I've dodged nearly everything with only Firefox + Ublock + Ghostery. The most I ever got was maybe one warning page on YouTube and never seen anything about it again.

I will now ask women if they feel the "mittelschmerz" with no context. Thanks for letting me know.

And to add, they will only fight if they have an unfair advantage (more people, better weapons, etc). It's better to defend your own ground if necessary.

I replaced all my comments with the same phrase before deleting them with PowerDeleteSuite. The comments were fully restored and visible through a google search (but not visible through the user page). My posts were not restored, AFAIK.

This was during the whole 3rd party API thing. Maybe it was just something done during that time, but they certainly got around the edit replacement trick before.

The "holes" on her cheeks are easy to miss but seriously unsettling close up. They're not like freckles or blackheads but more like what termite tunnels look like in wood.

A lot of the shill marketing is very hard to prove. A lot of the dialogue gets mixed in with commentors that have genuine brand loyalty.

It's far too easy for a marketing team to acquire a high karma account and blend in. We'll never get a truly clear picture of how much Reddit is astroturfed.

Some chiropracters are more or less "bootleg" physical therapists that use the same treatment. Of course, there is no guarantee that a given chiropractor will use effective and proven treatments like a licensed PT practitioner.

Yea. It's a very detached and odd statement he said, but I'm still wondering why not many are drawing the line to that. For the record I doubt he can do much damage to these corporations himself.

The wrong people tend to kill themselves in general. Those who commit the worst acts usually have supremely high self-confidence and self-assurance.

I interpreted that as a veiled threat of reprisal against the companies boycotting it. Maybe that's a darker way of thinking about it, but I wouldn't be too surprised.

I seriously doubt it will ever pay out enough to be a primary retirement method, but there isn't enough evidence yet to say it's likely to be 100% gone either. As the fund stands now without any legislative input, it's set to run out after 2035 the earliest.

It would be a long and difficult road, but I think it's still possible to keep SS running and/or a meaningfully sufficient replacement. It's not as though the money required doesn't exist. It's just that oligarchs want to help as little as they can possibly get away with.

The moment we accept that terminating a fund that keeps people alive is tenable, they will be emboldened to do so. Personally I won't accept it. Hopefully this generation will have enough political power to keep it, but I'm not going to rely on SS to retire either.

Absolutely true. Best practice is to assume your Google Drive is effectively public regardless of permissions. It is very easy for a Drive to get hacked in my experience, not even considering the surveillance from Alphabet.
