I'm genuinely glad we live in a country that recognizes the horrors of its past. Even with all of the "whitewashing" that occurs in textbooks in parts of the country, like "states' rights" in the Civil War and praising Columbus, there's still an overwhelming consensus that minorities were wronged for our entire history.

Children deserve privacy like the rest of us do.

I don't find it surprising given that the vast majority of people don't research the claims that other people make. For example, during the GameStop short squeeze, people came to the conclusion that corruption or collusion was at play, when in reality it wasn't for the most part.

People would rather listen to a guy who says something confidently than a guy who says "I don't know." The former gets to spread their word, and the latter gets ignored.

I genuinely wonder why MS hasn't added FTP to Windows Explorer in all these years. It would've fixed so many issues

Eh, that would disincentivize long-term updates.

Instead, 5 or 10 years of inactivity should be more than enough leeway.

If you read any of his memoirs or interviews, you'd know that his intended destination was Ecuador, and he couldn't fly out of Russia due to his passport being revoked. He lived in the Russian airport until he was granted asylum, so it's not like he had much choice.

I didn't see any sources that went against those claims except from WikiLeaks, so I don't see much of a reason to discredit them.

Surprised how nobody mentioned "Everytime We Touch" by Cascada

Not OP, but the tools provided by my OEM of choice are already really good, so it's something I'm glad exists but isn't useful to me.

It very much is still a problem. It's unrealistic to expect the majority of YT users to use a tool like SponsorBlock.

Why would Apple make a tool for Xiaomi phones?

The problem is that people in this thread are in the mindset that tipping encourages lower wages, when in reality, low wages encourage tipping. The US has an absurdly low minimum wage relative to the cost of living, and that minimum wage of $7.25 has an exemption for tipped employees who can earn as little as $2.33 an hour. While it's true that many states have higher minimum wages than the federal wage, there are several that are the same as federal.

The problem with marketing is that conservatives will make a huge deal about it. It's better to keep things lesser known so that they actually happen.
