Oh man. What a shit show honestly.
I’m a strong supporter of paying for things but this is not the way.

Maybe a call centre operated by map producers, intended more for questions about routes and conditions rather than “take the third left” kind of navigation.
Maaaaaybe. I think the actual advantages over other methods are fairly intangible.
If “surfing the web” required making many very small anonymous payments every hour then yeah, there’s advantages. I’ll admit that doesn’t actually sound terrible - I’d rather pay a few cents to read articles than the current advertising & subscription model.
As a solution for mozilla in isolation though, it would be an over engineered solution with too much baggage. Current mozilla users might have the aptitude for something like this but Mozilla wants to seduce a larger market share which is not people like us.
I would but no one would be interested
There are 2 important factors.
Very few people are doing their research and making a logical decision about who will best represent their interests. They will just vote for whoever their friends vote for.
The way the president is elected through the electoral college means that a few states are over represented. IDK the numbers but for example, it might be possible to become president with as few as 40% of the votes.
This was always the conspiracy. I don’t really buy it though. Having firefox’ user base default to Google search is worth something.
Because crypto just has such a stink on it.
It may well be a reasonable solution for this specific problem, but still… no one is going to get behind this.
That’s not really true.
For a lot of people who are suicidal, a psych ward is precisely the right place for them. There are appropriately trained people to develop a treatment plan, and appropriate facilities to prevent a suicidal person from harming themselves.
I absolutely acknowledge that being taken to a psych ward against your will is going to be traumatic for anyone. I also acknowledge that in some cases the patient might end up feeling worse than they did before they went.
However, I’m certain that you can acknowledge that taking someone to a psych ward against their will is often the only way to prevent them harming themselves.
Sorry mate, this is just plain wrong.
People are there because they have complex medical conditions which require specialist personnel and facilities.
Yes it can be scary and expensive, but it’s the best way to manage a shit situation.
You’re right to be skeptical, just this particular grift isn’t as obvious as it seems.
What you’re describing just isn’t compliant with tax law in any jurisdiction I’m aware of.
Corporations are legal entities, but they do not have the same rights as people.
Any commentary I’ve heard is talking about Pennsylvania. It’s critically important to a win, and fracking is critically important to voters there.
That said, can’t it be both?
I’m sure both campaigns have accepted donations from loads of shady industries. Crypto is a salient example.
Money wins elections, and the race being as close as it is I don’t care where the dems are getting their money from.
I find myself saying this a lot, but if the left was going to win a convincing victory, they would have some scope for more progressive policy. There isn’t any room, and they don’t have that mandate.
I’ve never queried my parents intentions or motivations.
They weren’t great parents nor were they terrible. I think they did their best given their resources, knowledge, and societal norms.
I have however managed various mental health issues most of my adult life, and I know that most issues which make me miserable, would not make me miserable if I were not already miserable. For example, when I’m stressed and miserable I tend to get fixated on things happening at work and stress about them a lot more than is really warranted.
I can’t say I can relate to how OP feels, but I feel as though, if my dad told me I was an accident and unwanted or whatever that might change how I feel about him, but it wouldn’t really change how I feel about me.
For any person alive today, if you followed your ancestry back even just a handful of generations I’m sure there are unwanted pregnancies.
Almost half.
The sad reality is, enough Americans are happy for him to do all of these things with impunity.
What is the point of locking someone up if half the country wants them to be president?
LOL. She needs Pennsylvania. That’s it.
This is really reductive and doesn’t really consider how complex these situations can be.
What should police or first responders do when someone is at risk of harming themselves or others?
Whatever your answer, consider that the person is already having a bad day, and there are no on the spot cures for what ails them.
Hospitals in general are not nice places to be, as a patient. If you’re there for a physical illness it’s still traumatic.
You don’t go there to have a nice time, you go there to avoid the worst outcomes, like death.
I am certain that there are very, very few instances where people end up in a psych ward when there’s better places for them.
Yeah but that horror story is the same in Australia and there’s no bill.
I think you may have misunderstood.
If you’re a 22yo “influencer” and your target market is people who follow 22yo influencers then it will be difficult to generate engagement when you’re 27.
That doesn’t seem that controversial to me, and I don’t see how octogenarians getting laid at the supermarket is relevant?
