love to see this stuff, reacting to users in the world's #1 accidental entry point to programming. I wish they did this 20 years ago when i was neck deep in Excel daily!

That's a great and positive way to look at vaping. Every time I hear about "medical marijuana" I think about the probable link to schizophrenia, which will likely dwarf the pot eco…

i love brave, it has transformed search for me, and the results remind me of what Google felt like decades ago. I find stuff on brave that i never would find on google or duck duck…

I think it's ridiculous to force healthy college students to get a covid vaccine, and 100x to mandate a booster. Curious if this becomes a flag or 100x downvote, but at some point …

more great logic - we need to outsource jobs so the companies can earn a higher profit to pay UBI to the citizens they displaced. This is the equivalent of a ponzi scheme if you th…
