Don Jr is a paid "strategic advisor" to both Kalshi and Polymarket, and the private investment company he's partner in, 1789 Capital, invested millions into Polymarket. Reportedly the Trump family owns stock in both companies.

The corruption and grift has become so blatant that nobody even bothers reporting on it anymore.

Do you think it's likely that the people who work on memory optimization and the high-performance Javascript JIT compiler are the same people who put together a fun little time-wasting homepage puzzle?

Firefox and Mozilla have definitely suffered from whiplash over the years when it comes to priorities, but when I get annoyed I try to remember that Firefox is still an open-source project that accepts contributions from everyone. Sometimes there will be features added just because it was an itch someone wanted to scratch or a fun idea they wanted to try out. A little puzzle like this that you can easily turn off doesn't harm anything.

One of the side-effects of an open project like this is that you have a variety of different goals. Some will be boring bean-counter stuff, some performance and features, and some just fun. That's okay.

Besides, Chrome has had a dumb game embedded in a browser error page for over 10 years and nobody lost their minds (or if they did, nobody has missed them).

Having a quiet part of the home may mitigate the association between exposure to road traffic noise and higher risk of Parkinson's disease, according to the findings.

The only thing I've found worth bothering with at Starbucks is their "blonde" roasts (what everyone else would probably call "medium"). A blonde americano or a Veranda batch brew (I think they still technically offer a pour-over, but none of the employees are capable doing it) are the only things I'll get when Starbucks is my only option.

Pike Place is worse than gas station mystery brew that's been on the warmer for 6 hours.

Teach your kids to look both ways before crossing the street?

Wrong. Any progressive tax system is a "wealth tax" and the only thing it's a radical departure from is the steaming pile of shit that Rotten Ronnie left for us in the 80's. Go back a little further and you'll see tax brackets as high as 94% during the 1940s.

A wealth cap is simply a progressive tax system where eventually you reach a 100% tax bracket. Frankly I don't see any reason this is inherently a bad thing, especially when you're talking about the top 0.01% hoarders of wealth. Not that it matters much, since none of the people it would possibly apply to actually take a normal salary income. Part of any effective changes like this has to include capturing the real way that these people acquire and store their money, which will never happen.

Or corporate profits, which have more than doubled in the last 10 years.

It's great that the cure for PTSD is something as simple as money.

The car wasn't stolen, coward.

It cost him 5 minutes of his life, plus potential minor PTSD from nearly having guns drawn on you through absolutely no fault of your own.

A drone is a good idea, actually, but I wouldn't use a laser. An actuated squirt gun filled with epoxy or some other nearly impossible to remove liquid would be easier and work just as well. You could even use regular paint if you wanted to hedge and avoid "destruction of property" charges, instead just be a nuisance, forcing them to waste money and manpower to clean the camera lenses.

The biggest risk of being caught is probably a correlative search, using other nearby recording devices to try and figure out the common suspect who was near all of the destroyed cameras. This is one of the big chilling effects of any surveillance state - even if you aren't caught red-handed in the act of something, it becomes trivial to collect enough circumstantial evidence to build a case against you.

And eventually they'll create drone no-fly zones around every single Flock camera. The drone dead-zone map for the country will look like Swiss cheese, with 50-foot circles scattered over every single city and road.

No, but they can report you to the admins that can - and moderators' words weigh far more heavily than those of an average user since no one at Reddit wants to actually read every single report they receive.

I posted the phone number to a police station and got permabanned from all of Reddit for doxxing, so no - you really don't have to do a whole lot to become persona non grata on EVERY SINGLE HOBBY FORUM on the internet.

The solution is to pour lots and lots and LOTS of oil into the ocean. Since the oil tends to go on top of the water it'll press the water down, thus limiting sea level rise. Fossil fuels for the win again!

Free? In America? Hell nah, that's commie talk.
