Decades of throwing money at the problem has shown that nothing changes. The money just goes down the drain.

Ah, defending no research. Gotcha

I’ve never heard the terms were treated differently. A troll was just called a troll.

Don’t talk to strangers.

Searching things is easy so don’t post something without checking it. People now don’t make the slightest effort to verify a rumor or conspiracy crap.

In the meantime drug abuse ruins neighborhoods and they have a right to be protected.

At what point does a nation cross a line from claiming to be solely acting in self defense to becoming a constant aggressor in a region

My wife does this with index cards. I have to try to figure out what she wrote down (1? l?) and she crosses out an old one and writes the new one in a random spot so I have to study the card to find the live pw.

I’d be open to using a pw manager then I read the comments here and everyone is suggesting different apps, arguing over how inconvenient one or the other it, various issues, etc. It doesn’t make me feel like taking action if everything feels sketchy.

Kroger customers unveil powerful customer choice by not shopping there.

Microsoft insists that these “smart shelves” will “delight the shoppers.

What parallel universe do the people who write this stuff live in?

I wonder if they some think they will be able to manage it.
