d it seems things are only getting worse on a daily basis unless you're a Software Engineer and I don't doubt the hammer will come down on them soon as well. Why would you joke about something like that? ( https://giph

Yep, Ive heard that. I only wish it were sarcasm. I've heard it too. My response is usually equally quippy: So, you hate money or having more negotiating power? Which is it? Sometimes the people I've deployed that at are smart e

To put a positive suggestion forward, Google could consider giving all services a "sunset guarantee I'd honestly even settle with something like a program where users can choose to enroll in these programs in some sort of test p

True, but I kind of get where their headspace is here. It feels like a weird jaunt to rely on alt tags for what is ultimately just simulacrum of what exists in the alt tags considering that-for the sake of accessibility-going with plain tex

"To be fair"? How does that qualifier change anything? The consumer can still make choices unfettered about using $brand of their choice when baking a cake. Unfettered, operative word here. A better comparison would be walking to

I love Easter eggs like this one! I usually put in a secret route in web apps/APIs that I build that spits out a silly meme. On my personal site there's something similar to this, a link to a page that technically got moved and

Personally I wasn't-necessarily-a hold out, rather dispassionately observing from the sidelines but I'll admit that approach to the descriptors made me subtly. It makes the most sense, and much more accurately defines the mechanis

Another idea is we don't like seeing the face of what we're eating. Most meat is processed to the point where we can't see where it comes from. Ahh laws and sausages ;)

"Just get new friends" is definitely callow, but muting someone for a while on Facebook isn't the same as shutting them out of your whole life forever. Maybe I've misunderstood what the implication was supposed to be-i

Sounds like you should "just get new friends". Who else is tired of hearing that worthless piece of advice? I don't dislike these people. Most of them I even strongly agree with-morally and ethically for the most part. Some

Fair enough. Consider me a bit incredulous of that argument. I guess, as a man of color I'm hesitant to create some sort of ranking system as to "who's getting whipped harder" as a metric when it comes to racial discrimi
