I think "100,000s of dollars" is cursed too. If you want to use that phrasing, just spell out "hundreds of thousands".

Yes, that's the point. Class warfare is real—it's just that most of one side hasn't realized it's happening.

I'd bet it actually simplifies as least as many things as it breaks. Basically all computers already keep track of time as a count of seconds since a UTC epoch anyway, and then do timezone conversions on top of that.

Based on the context, I'm assuming you meant condemn, not condone...

This is not it. What an abhorrent and sadistic take.

Here's a handy tip for the future: if you find yourself writing a sentence that goes "I really hope [...] poor people [...] suffer greatly", maybe reconsider posting it.

Huh? In what world is it ableist to advocate for/promote the use of a real accessibility feature over a workaround that doesn't work on all platforms on which people might be seeing this content??

I can guarantee you that is not the argument that anyone not voting for Harris because of Gaza was using.

I am pretty sure Ubuntu is still far and away the most popular desktop distro. For servers I would have guessed it was something like RedHat/CentOS or possibly Debian.

In my head I have always thought it was YOO-fee, similar to the beginning of "Europe"...

Huh? It's referenced by name right there in the screenshot...

I think it's correct as-is. Inserting a "were" would make that clause read as independent. With how the sentence is currently structured, that doesn't work.

That's not to say you couldn't have

The tracks are now unruley [sic] and wild—the people once tied to them were killed in crosswalks by giant trucks

if you want, but the comma needs to change to something like a dash or a semicolon. With a comma (i.e., as a subordinate clause), "were" doesn't make sense.
