You're absolutely correct. The writer's icon resembles Alt-right insignias[0]. I am speechless... Actual comment sample (not post but speaks to target audience). > Do we actually need more ‘scientific progress’ though? That is

It hurts my soul every time I reminded that companies have no cap on how much they can 'donate' to politicians. Imagine a world where there was no money in politics.

What if you're simply not worth as much as you used to be in a given region?

Anecdotally. When I set up my account on Azure there was a bug in the web client that filled out my region to Canada. So I opened a support ticket and they said they can't change the region on my account and the workaround was to open

Definitely heard this a ton in the US Army. Specifically around reloading your weapon.

Same on my machine. I ended up not reading the article due to the the ads. Generally I'll deal with them to support the content creator, but these were too much for me to deal with.
