I’m surprised it gives you the choice instead of the usual Microsoft nag: Set Default or Later.

Democrats are at best a center party. There is no left parties in the USA to really pull back. And without reforms to the first past the post voting and campaign contribution system there won’t be.

Yeah, I keep wondering when I last used a plastic bag. These days it’s either prepackaged, directly in the shopping bag or a paper bag.

And sometimes you get so used to there being brightly colored ads,
corporate propagandamotivational messages and various warning signs everywhere, that you develop a blindness for everything too flashy and ignore it until you encounter a roadblock that doesn’t yield. - Comment on No looky for you! 4 weeks ago:
And it started leaking.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months' 5 weeks ago:
Players: it’s not unique enough and that makes it boring. It’s like they rushed this one with some standard stuff.

Remote desktop manager from devolutions.net at the moment. It’s what our admins recommend.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
And the thing figured as I was on a corporate network, so it locked itself down and needs settings done by the office 365 administrator. They checked and apparently you need some paid tool to get it working. We’re using an alternative now.

A tourist wanted since directions so he asked: "Sorry, do you speak American.’
My buddy who can be a purist: “I understand American but I speak English.”

Yeah, that one deserves the “instructions unclear” title.
- Comment on I am convinced the makers of those ads are on something strong and very illegal 1 month ago:
These ads always seem to me like someone was way too ambitious and made a feature length script with a full story and world building. That got cut up in just a few scenes that are filmed. The bosses said it’s still to long so those scenes got cut up in just a few fragments of a second each. In the end you get this fever dream kind of thing and nobody knows what’s happening.
- Comment on Viva la Revolucion (becomes cancer) 1 month ago:
We’re only pretending to be in control. It’s like being the spokesperson for an organisation trying to explain what all the different departments came up with. But on the other hand, if the spokesperson makes s compelling argument, the rest might fall in line.
- Comment on Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: "Working from home makes us happier." 1 month ago:
The assumption is that if you have time to be happy, you have time to work more so happiness needs to be stamped out to increase productivity. That’s of course a myth as data shows happy workers are more productive. The result is workers stuck in the twilight zone of not being happy and not getting more work done. It’s one of the business religious beliefs.

Had that yesterday.
“Must use special characters!”
“Okay, no problem. Here you go.”
“Not that one! It’s too special!”
“Dude, I haven’t even touched extended ASCII yet.”

Wikipedia:
The first volumes were much criticized because, although they were called “Children’s Tales”, they were not regarded as suitable for children, both for the scholarly information included and the subject matter.[3] Many changes through the editions – such as turning the wicked mother of the first edition in Snow White and Hansel and Gretel (shown in original Grimm stories as Hänsel und Grethel) to a stepmother, were probably made with an eye to such suitability. Jack Zipes believes that the Grimms made the change in later editions because they “held motherhood sacred”.[4]
They removed sexual references—such as Rapunzel’s innocently asking why her dress was getting tight around her belly, and thus naively revealing to the witch Dame Gothel her pregnancy and the prince’s visits—but, in many respects, violence, particularly when punishing villains, became more prevalent.

Eh, the original version was basically pre-internet porn fanfic. Brothers Grimm cut out most of the x rated stuff. Disney cleaned it up further with a lot of bleach to get the smut and kink off and made it into movies.
