Many people in the SEO industry have really been calling Google out publicly for this pretty hard and consistently for many months now. Glad they finally listened.
- Comment on Weekends were a mistake, says Infosys co-founder Narayama Murthy 2 days ago:
Bruh, your golf business meetings, lunches, drinks, clubs, gamblin, parties, and anything other than sitting in front of a computer going meeting after meeting with 5 minute lunch is a mistake.
When you can do what we do for the pay we get, let’s talk. Until then, kindly suck on deez nutz.

Because the people who can afford and are willing to pay are a certain demographic.
It’s all about personas and marketing testing!

I see. So you don’t live in America. I still stand by what I said because I’m pretty sure that many manufacturers that sell vehicles in your area are cheaper than a Tesla.
Also, why are you getting angry for me pointing out what’s true? You compared Tesla and Ford without specifying where you live and/or availability. If you can’t get a Ford there at all then of course it’s less affordable than a Tesla because it’s not even an option.
If that’s the point then begs to ask why you even compared the two for your edge case and used a generality of affordability to most “normal people”.

Then you certainly couldn’t buy a Tesla either which is more out of your price range. That’s the point of my response.
- Comment on Robinhood admits it’s just a gambling app. 3 weeks ago:
The whole point of this response is that a Tesla is not more affordable for most normal people because what they can purchase is influenced by initial buy in costs/their own budgets at purchase:
Most “normal people” have less than $1K in savings. A model 3 is baseline around $40K plus the infrastructure of chargers you will probably need installed to charge it.
A ford’s cheapest vehicle is a Bronco Sport or Escape starting at 29K.
Even with high credit scores, you’re talking at least ~$500 monthly payments even with something like 7K down. I know this because I purchased a new vehicle for about 30K within the past 6 months and my credit score was 815 at the time of purchase.
You have to remember that long term affordability doesn’t matter. Up front costs are influencing most “normal people” purchases because what you can afford NOW is what you can afford. There’s a reason subscription services see monthly or quarterly as their biggest buy-ins because cheaper up front costs mean more to the consumer who has to invest in the NOW despite the over time being a better deal.

- Comment on Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion Clinics 4 weeks ago:
Mapquest is still around, so that solves one problem. The rest can be alleviated by communicating in person with your partner and aligning on a plan to not get tracked (like partner driving you and leaving their phone at home).
In the absence of that help, friends or family you trust. A cab? The clinic probably has a phone to hail a cab.

lol! I can tell now that it’s a TNG reference, but the fact that I read Harry Potter makes it more comical to me. 😂

Sure, but he literally just gave a speech about it and then proceeds to ignore in roughly less than 30 seconds. 😂
- Comment on Super hero movies should have more scenes of them accidentally maiming people just because of the sheer amount of power they weild. 1 month ago:
It’s good, but upon re-watching it now from when I first watched it, and thinking a little differently about it - Superman talks about needing to be careful to not hurt people and cause deaths. Then he proceeds to put Darkseid through several buildings that obviously weren’t evacuated, followed by punching him so hard he goes through a couple layers of earth and totally destroys a bunch of infrastructure. He essentially shows his power and ignores everything he just said.

It was a tool to see what Google has cached, to check web pages for changes based on Google’s last access.
It also had a nice habit of bypassing those pop-ups that would prevent scrolling. 😂

But your argument is that they fawned over him because he made money. You’re specifically calling out the business/monetary side:
a capitalist world fawning over capitalists
No, they fawned over him because they liked his character and persona in public.

Bingo! Google wants to go cookieless and fingerprinting has been one of the solves I’ve always read about in the SEO world.
