Maybe stop posting stories from owner-class media then.

I'm certainly not always PC or as nice as I should be, but I did get one of my comments removed for calling someone a Negative Nancy, which is against one of the politics rules, I think for name calling. Another one was removed for calling someone a Russian. It's a little heavy handed and it makes calling out trolls and people spreading misinformation, but I do what I can.

So two of the most popular if not the top two most used Linux distros, are bad and not fine? Odd that such a large amount of users would continue to use something so unstable. Maybe it wasn't the distro's fault?

I think Whitmer is currently in a much better position to affect change. Moving to VP would take her from Michigan and then basically take away any power she has. Obviously depending on her future ambitions, VP looks pretty good on a resume, but she can make a much bigger difference right now and for another 4+ where she's at. I do wonder given the current political landscape, how many people that would normally be turned off by women in the office would look past it. And if those that can't, how many were going to vote Democrat to begin with?

I agree that being weird isn't a bad thing, but to someone with a complex like "Couch Fucker ~~JD~~ KY Jelly Vance" calling him weird is like poison. I'd like to think most of us that have weird tendencies or are socially nontypical can see the difference between weird and weird. Vance is weird.

No. I'm saying the vast majority of reps didn't repeatedly give him a standing ovation. It's a shit article written poorly and sensationally.

It is easily the most important feature on my phone. The call screening and spam blocking is unparalleled. I don't think I have had anything blocked that shouldn't be, and it maybe messes up 5 or less times a year.

A majority is greater than 50%. A vast majority would mean significantly more than 50%.

We have differing definitions of what "vast majority" means. Dumb AF article.

I would but wouldn't. Not a good look, but I'd still chuckle.

There are tons of small devices that don't have to be connected to be useful. Lots of personal items or small sensors.

This is a tough area for me. I think someone should be able to make a living researching and creating drugs. If that's all a company does they have to make money somehow. Admittedly, I have not put much thought past that, so there may be a simple solution. Research grants and other funding can pay salaries for a time, but that's a static income. Idk, I'm interested in how this would work without some amount of markup.

Unless profits means everything past salaries and stuff, then I do mostly agree. However I think there has to be allowance for cash on hand and further investment in infrastructure and all those other fun things needed to run and grow a business.
