I’m actually shocked at how many comments want random behaviors they don’t like to be “against the law.” How about you just learn to deal and we keep illegality to things that actually matter?

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

What do you think they consider politics? Is it politics when my coworkers ask if Portland is burning, outing themselves as exclusive Fox News viewers? Is politics discussing tariffs and how bad the economic policy is? Ignoring it isn’t working in my workplace.

I attempted to read Abundance. After 2 chapters I couldn’t take the authors continually disproving their own thesis. Should have been a high school essay called it “I Irrationally Hate California Zoning.” C- at best. D- for the pronunciation of “housing” in the audio book.

Honestly, I love all the EST people complaining about having to stay up late. Maybe you’ll remember that next time you think about scheduling meetings with your PST colleagues at 5am.

SNAP food benefits have never stopped during a government shutdown. The only difference this time is the admin's refusal to use USDA contingency funds that kept the program running in every past shutdown.
