Now we're cookin' with gas! er...without gas.

Sorry, didn’t realize it was so hard for you to do basic math on your own. Won’t happen again, boss.

I’d like to know where YOU live? I’m in a a midwestern town of about 45,000 and it costs me about $18,000 a year for two toddlers.

I think a binary system leaves no room for nuance, and therefore, no ability for consumers to make informed decisions. What about a scale instead? 1 could mean “Cancerous? Technically, but don’t worry about it unless you’re mainlining it 23 hours a day, dude.” And 10 could mean, “Seriously, make sure your will is updated.”

Lovely. Another floating action button. Why won’t floating action buttons just die already?

I know it’s slightly different, but that’s why I never buy “lifetime” subscriptions when they’re offered through apps because I don’t trust for a second that they won’t just up and change their policy in the future when somebody gets a wild greedy hair up their ass and decides to screw over their loyal customers.

Basically started with Watergate.

NTA. Sounds like you need to block the aunt and uncle as well.

Yet another news story Republicans will either completely ignore or use to confirm that the deep state is covering up election fraud. Sigh.

I was mainly referring to people with the power to effect significant change--politicians, world leaders, CEOs, etc, not your average person. I guess I should've been clearer on that point. I guess when I think about how many people in those positions are likely narcissists or psychopaths it starts to make more sense that they wouldn't care about their kids and grandkids, so...

It was March of 2021. President Joe Biden had just taken office, declaring his intent to “bring affordable, reliable, high-speed broadband to every American.” And instead of relying on Big Telecom, as much money as possible would go toward public networks. Biden promised to prioritize support for networks “owned, operated by, or affiliated with local governments, non-profits, and co-operatives.” He even suggested he’d clear the way legally for new municipal networks to exist by “lifting barriers that prevent municipally-owned or affiliated providers and rural electric co-ops from competing on an even playing field with private providers.”

I’m surprised Biden even said this part out loud. Whether it was just a politician’s promise or not, it means that, at least in speeches, the more dominant neo-liberal core of the Democratic Party is beginning to pay lip service to the progressive wing, which is something they didn’t really bother doing in the past. I think that’s a good sign.

I wonder how much of the watered-down law that ended up being less progressive was because Republicans, who always favor corporations over people, pushed for those changes.

Loving the app so far! Thanks for all your hard work!
