We have lost features and utility along the way. 1Password now only supports a narrow “happy path” of entering passwords into web pages. You don’t need to cast aspersions against other people to make your argument. Why would you do that? Gr

Absolutely it should be a criminal offence to doxx people. If someone isn’t committing a crime and prefers to use a pseudonym, more power to them. If you deliberately publish their identity without permission, to the deepest layer of Hell f

Yes, I want the government regulating the finance sector because far too many people are willing to trust someone who presents a complicated system as a way to take money. Today the crypto scammers, tomorrow the hedge fund traders.

GP is not expressing those views personally but narrating views held by people who believe they need to walk on eggshells all the time lest they get in trouble with the “woke police.”

We as a society see some value in the success of a wanted pregnancy. Once you consider the intentions of the pregnant person, it’s easier to resolve these “competing rights”. When you only consider a woman to be an incubator for your childr
