My phone (my phone!) prompts me every week to accept updated ToS for the OS.

It is a permanent entry in my notifications because it is not dismissable and I am simply not going to waste my time with such nonsense.

Dear Every software company, just because you spend 40 hours a week thinking about your software, does not mean that your customers also want to spend large amounts of their time thinking about... *checks notes* ...their internet banking two factor authenticator app

I'm flattered, but you have the wrong Chris

Seems Hegseth is not only ignorant of morality but also of morale

I want to bring the media coverage of the Parliamentary Inquiry into taxing gas to the "wHy ArN't tHe gReeNs dOing bEttEr1? conversation.

It's being chaired by the Greens, and they have been active on this campaign for years. Literally no story mentions Hodgins-May, every one mentions Pocock

Sorry about your friend

Did they have underlying conditions?

Maybe she should get some cholera to really boost her immune system 🙃

4.3% of people still have LC symptoms
