I have a user agent switcher add-on and many times I just have it spoof my user agent to be Google bot. the internet suddenly works as it is supposed to

FYI, you can only have 5 accounts per IP, so don't lose them (or just use a proxy to make a new account)

I just get a 502 error

it's a shame that there is not a transcript. with regard to her questions about if Facebook would remove false ads from politicians, I wonder why she has no problem with phone companies letting people say illegal things on the phone line.

are quotes around the search term not the command for verbose mode?

I'll copy a response that I wrote elsewhere.

One issue that a lot of trans supporters don't realize is that similarly to how trans people could be offended when they are referred to by a gender not of their choice, so to could some speakers be offended if they are forced to refer to a person as a gender not of their (the speaker) choice.

This may be easier to understand by using a comparison. When I talk about the Muslim prophet I say Muhammad. However, many Muslims would say Muhammad pbuh (peace be upon him). This isn't that problematic, but let's say they the term was Muhammad ttp (the true prophet). Now I as a non Muslim believer would never use ttp because that would be insulting for whoever I believe in. If SE required that whenever I mention Muhammad that I append ttp, I would refuse as it would be extremely offensive to me.

Similarly by referring to a person with XX chromosomes [1] as she, is offensive to people who believe that genders cannot change. A reasonable compromise would be to let whoever is righting chose what they want, or even allow gender neutral pronouns. But what SE chose to do was to say that people who believe that XY is a guy are wrong and deserve no respect for their beliefs.

[1] someone corrected me and pointed out that there is a rare genetic condition where someone could have XX chromosomes but have many other male characteristics. So I would like to correct myself and say that for certain rare genetic conditions, I wouldn't mind being corrected. But for the vast majority of transgenders who are genetically similar to either males or females the above holds.

Greta is fine at preaching to the choir. I highly doubt that there were people who did not agree with her, but then after listening to her speech, agreed with her.

I tried to subscribe for updates but it required me to "prove that I am a human". I could not see any captcha or any other similar thing and it would not allow me to submit the form. I'm using Firefox focus on Android

BTW, there is nothing wrong with intending to advertise. Op (and I) are looking for a call recording app, and you know if one that you can (hopefully) recommend. The fact that you profit if we use it doesn't make your suggestion that much worse

many times CEOs cannot sell stock because doing so might signal to others that something bad is going to happen at that company. I recall a story of a company that was doing well, had customers, and good stock. then suddenly overnight the stock tanked. after researching for a while they found out what the cause was. one of the c-level employees / founder wanted to pay for his daughters wedding so he sold some stock. due to that some algo traders had programmed to sell stock if the founder sells. other algo traders programmed only to sell if both the founder and some other traders sell. well, this spiraled out of control until the market closed for the night.

that's actually really interesting, I never thought of that. do you know if any languages have something like that?

There are a lot of logic in the article that I think are completely absurd. However, it doesn't sound any odder than changing your gender.

Thank you for your insight. One thing that I've wondered for a while is, what do you do about captchas? The whole point of them is to prevent access to the webpage unless a person sees the graphic. Can you sue Google under ada?
