>(the same people who own Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange own Tether, and yet did not disclose that until it was found out) I thought Tether & BitFinex were the two partners? Am I wrong?

I'd say you have to be more specific on that. I broke my leg once playing paintball, my personal time hobbies impacted my performance during work hours for a couple months due to mobility issues + appointment followups. Is it in my emp

Just know that largely groups like Incel, MGTOW, and PUA aren't doing men any favors. Any progressive movement will have toxic sects, but that shouldn't negate the entire movement altogether. There are better groups out there su

Sometimes it isn't all that simple. My work laptop runs W10. At some point in the last 3 months or so, an update came in and fucked up Windows Explorer. About 5 times in a work day I need to use Task Manager to reboot Windows Explorer

Not OP, but I went to Ubuntu at first, but since it didn't like my Lenovo Yoga's tablet mode and screen rotation I gave up fighting it and went to Fedora. Works perfect out of box, I only had to change a few personal preferences t

Same thing that gave me the kick to go over to Linux. Unfortunately I had a no-boot issue updating Fedora last week and had to do a complete re-install... at least I'm not paying for Fedora.
