At the time, it wasn't this widely regarded as a power grab by conservative politicians in the Supreme Court. Not saying it wasn't, but it was not seen as such. It was nowhere near as brazen as what we're seeing today. Confidence was still quite high at the time or at least it returned quickly.

Stalling tactic from day 1. "We are doing humanitarian aid, look!" 🙄
Absolutely. I never cared for his political stuff. Get that shit out of here. Just geek out on historic stuff, but please no more misogynist social darwinist garbage...
Someone in Norway has the same name as me, and they made a PayPal account. They accidentally used my email during signup and I got some weird emails in Norwegian. So I called PayPal. I asked them to change the email. "You can't, because it's not your account, you just admitted". Uh, ok. Can you close the account? "It's not your account". Can you contact the account owner and tell them to fix it? "We don't have their email". Can I use account recovery and close it? "Then you would be breaking into someone else's account".
So what should I do? PayPal put a notice on the account in case they log in, and told me to just ignore the emails. I was baffled. Just ignore the emails? Stop sending them then! But there really isn't anything I can do. I tried account recovery anyway, but it didn't work.
They never logged in I think. They probably made another account with the correct details and never thought about this one. So I've been getting the "our terms and conditions have changed" email once or twice a year and ignoring them. They're still in Norwegian.
I just looked it up, this has been going on since 2015. Maybe I should contact PayPal again and tell them how ridiculous they've been.
All that hand wringing over what kind of protest should be ok, you guys are exhausting. The kind of protest doesn't make a difference at all. A lot of people will say it's unacceptable no matter what. I'll even admit sometimes a protest misses the mark, but I'm still glad they did it.

Not sure, I heard they're actually orcs
Accepted isn't the right word. I think consumers "voting with their feet" just isn't that relevant when it comes to these issues. This model of thinking works when it's about the product offering. Bad product? Too expensive? Demand dwindles.
But the issue doesn't directly impact the product offering, consumers won't "vote with their feet" in significant numbers. Worker exploitation? People will still buy cheaper clothes. Oil money dictatorships? Cheap luxury airlines. Privacy invasion? But all my friends are on there. I could go on.
The self-correcting market model is flawed. For these issues, strong government intervention is needed. It's possible that a competitor comes along and they're able to capture the market, but that will only happen with a superior product offering. But not because of different TOS or whatever people don't consider part of what they're buying.
What are the actual questions?
We won the war because our German scientists were smarter than their German scientists

How about awareness that climate change will ruin us all.
It checks out that the peak of optimism in your graph is around the 80's and 90's. We weren't just "optimistic" in the 90's. We were delusional. We were ignoring problems instead of solving them
I hope that's a joke or else I'm gonna be so mad
I wanted to know if it’s ever appropriate to walk away and not leave a tip?
“No,” Sokolosky said.
She said people are trying to make a living.
“I always feel grateful, frankly, that I can tip,” she said.

It doesn't matter. I get all my news here and I can comment if I want. That's enough
Exactly. This wasn't a protest as far as I'm concerned. They shut me out. So I no longer visit reddit or moderate any of my subreddits. It's that simple
Exactly. "That's not trauma, stop whining" doesn't help anyone and you have no fucking idea how it affects someone. "Suck it up" is such fucking boomer bullshit
Why not earlier? Wtf

Back when they implemented Real ID and forced people to provide real namr and identification for playing the games they paid for, these motherfuckers locked me out of my account for account sharing because someone logged in from another country. That was me, logging in for my lunch break at work, about 1 hour away from home. They demanded I not only gave them my real name, but even send a copy of my passport to them by email. Obviously I refused. I had the original box and the game code, but they didn't care. There were no other fraud indicators. Just me logging in from work and using a pseudonym. I never got any of my games back. Fuck them

You're wrong. Scientific consensus is that this will be catastrophic. We're still emitting more greenhouse gases year over year, and the rate at which global warming is happening is still increasing year over year. Anyone who says this will stop at 1.5 degrees, 2 degrees, 3 degrees, whatever, they're all wrong because no slowdown is happening at all. It's wishful thinking. Climate predictions are being broken all the time, never in a good way. And that's not taking into account any tipping points that suddenly speed up climate change, such as melting ice releasing trapped methane.
There is no reason to say it won't be that bad. It will
They're saying you should blame Israel for that, not random people trying to find out who's who
Maybe you just didn't recognize it. Reddit leftist spaces were famously led by tankie mods.
When are they rolling out that all websites that ignore this setting, receive a huge fine? Without that, this is nothing
No, only people against the occupation and against the genocide currently happening in Gaza. Pro-zionists like to paint everyone critical of Israel's atrocities as terrorism supporters and as antisemites. But nobody is saying October 7th wasn't horrible. Nobody is saying rape isn't horrible. Resistance to this brutal occupation is always going to be nasty. The Palestinians have no peaceful means to resolve the conflict. That doesn't make terrorism OK but it was inevitable given how Israel is oppressing the Palestinians

Quelle surprise!
Lawrence Krauss the sexual predator? That Lawrence Krauss who grooms his students? What a despicable human being
I don't give a damn what he achieved in his field, or his opinions on anything. Fuck that guy
Local ones. My town, my country,...
For all the flak it always gets, can I just say I'm relieved nobody said JIRA yet? I think JIRA is great for what to does, but companies are just bad at setting it up right. Either they go overboard with restrictive processes, or they are unorganized mess, there is no in between. But that's not the software's fault. (Braces for downvotes)
Bitte!
This shows it's not about Hamas. It was never about Hamas. There is no Hamas in the West Bank.
