Sure, I just can't help but imagine how I personally would react if this became common for all patients.

However, Reddit executives have noticed that traffic coming from Google has limited value, as users seeking answers to a specific question often don't convert into becoming active Redditors, the people said. Now, Reddit is engaging with product teams at Google in hopes of finding ways to send more of its users deeper into its ecosystem of community forums, according to the executives.

What does this even mean (I'm afraid to know their suggestions)? So I check reddit for an answer if web search is failing me, and they're going to somehow trap me there? Tease an answer and not show anything until I sign in? Idk but sounds like I'll be using "-site:reddit.com" more and more, or realizing I dont care enough to get the answer!

I think I would be offended if some robot came up to try and provide emotional support. Its fake, and reminds me that our society values profit over human life. This should not be normalized as a necessity due to missing money that is going to the pockets of administrators, owners, insurance, and whoever else...this is pathetic.

Nothing in the image itself, but someone else posted this link: https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/19/tear-gas-protesters-broadview-ice/

Curtis Evans, of Evanston, carries a U.S. flag through gas deployed by federal officers as they clear protesters from the entrance of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview on Sept. 19, 2025. Evans said he was a Marine during President Ronald Reagan’s term. (Stacey Wescott/Chicago Tribune)

I turned off copilot in the outlook settings and the UI refuses to remove the icon. The icon flashes in full color, next to other things I use, before then going grey/disabled, but its impossible to remove it. So it shoves it in your face every day even after you already learned how much it sucks. Fucking worthless software and UI design going on at Microsoft.

How can you tell? Just curious as a Marine veteran. We used to do jumping jacks and pushups in the gas room until the last man couldn't take it anymore. Those were the days!

Edit: Oops nm, I found the source on this guy.

My experience exactly, from the last 3 companies ive worked for! And now there are no job advancement options internally because the openings have moved to India.

How does this destroy android, exactly?

I pay extra for paramount+ ad free version and they still show me periodic ads. Its infuriating. And they are much louder than the show content, as a cherry on top. What an awful service.

Do you think a background check and red flag law would have changed the outcome in this case? What evidence is there that it would?

The number of times I have canceled plans last minute because of this embarrassment is too damn high!
