It's really about the power Trump has over the oligarchs that adopt judges to sway their opinions with lavish gifts.

In the tabletop game which takes place in 2040 there is an option for an internal agent that is part of your neuralware suite and an upgrade for your cybereyes to add a heads up display.

Presumably 30+ years later the tech should still be available if not improved on.

Wouldn't this kind of be like drug addicts telling children why drugs are bad?

Very few ways to better learn why something is right than far reaching consequences for doing it wrong.

Gotta protect the children from thing like boobs and the word fuck so they can get them started on what really matters, becoming hopelessly addicted to a social media platform to drive advertising revenue.

On the internet anyone and everyone is always right.

I work in a manufacturing facility, so very much a safety sensitive environment.

We are required to be drug tested as part of a pre-employment screening and potentially after incidents. The cool thing is it is part of our collective bargaining agreement that they are not allowed to screen for THC with a urine sample because of how invasive it is.

Mouth swabs are more expensive, but also only screen for THC within 24 hours. I'm sure that number is up for debate as well, but it is a far cry from the 6-8 weeks you can potentially test positive for with a urine screening.

Actual insightful conversation on a variety of subjects. Especially current events, I notice this the most when discussing content updates in video games. While official forums exist a lot of the games I play essentially use their subreddit as a semi-official community with devs being active participants.

/r/eve and /r/pathofexile are great examples of this.

It's hard to discount the success Reddit has had over the last decade or so positioning themselves as the "front page of the internet" giving people a forum to discuss all manner of subjects.

As I understand a lot of the hatred against Reddit and spez specifically comes from his attempts to monetize this phenomenon, not how effective/popular the site was.

I don't think there is a regulatory entity policing this issue.

And every real Canadian knows the best coffee in the country comes from small town Esso's.

I've used offline browsing before, it definitely used to be a feature they offered.

Just double checked this. Currently I am paying for a family plan which gives me 5 users and it costs $18.99 CAD. The family plan with 5 users is $22.99

I believe this recently increased because I kinda ticked off when they launched Stadia and sent all the YT premium customers free Stadias that came with Chromecast Ultras and I recall feeling like an idiot for not having the right plan and Google not being willing to switch me over and give me the free hardware.
