I prefer the "Darth Jar Jar" and "The Bloop" levels of conspiracy theories.

They might be in one of the 35-40 states where their vote doesn't matter anyway.

National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is only 72 Electoral Votes away from being enacted, but it's getting harder and harder...

I'm not at home to check at the moment, but I think it's Jobs Filterer for LinkedIn by Jonathan Kamens. Lets you prefilter with regex for like company or job title, and give you a button to manually hide specific listings as well.

I was looking on LinkedIn recently, had to get an extension just to hide all those, really cleaned up my search results after a while.

I'm thinking either he used it as a canteen to carry more water further, or as a rain barrel to capture it, not just as a cup to drink from at places where water was readily available.

For something I'm paying for, I want no ads, recommended or otherwise.

For something I get for free, if it's easily skippable/ignorable, I don't really care, I'll skip it or mute the tab or whatever. If I can't, I'd rather have a like sniper level targeted ad (use all the data!), really try to show me something I'll care about (there was some like 10 minutes ad about the science behing glass by one of the guys from MythBusters, I watched the whole ad, it was great). The demographic level targeted ads are my 2nd least favorite, mostly because it feels like I usually need to suffer through what is a targeted ad but if they bothered to exclude some of the audience based on some data points (looking at you luxury car ads, it's just never going to happen), they'd know I'm a bad target, I'd rather some generic add over those. My least favorite ad though, when I get an ad in a language I don't even understand, like at least match my primary language, wasting everyone's time...

There are women who intentionally choose to be a single parent. Like they're single, they get a sperm donor, have a kid. It's not some insane thing. Kids should have a supportive and caring environment, whomever raises them. Not every kid with a single caregiver is neglected, nor is every kid with 2 or more caregivers properly cared for.

maybe they can create some category that makes it clear that it's folk medicine.

We call folk medicine that's proven to work "medicine".

They're giving Ukraine $50B, as a loan. They're repaying the loan at a rate of $3B/yr using the seized interest payments.
