Well, if you have a bad comment that's going to get heavily downvoted, it's funny to see that not even you upvoted yourself. Like "yeah, even I think my opinion here stinks."

Am I going insane or did you remove your self-upvote?

Back in the day, some states would have less than one.

Relatively recently I learned about alt+` which switches between windows of the same type. Don’t know if this also works in Windows.

It does not.

Yo, sweet. On Windows, you can do Win+V to access clipboard history (brings up a prompt to enable it first.)

EDIT: Ooooooh, right over my head.

Starlink, isn't that the planetwide wi-fi initiative? Do they need those emissions to function? Other than the fact that it's from a corporation, it seems to me that internet connectivity across the whole planet would be more valuable to humanity as a whole than clearer views of space on one invisible part of the spectrum (which they can still watch from space if it's that important.)

Though the competition between multiple corps trying to launch satellites doesn't seem good, and it'd be nice if some FOSS initiative and/or intergovernment collaboration were to step in and make it one set of satellites free for everyone.

Strange. I think colons are the official way (as I'm just on default web lemm.ee,) so that might be something to contact your client's devs with.

FYI, spoilers don't work like Reddit (or at least not on my web client.) Try doing it the way Limfjorden did:

AnswerThree; one to hold the lightbulb and two to carry them while going in circles.

A lot of people in the US argue that the poor don’t deserve anything, any lack of money is a moral failing, and they don’t deserve any kind of help.

A bit of a reduction. It's not that being poor is a moral failing, but there is a mindset that if you don't have a job, it's your fault, and that if you have a job but are still poor, you're probably wasting money on drugs or something. It's not so much "they're poor because they're a bad person so I shouldn't help them" as "if I help them then they won't help themselves." Which is an easy position to hold if you don't consider how little the low-hanging jobs can pay, how much rent costs, how much food costs when you can't home-cook it, and how hard it is to get a job when you don't have a number, address, shower, or clean clothes.

And then there's a second group that thinks "Well, we have systems in place. There are homeless shelters somewhere, so they should be going there instead of begging on the streets." And they can be right, but you should probably do some research on said homeless shelters before you take that stance, in case it's too far away to walk, understaffed/underfunded, or poorly managed.

It's easy to think the poor don't need your help if you don't think on it too much, and to be fair, not everyone has the bandwidth and energy to be thinking on that. But at the end of the day, we have poor people, so those with means should be doing what they can to help.

Reaching that second field of hogs under the conversation felt kind of ominous.

I've seen this one before, but the alt text had me in a (silent) laughing fit anyways.
