What? Trump had an anti-war platform. That’s why his response to Iran was so weak (and why he allowed them to return fire to save face). Also, he let Erdogan do whatever he wanted. And the Saudis. He didn’t care! And even if you don’t belie

Putin is trying to conquer a country because someone gave the heads up on his alleged plans and his feelings are hurt? People do not give Putin the credit he deserves and thus Putin plays them.

Turn to Putin for information then. Same outcome.

Great comment. Biggest mistake the West has made is thinking that soft power will work with Putin. He just doesn't care. Sanction some oligarchs and he still goes home to his palace like nothing ever happened.

> Today there's a lot of tough talk but there's no indication that Ukrainians will put up a fight and die en masse There's no evidence to the contrary. It has just begun.

How is demanding the end of NATO via an outside party having veto control over membership "negotiating"? It's very obvious that his demands are impossible. Putin is really a master at playing people. It's kind of shockin

Having a stake in a protocol incentivizes adoption and rewards network participation. The average person doesn’t buy stocks. This is a way for them to not be left behind by the elites.

I really like the idea of a native OSX app that takes your emotions into account and either plays music you like or shows your favorite photos that fade in and out. Something to snap you out of the crap zone.

Hilarious. None of those criticisms are even remotely privacy defeating in the current context yet Brave is marked as spyware. Is the author even aware of what real spyware is or are they pretending words don't matter?

My custom made earplugs block less noise than the ones stuffed into the ears. And my understanding is that is to be expected. I plan to have another pair of customs made and possibly see if I can get some custom ones for AirPod Pro tips. Ru

I built a client for their mobile API a while ago. Send it through Tor. That was the plan but I decided the project itself wasn’t worth it.

Infuriating. I know it’s a private company but the internet feels much less free recently. The reason I’m using YT is for private video backup and slideshows. So basically stuff that is backed up elsewhere. I want more decentralized solutio

I think it might have to do with the difficulty of getting a tourist or work visa for the US or Europe when from a country with a weak passport.

> When was the last time you went to a doctor and said: hey doc I have this, give me that medicine. My physician friend fires patients for doing this kind of stuff. Usually they demand unnecessary x-rays and CT scans.

Have you considered signing up as a Brave creator? Could generate more income from those that have auto contribute turned on.

We do pay for it. Perhaps you could address my point? Open source background job software that isn't reliable by default? That makes sense?

I understand paying extra for niche features. Isn't reliability a core feature of background job software?

I thought that was an ActiveRecord problem. We use MYSQL and have a lot of long-lived connections.

You can say that thesis has been disproved by Spravato. There are ways to commercialize and even prescribe off-label. I've been taking prescribed off-label ketamine for 4 years.

I think there's an argument to be made that a working opioid system is central to the anti-depressant effect of any anti-depressant? I actually tried naltrexone for a condition related to depression and it made me feel much worse and u

What can actually happen is the user is banned from a sub and goes to another sub and complains. The mod that banned them complains/reports to admins that this is target harassment and gets the user banned from the site. Complaining ab

Reddit bans users for complaining about mods. Deleting my accounts and not looking back. Twitter is more free and people are generally less offended by criticism.
