Any third party that a left leaning person might vote for will only help Republicans to win elections by siphoning votes away from Democrats.
In fact, that’s exactly why they exist.
So yeah, they get hate, because they’re actively trying to sabotage progressive causes and usher in fascism.
Google is buying your data, not selling it. They use it to make their ad platform more effective, and selling the data would just help their competitors.
The NSA does collect data from third parties like Google, but not just anyone can buy it from them.
Avoiding slurs is good, but you’re still claiming that her experience is impossible because you’ve never experienced the same thing.
The irony here is so thick, it’s absolutely incredible.

I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.
Or for another example, see Andrew Tate and all the idiots who follow him.
unless a progressive third party emerges the system will keep getting worse
If a progressive third party emerges, they’ll split the vote with Democrats, making both of them weaker. That’ll just give every election to Republicans and make the country get worse even faster.
The only way to get progressive candidates is by moving the Overton window to the left, and the only way to do that is by voting for Democrats.
Statistically no, it’s not very dangerous as far as big cities go. Its homicide rate is ranked 30-something in the USA. Pretty much every city has “bad areas”, though.
Ford didn’t even claim that he invented the automobile. However, he did make the manufacturing process a lot faster, and therefore cheaper, so he was the first to sell them at a price that most people could afford.
He was also a turbo-racist who Hitler saw as an inspiration, but that’s a different subject.
You think in Reddit’s 20 year history no one has thought of indexing comments for data science workloads?
I’m sure they have, but an index doesn’t have anything to do with the python library you mentioned.
Analytics workflows are never run on the production database, always on read replicas
Sure, either that or aggregating live streams of data, but either way it doesn’t have anything to do with ElasticSearch.
It’s still totally possible to sync things to ElasticSearch in a way that won’t affect performance on the production servers, but I’m just saying it’s not entirely trivial, especially at the scale reddit operates at, and there’s a cost for those extra servers and storage to consider as well.
It’s hard for us to say if that math works out.
It’s incredibly naive to think that they don’t have a vested interest in identifying organic engagement
You would think, but you could say the same about Facebook and I know from experience that they don’t give a fuck about bots. If anything they actually like the bots because it looks like they have more users.
MAP (minimum advertised price) is often different from MSRP, but otherwise this comment is correct.
In some industries, like RVs or auto parts, the vast majority of products have a MAP. The manufacturers also have bots that scan the internet for MAP violations, and they’ll blacklist a vendor if they don’t fix the price within a day or two. (Which is really annoying when there’s a false positive and I get blamed for it.)
I think it’s partly so high volume vendors can’t put smaller vendors out of business by just reducing their margins as much as possible, and it’s partly because the manufacturer doesn’t want their products to look like they’re really cheap. Customers feel better about finding a “great deal” on an “expensive” product.
Politicians just ignore protests, especially if they’re peaceful, so they don’t directly cause change.
The purpose of a protest is to get media coverage for an issue, because that may convince viewers to vote a certain way. Those votes - or at least the threat of voting someone out of office - is what actually causes change.
Revolutions are a different story. They can change things much faster than voting, but they’re volatile and can easily end up worse than before. The people leading a revolution are usually not the people you want to lead a revolution (e.g. the Jan 6 insurrection in the US).

Our findings suggest that free-ranging cats cause substantially greater wildlife mortality than previously thought and are likely the single greatest source of anthropogenic mortality for US birds and mammals.
I don’t hate Republicans because they’re on the other side of the fence.
I hate them because they’re trying to kill some of my friends and family.
If Republicans gain control of the federal government again, people I know will die.

It almost did. There was a mob of people just a couple doors away from murdering most of congress and making Trump a dictator.
The only reason Trump failed to end democracy is because he and the rest of the Republican party were just trying things without a real plan.
They have a plan now. If they get a chance to use it, they will be successful.
That’s Capcom for you. It doesn’t seem like their mtx ever makes sense to buy.
This is the stupidest thing I’ve read today.
