Same! So happy to see I’m not the only one. Blue light regulates our sleep cycle by inhibiting melatonin production. During the daytime, I need my bright lighting.

I was thinking it’s like the LinkedIn version of yahoo answers

Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, and Texas do not pay incarcerated workers at all for their labor.

This only adds to your point, but I wanted to include that several states (in the South of course) do in fact pay absolutely NOTHING for their prison labor.

Some areas may pay prisoners minimum wage for work release jobs, but I believe many of those can turn around and garnish those same wages for room and board at the prison. It’s ridiculous. The second you make more than a dime for your labor, we will start charging you for the right to live again.

His last election was the most competitive of his career.

The public in general leans pro-choice, so Republicans are absolutely losing support with their insane anti-abortion policies even if it isn’t obvious yet.

He’s also been in national headlines a lot lately for his extremism. He has always been horrible, but he has never been so visible for it.

Next election, he will be hanging on by voter suppression, a wish, and a prayer.

What worries me though is why he’s gone off the deep end already if he still believes he needs to get re-elected…

I don’t really care that I’m getting downvoted, but I am surprised?

I probably could have given more context, but I made this comment in good faith and genuinely think this will be an issue for him given the last several days.

Even if the majority of the country is in support of supporting Israel at this time, the IDF is committing verifiable war crimes against civilians, which the UN is criticizing. Supporting that both in words and funding is going to make it hard for a lot of people to vote for Biden who would have otherwise just to avoid any chance of Trump getting elected.

There’s been pro-Palestine protests all across the country this weekend. I’m seeing a lot of anger for him in other areas online from people who claim to have voted for him; more than I’ve seen since he was elected. I’ll be interested to see how support for him is in polls and surveys in a few weeks.

I could be wrong, but I think this will be one of his biggest hurdles next year when running for reelection.

He’s going to need it after openly supporting a genocide that a lot of Americans are waking up to.

They are pretty much the sole reason I still use instagram daily. Fantastic content

Yeah at my alma mater the “dining dollars” only covered pretty overpriced crap.

My degree program -> required to be full time and live on campus in specific dorm buildings-> the specific dorm buildings required you to purchase one of the two highest meal plans.

So just to complete specific programs you had to spend $1,000+ a semester on a meal plan for pretty terrible food that you would never see the value of, even if you didn’t want it.

And on top of that, you’re likely paying far more for all of it in the long term via student loan interest.

That made it all the more infuriating to me when my limited set amount of “dining dollars” in the plan (usually $100) only covered stuff like a $4 bag of fruit snacks or a $3 snack-sized bag of potato chips. This was back in 2015 too.

For profit higher education is greaaat.

I primarily use Firefox, but the big one for me and the reason I haven’t completely deleted Chrome is being able to create shortcuts with the “Open in a new window” option for specific URLs. Granted I’m not very tech savvy (just a little more aware than the average user) and primarily use a mac for my personal computer atm, but that feature is a game changer for me. As far as I know, other popular browsers don’t offer it currently.

It’s really useful for when there isn’t a download or iOS app for a specific site/service, or when the web app is much better than the app or download option and I still want to be able to use it like a separate app from my browser.

I also wasn’t able to download any software that wasn’t on the Apple App Store with my work computer for my previous employer (super annoying, but I kind of get it). So it was essential if I wanted to have a separate and dedicated app/window at all for my work calendar, email, etc.

I love how I can visually organize the web apps I like to use separately from my browser, to save time and energy for daily use. I can customize the name and shortcut icon, pin them to my dock, organize them in folders in my launchpad, and even set them to launch on startup if I want. Not sure if there are reasonably easy ways to mimic this with Firefox, but I haven’t found any yet.
