Curious, why do you remember day 1 for you?

I don't know mine. I do remember sitting in my kitchen at the family computer listening to the modem connect via an AOL disc though. Sometime in the late 90s if I had to guess.

Apparently in 1998 half of all cds produced worldwide had an AOL logo on them. Wild.

I'm nearly at 7 with my employer and I've found the situation to be quite good and I see no sign yet to jump ship. There's still good gigs out there.

I'm sure the person you are responding to had good reason to stick around 20 years. It's possible only recently did the math not work out for them.

So what, we should eat shit and die and suffer and not be excited about things that feel like small victories?

The pov you're providing is bleak and grim. We aren't dumb, we know we're fucked and our election sucks. We can focus on multiple things at a time and we can laugh at our political idiots while also being mad at them.

Yeah, is almost like shaming people for driving smaller vehicles is dumb. Turns out there are a lot of different needs.

The feline investigation bureau?

This will just push websites to change the orders and names of their query params (maybe regularly).

I don't think one can safely omit all query params from all sites and expect a decent experience across all websites.

You are fighting a good fight, I salute you, but query params (the part of the url where the identifiers are included) are a valid and core part of Internet addresses. Trying to strip them away universally will only work for so long.

I think that's why you haven't found a tool that meets all your needs yet, because many sites have legitimate uses for those params that don't include tracking. You'll probably need tools designed specifically for Amazon and other specific websites/services.

Smells a lot like "Funding secured" or any of the other insane promises he's made.

There's the hyper loop, the cyber truck missing deadlines and quality concerns and range lies, all of the Tesla delays, etc

That said they did FDA approval for human trials last May https://www.reuters.com/science/elon-musks-neuralink-gets-us-fda-approval-human-clinical-study-brain-implants-2023-05-25/

Some people just don't want to climb the ladder anymore. I'm not soft resigning or quiet quitting by doing exactly my job description and nothing more - I'm settling and content.

I wish this wasn't such a foreign or bad concept to those in business.

People in the real world like to rub their parts together and don't concern themselves with these labels.

Yes these labels are meaningful and can help you define who you are and what you want but don't let them get in the way of finding someone who wants to consensually rub parts. It's really just an Internet thing and niche sex culture.

It's all about context though. $2000 is substantial to much of the people who live on this planet. You're right about that amount in investment returns would be considered small, but the people who this amount is significant don't usually have investments to rely on.

No. They are back to their regularly scheduled programming. Their recent apology videos aren't even in their top25 most viewed
