Bias ratings will always be biased. So aggregate or having multiple sources briefly used in a single small post would work best.

No "personal freedom" to violate the rights of others should exist when you are acting on behalf of the government, just like you can't advertise AT&T's service while on a call working tech support for Verizon and not expect to get fired.

Yeah, all of the Match.com owned services have done that for ages. Okcupid used to be truly a unique service, but it got transformed into another match.com zombie. Yay for late capitalism consolidation efficiency, or something...

And with the Kroger/Albertsons merger likely imminent considering they announced all the stores in my city they're going to close or sell off, it's likely to become the norm and even if it's deemed illegal, the fines won't be enough to matter until they can pay to make it legal. It's not like they can be shut down if they're the only grocery stores.

If you can develop a system that can defeat oauth security you can do way more than falsify Reddit API traffic. You could steal all kinds of information.

These aren't meant for complex things or even to install a full operating system kernel on or for moving data files. These are more for controlling electronics directly. Something you'd find inside a very specialized device like maybe controlling the speed of an air filter fan based on information from a few environmental sensors.

If their leaders say that someone else was going to do something to them, then it makes it acceptable when those leaders do those things to the people they said were going to do the thing to them. Easy way to make atrocities seem reasonable. Same thing they do with labeling people "terrorists". If you think someone is trying to horribly murder you, then when your leaders torture them, it seems ok.

That's just his personality when he doesn't get what he wants. He always has gone off the rails. He's a rich, entitled brat that never had to grow up because he has always been able to just get rid of anyone who didn't do everything he wanted.

Advertising communism apparently. 🤣

I just like that it's taboo, but not outright abuse. I'd love to find another subgenre that had a decent amount of available content. Suggestions?

So...people are only black if their family came directly to America from Africa? Being enslaved in other countries first means they aren't black?

And if you're mixed-race, and you don't count as being any of those races?

And no mixed race person should become president because you're taking away the chance for a single race person to be the first of that race to be president? And I think they forgot there was already a black president. Or are they saying the first woman president should be white so they don't take away the ability for a white person to be the first woman president since black people already got a first?

I've been using LibreWolf on Desktop and Mull on Android. Basically more securely configured versions of Firefox with the proprietary telemetry and some other stuff removed. Takes some tweaking to get certain websites to work that need more access than they should or use Certificate Authorities that don't have working OSCP servers.
