USian here - been wondering that about credit reporting bureaus and data brokers for a loooooooong time now.

Ad blockers will change your whole experience of the web. Kinda like it was “back in the day.”

Neat - a banner ad. Haven’t seen one of those in ages.

the other reason that they’re killing something - it’s a day ending in a “y”.

Same - this will easily be my favorite post of the day, and it’s still early.

Dunno, but agree that it was clearly melting their delicate snowflake sensibilities. I think we should bring it back.

Weird!

Definitely was not suggesting less college / less education, just that the idea of telling people that they must have a college education and that the only way to do that is to incur a mountain of debt is in need of some readjustment.

Just finished “The Debt Trap” - recommend, and expect to be angry after you read it.

Yup. I grew up in LA, lived in Chicago for a while and loved it there, don’t care for NY at all, but NY pizza is best pizza. Fact.

What? You mean without the cruelty? Why even bother?

Yep - I loved Privateer (one of the Wing Commander games). Once I installed it well after it came out (basically made for the 386) on a Pentium or something slightly better and it was fully unplayable. Bummer.

Looks like you forgot all of the awesome cheating on emissions standards tests!

Not wrong, but downvoted the ridiculous clickbait headline that was quite misleading.

Aaaaannndddd, if you’re in the US:

g) Expensive healthcare

h) Administration turning their backs on science

Is that really the end game for beer? I like seeing the head and all but I’m kinda glad when it dissipates.

Domain names have little to do with privacy, and also wise to mentally separate the domain name from your website. If you’re looking host a website and not deal with the US, it’s probably more important to focus on who your domain registrar is and who your web host is (and what countries both are based in). The TLD you pick is almost irrelevant.

Get what you’re saying, but that sounds like a bit of a stretch. If any employer did want to go all in on stupid like that, people would still be able to do the following:

• don’t contribute money to it (I certainly wouldn’t - I’d pay out to another account under my control)
• roll over / transfer any funds that are already in there into an account of your own control
• look for another job (big red flag for an employer, if you ask me)
