Just tell me what I owe or what my refund is (or since I use a standard deduction, just take out the right amount to begin with) and allow me to contest it if I disagree.

You are using a social network on some random dude's server.

Love the double standard. When you do this as a passenger to get a cheaper fare the airliner will ban you for life.

I was just at an airport that was doing this. I entered my ID into a slot and they scanned my face. There was a sign that said that the face scan would be immediately deleted, but I don't believe it. I didn't really want to be face scanned but I also didn't want to make a scene.

Didn't even need to click to know it was NH. They recently tweeted out the 14 words only changing "white" to "Libertarian." NH Libertarian party are unabashedly Nazis.

Also how do they find the poop so quickly. My dog poops and in the 5 seconds I go to pick it up there's like 7 flies on it.

Straight to horny jail

This all just makes him seem naive and unprepared for the position he was in.

I'm having trouble conceptualizing what this would look like. Is it a giant monitor that can also be a laptop? Aren't all laptops/notebooks by definition foldable anyway?

Windows is constantly nagging you to switch to Edge when you use a non-Edge browser but apparently Nadella is totally cool with that.

Cause a lot of indie devs are also idiots when it comes to business decisions. Many (especially solo devs) didn't get into the industry to make boatloads of money; they are often creative types who are passionate about their work.

I'd like to know why the fuck Americans are traveling to Paris to go to Disneyland. We have two perfectly good Disney theme parks in the US. Why not go to France and enjoy French things??

Edit: OP is an idiot. Another commenter determined that less than 10% of visitors to Disneyland France are American.

I'm willing to bet that the people who switch to Firefox for ad-blockers and ad-free YouTube aren't the kinds of people who are donating much to Mozilla. People in online forums talk a big game about wanting to pay for products and not be the product. But it seems like people don't really want to pay any meaningful amount of money for a browser.

My comment was tongue in cheek and a joke. You missed the joke. I agree with you that Gore should have won.

The discussion is in the comments. It's even a meme that no one reads the article before commenting.

What's dumb is that if someone wanted to troll them they could just make an account on any number of smaller instances that they federate with. I mean, eventually they will have to be completely siloed off to prevent outside trolling.

I would like them to be required to prominently display their power consumption. I feel like every other household appliance I own makes their energy consumption fairly clear, but I have no idea what kind of energy my fans use. Like it's probably more efficient to turn on every fan in my house all day rather than turn on my AC, but I have no idea if that's true.

That whole thing turned out to be a nothingburger. The report said that if you drink like 9 cans of diet soda it could possibly cause cancer. If you're drinking 9 cans of diet soda a day aspartame is the least of your problems.

Tbf, there are American beaches known for being drivable. Specifically, Daytona Beach.

I really wish there was a campaign to take back the flag before it goes the way of the swastika. Although, Gadsen himself was a terrible racist and heavily involved in the slave trade, so might be tough to claim the flag with his name attached to it.

Wrong. If you only counted the votes for Bush, Gore would lose.

This is not some hypothetical, there is precedent for booby traps being murder. It's a common line of cases taught in law school.

Paul Ryan was literally the speaker candidate that was chosen to appease the Freedumb Caucus (McCarthy was the original choice lol). Ryan is probably the biggest reason someone like Trump came into power.

It's kind of conflicting because I hate him, but I also love how much the Republicans (especially McCarthy) hate him.

Ironically, it's going to be a bunch of "libertarian" tech bros who use crypto for "privacy" who will be the first to give Musk (and by proxy every world government) their ID.

If all taxpayers can vote then a lot of young people who can't currently vote would become eligible. Also, so would most non-citizens, including undocumented immigrants. What conservatives don't realize is that most undocumented immigrants pay taxes (and generally get back less than they pay).

Half our country thinks that would be the mark of the Beast or some shit.

A racist is worse. A true misanthrope would just be a recluse and not bother anyone else.

While what you say is generally true, I would add that many diseases were "rare" in pre-modern times because they were not easily diagnosis at the time or because people were killed earlier by something else that is now treatable.

I quit smoking almost a decade ago. But I feel like if I was still smoking this would only make me want to smoke more. Watching the warnings slowly burn away would be relaxing.

Big Calendar would never allow for this. Imagine only ever having to buy one calendar!

I don't know why it bothers me so much given that every GOP candidate is scum. But it especially irks me that Doug Burgum can get a spot in the debates by giving away $20 gift cards to those who donated $1.

They did until he went after Disney.

Modi is a piece of shit who uses stochastic terrorism to promote mob justice and violence against the minority Muslim, Christian, Sikh, and Buddhist communities.

Yeah, but I was very caught off guard and they didn't advertise that as an option.

Tbf, I think he has wanted to have an everything app going back to his PayPal days. I still think it's a stupid idea for the American market.

Reddit has toxic positivity with regards to Starfield. I find the comments I've read here so far to be a much more measured take. Basically that it's a good game but it has a few minor issues that make it not live up to what was advertised.

If anything this is just going to make them an even larger target for trolling. I don't have a good solution for what they should do. But it seems that fediverse is antithetical to their goals.

I don't need my AI to be such a nanny. Give me the dangerous information ChatGPT!
