I used to have to run palemoon portable because firefox.exe was blocked by Digital Guardian Somehow whenever you clicked a link with target = new window it was detected as firefox and killed immediately.

ugh, the cynical view is probably something like those now able bodied people are taking jobs from people with all their limbs or something terrible cochlear implants are divisive in the deaf community as a cultural preservation concern but thats also a subjective minefield and certainly more nuanced than the two word reply here lol at bikes being instashaggared too

In response to the sweet progressive parental leave policies of Sweden (240 days each, where not all are transferable) some idiots are claiming dads are displacing moms from the role of "the nurturing parent". We both stayed home a year each, stretching it by being full time away from work but only getting part time parental leave pay. Those two years I've had with each boy gave been the best of my life.
