shalafi , in Gov. Tim Walz agrees to VP debate hosted by CBS News on Oct. 1

Heysus. After watching the whole Biden/Trump debacle, and hurting like hell, I’m all in for this one. Even more so for the Harris/Trump debate. Not going to miss a single word those nights. Pay. Back. Time.

He just won’t go away. Read the room.

ZagamTheVile ,

The guy has brain worms and rats himself out for dumping bears in parks. I’m not trying to be rude, but do you really think he can read a room? Really?

pyre ,

to be fair during the bear story “the room” was roseanne barr.

Kethal , in Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads

I used Firefox when it first came out. Google and Mozzila got into a hot race to make the best browser and they both did well. Somehow I ended up using Chrome a lot more even though I thought that by the time the race ended they were pretty even. Both were very fast and had great plugin libraries. Chrome looked nicer out of the box, but Firefox is highly customizable. Since the end of that race, Chrome has gotten worse and Firefox is about the same. I’ve switched back fully to Firefox, and the only thing I miss is the “Piss off publisher frames” plugin, that I haven’t found a replacement for. It’s a nice browser.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

I switched to chrome for several years. Back then I was using Gmail and google docs et cetera. I naively thought Google were the good guys.

At that time the chrome ui was better. As an example, Firefox still had a separate search bar and address bar, although you could search in the address bar if you wished.

More recently I think the “nice ui” thing has tipped back towards Firefox. Chrome seems to have evolved some extra buttons.

Kethal ,

Yeah, it’s ironic that one of Google’s selling points was that Chrome didn’t have a lot of clutter. It’s even where the name comes from. Now it looks messy. It’s no Microsoft product yet, but it’s definitely one of the ways it used to be better.

billiam0202 ,

As an example, Firefox still had a separate search bar and address bar, although you could search in the address bar if you wished.

The advantages of that was you could set the URL bar and search bar to different search engines. I would do a Google search with the URL bar while keeping the search bar set to Wikipedia. Eventually this feature was removed, and then the search bar itself (since there was no reason to search from the URL bar and a dedicated search bar.) It’s a feature I missed for a while, but I got over it.

feannag ,

You know you can set up custom strings to use different searches, right? E.g. typing w: and then your search string to search Wikipedia.

billiam0202 ,

I’m aware there are probably a hundred different ways to do what I want in Firefox, and that 99 of them are probably easier than the way I do them already. Now I just keep a Wiki tab open for when I want to search something.

zueski ,

I have never understood the desire to combine the search and the address fields. I occasional search a url when I forget the rules for what it thinks is keyword. It just seems like a scheme to collect more data by bouncing your intended site to google and increase your reliance on them rather than being a real UI feature.

I would be on Firefox myself except that I need Webassembly that functions at a decent speed and It's about 30-100 times slower on Firefox than it is on Chrome and hasn't changed in yeeeeears.

expatriado , in Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tried to meet with Kamala Harris to discuss Cabinet job

he is probably stealing more votes from Trump than Harris, so he better stay in the race

Harris and her advisers have not responded with an offer to meet or shown interest in the proposal, say people familiar with the conversations.

The Kennedy outreach, made through intermediaries, follows a meeting in Milwaukee last month between Kennedy and Republican nominee Donald Trump to discuss a similar policy role and endorsement that resulted in no agreement.

I imagine that Kennedy would like some return on kingmaking.

SeaJ ,

From polling, it appears that you are correct. Although how committed those voters are remains to be seen. I think I recall Johnson polling at around 6% in 2016 but ended up with a little over 3%.

pyre ,

well he’s going for the uneducated fuckwit vote, so yeah.

wasn’t necessarily true before, mind you. i think a lot of people were going to vote for him just because they didn’t want to choose between the same two dudes again.

also the more he talks the more he’ll drive away any voters lucky enough to have multiple neurons, and maybe steal a couple single neuron voters.

Hopefully the DoJ case against Google includes getting bent over a barrel for abusing their position as a market maker to force their revenue model.

TenderfootGungi , in What a "no taxes on tips" policy could mean for U.S. tipping culture

It would reinforce it. Instead, do what several countries have done, and make tipping mostly non-existent.

TheAlbatross , in "Double haters" who loathed Trump and Biden actually seem to like Kamala Harris, poll suggests

It feels kinda good to think that some Washington think tank might be calling me a double hater

eskimofry ,

They’re probably old, senile and out of touch millionaires who are insulated from any consequences.

DragonTypeWyvern ,
Aceticon ,

The irony of calling “double hater” people who as a general rule don’t like people who spread hate or actively support those who practice hate, is also delicious and kind of says everything one needs to know about the Doublethink style of discourse of the people making up such labels.

Being truly anti-hate as a principle logically makes one be both against Trump and Biden, one for spreading hate and the other for actively supporting people practicing their hate aginst men, women and children with extreme violence.

rusticus , in MAGA election official immediately spews conspiracies after conviction

No remorse. Throw away the key your honor.

Zaktor , in Columbia University president resigns after Gaza protests turmoil

Good riddance and should have been sooner. Not only did she personally order violence against her students and staff, resulting in a no-confidence vote from her faculty, but her heavy-handed response to the early low-key protest is what kicked off the more forceful campus protests across the country. It’s amazing that such a failure lasted as long as she did. The other resignees were pushed out after mistakenly treating a political witch hunt by actual antisemites like a good faith discussion, this lady actually massively failed at her job and is personally responsible for the “period of turmoil” at both her campus and across the country.

She could have just let students camp on the lawn with their signs until they got tired of it.

expatriado , in Vance agrees that raising grandchildren is ‘whole purpose of postmenopausal female’

this shouldn’t be ok with more than %4 of the population, but here we are, with %40+ thinking it just fine

Silverseren , in Vance agrees that raising grandchildren is ‘whole purpose of postmenopausal female’

Goddamn, he's such a creepy weirdo.

hate2bme , in "Double haters" who loathed Trump and Biden actually seem to like Kamala Harris, poll suggests

Not me, but I do like Walz. Wish he was running for president.

How the fuck is this allowed?

Warl0k3 ,

Separation of powers. Executive has the DOJ and friends, Congress has the Sgt at arms and Judiciary has contempt. All three are, in theory, immune to interference from the other branches, to allow said branches to defend themselves. Stupid, stupid idea.

Chocrates , in "Double haters" who loathed Trump and Biden actually seem to like Kamala Harris, poll suggests

The fuck do they have to give it such a negative name? I think a lot of people didn’t like either option, across a lot of different spectra of citizen.

Ok, someone needs to sell a brand of this as Couch Condoms and donate the proceeds to voter registration programs.
