My experience has been that the more time people spend on social media and/or consuming the "news" (such as FOX/CNN), the more they have these feelings of impending doom. That being said, some things are far better now a

Yeah I think my post was lacking nuance, because of course a lot of things come out during the build. What I mean is at some point all software starts out as an idea, generally being discussed with others. Typically you will get to scope do

The part left unsaid here is that there is plenty of affordable housing even in most cities, people just don't want to live in "those neighborhoods" until they are properly gentrified, at which point the housing is too expens

We don't need to make assumptions though. I use Brave search and barely see any ads. Google has the market dominant position and it's so many ads that it impairs the quality of results. Which is why I stopped using it. So no, your

Simp isn't an acronym (I don't think, or at least not generally used as one), it's just slang. It's not derived from simpering though, it doesn't mean anything like that. It refers to sad men who are led around by t

Your assumption that ads would increase is not supported by any data. What we do know is that Google in their anticompetitive position over the last several years has continually increased ad space on search to the point that many searches

It sounds like you're saying the government has completely shit the bed in their regulatory duties, but I don't see you assign blame there at all for some reason.
