- Comment on Why isn't Putin receiving the same level of hate than people like Trump and Elon are? 3 hours ago:
Pretty sure you are measuring using the wrong indicators.
There is little reason to talk shit of Putin as he is so hated, just as no reason to discuss water being wet.
Don’t start “whataboutism”. Those other people suck too. No reason to rank them.
- Comment on How do you go about evaluating sources of information for truth/credibility/etc.? 3 days ago:
A small thing, and only for “creator” content and people. If they say multiple things, some you know about and some you don’t, then evaluate the stuff you know. If you detect bullshit in the stuff you know, throw it all out.
Someone that lies on one thing is fully untrustworthy.
Clearly doesn’t work when you are wrong.

Is this good or bad?
- Comment on Where can I buy a mosquito laser system? 3 days ago:
The Gates Foundation has something like this 20 years ago. It used the sounds of wing beats to find and identify gender and species.
It is unclear why nothing came of it. I look it up every few years…
- Comment on Weekends were a mistake says Infosys co-founder Murthy 4 days ago:
What’s that thing American slaves were allowed so that they would fuck it up and be happy with the structure provided by the slave owner? You know, happy with some freedom some would get drunk, others gamble, etc.
Anyway, it was shit.
Don’t fall into that trap.
- Comment on How would American culture change if the internet went down? 6 days ago:
There is a very small progressive talk radio movement. In MN AM 950. Matt McNeil is getting syndicated.
So not all gloom.
- Comment on How would American culture change if the internet went down? 1 week ago:
Politics would probably start to shift dramatically towards the left with the lack of echo chambers online.
No, it would not. The USA was not more liberal before the internet. Fascism rose without the internet in many countries.
It would be nice to not have Russian trolls though.

All are parts I was confused about. Others have clarified the accounts layering.

Thank you!
I appreciate that you listed off various ways to share games all in one place. Many guides I have seen handle the methods piecemeal, and I thought they overlapped morw.

I appreciate your sharing so much detail.
I don’t think my kids can handle memorized passwords and keeping accounts secure yet.

- Comment on Why is it difficult to get low-level remote jobs 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know your situation, but some time with a spreadsheet is called for. Figure out how to stretch things.
Clearly, this drifts from your original question.
- Comment on Why is it difficult to get low-level remote jobs 2 weeks ago:
Aim for higher paying jobs. That filters lots of crap. Legit jobs will take more thana few weeks to pay you.
If the timeline is a few weeks, look elsewhere.
Sorry.
- Comment on Realistically... How fucked is the US? 2 weeks ago:
Remember all thay resistance he faced in 2016? Gone. That shit takes decades to build up and was out of steam four years ago.
After that I have no idea.

You don’t count as the “a person I’ve met”. I appreciate your efforts all the same.

I have never met a person who canisolatw the moment when X became known to man.
The fuck does that even mean? The second? Is he asking for a dateand time? How many people has he asked? Could any of them look it up?
I have never met a person who canisolatw the moment when ice cream became known to man.
- Comment on There are Minimum Wages, Why Not a Maximum Wage? 2 weeks ago:
Tax rates used to extend over 100% in the USA. The IRS lost the case. They were limited to all of the money earned, not more.
So there used to ba maximum wage.
- Comment on Most of the trick-or-treaters have been skipping my house, and I finally figured out why 3 weeks ago:
7? I guess as long as it is announced. My neighborhood doesn’t start until after 6 so people can get home.

Do they mean the USA civil war and that south, or one of many other civil wars?
The USA South is fine. Fully integrated. They just couldn’t be dicks for a while.
- Comment on Boeing union workers Win tentative contract with 35 percent wage increase. 4 weeks ago:
The tentative agreement — which will have to receive a majority from union members before finalized — includes a 35% wage increase over four years of the contract, a larger signing bonus of $7,000, guaranteed minimum payouts in a new annual bonus program, and increased contributions to worker 401(k) retirement plans.
Even over 4 years it is big.

(No sources) but apps with no updates get removed from the stores. So yes , some updates are “nothing”.
