This is excessively sensitive and represents an opinion-driven interpretation of the law. It seems like a lame attempt to make an "edgy" political statement.

I am not totally against targeted advertising when I am being targeted based on my activity on that site, but I find it really creepy when ads are targeted based on things I've done outside of the internet, or conversations I've

Does such a setting actually exist? I think you’re misunderstanding.

Are people really pleasured by optical illusions, or are they interested by them? I think that most people understand that their brains are struggling to comprehend them, and that is why they are interesting. Regardless, I don't think

This is a straw man argument. Who is making that point? In general, I find the opinions on these things to be pretty consistent: the “free market” types tend to support Apple/MS - usually with some form of “its their platform” as an ar

I strongly doubt that Google harbors any negative feelings for you specifically. Do you have any concrete evidence for your claim?

I think your core point is somewhat valuable, but does it really matter if any modern software could run on such outdated software? Why would I care if my software couldn’t run on a 20 year old machine? The new Raspberry Pi 4s have better h

I took a pretty boring poetry class a few years ago. Most of the poems other students (including myself) were boring and mostly just written for the sake of getting the assignment done. There was this one girl in the class who wrote a poem

I'm 26 now, and I first got into Facebook 12 years ago as a Freshman in high school. It was cool at first because I actually spent time with my "friends" on there, or at least saw them on a daily basis at my small high school

I'm with you. My SCSS is really just CSS with nesting. My CSS is cleaner without any downside. I've never experienced issues with maintainability, even in large CSS files.
