Sadly, there have been Nazi and white supremacist rallies all over the country, often and every year for quite some time. It's really sad, but that's the reality.

But I think is more notable recently, and more disturbing, is that they're getting more press and less pushback from the media rather than being ostracized and ignored as they have been in the past.

So... don't engage with them then. You don't have to reply. They don't have to either. You're both fanning the flames of arguments you both claim you don't want to have.

Or bone cancer in kids. Fuck that guy.

I'm 48. I was dating five years ago, and now I'm married to a woman who doesn't play games at all. So I'll say this: when a date says "oh dear" or some such when you say you play games, that's a red flag. Even if they don't personally play, it's pretty shitty for a partner (or potential partner) to try to make you feel bad about about your hobbies. Absolutely fuck that noise. They don't have to like the same things, but it's a whole other situation for them to tell you it's dumb or wrong for you to like what you like. That goes double when you have kids and you play with them.

I play games, I draw, and I play D&D. Hell, I just bought a Steamdeck and am goingto build an arcade cabinet with my stepson. My wife does none of that, and it's super important to me that I not be shamed about my hobbies. I would never shame her about hers.

There is no age cutoff. The idea that fun things are childish is a stupid concept pushed by boring people on the rest of us because they don't know how to have fun anymore.

Of course they can be disabled. But sites are not all built the same way, so there isn't one silver bullet we can tell you about to disable them everywhere. On mobile it's even more difficult because access to browser plugins is more limited, along with developer features within the browser.

I also use FF on Android, and until recently was also using Reddit. There isn't a good way to remove that bar.

People sure like to dunk on PHP. I'll take whatever flak for this, but this is the kind of meme a .NET fanboy or Ruby on Rails bro would make when they haven't touched any languages other then their prescious, and don't know wtf they're talking about.

PHP, after all these years, is STILL running 78% of all sites. That's not because it's garbage or the worst. It's solid, reliable, mature and very well documented. And I say this as someone who has gladly moved to Python, but also work in in others.

He can stuff the votes with bots and get what he wants. Don't think for a second that he'll let people like you and I succeed at voting out mods who are on his side.

I haven't :) I think for most users the free version is everything they need. For $1 or $3 (depending on the tier) you get the ability to store and encrypt files instead of just passwords and text notes, etc. More on that here: https://bitwarden.com/pricing/

Very good point - the paid version is cheap and well worth it.

Oh yeah, that's such a huge feature for my wife and kids.

I used to think the same, until I read somewhere that our brain is pretty much the size of our two fists if we put them palm-to-palm. Looking at my own hands that way is a great reminder.
