Why would anything socially progressive organize on Facebook? Most normal people I know have abandoned that platform, let alone anyone privacy-minded or anti-oligarch.

That you'd be a bad teammate: the kind of person who puts personal preference above what the group has decided and causes problems for no good reason; the kind of person who would insist on indenting with spaces when the whole team has decided to use tabs.

Me too; that's why I use a password manager: I can be super lazy.

Interesting; I'm running Ublock and it didn't hide it for me. Maybe mobile vs desktop? Thanks for the archive link!

Edit: super weird, the subscription pop-up still shows up on the archive site.

Snow Crash is almost kinda satire, but also not. Also, I believe, the first use of the term "metaverae". It's a fun read.

All that does is compel the recipient to stop what they're doing and wait until you send the message, which, if you're typing up a wall of text, could be minutes. This is like calling someone on the phone and, when they answer, saying "hello please hold". Don't do it; it's super rude.

Going to the Labor board, at least here in Oregon, is pretty painless and may be doable while still working there. My only experience with them was after an employer just locked us all out of the building and closed one day, so continuing to work wasn't an option for me. They treated me well and got me money quickly, then took the guy to court to get it back themselves.

Also, I don't "keep talking" about much here; the comment you replied to was the first one I made :).

If you get fired for that, you should take them to your state's Labor board and/or to court.
