Good luck to them. If they go on strike, hopefully solidarity between them and the Writer's Guild will help boost morale.

Thanks, now I know how to feel greasy and salty.

It's extremely common, but there are still a few sites left that won't force you to log in. YouTube is one such example, though of course it has its own problems too.

Oh yeah, I haven't visited Twitter since they added this. I have an account, I just can't be bothered to log in.

Sometimes it's also that you can't ignore the argument, but you also don't want to participate, so the earbuds are a clear way to indicate to leave you out of it.

Thanks God, very cool!

Damn, why'd you go and cause all of climate change? Not cool.

I'm not surprised at all, income data is really useful when doing targeted advertising. This kind of sale should be illegal of course, because our tax data should be sensitive in the same legal or medical data is, but I don't think Meta's going to see any consequences for this.

Completely agreed. This type of stuff is very cool, but finding more organic material on Mars is not anything new. Even still, news is often how scientific agencies get funding so I understand writing up an article whenever they find things, even if those things are relatively banal.

It's because they claim that they don't actually do any deliveries, they just maintain the tech platform that connects independent contractors to delivery jobs. They do this for legal reasons, because if you think about it all jobs technically just connect people to tasks that they complete.

I mean, you're technically right but that also isn't a helpful mentality. No one individual can single-handedly stop climate change by living in a more environmentally conscious way, we have to come together and implement systemic solutions in order for things to change.

Thanks humanity, I'm sure that this will cause no long term issues and we can just keep using the same economic and political systems while not worrying about it at all.
