My logs tell me what they try to use. It’s not safari. Also they are paying users and would tell me if it didn’t work on their browser. The demographic I target is 99%+ Windows users.

Our capacity for imagination hasn’t changed much I would probably agree as I am not sure how these traits evolve. However I do feel higher IQ and excessive access to information/education with enough time to consume it do actually impa

You’re talking about a simple website with some q and a to determine eligibility. It doesn’t have to do the actual checks, it just tells them it’s illegal to lie. The crime and punishment part is always lagging. Our IRS system works the sam

There’s no need to make it difficult. All you have to do is publish sensible guardrails and force people to apply for assistance and it would shrink the public cost substantially. I have homeowners insurance, but if my home burns down today

There was a stimulus check that went out around that time. I felt it insane that I was receiving a check when nobody in my life was negatively impacted, the economy didn’t seem hurt (no more then when you’re up then down at a blackjack tabl

The time after I left campus life in mid00s was relatively normal until the AirPods came out then everyone everywhere started again with the headphones in most of the time, it’s been that way since. What I find interesting is how there seem
