WTF? Seatbelt use is down?? I'd be really curious to see a Venn diagram plotting anti-maskers with the mind-numbingly stupid people who would voluntarily choose not to wear a seatbelt in the face of decades of science and societal pressure.

Seriously, hearing that seatbelt use it down to me is as shocking as when I was watching "Anchorman" and they were walking in the park and just dropped all their trash on the ground. Except that movie was parodying the way people used to think in the 70's. This is real life.

Windows was still DOS under the hood for a long time. Win 98 was Win 95. Win 8 was Win 7. This is nothing new for MS.

Linux noobie here. Any tips on what to search for for instructions on how to do this? Bonus points if it has a GUI and is easy to use.

I'm tentatively interested, but I can't remember the last open world game I played that wasn't just a reskin of something I've already played before. Sure, a game doesn't have to be innovative to be fun. But it sure helps. Especially in a genre that can feel like doing chores, rather than playing, if it's not done well.

Not sure if iOS lets you use the "Private DNS" feature, but using an adblocking DNS is the way to go on Android.

(Looking at that page, it does have iOS instructions available, so I'm guessing yes.)

Weird how reading the article will sometimes give more information than just reading the headline, isn't it?

To be fair, last I checked, commondreams was so far to the left, they fell right off the flat earth. I consider myself pretty progressive and a lot of the stuff I saw from that site made me roll my eyes and go "this is where people get those crazy ideas about progressives having crazy ideas!"

Anyways, it's been a few years since I paid any attention to them so maybe they're not so cringe anymore.

It's very frustrating to feel like I'm back to where were were before the streaming revolution: paying HUGE amounts of money to get TONS of content I'm mostly not interested in.

The only saving grace is that I can get it all without ads still, so I'll take that win.

In the article, they talk about the bundling of services as a bad thing, but I feel like if I'm going to pay for everything anyways, I'll happily take that huge discount, TYVM.

Uh, no? Netflix used to have everything good. You could drop your $150/mo cable sub and get $10/mo Netflix and never look back.

I mean, it was a fun gag, but I really AM excited about glorbo!

League was the poster child for toxic communities a decade or so ago when I played. It must have gotten better (it certainly couldn't have gotten worse!) if this isn't the top comment by a mile.

You are smart.
