Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

Replace ‘anti-semites’ with ‘right-wingers’, and there’s your answer

It stopped at $400,000 because the state Supreme Court ruled the law unconstitutional and put a stop to the whole operation. He’d have made tens of millions otherwise.

They tried it in florida and 96% of recipients passed…but not before the state spent $400,000 in taxpayer money with the drug testing company…that had the governors wife on its board of directors

I think it’s biased towards people that enjoy reading books, which rules out roughly 95% of conservatives.

There’s no trick to it. If you don’t agree to the terms of service, feel free to not use the product.

If me being an asshole to other assholes makes those assholes think I’m an asshole, I guess me being fine with it instead of doubling down and acting like there’s only one asshole in the room is the only thing that sets me apart lol

And I am perfectly fine with that.

Because it came up in my feed and I felt like commenting? Do I need a better reason?

Sure, by all means, go screaming your discontent to every corner of the internet. Let me know what that accomplishes for you.
You can bitch about shit outside of your control or you can deal with it and move on with your life. Your choice.

You gave them permission to do so when you agreed to the EULA at the time you downloaded it, if you have a problem with that, feel free to delete Mozilla and move on with your life.
- Comment on Firefox version 126 introduces the collection of search data telemetry. 6 months ago:
Ah right, makes sense. I take it you read the EULA in its entirety before you ever downloaded Mozilla in the first place? Because if you didn’t, you missed the part where you gave them permission to do exactly that.

What’s the point of making it opt in when only the most paranoid users are going to be concerned enough about this to opt out
“We came out with this new feature to help us improve our product, but we’re deliberately kneecapping it on day one by making it opt-in” lol

It wouldn’t be such a concern if they didn’t make up like 40% of the population.

Oh it’s still incredibly USA centric, the userbase just gets their talking points from Russian bot farms instead of US media outlets lol

- Comment on Apple has a memory problem and we're all paying for it 1 year ago:
I mean when 70% of the public doesn’t use a computer for anything more demanding than streaming Netflix, office work, and paying bills 8gb is plenty. Sure the base model MacBook Air is still $1000 but for that you get a better screen, an exponentially better operating system than windows, an all aluminum case, and a machine that will still be in good shape 10 years from now. Hell my home computer is a 2014 MacBook Pro and performance wise that thing will still go toe to toe with windows machines built this year lol.
Can you get a similarly performing windows machine for less? Sure. But it’ll be a cheap plastic piece of shit with a clunky os full of bloatware that you have to fiddlefuck around with to get it back to how you want it every time they push out a software update.
