I was recently building a web portal that could accept payments. I was looking into ways to avoid the extra credit card fees we’d have to pay to accept them. I was told I can’t charge an additional “credit card fee” because a lot of states outlawed them, but was told I could just relabel that fee as a “convenience fee” and it would be completely legal.

You could get OJ’s full confession in the book of his “fictional” telling of what happened called “if I did it”.

I once made the mistake of saying something against Luigi and had the comments jump on me. This is as much of an echo chamber as anywhere else.

Do you have any invites left? I’d love one if you do.

I don’t get how people are still pushing this nonsense. Over 200 million people have taken the Covid vaccine inside the US alone. If it was that dangerous we’d see SOME kind of evidence of it by now.

Republicans are geographically dispersed while Democrats are generally packed into urban areas. We lose 100% of the time if we try the same gerrymandering tactics. We need to be smarter, not play their games.

If you think I’m wrong, show me a single state we could flip from red to blue by gerrymandering. You need to show your work though. You can’t just say X state, you have to show HOW you could flip the state by gerrymandering.

Hahahahahahahaha

To be fair all the “dancing around and jumping through hoops” is enabling developer mode (which is just a switch in the extension settings) and turning back on manifest 2 in chrome://flags then just reloading the extension.

3/4 of all states are needed to amend the constitution. So 38 of them. I can’t imagine getting 38 states to agree on anything.

I just don’t buy it. I’ve worked at plenty of companies and I never saw it work that way. Sure, I’ve seen “we have to interview more candidates” or “we need to write our job applications to be more inclusive”, but I never saw “we need to hire the lessor candidate because they’re x”.

In my experience when someone is whining that they lost a possible job to a “DEI hire”, they’re usually just butthurt that someone was better than them.

I’d love to hear a coherent reason backed by facts and evidence about why DEI is bad?

Whenever someone tells me they don’t like DEI and I ask why, it’s always some unhinged spiel about women and immigrants taking their jobs.

This is such a crazy assertion. I know plenty of democrats who own guns. They just generally don’t make it their personality.

It also ignores the massive arms difference between a government of today and its citizens vs when the constitution was written.

Lots of change has happened in the US as the result of protests that go violent, but none have ever succeeded using guns.

On the flip side, I feel like his daughter would appreciate it.

Took a bit to make Gemini understand who I was talking about but this was it’s first result

Sharp wit, keenest eye, Tech truths told with soothing voice, Brownlee’s insights reign.

I don’t have a dog in this fight, but just to play devil’s advocate the advertisers too could have been losing money and be happy it was brought to light?

I would bet that there’s a rule that not only says what you said, but redirects people to something like r/askplumbers or whatever for these kind of posts.

I haven’t used reddit regularly since the API exodus, but I was part of plenty of communities like that. Mods can’t allow exceptions because you’ll get regulars complaining about the rule breaking content and new users complaining that their post was removed.

Like you said, they were mostly professional subreddits, but others had similar rules (like r/churning, but they were extra crazy. They’d require all discussion to be in specific threads so the content was less likely to be indexed by search engines).

If you’re looking for a similar class EV, I just got the mach-e and I love it.

There was something about the i4 I just didn’t like. I think it was how it felt kind of like an m3 to me. In the sense that if all you care about is going fast, then it’s a great car, but it’s not the luxury of the 5 or 7 series, which is what I think of when I think of BMW.

I’m too old for a car like that, and don’t drive enough to justify the i5 price, so I went economical (in comparison at least) with the mach-e. It’s fun to drive, has enough gitty-up-and-go for me, and it’s comfortable.

Though I got reeeeeeally close to saying fuck it and getting the i5.

Because it’s not that easy. Batteries are big, people want 250+ miles on a charge and battery tech isn’t there for standard sedans and smaller.

I just went through this and ended up with the mach-e (which I’m very happy with) but it still weighs about as much as my minivan (almost 5000lbs).

I just got the Ford Mach-e last weekend and I’m super happy with it.
