You being very generous by calling the characters interesting. The character line-up was the most generic, by-the-numbers GotG ripoff I’ve ever seen.

Well, that is until the Chevron decision got knocked down.

No, it’s not. But, it’s one of those life decisions that will completely improve their future in the long run.

The cost of living where you live is just as important as the wages you make.

Agreed. Needing to “tighten the belt” out of a $200K salary is insane to me. Don’t live in Silicon Valley, and maybe you don’t need to pay four times as much for everything.

Your last sentence makes no sense.

People are sick of far-right agendas polluting the world and their countries, and realize that racism and isolationism isn’t the answer.

You might find this surprising, but elections aren’t won based on foreign policy issues.

This sounds like a horribly reductive take. Correlation does not mean causation.

Do you know how to break the cycle? Use open-source software. Use standard protocols that aren’t locked behind some greedy corporation.

Why not take the features from Discord/Slack and integrate it into a new IRC or Jabber protocol?

Microsoft spent millions of dollars and clout to lock their OEM out of offering Linux on the desktop. There’s a good reason why you don’t see Linux PCs on the shelves of Walmart.

It’s a protocol, made with open RFC docs.

This is an overly simplified summary that doesn’t describe the objection to mentioning Congress as the only body to enforce the amendment. It was 9-0, but 4 justices made a special declaration pointing that out.

While all nine justices agreed that Trump should be on the ballot, there was sharp disagreement from the three liberal members of the court and a milder disagreement from conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett that their colleagues went too far in determining what Congress must do to disqualify someone from federal office.

Both of these takes are extremely cynical, and should be taken with a grain of salt. Israel’s actions with Gaza and the extremely right-wing PM in charge should not define Israel as a country and the reasons why the US has them as an ally, just like how Trump does not define the US as a country.

To be clear, I’m not suggesting that they shouldn’t be criticized. But, let’s criticize the actions, instead of making up reasons that the US is involved with Israel in the first place.

Mozilla was quite the memory hog, back in the day. In some respects, it still is, but it’s certainly better than this Manifest v3 crap.

HTTP headers can be faked. Easily.

There is also an incredibly huge saturation of authors, musicians, actors, artists, and other creatives that all expect to make it a career. It’s far from realistic, and the stripping down of public domain through many decades of shady copyright extension laws have just been propping up this house of cards, at the expense of the public that deserves it.

For the past 20 years or so, especially with the Internet accelerating the process, people are starting to realize that these are not good career choices, and these industries will turn into mostly free hobbies, based on their passion to create.

Even now, I can throw a stick at some random artist on Bandcamp, and find great music for free who has barely any subscribers. Why spend $15 for a CD? Why spend money on royalties for using music on a video, when so many artists give it out copyright free?
