I kept my phone number from a different state so everyone that calls from that area code can be ignored. I also have AT&T's ActiveArmor app (free) and it blocks most of them. I used to get 2-4 a day but I'm down to 1ish a week now.

Answering vs not answering didn't really ever make a difference for me, but I've heard lots of things like don't answer and they'll think the line isn't real or answer but play the do Do DO sound effect or answer but leave it silent. Not sure if any will help.

Neat, I did not know that. I was just trying to make a funny since it looked like it said "oof-ed by GOD". Thanks for sharing!

I'll admit I did that. I voted for Bernie in the Primary and then didn't vote in the General. Although I lived in Oklahoma where Trump beat Clinton by 529k votes and hasn't been blue in the last 50 years...

I'd like to think I would have voted for Clinton if my vote counted for anything. If we got rid of the electoral college then I feel like the voting percentage would go up across the country as Republicans in California and Democrats in Alabama would suddenly have a reason to actually vote. I live in Alabama now and it is a STUGGLE to get any of my friends to take the time to go vote.

Minimizing to tray by default when you hit the x button.

Especially when there is no way to change the behavior.

Purely commenting on the TikTok and not the article:

"... career fair aimed at women and non-binary tech workers..." and then there's a TikTok that says "A conference for (wo)men by women" and "the allies are totally allying"

So do only female presenting nonbinary people count?

(I know if you read the article that it says there was an increase in the number of self identifying males but how would the TikToker know that? The TikToker is just looking at the crowd and assuming that the place is overrun with men without actually checking if they're NB.)

"But there are concerns that programs like this can incentivize spammy posting, or 'engagement bait.' "

The cryptocurrency subreddit started this a while back with their Moons and it completely changed how the whole subreddit worked. The monetary incentive seems to ruin any sort of natural engagement.

"Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, head of the California Labor Federation, said driverless trucks are dangerous..." Well are they dangerous? Is there any data to back up that claim? And is there data to back up the claim that keeping the driver in the vehicle makes it safe again?

I hate this "save the jobs" attitude. How about we not save the jobs and pay them to get other jobs or even pay them to stay home?

Personally, I don't think that anyone should have the ability to shut the government down. If congress doesn't want to pass a new funding bill then at the very least the current one should be "renewed".
