Very meta.

Consenting adults should be sufficient.

That seems to be the trend. 'If you're not a facist, you're a nazi' looks to be the hip discourse lately. I have never been more happy, or genuinely nervous to be unaffiliated with any political movement burdened by other members.

Still though, remember the left, the right, the facists, the nazis, the whigs, and even stalin all think they were doing the right thing, and saving humanity by making hard choices at the expense of others. Power, no matter how it is held, can and will bulldoze the powerless, no matter who they are.

Pretty decent. I enable for one of 10 i'd say, and leave a whole lot more sites that require it needlessly without shedding any tears.

Many places will increase prices with low battery as a despiration tactic. Its shady af and should be illegal imho.

Most crawlers/bots, particularly the ones you want to be able to identify, spoof their user agent, making this mostly moot.

Most people I knew burned a copy of the cd, and proceeded to wear it out in their cd player. Back then they just coded half the cd as audio and the CD was basically the new NIN ep. Those were the magic and fusturating days of bonus content on CDs. I wonder how such content will be saved in the future? Playing "hidden track.mp3" really isnt the same as finding track 99 and hearing a song after the 10min of silence buffer to fool you.

Went back to using maps, with a quick glance at traffic cameras in problem spots, it gets me there faster, and with _less distraction_.

No the difference is that we process wood now. Look up dimensional lumber. Its confusing, but makes sense if looked at historically. Iy is not shrinkflation or any other such nonsense.

Bingo. In the 90s, you had to be pretty smart (and wealthy or near a decent school) just to know what the internet was, how to get access, and then do something useful or fun with it. Now, everyone uses it to pay their taxes, order soap, and use facebook. However the quality, while always full of trolls, has dropped imho.
