LoL, no with stock splitting you get the same value only with more stocks that can go up in value eventually. This is worse cause the same amount of work*(arguably more considering how many server farms are out there mining the same coin now as opposed to back when it started)* for half the value. So, in a very real sense it does actually halve the value. And that’s not even looking at the fact that crypto currency has no inherited value. It’s not backed by anything but the investment of interest by crypto bros and shady groups looking to hide transactions and assets.

Okay I hate Bill Gates as much as anybody because he is a greedy scum sucking billionaire with extreme self-interest, but common core didn’t fail because it was a bad idea. Setting a common standard for all of education is not a bad thing. The problem was that it was introduced during the Obama administration and the conservative think tanks went to work immediately to put out propaganda trying to make it into yet another culture war prerogative. It’s been most recently tied to critical race theory even though CRT isn’t taught in anything but collage law classes.

In fact, the one that pisses me off most is how they’ve demonized the new math curriculum simply because it doesn’t jive with how it was taught in the past. But the way it was taught before was thought up by 1800’s school marms and the new math standards were developed by actual mathematicians who knows how math works far better than a 19th century school teacher. Kids who are taught the new math standards will be capable of more advanced math far sooner than their parents and grandparents ever were.

Only if he can get the credit.

And money. These people only really care about the money.

What is in your email isn’t the only data that sending one can generate. There’s the IP address where it was sent from and where it’s going, there’s the time of day it was sent, there’s a load of metadata attached they can read and glean information about you and your recipient. And there’s advertisement opportunities in the interface that many services use to collect info on you. There are so many ways to collect data on you through your interactions online it’s not even funny.

But yeah, keep pretending like you’ve found the only mail service that doesn’t collect any data on you at all if it helps you cope.

I loved Allo. I was really depressed to have to use Whatsapp after Google cancelled it. And one of my favorite things to do was use my Google rewards points to buy music.

And they wonder why no one invests time and interest in any of their new “experimental” products.

Do you honestly believe that there is a mail service out there that does not record data on you?

Google: people weren’t using it.

The People: you cancel literally everything you create, so why should we bother?

Stuff like manifest v3 isn’t actually particularly expensive to do.

Oh yes, a complete overhaul of the way their browser engine works is absolute child’s play and doesn’t cost a thing. 🙄😒

And yet Google is investing all this time and money into trying to block the blockers. It’s really quite stupid.

yosh!

It’s cause he’s not the one who’s actually making these things. He’s just the guy who provides money to make these things.

P.S. if someone could invent a predictive text algo that can distinguish between cause and cuz, that would actually be an amazing innovation. /rant

I forgot about that angle. That should be an amusing lawsuit. Hopefully it takes another few bi££ion from his $orry a$$.

I personally just hate to dumbasses who can’t understand that it’s not HAL9000, it’s just your smartphone’s predictive text with extra computing power and a better pool of previous entries to draw upon.

Yeah I really don’t understand why the hell they have to make it so different. Why do they need to distinguish themselves in this way? All it does is fuck up our gaming experience.

normally

There has been nothing normal about our elective process since the summer of 2015. And it’s only getting more fucked up across the board.

Well, I stand corrected. You are, indeed, a tankie.

In that case, get fucked. Governments murdering its citizens, or anyone for that matter, for any reason whatsoever is not okay.

a tankie like me

I’m not sure you understand exactly what a tankie is. I mean, do you really think it’s all right to sacrifice (I.E. straight up murder) people to the ideals of communism and socialism?

Being ultra liberal is fine IMO, even having the attitude that we might have to have use violence to overthrow of our government in order to get liberal ideals to be a part of our system is somewhat okay. But to think that our government, should it become communist, should be allowed to kill people in order to maintain a socialist or communist society is just straight up wrong and as far as I know that’s what a tankie is, someone who thinks that Tiananmen Square and Stalin’s reign of terror was just a necessary evil in order to strengthen the communist societal norm.

Microsoft: our new windows comes with not only a key logger but and EVERYTHING logger. Isn’t that great?!?!

Users: WTF, we have antivirus for the sole purpose of keeping that shit off our computers!!!

Microsoft: too late, it’s integrated. What are ya gonna do? Switch to Linux? (Laughs maniacally)

Way to fucking jinx it.
