Most people probably don't have a signed contract with GMail.

I haven't checked the EULA but they likely have sole discretion around dropping / blocking email, especially any email that might be deleterious to Google Alphabet's business.

I thought they had successfully converted around the time they got the infusion of funds from MS. I thought they were started as a not-for-profit, but were already shady-as-shit when they stopped publishing stuff under open licenses.

I got a 2019b Volt, but I haven't needed to put gas in it since March.

I hope it lasts another 10 years. (It replaced a 2004 (or 3?) Saturn Ion that I bought new and drove even after insurance totaled it, and the transmission lasted less than a year after I sold the Saturn.)

There are plenty of places where they don't lie to you about PTO benefits, pay, and have some group insurance plan/program.

I think your post might be illegal speech in most of the U.S. as inciting violence. Take care of yourself.

The joke swap is a frequent feature, but it's not a universal property of Weekend Update.

That rate seems high. But, I have done post-mortems on a bad developer's run at a company, and found they did very nearly nothing. No commits, no issues opened or closed, some comments, but that was almost their entire digital footprint.

Most developers I've worked with are obviously not doing nothing, though some of us (including myself) get stuck doing a lot of work on a project that never makes it into production due to shifting priorities.

They are still U S. citizens, just not citizens of any state. Same thing can happen if you are born in DC or a military base not in a state.

American Samoans are the ones that really get screwed. They are just U S. nationals. All the responsibilities of citizens (including the draft when it exists) but not all of the benefits.

They won't do it, but it would be baller to set it up like a debate, and have the moderator prompt the empty Trump lecturn and have the camera hold on it for 5-10 seconds each time. It would effectively just be a Kamala campaign interview, but with a bit of shade casting between each question.
