That's not true, you can be legally deaf and still be able to hear (a bit), just like you can be legally blind and still be able to see (a bit)

This is a Demetri Martin joke

This post reads like someone took a bunch of Adderall and went through Wikipedia for hours but didn't actually understand anything they read. Drink some water and get some sleep, bud.

I'll save you a click. The story has pretty much nothing to do with the "coding whiz", just a boring recollection of a guy's occasional work on a ship. The only reference to the coding whiz's inappropriate insult was

at work drinks he loudly asked the boss if he was still having an affair with a colleague – in front of the entire office and the boss's wife, who had come in for the occasion.

I think my personal favorite is Omnium Gatherum, but it has some ups and downs. Nonagon Infinity is pretty much flawless from top to bottom (and back to top)

I primarily use DDG, but the vast majority of people I talk to (including other tech savvy people) use Google. I feel like "search" is too generic (search where?), but "search the internet" is weird. And saying "Bing it" or "Duck it" or whatever just sounds overly contrarian. But if I say "Google it", people know exactly what I mean.

So yes, I will "Google where to buy some bandaids" by searching DDG for adhesive bandages.

Well this is kind of a no brainer, but my asthma has been significantly less prevalent since I stopped smoking/vaping weed. I have exercise induced asthma, and when I smoked or vaped every day, any amount of physical activity could potentially set it off. Now, it only ever bothers me if I perform intense cardio physical activity particularly in the cold, so I just avoid that as much as I can

I don't speak French natively but I happen to know their version of lol is "mdr", short for mort de rire (dying of laughter)

Any fans of The Neighborhood Listen? I think this might be one of Doug's estranged kids

Interesting. I have always used their web app (even on mobile, i just use their pwa instead of the native app since the native app is missing obvious features), and I haven't had any issues, but I can definitely understand the frustration if you want to use anything else. OP, keep that in mind if you're thinking about Proton!
