The pot in my ass

Maybe, but at least some folks have less of it. Me, for example. On Reddit, I generally assumed most folks were from the US, or bots. On here, I generally assume folks are equally--if not more--likely to be from a country in Europe, or Canada. I also see way more German representation here than I did on Reddit.

I don't internet without uBlock. I honestly couldn't imagine it any other way.

Same. I still occasionally browse Reddit, but I have a rule that I don't post or comment there. I do post and comment here.

 

This pauses disbursement of all federal loans and prohibits new scientific grant funding indefinitely. As written, this appears to apply to student loans, as those are disbursed via universities--not directly from the Dept of Education. It explicitly requires cancellation of awarded scientific grant funding that is in conflict with the current administration.

Yeah, I understood. My reply wasn't actually directed at you; sorry for not being clear. I just wanted to add that bit in case other readers didn't know that this was more forceful than a request.

They weren't asked, they were mandated to do so directly by executive order. I get the desire to not comply, here, but if I'm NIH, I'm probably thinking that complying to keep the doors open for four years will do a hell of a lot more for the country than if they refuse and Trump totally dismantles their entire architecture with enough time that it's difficult to reinstitute when he's gone.

Just as an aside, I hadn't heard of that cursor feature before, and this is wonderful. Thanks for drawing my attention to it. I have to keep my work phone loaded with all the Google/MS spyware, so I still use Gboard on that phone. This will make typing work emails a lot easier.
