This is the most accurate take I have yet seen.

There’s a big difference between doing something in a lab and mass producing it for millions of people.

People who vote for law and order or over things like “crime” that are displaced from the real statistics are fucking morons and will always vote their emotions.

quote from Eugene Debs

I had to look that one up. Good reference.

Did you see that silly article with Gov. Abbot of TX indicating that people who left NYC would have to pay a tariff to enter TX?

Because police actions are a matter of public record. It’s why small town newspapers will print all the mugshots for the week.

Now do infer versus imply.

They don’t mean the same thing. Effect means to actively change something. Affect means to have passively receive a change.

Affect

I hadn’t known that this was a method. My entire workflow has been changed.

I was never able to figure a way to do this. I could link to the executable but not modify the shortcut to allow for flags.

Didn’t this already happen? I feel like it’s been the default for a long time now.

On Windows, I had two shortcuts–one each for a profile. It became my workflow and annoyed me when I couldn’t do that on a Mac. I didn’t always want my work profile to open by mistake, check into systems, etc. when I only wanted the home one, for instance.

I might try this next time I launch. Just launch one, go into profiles, and launch the second one.

And Argentina is already in BRICS.

ITT: People who only use Windows and don’t realize that FF works differently on other systems.

This only works on Windows. For Macs and maybe Linux, you have to run this command to bring up a different profile:

/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -p

As best I can tell, there’s no way to make this into a shortcut that you could just click on. This change will be good and allow me to launch them without invoking that command in terminal several times after rebooting my computer.

AFAIK there are rarely whales born in captivity and nearly all were stolen from their pods and thrown into a swimming pool.

LOL I still have an account on Off Topic but have no reason to ever use it again.

Apparently the people who live there are sick of it all and are starting to push back. Should be interesting to see if there are new laws or regulations.
