Half of us adults can't read at a 6th grade level. I think many of those can only do so if they really try, and mostly coast by in a haze

They want to emphasize certain words, but don't really have the confidence and writing skills to do so in other ways

and a few of the worst offenders (Google is one that I know does this) add a random string of characters on the element that serve as a unique identifier that periodically changes and so requires me to readd them to my UBO blocklist.

Does ubo accept css selectors? Css has syntax for "match element that starts with, ends with, or contains, this string"

Republican view is "don't tread on me. Tread on you"

Paradox of tolerance, for one thing.

"Two of things may share one property, but that does not mean they share all properties" for another. Like a surgeon and a serial killer both cut people open, but they are not the same.

Poe's law is strong, here.

Why does this post have so many Nazi apologists?

You compared the OP's damaging of a contemporary concentration camp hat to destroying a rainbow flag, weren't you? The alligator Alcatraz thing isn't literally a 1930s Nazi, but it's extremely similar.

Just to be clear if you ran a peace and love shop would you be fine with someone pulling some rainbow flag merch off the shelves to stomp on it before leaving without paying?

Nazi stuff is in no way comparable to rainbow flags. We all have a moral duty to fight Nazis and their collaborators.

Twitter is a Nazi bar.

I knew a guy who lived in rich suburbs and bought a gun because he "heard a drug deal went down" and he "wanted to protect his daughter". People are stupid and even more so when scared.

Half of US adults can't read at a 6th grade level. This is haunting.

Some strikingly high percentage can't complete complicated tasks on a computer (eg: find 3 user email addresses and add them to a spreadsheet).

Reading the manual is good advice but I think some people are just left behind

that she had no idea that there was any risk to drinking the milk

Did this person not take 9th grade history?

The ignorance and stupidity of people is astounding

The world of darkness games can run like this. If you play new vampires, there's going to be a whole political landscape that is at best neutral to you. Same with Mage. The other types probably also, but I don't know them as well.

It does have a paradoxical element in that your character will be a big fish as far as the mundane world is considered. A freshly statted vampire or mage is far more powerful than a mundane person.

It does have paths for players to become big fish, too

I think you just circle around him while slashing, and optionally set him on fire?

Using a predictive text tool instead of showing the Wikipedia summary is a downgrade.

I would build homes, trains, bus lines, and green power.

And also make sure the water fountains in the park actually work year round.

I like the game but I never finished it. I got pretty far when setting it to checkpoint mode, but lost interest near the end.

I don't really understand the game in detail so I don't know all the good builds. Extra legs and guns seemed strong.

Yeah, that would help. There's also the smaller risk of "I was going to click on something else, and this new window popped in under the mouse"

I think some applications also don't accept input for the first couple seconds to prevent this. I vaguely remember something that had the dialogue boxes count down from 5 before you could click or keyboard-interact them.

Feels like the kind of problem with a lot of edge cases, but even catching 70% of the problems would be a big improvement

That sounds psychosomatic but I'm not a professional. You take care of yourself.

I hate focus stealing so I might set mine to strict, now that I know that's an option.

It's an absolute nightmare to be typing, some dialogue box pops up, and I accidentally accept it by hitting spacebar without even seeing what it was.
