TD Bank (the 10th largest bank in the US) was fined 3BN USD for their role in an international money laundering scheme in Oct of this year.

Trump told Gretzky to run for Prime Minister?

This guy just putting pepperoni on the chess-board and calling it a mate. And somehow, he's the leader of the free world?

Dark patterns will eventually force advertisements into anything that reliably catches your attention.

I stopped paying attention to notification icons ages ago, and I haven't missed any important notifications.

Billionaires who own the means of production trying to own the means of communication as well.

When they can't, they'll own the government, and outlaw it.

It's like poetry.

You own what is on your machine, that you save locally.

With the context of the quote, I"m curious what the pattern you've identified is.

I used to arrive promptly at 7am, and clock out at 3:30pm.

The bus to the office was always empty.

The bus home was always packed.

Now I work from home

You just won the thread.

I'm sad they're not videos, but what a treasure trove.

Greetings from suburban Calgary, where we are currently both sprawling, and under a stage 4 water advisory for the month as our water feed main ruptured in June.

I split an RCA cable so my brother and I could play on 2 old Commodore 64 monitors, each half-covered with construction paper.

As a habitual lurker, this is amazing. I can keep abreast if my local town subreddit without loading their horrendous mobile site. Bravo.
