I work with people. Human mistakes are inevitable

That would also be great, but there’s a lot more convincing required for that, hence how we reached this instead.

Improving roads has secondary effects. First is people must be paid to do the work, meaning money in laborers pockets, though I’m sure execs are also lining their pockets…

Second, goods and services use roads, notably highways and interstates.

Third, better roads do allow cities that are reasonably close together to benefit from each other. Smaller cities with less jobs can have people commute to wherever the jobs are, typically in larger cities.

I agree that the states are too dependent on vehicle infrastructure, but we definitely still need it.

Yes. I’m aware that this conflict is technically over a decade long and there’s huge amounts of propaganda from both sides trying to portray themselves and the hero/victim.

I am certainly always open to learning more than I have access to though.

Yes. We should care. Russia is the aggressor here. They deserve to at least be condemned.

I’m not saying Ukraine is perfect and I’m sure my world view is altered by propaganda in some way, but at its base, Russia invaded Ukraine and if Russia is committing war crimes, they should not be supported.

If Russia had never invaded, that soldier could instead be at home with family or friends, alive.

I can understand that. Given even edge runs a modified chromium if I recall correctly, everything is being developed for that. I use edge since its built in when sites aren’t working, which isn’t often for me. That said, on my work laptop, I use exclusively edge.

What’s wrong with Firefox? They’ve been around a long time and are currently in a good spot as far as speed/compatibility goes

Make it your wallpaper

Maybe, but it’s still widely used and someone has to do it.

Yeah Firefox definitely had issues but right now I think it’s the best browser available.

Anything with your name on it should be very controlled and curated. Anything you said 10 years ago can and likely will be used against you.

A bad battery

Unlock can read the code being sent to your browser and act accordingly. It’s much more granular.

Pihole can only see you’re going to YouTube.com. It cannot see what YouTube is sending you.

Not my boss. He’ll be on a teams call while driving to the office. I don’t get it.

It’s definitely not just Muslims.

Not sure if you’re saying you got it.

Many are just trying to make the best out of what we have and it often feels like we have such little impact on these things happening across the country, let along in other parts of the world. The world population approaches 8 billion. Our impact is often meaningful in some way, but incredibly limited overall.

How can someone truly help with something across the world, like Ukraine/Russia and now Israel/Gaza, when conflict is constant and many also have to simply survive, in the face of entities that are capable of spending trillions of dollars.

I really don’t understand how the Wagner group can exist. Like what are you fighting for? It doesn’t seem worth it.

Unfortunately it’s used a lot. Having the “perfect” height is a thing for girls, sports, even business to an extent. It’s bull. But I can definitely sympathize with people that choose to try to add inches.

But yes, it’s definitely overrated.
