many women choose fields that they feel directly help people or society even if the paychecks are skimpy. But this doesn't mean they are necessarily taking on lots of debt.

They probably are, because you need a fucking master's to be a social worker.

You only need the equivalent of a 2 year degree to be a nurse, but that's also a shitty job. The nurses I know were considering quitting because the hospitals weren't protecting them, and they were getting attacked by patients. So then if they want to do something else, it's back to school.

It's capitalism and greed enabled by idiot masses, simple as.

They keep making changes because people are stupid and "new" equates with "good".

Most people are too stupid and/or ignorant (mostly both) to understand that AI makes slop.

Even Mozilla hired a CEO it didn't need, to help it do more business? Which didn't happen, instead it turned out to turn off users and lead to a war about the ramifications of giving him money when we found out what he does with the way too much money he was handed. So then they got another one who is equally worthless and wants to AI all the things and also gets paid way too much.

Firefox was really, really good in its early days, when the mission was about being light and fast. But they started ignoring users and also long-standing bugs very early on and the enshittification has proceeded ever since.

Those skinny scroll bars piss me off at least as much as they do you, BTW. You can barely even fucking see them in Edge. In Firefox you can see them OK, but actually using them is a nightmare. The easy fix only works on Windows, too, you have to manually edit config files on Linux. It's hard to not see that as an attack on Linux.

They can have the money back if the project falls through and the utility work hasn't started

Strongly disagree. They can only have the money back if no shovel has been turned, literally or metaphorically. By the time construction has started there's already been disruption to the community. All or nothing, fuck those fucking fucks.

They're worse than Wikipedia because if someone has some information to add to a Wikipedia article which doesn't have some demon editor squatting atop it like the throne of Nyarlathotep, they can just go ahead and add it right away without having to ask anyone or jump through any stupid hoops.

I'm not going to lurk and troll their stupid shitty slow site in order to find stuff that I can meet their points requirement with.
