Turns out love of large paychecks is stronger than hatred of ads.

Likely a typo for "RSUs"

Why didn't your colleague call the police when the taxi driver kidnapped him? Are you sure he was taken against his will?

> The best a centrist can do is wait for the courts to fix it.
That is not how corruption is fixed.

That's not completely true. For example, the rationale behind the war on drugs (Nixon era and revived by Reagan, long before McConnell) was not about truth or moral virtue.

It's the southern strategy at work. It's not about what is true or what is morally right. It's about not letting *the other team* get any wins. This is why they needed to pretend COVID wasn't a big deal, because otherwise you are admitting that *the other team* was right.

It's not you. Google nerfed search a few years ago. I noticed exactly what you noticed around 2016 or so.

Is it really that ridiculous to put minorities in the spotlight for a few years? Try watching a "popular" movie from the 70s, 80s, 90s, or early 00s (e.g. Star Wars or Lords of the Rings). It is very depressing how blatantly they are excluded.
Featuring minorities for a while isn't that big of a deal. It would be an incredible moral failing if we pretended racial representation is all fine now.

I would guess the opposite. There is a ton of new stuff going into space, and by a larger variety of organizations than in the past.
