You’re either trolling or too stubborn to evaluate new information that might change your position.

Medicare For All is not free healthcare, as in on the government’s dime, it is entirely paid for by taxes. (Unless you actually object to free healthcare as in being able to go to the hospital when you need it for free, which is too ludicrous to be sincere.) The only reason it seems “free” is that the total operating cost of the system without the middleman of private insurance is significantly lower than our existing healthcare spending.

Most households would significantly increase their spending power throughout the year by eliminating healthcare premiums, deductibles, copays, and prescription costs in excess of $200 a year, and would only see a smaller increase at tax time. Those who would be paying more in total are very wealthy households who would be paying primarily at tax time, and frankly many of those households have not been paying their fair share of taxes already, so I find it hard to see that as a bad thing.

“What do you tell someone to type when you want them to send you an email?” should work if the person has irl or phone social connections, which is still the case for a lot of older folks

have you tried plain soda water? the carbonation might make it interesting enough to be drinkable even though it’s flavorless. if you get a drinkmate or something like that it’s fairly cheap to make at home

So you’re having trouble relaxing before bed?

I would recommend either finding a book you like to read before bed, or perhaps if you are so inclined, doodle or sketch. Something that requires focus, but isn’t intense, so you will still be able to tell when your body is ready to rest.

Only other thing I can think of is the specific mobile device/browser combo isn’t properly requesting the desktop site. Or there is somehow an entirely separate sharing option that is functioning differently

Then I would question whether the file was shared correctly by the uploader. I shared a file from my Dropbox, setting it so anyone with the link could view, and was able to download it from desktop view on mobile Firefox (in incognito mode)

There is an option to require a password to view the file, is there any possibility that that was set in your case?

If you were to look at the average cloud storage usage per user, split by free or paid, I think you would find that free users are using rather less space in total than you’d expect

But I agree, I did some of their cute ARG stuff for extra space when they were still acting like a startup and otherwise haven’t paid them a cent.

That’s pretty scummy. It doesn’t require login on desktop view.

Two workarounds:

1. enable desktop view, then you can close the login prompt and zoom way in to find the actual download button
2. easier, change dl=0 to dl=1 at the end of the URL and it will bypass all of that and download directly.

I feel like you maybe should replace those…

Twitch probably doesn’t care beyond reputational damage/liability.

a settled lawsuit between Twitch and Beahm, where neither party admitted to any wrongdoing, and his contract was paid.

In fact it sounds like Twitch made an effort to keep it quiet, which was successful until these former employees spoke out (hope they don’t suffer consequences)

Edit to add: Which is not to say there couldn’t be separate consequences. It’s just not going to come from Twitch. I’m sure a certain three letter agency is quite a bit more interested in Beahm now.

Abortion should be illegal because it violates the UDHR.

This is an (unsubstantiated) allegation of fact, not an opinion.

Nobody said we had to send them with life support

Yeah Domino’s is one of those places that the price with a coupon, is the regular price. And the food’s not terribly worth it even then IMO.

For the sake of this wild fantasy, yeah. I’m not gonna be too picky

Who’s to say commandment #11 wasn’t “lmao jk ok but for real just these four things:”

I love this because what if actually? What if there’s literally a buzzfeed tier list of five things to do we’re missing for a utopian society? And mankind fucked it like we always do.

I take back the benefit of the doubt I gave in my earlier reply. This reply is as unhinged as the Navy SEAL copypasta. You need mental health support.

I think your problem is here:

You should test this out for yourself as I’m not going to take days or a week making a great presentation of a technical case.

You’ve written a whole lot to try to be convincing but ultimately stopped short of actually proving what you’ve alleged. It looks to me you are frustrated that no one is taking you at your word and going down this rabbit hole themselves, when the various reputational elements you’re relying on are going to be important only to a minority of users. Burden of proof works how it always has, however.

Hmmmm. Well, I didn’t have anything particular in mind. I think it’s probable that as the sophistication of these technologies continues to grow, they’re going to have enough data points to start surfacing patterns too subtle for humans to readily notice. And I would also imagine that, even though it’s a regurgitation machine, you would still want to see what happens if you try to have some experts throw the unsolved problems of their fields at it.

Stuff like that is probably ongoing, and, maybe this is me being a cynic, but if suddenly paradigm shifts were made by a private company, I would probably expect an effort to keep it quiet for a while. To do a risk assessment, or maybe just to gain advantage.

I really hope it turns out to be a clown show.

I’m afraid of the minuscule chance that something really big is already behind the scenes being worked on
