How did you manage to acquire /four/ bullies?

1. This was over the course of almost 20 years; one in elementary school, two in junior-high, one in high school

2. I'm an insufferable know-it-all.

You deserve a muffin for the way you delivered it

source? all that is being reported is her asking for proof of life and him back

That information is outdated by now. The assessment was based on Trump's claim that the US will work together directly with her instead of Machado, whom he considers unfit to be president right now. It was an attempt of giving a rational explanation of Trump's and Rubio's press conference. I assumed that in order for their statements to make sense there would have to be some backdoor deal with her. However, she has given a speech now condemning the attack and refuting the US narrative (although, leaving some door open for diplomacy).

I can't edit the original comment any longer so I hope people read this one. In any case, the situation is still very fluid.

Google and Google Ads are not one and the same.

The jump from the op's "i screwed up my google ads campaigns" to "Research shows that many young people are getting their information from short video platforms like TikTok"....

i mean, c'mon

If Google Ads was cut off from Google, would they still be profitable?

exactly

end of the day, guys like the author, for better or worse, are going to be replaced by the next generation of developers who don't care for the 'aesthetics' in the same way

And that’s before you even get to the asymmetric costs.

Another message of hope: I'm mid-late thirties and had the exact same. Daily tinnitus from December 2024 through to around August 2025.

I went through MRI etc to no avail.

Then one day I felt something (extremely deep in my ear) just 'release', like a tube unblocking or pressure equalising. And the sound went away and (fingers crossed) hasn't come back since. This was after daily issues for 8-9 months solid.

not an issue /yet/ as it's separate and barely anyone is using it

I had this too last week. It pointed out two errors that simply weren’t there. Then completely refused to back down and doubled down on its own certainty, until I sent it a screenshot of the original prompt. Kind of funny.

Honestly if you're removing meta tags from the html of a page for page speed/server space/bandwidth/environmental benefits -- it's time to do something else

I hate FB/twitter as much as the next tech-savvy person but accept that my users use those platforms and it's good for my website to show up optimally when they do

"but part of the secret sauce of why these big orgs generally operate as effective institutional ecologies"

Nah

the secret sauce is "who you know"

it's a tale as old as time
