You just sprayed links all over, expecting me to fish through that data? From what I can tell, your data shows mediocre growth that has barely kept pace with inflation. Half the links you show are for "median" values, which will always increase in an economy that is growing (as it did under the Obama years). It's fact that the middle class as stagnated as the ultra-wealth have gained immensely over the past decades, no amount of FUD will make your argument factual. I'm not arguing any further with someone who argues in bad faith.

>diversity of scientific, not cultural views

Your cultural views can affect your scientific work. The imagination of children in America vs. China is different, people have different dreams and experiences, etc. I am constantly baffled by people like yourself who don't understand that cultural diversity IS diversity of ideas. Whether that culture comes from your location, race, upbringing, wealth, religion, or something else, any sort of diversity is good in business or other organization as it helps you think of new ways to innovate within your area of expertise.

I normally use "git push --fo<TAB>" or "git push --fo<UP ARROW>" in zsh, but after seeing the switch option "--force-with-lease" pop up each time I've memorized it now. I let my CLI do the work for me most of the time, but when I can't there's always "man COMMAND". After doing anything a bunch of times, you remember it.

Several sites do that now, it's annoying and you sometimes cannot even get back to the previous article. I like to read the text on my screen near the top of my browser, so I scroll constantly as I read, and for these sites I continually scroll off the end of the article into the next one before I have finished the last vertical page of text due to the way I read. I'm not changing the way I read content due to these shitty sites, so I guess I will never finish one of their articles.

I don't get the "extra letters" argument as a Computer Scientist. Most of my time is spent figuring out what I'm going to do before I type anything, whether that's research, staring at code for hours to see how it works, or something else. I could type 3x as many characters each day and would probably only work an extra 10 minutes per day. Maybe I'm the exception, but I don't like brevity for brevity sake.

I use `--force-with-lease` instead of `--force` or `-f` because it ensures that if someone happened to push before me it would fail and I could manage that manually. Even on branches that no one "should" be touching other than me, it seems safer to type the extra characters `-` and `orce-with-lease` around the `-f`.

It's on mobile. I haven't tested it much, but I'm really not interested in doing so. I only keep Google Maps because my wife and I like to share locations, which I am trying to do via some direct method between our phones eventually anyways.

Yep, Google Maps still shows my home and work locations on the Commute tab from before I disabled almost everything in my Google account, but won't let me change the work address since we moved locations. So I guess when I change houses (the only one I really care about, since I use it to send an ETA to my wife) I can just turn everything on, change the address, then turn it all off again. It's illogical dark patterns like this that made me start detaching from Google, and will probably drive me to buy a non-Android phone next time, although I detest Apple UI even if their quality is usually great.
