In January [Barbers Hill Independent School District Superintendent Greg Poole] placed a full page ad in the Houston Chronicle, arguing that “being an American requires conformity with the positive benefit of unity"

TIL being American is actually about conformity. Thanks Texas

Wow I really did not know there was a confederate flag on top of that car. That’s crazy

Isn’t signal open source though? I know being open source doesn’t magically make it interoperable with other services but even if Signal or Whisper systems sell out, someone could just fork the projects

How are biometrics fundamentally insecure?

I just read the article, she’s suing the school because she claims administrators ignored reports the kid had a gun as well as a history of “troubling behavior”

Yeah I thought the complaints about iOS were a bit weird as well. It seemed like they didn’t like that smartphones got more capable. Of course there’s going to be a million apps and a million settings when (as you put it) consumers increasingly expect their devices to do everything

Here’s hoping these companies have to pony up billions not millions

I’m confused, I thought I was pretty clear that therapy isn’t going to fix any of the societal issues that give you anxiety, it’s not supposed to…

Can you help me escape politicians who are taking away the ability for women to have safe abortions, attempt to overthrow the government, and their voters who brag about it by flying fascist flags on their cars? What about massive inflation without a similar rise in income that is needed just to survive?

Nope, that’s going to take a lot of work to do anything about. What (imo) your therapist should be helping you do is develop strategies that let you deal with your anxieties. If therapy was only for dealing with things after the fact I don’t think I would be doing it because I agree with you, we can’t escape all the awful shit in the world but what we can do is make it not so debilitating that you can’t do anything.

Whoa whoa whoa, that’s Momazon, a company that resembles but is legally distinct from Amazon

Have you considered that you may be turning into a vampire?

I mean I remember taking biology that went over reproductive anatomy in 6th grade. I feel like gender identity isn’t any more mature of a topic than penises and vaginas. Maybe my school was an outlier though? Either way I think letting kids who might not feel comfortable with their gender know that their feelings are valid is important enough to warrant mentioning in elementary school

I mean, you can add their user agent to the robots file but the crawler could just change their user agent or even ignore the robots file if the server isn’t filtering requests by user agent
