Especially from the front or back. It's hard to even comprehend that it's a car. I was very shocked the first time I saw one.

I mean it's by design. Megacorporations put retail workers and customer service on the front lines to bear the brunt of the anger at their shitty policies. People who have no power to change anything.

 

Last year, banks quickly raised interest rates to record levels and added new monthly fees on credit cards when a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rule threatened a key revenue source for the industry.

Now, they’re far more reluctant to reverse those steps, even after bank trade groups succeeded in killing the CFPB rule in federal court last month.

Synchrony and Bread Financial, two of the biggest players in the business of issuing branded credit cards for the likes of Amazon , Lowe’s and Wayfair

, are keeping the higher rates in place, executives said in recent conference calls.

“We feel pretty comfortable that the rule has been vacated,” Synchrony CEO Brian Doubles said on April 22. “With that said, we don’t currently have plans to roll anything back in terms of the changes that we made.”

Sounds like it includes mammals in the cladistic sense though. So pre-mammals?

That picture looks awfully mammalian

Incidentally I don't think this is actually evolution; more learned behavior. They repeat the tone we respond to the most. My cat also bites my foot when he wants attention because he has learned that it's hard for me to ignore.

Just throwing this out there....you can just hop over to another instance and voila! No bans.

(This seems like a flaw in the fediverse model, given how easy it is to instance hop.)

You can do math without a computer, it turns out.

We're going to have mass extinctions of birds due to climate change. Migratory birds are going to be seriously fucked. It's pretty sad.

Turns out the current administration is not huge on accountability. I'm shocked.

I gather this is meant to be a showy piece used by some rich dude.

No system should ever be mean to the players by design, that's just bad GMing.

Just ignoring Paranoia.

I dunno I think most babies are pretty ugly

 
 

Posting a screenshot of the interface when I'm typing a comment reply as an example. I have large thumbs and I have to scale the keyboard up pretty high to be able to type. Thunder has what I would call a lot of wasted space in comment reply mode. The button bar could be hidden (it's not something I really use) and either the header text could be shrunk or omitted entirely. Just making the header scroll rather than being fixed could work as well. This would probably be a good use case for floating action buttons. There's basically only two things I care about when typing a comment reply: seeing the text I'm typing, and referencing the text I'm replying to. Would love some options that allow me to maximize the space used.

 

Sadly I think I'm finally ready to put Sync out to pasture since it isn't maintained.
