, Chrome really is the bottom of my list in the last several years. I've gotten the best functionality out of Firefox in the last while. Anyone else different?

If yall want people to discredit degrees, this is how it is done correctly.

The US is generally a lightweight on this front.

I'm honestly curious about a source for your perspective on the first sentence. I've seen firsthand where the USAF negotiated on an international level for enlisted Airmen over a DUI. This particular case was in Japan and while the Airman had to serve his term as dictated by the Japanese courts, he was aloud to do so in a US Military facility, which was a significantly higher QOL for that Airman.

I couldn't find an article while looking for a minute, but it's been quite a few years. I also promise that skin tone was not a distinguishing factor.

At the end of the day, though, I would simply like information on your perspective, not to convince you to change.

Hopefully, they don't lose 1/3rd of their navy accidentally... again.

Well, to be honest, this was a sarcastic comment to the time the US did accidentally sink more of their navy than intended. (A little more than 1/3 if their operational force.) The original goal was only 4 platforms IIRC. It may have grown a scotch before the end.

Which probably doesn't mean much to the sailors. Hind sight being 20/20 and all. Still a bit of an oops.

Calm down E E E.

He's right, though. The mistake of the 1930s was appeasement, lack of involvement, and a reduction of military industrial capacity. Too bad he advocates for 2 of those 3, and even on the third, he supports consolidation versus distribution and diversity of power.

And not all of them are house trained.

Bottom half.... it's all fuzzy in certain parts

I feel like I'm missing a couple steps... how?

I think we're just seeing reflections that happen to be close to the dogs skin tone. However, you're completely correct, and even if they look opaque, glasses should be tested.

How is non-premium different from normal radio?

According to Google, Bofa is slang for "both of." I'm guessing it's more of a play on both twins being exercised.

I'm game for not letting people capable of basic life choices to either, to be honest.

I'm always amazed by people with this level of imaginative inspiration with the talent and practiced skills to make it real.

How have the Chinese not played the reverse card and intentionally celebrated cooking fried rice as a sign of bravery in the face of an adversary here?

Because cardboard boxes already exist and "created" is poorly used here. https://boulderwine.com/product/bells-two-hearted-ipa-6-pack-cans/

Maybe add links to data sources and separate items that are objectively negative from those that someone may prefer? (i.e., reliability being low is always bad, left or right leaning being bad is based on individual perspectives.

I don't work in hardly anything touching a front end, but shouldn't you support all major browsers for your rendering? So, checking it in several browsers all the time.

I totally get the difference between should and do, so honestly asking. There is shit I should do, and there is shit that there is time to do. Checking all browsers on all updates may not be it.

I.e. Microsoft is looking to build an antitrust suit against Google.

Isn't there a second song where Johnny loses his soul because of the arrogance?

I'm sure it means something to someone. I'm just not that someone.

This picture is of Betty... and she's a massive Trump supporter.

Wait.

So, in response to the 300 weapon systems that US/Israel roughly blocked all of. (1 casualty from defensive shrapnel)

In turn Israel launched 1 missile, and it hit?

Ooof.

And exactly what form of even potentially effective action are they expecting?

I raised my hand (no, really, when they're being aggressive, that makes them think you're the bigger bird, and they'll mostly leave you alone)

Looks like summer is still going and not finished at all.

Carpet for your only whole $99.

As someone who had an almost decade-long gap between Wheel of Time books because my ADHD no longer permitted book reading at a certain point, I would respectfully disagree. Audio books have been a God Send in the last few years, discovering I can still enjoy past pleasures in full by exploiting myself in circumstances that are beneficial. Audio books have me back part of my life I had accepted as lost forever.

I will make 10's to 100's of thousands paving roads with gravel and be more than willing to pave roads for people who can't maybe afford it without consequence.

Empty containers may be profitable as well since I could verify which shipping containers could be skipped for further processing, saving hundreds to thousands of hours of time, over time.

I haven't done it in a couple, but I used to have a "trick or treat" table and a "trick or drink" table. You got to choose one. If I was even a little sus, you were carded, that was rare, and never actually caught anyone cheating anyhow. Takes a lot of prep work though.
