Yeah, it's pretty unfortunate how much we've convinced ourselves to ignore reality when it doesn't align with our ideals.

Sovereign nations only focus on problems that affect their ruling class.

There is no excuse for starvation to be happening with so many resources and knowledge at our disposal.

We should be ashamed of ourselves as a species.

Chrome's ubiquity is bad for browsers.

I'm glad I switched back to Firefox after learning that Google removed AdNauseam from their addon store. It's an app that clicks ads in addition to blocking them. It wasn't breaking any rules, but google removed it and since there wasn't sufficient backlash it was never restored.

That kind of scummy behavior should never be rewarded with continued patronage.

Sigh. We can't meet energy demands if we only focus on the cheapest energy sources.

Like it or not, energy is priced based on how difficult it is to deliver to the recipient.

It's not about "supporting Javascript."

If a webpage does not require javascript to function, then it should not have javascript on it.

News articles do not require javascript to function.

If people really care about protecting the children, we can always raise taxes on the wealthy/cut military spending to fund new task forces to combat the production and spread of child pornography!

Heck, the money spent on this lawsuit could be spent catching people producing CSAM instead.

No. Most sites don't offer their own ways to download videos.

If you want to save videos, you can always use a browser addon. I use VideoDownloadHelper for Firefox and it allows me to download any video, even on Linux.

Yes, the issue is the low standards.

She looks like an awful person who only has power because she looks out for rich people.

Emulation, baby.

Use your brains before your wallets.

Also don't pay for things you can get for free.

Fixing this problem requires something that won’t occur in our lifetimes.

Hard, sad truths.
