I permanently deleted my Facebook account September 2019. My phone number was included in this data breach, which was apparently August 2019. So close. If only I got rid of it sooner.

You can't be serious. Are you insinuating it has nothing to do with executive wages ballooning (CEO compensation growing nearly 1,000% since the 1970's) and is instead because women are working? https://www.epi.org&#x2F

Do you think $1-2 a month would really be enough? Something tells me Google makes more than $1-2 a month off me.

I didn't bother to buy it because I hardly ever buy games day 1 (RDR2 being the only exception), but the frustrating thing to me is the pre-release reviews all praised the game and while some casually talked about graphical hiccups and

I had an iPHone for a few months and noticed my reddit time dropped considerably. Part of it was because iPhone (or Reddit? I don't even know who is to blame here) wouldn't let me choose the reddit app I wanted as the default. If

I bought a printer at the beginning of COVID just to print Amazon return shipping labels, etc. that I used to take advantage of the office printer for. All I really wanted was a wireless printer so I could stick it somewhere out of sight (s

It's already clear that the vaccine, when it gets released, won't be a one time thing and we'll need more in the future to counter the mutations. Unfortunately, just in anecdotally talking to friends about it, it doesn't

what about the switch pro controller? I'll sometimes charge it on whatever usb-c cable is nearby when I'm gaming and the controller starts to die. Is that OK?

I wasn't big into RPGs growing up, and I didn't even have a Super Nintendo, but I bought a Mini SNES last year and gave it a shot...I was floored at how enjoyable the game is. I got pretty deep into it but life and work and everyt

I have never heard of a decice - iOS, Android, or otherwise, that had an alarm that couldn't be toggled off through the lock screen. What kind of awful alarm app was he using!?

The 57th St Tower (still being built I think) is slightly taller and even skinnier - and just as ugly. Really I think it detracts from the beauty of Central Park.

Are you on iOS? I was on Android until a few months ago. If I was sent a Reddit link it would open in the Reddit app I liked, no need to ever even look at the mobile site. I was shocked that that seemingly basic feature ISN'T available

I got these mostly because space is a luxury in our freezer (very tiny) and wanted to vertically stack them. I love them. It's such a weird thing to throw praise on, but I've literally told friends to get the silicon cover ice tra

It's been an ongoing, years-long effort to find the root cause and alleviate the pain. I was finally diagnosed with degenerative disc disease (aka shitty spinal discs). One particularly pessimistic doctor said I was "an otherwise

I have a long history of back pain going back to college (32 now). As I've gotten older (and a bit bigger) I've started to get knee pain in addition if I run a lot. So I recently switched to biking which has honestly been way more

I'm all for having more IPO's (my job is actually advocating for policies that make it easier/cheaper for companies to go public) - but maybe this isn't the best comparison to make: "While this [# of IPOs in 2019] w

How do you even control for a placebo in a trial like this? I gotta imagine you're either going to know you're on mushrooms or you're not.

If a man who already pays more money in taxes than I'll ever see in my lifetime is willing to DOUBLE that amount, it should be commended. If he's not willing to pay 10X that amount, I have little problem with that.

I know it is - that's where I got the fact from - but the fact that the headline is what it is leads to a distorted view from everyone who DOESN'T read the article.

Bill Gates also said he'd be willing to double the amount of taxes he currently pays, but you won't see that headline anywhere.

Odd that this is being posted now. The article is a month and a half old and comments on the proposed regs were due nearly 2 weeks ago. I was actually thinking it's weird that I haven't seen much talk about this here - it's a

I'd say in the US at least it's hard for a politician to devote money toward a multi-year program that their constituents won't see the benefit of for quite some time (or in the case of upkeep and maintenance, at all). The po

Maybe I'm an outlier, but I was never seeing news like that when I had Facebook. Instead I was bombarded with videos (usually "suggested by facebook") in between ads for things I had searched for days prior. I almost think it

For what it's worth my Roku has a search feature that populates a list of all streaming services (including rentals) that a movie or tv show you search for is on. I've seen plenty of sites that also combine all the streaming servi

Or just do what normal people do: 1. Search Google for movie you want to watch. 2. Google shows a handy "Available on" frame at the top of the page, with prices (if applicable) and services that it's on. 3. Click the link. 4.
