Don't feed the trolls.

They don't care about the topic, they don't care about the facts or a logical debate. They only care about getting a reaction out of you. Don't give them what they want.

Today was my first day back from vacation. So many emails... I just kept scrolling through all the unread and felt defeated. I allowed myself extra distractions today while trying to at least prioritize things, but it ended up being a surprisingly productive day somehow. On to tomorrow.

You know, I feel like lately every other article in that paper is an advertisement for Quarks

Hahah no, there's nobody driving the bus

Thank you! I noticed the usual feelings of dread creeping in already

No need for the \s. That is literally how they did this "study". I'd be interested to see who it was that paid for this bullshit, wouldn't be surprised to see the money trail leading back to commercial real estate.

The article boasts the headline front and center % productivity loss, as though this was some years long extensive study. The section of the report discussing these results is less than two paragraphs long. I've seen high school students put together a more detailed a well researched study.

What bothers me the most is that people will readily reference this article and spread this bullshit everywhere, with basically no one having read the study or put any critical thinking into this at all.

But he looks ever so polite, he must have his cheese!

A few have mentioned Hereditary already so I'll give an honorable mention to Dark Skies with Keri Russel.

Yeah, they sent me an email basically saying "we're sorry" with no offer for free credit monitoring or anything.

Thanks so much for sharing that web comic, I loved it!

So now they've confirmed existing basic plan members are also being targeted "in the near future". No problem, I've saved them the trouble for myself. I had mostly stopped using it by now anyway, not even worth the $10/month I was wasting on it

I'm imagining their lawyer pulling out their wallet at the hearing and thumbing through their singles to pay the fine.

$5k is absolutely nothing for a typical law firm, lunch money
