"fake" diversity with an obviously proprietary option is substantially better than a fake "open" environment where the only web browser options are either made by a single for-profit company, a reskinned derivative of that for-profit company's work, or a semi-not-for-profit whose main funding source is that same for-profit company.

In a very real way, web standards beyond "whatever chrome does" died when Microsoft tossed edge's HTML engine for chromium.

None. Modern smartphones have put periods in automatically for so long that anyone bitching about it is just abusively making shit up.

An ellipsis, on the other hand, is passive aggressive. It ... always... implies that something has been omitted. Such as the profanity in the prior sentence.

Honestly, WoT balefire scarring would be epic as fuck. You had a foot replaced when you were young by a wizard,.and in the future the jerk gets balefire'd so hard that his entire lifespan back to when you got your foot replaced is undone.

The charactes's foot appears as a ghostly flicking outline, like the false light if you stare at something too bright for too long. It can make a few marks, but is not solid enough to support the character.

This could just be a clever detail, or it could be a setup for an epic campaign.

This is a consequence of America wanting to pretend that the rest of the government has to be funded in accordance with the constitutional guard against a standing army.

The only thing that Congress does that has a constituonal time limit is fund the army.

A scroll and quill is a pretty good idea, but it'd be better as something more squarish than irregular, I think.

If you're covering for David Brooks, and we assume that Brooks is not himself a pedophile to be charitable, then you're covering for whatever unknown pedophile Brooks is covering for.

This isn't a court of law, it's an international private forum with no binding consequence on anybody's liberty. We don't have to presume people doing shady fuck are innocent, since we're not even accusing anyone of crimes.

Congress passed a law demanding disclosure of all files the government had about an infamous pedophile and child trafficer, with an explicit ban on redactions for embarrassed adults. Today they released a whole bunch of files, with essentially every adult in the pictures reacted.

Anyone who thinks this is a non-story is either a pedophile themselves or intentjonallh covering for child trafficing pediphiles. Especially if they are an old white guy who was definitely associated with the inhuman scum at the center.

We don't know if David Brooks is a pedophile himself, but he sure as fuck isnt a journalist.

For this post, 'cause it's the capitalization in the article

For the article, because either someone misunderstands the rules of capitalization in English or they are asserting Trump is equivalent to the God of Abraham.

The board is dominated by Trump, but not every last member. Key facts:

  • The name is set by Congress and, just like the DoD, cannot be actually changed without an act of Congress.
  • The board's vote was only "unanimous" because they muted everyone on their zoom call who spoke against the not-on-the-agenda bullshit.
  • Trump is a sex pest rapist who either sexually abused minors with his pal Epstein or did something worse.

If you think the "no kings" protests were ignored you weren't paying attention to how loudly the right wing bitched about them.

Heck, it can be argued that their scale was why senate Dems let the government shut down over the ACA subsidies -- and while I think how that shutdown ended was cowardly, it was also the most politically effective shutdown in US history. (There are multiple bills to extend those subsidies, and everyone knows which side is against them!)

Fight is steps 6 and 7.

A violent insurrection cannot be planned in advance, especially not on the internet, and will either be doomed to failure or will consist of extant political divisions and advocacy organizations militarizing or joining en masse.

(The only successful revolutions that weren't extant orgs going to war were either not violent or so massive that "the whole nation" was the org going to war.)

And OP asked for advice about their trans kid. Child soldiers are a fucking war crime.

Not to question anybody shitting on windows ME, but keyboard-only navigation is a core windows feature, since it's a consequence of accessibility

No extra software needed; installing the power toys just makes it easier and a little more discoverable.
