The best work schedule I ever had was a Navy watch schedule that was 4x12', 3 days off, 3x 12', 4 days off before a switch to night schedule. Aside from switching from days to nights every 2 weeks, I absolutely loved it.

If people give me shit about my Android phone, I point out that their phone can fold exactly once before they'll need a new one. Android is still the only option for power users.

This lawsuit is not going anywhere because of Section 230.

Google Photos nags me to let it clean them up and I usually let it 🤷

While I agree with everything you've said, it's also fair to acknowledge that losing one's job unexpectedly is a disruptive life change that not everyone is adequately prepared for financially or emotionally and we can empathize with them.

Edit, seriously what have I said here that's downvote worthy?

AFAIK, LLC's weren't really a thing in California in 1976.

Am I the only one who thinks it's crazy that the only grounds they have are that HP didn't disclose that their All-In-Ones won't let you scan or fax without ink and not, you know, the fact that they do that in the first place? It should be illegal to disable critical functions of a device simply because an unrelated function is temporarily unavailable. There's no technical reason HP is doing this other than, "fuck you, buy more ink."

It does not matter how many people are on your instance. The only things that matter are that your instance hasn't been defederated from other instances with communities you'd want to participate in, that it is kept up to date and online, and that your instance owner/operators stay on top of moderation. I've not heard of any problems along these lines with lemm.ee

Not sure if that really fits because I don't recall any other prominent Republicans having issues with handling classified information/documents at the time.

And Hillary definitely did mishandle classified information (whether it was marked as such or not) and sent it on an insecure personal email server instead of via SIPR or Top Secret channels. Trump, it turns out, did much worse during his presidency and was non-cooperative during his investigation. Biden also appears to have mishandled classified documents, but was at least cooperative with his investigation. This shouldn't be a partisan issue, we should be holding all the careless/negligent old boomers we keep electing accountable for mishandling classified information/documents. We should be holding them to at least the same standard we hold service members and government employees/contractors to and not giving them a free pass.

There's nothing that's going to convince me that Democrats' pushing onward with Hillary as a candidate instead of choosing Bernie, while downplaying her perfectly legitimate email scandal along with the DNC's own fuckery helping her cheat during the primary debates, wasn't responsible for her losing the presidency and giving us the nightmare of a Trump presidency instead. The timing of Jim Comey's investigation concluding sucked, but she shouldn't have done what she did and it's entirely her fault.

But yeah, I guess we can still mock GOP whataboutism with the "buttery males" thing if it keeps making us feel better.

I don't understand how Apple still has such massive foreheads and cutouts on the top of their screen. How do people know at a glance which apps have unread notifications?
