   Now I'm more lost. What does this image have to do with the fight? I would have thought it was a reference to Meta's new Twitter clone.

   I only know Mastodon: There's a large LGBTQ+ community who don't want to be indexed out of concern for their safety (because, for example, there are small far-right communities on other instances looking to cause mayhem). The abil

   Manning was sentenced to 35 years in prison, and has only had her sentence commuted--she's not free. That was the army, which is arguably much less dangerous for whistleblowers than the NSA.

   And y'all are playing right into that position (which is probably successful propaganda), instead of being angry at the NSA for sniffing through your panty drawer.

    I don't see it as mocking--more an allegorical lesson. Not everyone can understand basic thermodynamics without first being shown some examples.

    The point is it's a hormone--not, like, ascorbic acid or something. It's good to be aware that it can poison you, especially when the "vitamin" label can make it seem harmless.

    I'm not going to see their ad anyway, and if I did and knew it was targeted, I'd be more likely to find somewhere else to shop. What did we have before targeting existed? - I thought unobtrusive keyword-based ads in Google searche

    Not true, I've had pages of x-rated results with SafeSearch on, with DDG and Bing, a couple of times. The search only needs to be sufficiently weird. see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31334670

    What's wrong with fire escapes? I see plenty of space to add those to a point access block.
