They really went the extra mile on the scam to put a boat on the bottom of the sea. Say what you will, but you gotta give it to them for their commitment to the bit.

Right, the rendering engine is the same, that's still not the browser. Again, just because it's a derivative browser doesn't make it the same browser.

Since your friend is still a student, they should try to see if they can get in with your school's IT department.

I started my it career working for my school's IT department first answering phones, then doing desk side work. That job is actually what got me my first real job in the industry. Since then I've jobbed hob multiple times and have effectively quadrupled my original salary (6 figures), all in under a decade.

They're the same browser though.

They actually aren't the same browser, since MS rips out some stuff and adds their own. Including features I like tree style tabs.

It's a similar and derivative browser, but they aren't the same.

There are more similarities than differences.

You can say the same about tons of things, but the differences are what matters. You and I share more similarities than differences, just like the browsers, but we aren't the same person.

And also many people still believe that if you criticize their "meme browser" made by the cool "don't be evil" company, you're a Microsoft shill forcing them to use IE, that is buggy and slow

Which I find absolutely hilarious, as Edgemium is a better browser than chrome. I still use Firefox first and foremost, but at work when I have to use something else, it performs better and has better features IMO.

The Israelis solidly lost a war to keep their land in the BC era, then after WWII, leaders decided to undo the loss, again by force.

That was clearly imperialism because my ancestors had never lived there, and had no claim to the land. We just wanted it. At best, we thought we could make better use of it than the natives. That was not the case with Israel, whose ancestors largely were the natives.

Absolutely fucking unhinged.

You can't get kicked out of a land 2000 years ago and claim you're still the natives. Israel has 0 claim to the land aside from their religious mythos, and the "christians" are supporting this for similar reasons since their mythos suggests that the second coming is after Israel holds the land.

AT BEST this is imperialism using religion as the excuse (you know, fairly standard imperialism). But claiming it's not imperialism is still carrying water for a genocidal ethnostate trying to handwave away the fact they're stealing land and slaughtering natives while still trying to play the victim.

Eh, I think 'because math' is a better description than idk, since we do kinda know why (math models), we just don't necessarily know why (the models work that way) if that makes sense.

"because math" got it.

Is .... Is their banner supposed to invoke an instant thought of the Nazis?

While polio wasn't around while I was a child my aunt's uncle's parents knew someone who had polio while they were growing up.

Well yeah, if you go back to your grandparents' generation you're gonna see polio because you're taking 30s and 40s. My grandfather talked about it too, but my parents' generation didn't.

and photons are their own anti-particle.

How are they their own anti-particle? Because they destructively interfere or something?

Can you imagine back then? Your neighbor could light up and there was nothing you could do but sit there and stew in the smoke stream

It wasn't just flying. I grew up in the 90s, and you could smoke in so many places, it was awful. I was so happy listening to my mother bitch and complain when they banned smoking in establishments entirely. I could finally breathe, and she had to go outside to keep killing herself (unless we were at home or in the car, in which case there was still nothing I could do but stew in the smoke).
