How is that embarrassing? I have literally 639 tabs right now, across 39 windows. Just live your life as you see fit.
There's no love lost between me and Meta, but I'm just gon' leave this here:
Say what you will, but this person absolutely knows what they're about.
I would genuinely like to see Edge open all 848 tabs I have hoarded over 61 Chrome windows. I wonder if it could do it faster than Chrome manages. After rebooting, Chrome reopens, with all my tabs intact, in about 5 minutes. Provided a sanitary shutdown, that is. It takes more like 15 minutes for it to become responsive again after a (rare) crash.
Clearly I have lost control of my life.
And yes, before you get on my case, I am working on switching back to Firefox after using Chrome for the last decade. It just takes a long time to pare down all these tabs.
Yep! It's almost as if "Stainless Steel" is just a marketing term for various iron alloys!
Imagine thinking a natural biological expression of sadness and grief is an insult. Masculinity so fragile you can almost taste it right through the internet!
We recommend four widely applicable high-impact (i.e. low emissions) actions with the potential to contribute to systemic change and substantially reduce annual personal emissions: having one fewer child (an average for developed countries of 58.6 tonnes CO2-equivalent (tCO2e) emission reductions per year), living car-free (2.4 tCO2e saved per year), avoiding airplane travel (1.6 tCO2e saved per roundtrip transatlantic flight) and eating a plant-based diet (0.8 tCO2e saved per year). These actions have much greater potential to reduce emissions than commonly promoted strategies like comprehensive recycling (four times less effective than a plant-based diet) or changing household lightbulbs (eight times less).

This is a pretty sad take from NdT, and it comes across as though he were attempting to dodge a question. Perhaps even to avoid being labeled, which is probably why you like it.
If 99% of the population were golfers, and 1% weren't, there would almost certainly be a word for the people who didn't golf. Same applies to theists. Up until very recently it would have been considered quite unusual to not be a theist.
Atheists did not decide on that label. The word is believed to have initially been pejorative.
So you're saying housing has a fundamental limit?
I mean you could say the same about concerts. They have a fundamental limit because the venue refuses to build a bigger space.
The St. Paul sandwich is wildly underappreciated. I had never heard of it before I lived in Missouri, and after I left I found that, like me, most people have never even heard of it. It's a sad state of affairs.
The St. Paul sandwich is a national treasure. It's a uniquely American food that only exists by dint of the "melting pot" of cultures that we as a country used to count among our best features.
They weren’t even that good as a kid if you read anything else
Here's an excellent analysis of how and why the Harry Potter hype of the late 90s was very intentionally manufactured and sold to kids.
Reposting a comment I wrote in another thread that explains it:
Bookmarks are for things I’ll need to reference again and again in the coming years. I do keep a tightly-curated bookmark collection, I just don’t want it clogged up with a bunch of stuff I can’t foresee needing in the long term.
Tabs are for things I’m working on right now and don’t need bookmarking for the long term. And, for what it’s worth, most of the browser windows are custom-titled, so the windows themselves are a lot like bookmark folders, while the tabs are like temporary bookmarks.
Plus, the ability to search through tabs by hitting Ctrl+Shift+A means that it ends up being faster to search through my tabs than my bookmarks, without using the mouse. ex: Ctrl+Shift+A, Type needed page, up/down arrows if needed, then hit enter to move to the tab. With Ctrl+Shift+O, you don’t get the same ease of scrolling the results without tabbing through a bunch of junk first.
There are other reasons, including neurological ones surely, but those are my primary justifications.
This is some top tier mental gymnastics. Holy shit, I hope you're a troll. You're literally on the internet discussing your plans to commit fraud. Mensa-level shit, here.
People are going to buy CP one way or another... that means you should make it and sell it to them, right?
Grow the fuck up, and maybe train a LLM on ethics, you're going to need some education on the subject if you hope to stay out of prison.
32gb. The browser is using about 11.2gb of ram at the moment, but I haven't restarted the browser or the computer in about a week. After a browser restart it's usually only using 5~6gb, though that steadily climbs as I reactivate hibernated tabs.

It seems like almost no one has even seen this movie. An ex-partner of mine rented it from RedBox one night. I thought it looked dumb, but I watched it anyway. It is rather dumb, but it's also amazing. An incredibly dark comedy. My love of that movie has long outlasted that relationship.
Matt Lucas, James Marsden, Peter Stormare, Dolph Lundgren, Johnny Knoxville, James Caan, Billy Crystal, Juno Temple, Rebel Wilson, Saffron Burrows, Rosie Perez, and Amanda Plummer; An amazing, eclectic cast who deliver an idiosyncratic script expertly, managing to give us an ought-to-be cult classic that's more than the sum of its parts.
Wow! Companies could sure save a lot of money if they lobbied for single-payer! I wonder why they don't! 🤔
No thank you. I don't like to engage too much with people who can't be bothered to proof-read their own posts.
Nor do I enjoy discussions with people who are so assured of their own self-righteousness that they ignore documented facts in lieu of their own personal opinions.
It just so happens that I also don't much enjoy arguing with people who have a documented public history of arguing in bad faith.
That's exactly what this is.
- Make some piece of mass media.
- Use it to drive outrage and division.
- Make mass media headlines about outrage and division.
- Profit.
Consume, consumer!
You caught me. I still daily drive Chrome. I am an on-again off-again Firefox user and have been for nearly 2 decades.
That said, I appreciate that input. I've been working on switching over to using Firefox as my daily driver, but it's going to take some time for me to fully transition, unless you know of an extension or script that can migrate all my chrome tabs over to Firefox. I'm curious to see if it can handle my full browsing habits, now that they've evolved into what most would consider "tab hoarder" behavior.
Understandable.
Well, at least you acknowledge it. That's a start. You're more self-aware than the bulk of the 'righteous crusaders of truth™' that I've encountered.
Just for fun, because I'm bored, what facts have I ignored so far in our conversation? Remember, I'm @LengAwaits. Don't get me confused with the other people you've been talking to. I'm a different person who hasn't weighed in on any of your supposed "facts" so far. I'm not here to argue about popular political figures. I'm only here to call out glaring biases and bad faith arguments. Surely you'll engage with me on a more intellectual level than what you've so far managed to muster?

So, the Amazon & Walmart strategy?
People who twist words around to intentionally misrepresent their conversational partners are neither arguing in good faith, nor are they good people, generally. Your parents should have taught you this. Do better.
Bad Faith Arguments:
It means that you're not arguing to come to a mutual understanding. In a true debate/argument, both sides must be willing to acknowledge if the other side has good points and be open to changing their minds. If you tell someone you want a "debate" but you really just want to antagonize them or preach to them, you are lying when you say you want to "argue".
Bad faith generally is an intent to deceive.
Here are some resources:
- Identifying fallacies.
- List and description of various fallacies. (You may want to pay particular attention to the Straw Man section)
- How to have better arguments
You can do better if you decide to. The first step to being better is learning how to converse and debate like a mature adult. You will continue to be labeled a troll if you decide you'd rather just keep acting like an uneducated, petulant child.
I love how anyone with
half a fucking brainpoor conversational skills and an inability to see things from someone else's perspective gets down voted.
Try talking to people online as though they were in the same room as you, IRL. If you're already doing that, I have to ask, how many offline friends do you have?
Nothing at all?

Perhaps this means you’ve been called to spread the good news of the St. Paul Sandwich to other states…
You're absolutely right, and it's exactly why I'm here preaching! I don't yet preach the gospel of St. Paul (the sandwich) to every single person I meet, but I'm working up to it.
I think what's so maddening about the situation is that you can get egg foo young at nearly every Chinese take-out joint in the US, but only in Missouri are they willing to slap it on some cheap white bread for you. The best part is, it's an incredibly cheap meal, that isn't completely bereft of nutrition. When I lived in Missouri you could get a St. Paul sandwich for like... $2. It was always one of the cheapest things on the menu, and it saved my then-broke, kitchen-less ass more than once!
These days I just take the necessary ingredients to the restaurant with me, order the egg foo young, then assemble the sandwich right there on the takeout counter, while maintaining eye contact with the nearest employee. I think they're getting the message.
I'm not sure about that, as I've seen conflicting information. Medicare has existed for around 60 years, and not only have patients been more satisfied with their care on average than people with private insurance, the costs have also been lower than private insurance overall. Couple those factors with metrics from the most recent study I was able to find on the cost of single payer, and the picture seems a bit muddier than you're presenting it.
Is it really as critical of capital as The Lego Movie was? I haven't seen it yet, though I intend to.
Fox Business, among other right-wing news outlets, were foaming at the mouth about how The Lego Movie was anti-capitalist. Search up "Lego movie anti capitalist" on your preferred search engine to see what I mean.
I don't have a position on cell phone interfaces and hadn't planed to give one. No skin in this game, really, though it's clearly a contentious issue!
I just can't help but notice when people are being terrible conversation partners, mostly. Me finding you to be an asshole has nothing to do with how I feel about cell phone ports.
Anyone fucking stupid enough to think the 3.5mm Jack is a good thing deserves the disappointment they feel every time a device doesn’t have own, tbh, bring it on themselves
Are you 12?
Please forgive my ignorance on the topic. You seem to know a lot about it. Are you saying that they save more money than the insurance costs them?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha,
