Stalin made a mistake in not annexing Finland.

Fuck that. There's no good reason to let it just die. Call a wildlife preserve and ask for instructions*. If they say that same bullshit (they probably won't), then take it in, feed it, try to asses if it's hurt, and look up ways to help it heal.

If it survives but is no longer able to be wild for some reason (because being healed kills some instinct or some bullshit?), you have a pet now. Better than it being fucking dead. If it dies, you had a net zero affect anyway.

* this thread's outcome of "it's seems like it's ok, let it be while keeping an eye on it", is probably exactly what they'd tell you in this case.

Literally the only thing that could live up to that is a nuke hitting Tel Aviv.

That or the non-violence has to be an alternative to a looming violence.

When Hitler occupied Europe, he met the first resistance in Ukraine.

Ukrainians still showing contempt for Poles despite Poland's help.

What are the odds the first post-war Ukrainian neo-Nazi blowback happens in Poland?

Then focus on the companies’ actions instead of the robots.

The 1970s shock was the nail in the coffin for the then established economic policy (Keynesianism). So if we get another shock, hopefully it will finally kill off neoliberalism.

If you get extra scroll bars in weird places, there's a decent chance this would work instead:

body {
    overflow-y: auto;
}

I’m guessing :remove() actually removes the element from the page and normally uBlock Origin just hides it. But yeah, it makes sense that it would mess up other styling.

Stylus is useful to have in general since it lets you tweak any site to your liking. Even on here I have a style that indents nested comments more so I can more easily discern the levels. Although you do have to deal with CSS or find someone who has already written what you want.

nytimes.com##STYLE[data-lights="css"]

might work. If not, look through the css and find what might be doing it (if you don’t know how, paste it here and I might be able to find it), then use Stylus to override it.

A brute force method:

* {
    overflow-y: auto !important;
}

in Stylus might fix it, unless they’re doing something more complicated. But it might also add scrollbars in weird places.

Wow, the game is even shittier than I expected.

 

So glad we’ve spent millions of dollars and unfathomable amounts of energy to give computers the ability to talk to each other over the phone. Something that definitely didn’t exist before now.

How have we taken the most autistic job and tacked a stupid, worthless, autistic unfriendly process on to it? (the answer of course is capitalism)

I want to quit but I can't get another job and even if I could it would just be more of this shit.

 

I wanted to block Google's shitty AI results. Ok it looks like I can add &udm=14 to the url to do that.

Let me just add a custom search engine in Firefox... oh wait apparently you can't add custom search engines anymore. You have to install an extension for that.

Ok I found an extension that does it but it makes Firefox say "search with [extension name]" instead of "search with Google" and the icon is different which is annoying.

Should be an easy fix, just download the extension's source and modify the manifest.json to name it "Google" and change the icon to Google's.

Alright now let's install it and... "This add-on could not be installed because it has not been verified." Wtf I have to sign my own add-ons just to use locally?

Fine whatever download the shitty npm program to sign the add-on (it downloaded 400 dependencies btw). Oh wait I need an API key to sign the add-on to use it locally. I'm not getting a fucking API key to run local code.

Oh good there's actually an about:config setting to disable add-on signing... and it doesn't work anymore.

screm-a AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Is there a good Firefox fork that undoes this bullshit but otherwise keeps up with the main codebase and isn't a pain to switch to?
