Thank you!

Has Mozilla indicated any openness to taking that approach with Firefox?

The solutions look a lot different for the real loneliness epidemic than a “male loneliness epidemic”. You fix the first by creating more walkable cities, more third places you can be without needing to spend money, and giving people the time and money they need to go out, do things, and socialize.

The proposed solutions for the “male loneliness epidemic” seem to be a lot more like shitty men saying “women need to lower their standards and be okay with being my therapist/mom/girlfriend, while I change nothing about myself”

Littering, especially cigarette butts. Nothing sends me into a blind rage faster than seeing someone flick a cigarette butt out their car window. Not littering is SO easy, the bar is on the floor, and yet so many people just don’t care at all.

I’m glad that’s worked well for you! For the overwhelming majority, keeping their money in the 401k and continuing to make regular contributions, regardless of market volatility, is the wisest course of action.

To be fair, I don’t think being high around my coworkers sounds like a fun time. Drinking a few beers once a year at the Christmas party is more than enough for me

Fuck off, transphobe

Have you considered sending the journalist a message about this? I haven’t seen mention of it anywhere else

Exactly no one will think twice about seeing you playing a GameBoy ROM on your phone, you’re good

Accounting. The advice given to me when I went to college was “major in something ‘practical’ and minor in what you love”. I think that was good advice. That way you end up with in-demand skills and a solid fallback, but by doing minors and extra certificates, you get to spend time learning things you’re passionate about, and you can demonstrate to future employers that you are well-rounded and adaptable.

Cool, thanks!

Handed down or sold, most likely

We live in the dumbest fucking timeline

It’s easier for some people to submit to authority and believe that the immigrants, trans people, antifascists, etc are the cause of all their problems than it is for them to accept that the world is a flawed and complicated place with few clear answers. It’s a mental shortcut, with often disastrous consequences.

How does goose egg taste in comparison to chicken eggs?

I work in commercial and institutional building energy efficiency. I notice myself paying way more attention to the infrastructure that normally fades into the background. Stuff like “I wonder how big the transformer for this building is?” or “Ooh, that’s a hefty cooling tower, I wonder how much chilled water they use?”

Living in a Christian nationalist surveillance state sure is fun! 🙃

As I’ve begun moving my stuff away from Proton, I’ve adopted Tuta for email and Addy.io for aliases. It feels better to keep things in separate buckets.
