I did, and I disagree with their decisions.

I can condense their article down to "we need money, and we can get it through ads, so we built our own ad network to preserve privacy".

But I don't like that. This decision does not exist in a vacuum. This comes after a number of other decisions leading me to believe they are shifting priority to making a profit. Telemetry being opt-out, pocket, selling ads on home screen, ...

This is the icing on a shit cake and I'm sorry, Mozilla destroyed their value proposition about half way into their chain of bad decisions.

If you still wanna use Firefox, fine. I don't care about that. I don't understand why, but that's ok, it's your god damn decision. But I wanna alert everyone else that Mozilla is not who they used to be and it's time to reevaluate why you use the browser you do.

Saying this is an ignorant take is invalidating all the experiences I've had configuring Firefox back to being privacy friendly, and I don't appreciate you calling me ignorant for that. If you disagree, that's fair, but you can do it without attacking my credibility. And doing so by giving actual reasons would definitely help your case.

Been called an idiot for saying that I wouldn't trust Firefox as far as I can throw it like 2 months ago after they made telemetry opt out.

I can't believe that someone who is privacy conscientious would just stick to their guns rather than watching out for their privacy.

I just hope someone else picks up the shards and runs with it and then we can all just focus on making them better instead of getting riled up over a god damn browser lol.

Been following this band for a while now and every now and again they release a banger.

They never draw huge numbers which doesn't make sense to me given their songs.

No.

I guess the only way it factors in is if I knew she has more experience / is in a different stage of life with relationships.

But that's got to do with age and maturity more than anything.

You might not wanna hear this:

Depends on your definition of radfem and on how well we fit and how they are

  • if we don't match, nah
  • if their vibe is completely off to the point I'm not sure I'll be alive after that week, nah
  • if their beliefs get in the way of a relationship, nah

Otherwise sure I guess? This a really vague question so if you are more specific, I could get you a better answer.

Reading the comments on this makes me realize how often we think about animals, considering we apparently have thousands of different ways to categorize them, even if it's more by vibe than anything else...

One of the bigger cities in Germany.

We have a mayor for our district, who is basically a blank slate to 95% of people. It doesn't help that he lives together with his family in a different district. He is a member of one of our political parties and specifically one I don't particularly like.

For some reason I was in the same school class with his son, who was pretty chill, but got very annoying when it came to politics (of course).

So basically the mayor does a lot of city management stuff but the average person has no clue who he is or what exactly he does.

I would imagine that's very unique compared to most other countries but I'm not sure.

I got a very light tendency to sensory overload but to me it's not a pain, I respond to annoying sounds, and I am a little bit more sensitive and have a little bit stronger reactions to it. And when I get overloaded, my brain kinda shuts off, I can't reason, I get very angry and I can't properly communicate anymore.

Imagine someone is punching you randomly every minute but you can't do anything about it. You start getting irrational. That's the exact feeling.

What I'm saying is, what OP's describing is very different and they should definitely see a doctor about it, because even for a sensory condition it doesn't sound normal.

  • nothing. I have autism. There's nothing wrong with me, but I'm obviously a little bit different like other people, which in itself is neither good nor bad.

  • because we need a descriptor and that's just what my friends use; we know what we mean with it and what we don't.

Also I'm gonna take those questions at face value, but I'm just gonna note the first question is a bit out out of left field, as no one implied that something's wrong with that.

But I don't wanna assume you are an asshole, so I'm gonna take it as a misunderstanding.

Let's go through examples:

"He's retarded" - that's a slur, unless it's ironic.

"That was retarded" - not a slur, cause it's kinda taking a dig at an action, not a person.

"I'm retarded" - technically a slur but almost always used with a hint of irony, therefore usually not a slur.

That's how I use the word with my friends. And I have autism, so technically 100 years ago I would have been the resident retard ;)
