They should just block UK traffic like the porn sites do. This is an excellent way to lose a resource the government regularly uses.

Girls have a super power they can use to live rent free in any guy's head pretty much eternally. All they need to do is catch them off guard with a compliment.

A guy will keep a shirt until it literally disintegrates if one time a girl said "that color looks good on you." Pretty much every guy that wears a particular cologne, wears that cologne because at some point a girl said he smelled nice. It's not even a horny brain thing I don't think. It's just that guys get so few compliments on their appearance that every single one is massively precious to them.

And this idiot's vote is dozens of times more powerful than that of any voter in any major city in the country.

This graph shows a disingenuous relationship between revenue and the market share of a free and open source project within the walls of a not-for-profit organization. Firefox is not a revenue stream in the traditional sense. In fact, most of Mozilla 's money comes from grants and donations for projects and research they do.

I get that CEO=EVIL is a viral topic these days but if all you know about Mozilla is that they make the Not Chrome browser, then you should really educate yourself on what it is that Mozilla actually does for the internet. Then you might feel a little better with this pay scale graph.

That all aside, this graph shows the market share of Mozilla when there were 5 browsers available to the vast majority of users, Internet Explorer, Firefox, chrome, Opera, and safari. It's also before chrome took over the market share from IE at the same time that it pushed out Firefox as the leading browser because chrome was available on the iPhone and was the default browser on Android devices. Hardly a surprise to see that when the internet exploded in users and literally every human being started to carry around a chrome device in their pockets that Mozilla Firefox's market share went down.

A terrorist is someone who enacts violence against civilians in order to create political change. Not saying Luigi deserves any of this, but if his goal was to make a point to the world about the mistreatment of patients at the hands of insurance companies in order to push change, then the terrorism charge is accurate.

What insurance companies do is far worse than terrorism. They harvest the sick, elderly, and injured for their money in order to sate the capitalist urge to increase revenue for the investors. But that isn't illegal.

I don't know if they changed toasters but they definitely changed building code at least in the US to require GFCI outlets in the bathroom that will shut off when a short is detected because of this.

You can also use steam as a distribution platform completely free of the 30% cut by selling steam keys through your own site. Steam specifically gives developers unlimited free steam keys and games no cut from the sale of said keys. And it's not even a work around, it is intentional.

Because democratic Texans have been convinced that their vote doesn't matter. However that couldn't be further from the truth. Ted Cruz would have lost his last election if something like 6% of registered Dems who did not vote, had voted. Also Greg Abbott would have lost if around a quarter of those registered, non-voting Dems had voted. The propaganda in TX is deeply ingrained in its residents. The state would have voted blue in the last presidential election. Trump won by 8% while over 20 million registered voters did not vote.

IF YOU LIVE IN TEXAS AND YOU ARE READING THIS PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS LIVING, VOTE.

here is a link to verify that you are registered (many residents believe they are registered but are in fact not)

https://www.texas.gov/living-in-texas/texas-voter-registration/

If you are not registered, register here:

https://vrapp.sos.state.tx.us/index.asp

Print out your registration and mail that fucker in today so you'll be ready for early voting in October

YES TEXAS HAS EARLY VOTING AND TIME OFF LAWS. THAT MEANS WORK CANNOT PREVENT YOU FROM TAKING TIME OFF TO GET TO THE VOTING BOOTHS.

Most of the right are the uneducated and poor voting to empower a system that already oppresses them. For many of them, it's not about what affects whom, it's about whose side is winning. The fact that a Republican changed sides at all is enough for me. I do not care why.

I had an employer who would tell us that we were committing "Time Theft" any time we were on the clock and not actively working on something at any moment of the day. When California DoL started cracking down on my city, my employer started complaining about government overreach and "State Sanctioned Time Theft" when he was required to give us 2x 15 min breaks on the clock on top of a whopping 30 minutes off the clock for lunch.

The issue is how to enforce granular rules like that. You'll end up with people buying time shares of airbnbs or some other wacky workaround. The issue ultimately is, if you leave any wiggle room, grifters will ruin it for the people using that wiggle room as intended. You can't put in a law and expect everyone to adhere to the spirit of said law. I think with the litany of other property value issues that NY has, this hard line in the sand makes sense. It sucks that the grifters ruined it for people like you and I but the fact of the matter is that they did.
