One of their mods literally was a 20 hour work week dog walker who wanted to work less.

Not to mention the scams. I have tinnitus, and google knows that, so I get snake oil tinnitus ads all the time.

Seriously, if someone cures that, they won’t need to be advertising on YouTube.

huh. Maybe that’s why watching this on mobile safari with vinegar installed has been really flaky lately.

Yep. That was the point I became what he calls a ”whiny “ person and deleted my account.

Is being a complete crackpot a requirement for being a CEO nowadays?

Dang. You are just full of good news. That’s my VPN too!

Freenode went down the crapper? Dang. I used to use them a lot back when I didn’t know anything about Linux

I hope so.
