    The word "excessive" is not actually used in either of the linked studies.

    What part of "The rise in depressive symptoms and suicide-related outcomes was exclusive to females" did you fail to understand?

  3. It has nothing to do with my Internet connection. It has everything to do with the fact that, if Wikipedia detects that you're using a phone or tablet, it redirects you to m.wikipedia.org, and you have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the fucking page and choose "Desktop view" and it blissfully ignores FF's "Request desktop site", which no other fucking site on the fucking Internet seems to do. It is completely un-fucking-called for, and fucking arrogant as hell.

  4. Ignorance knows no political boundaries.

    But now that you mention it--*one* US political party has gone out of its way for a generation or more to keep you ignorant *and* to encourage you to feel smug about it. Which one do you think that might be?

    I'm not the one who's been fooled into thinking that making an education as economically unfeasible as possible is something to gloat about.

    270G is a large git repo? That's a bit over half the size of ours.

    Look, everyone, it's ScentCone standing under the noonday sun in the Sahara and complaining about being blinded by a 20-watt lightbulb.

  9. But it works out so very nicely for politicians who depend on keeping voters ignorant to continue getting themselves elected.

    They've been employing this strategy since the days of the Reagan Administration.

    ProTip: Not all value is measured in dollars.

    But since you mention it, I work for a Forbes Top 5 software company. I'm not a developer per se, but I do work in development, and a large part of my job does involve reading, writing, and compiling code, and putting it through its paces.

    I own homes in two countries, and one of them is already paid for. (The home, that is, not the country--I'm not *that* well off.)

    As for what sort of degree I have? I'll never tell--it's much more fun watching you circumnavigate a round room, looking for a corner to piss in.

  11. I use FF on my phone, and, no, it doesn't.

    I'd like never to see the mobile version of a site even on a mobile device. Wikipedia is *especially* annoying in this regard, choosing to disregard completely my UA's built-in "show normal version" option.

    If you do not like being robbed, you can leave this mafia territory and go to another one.

    "Robbed"? By whom? In which "mafia territory"?

    Have a problem with getting conscripted into the military and forced to murder? Oh well, you should just go somewhere else. I like conscription.

    Assuming you're talking about the US, there hasn't been a draft in over 40 years, and no-one's been prosecuted for failing to register since the mid-1980s.

    Not a fan of being censored...[?]

    Again assuming you're talking about the US, I wasn't aware that the government there practised censorship.

    ...or denied life-saving experimental drugs by some lazy bureaucrat? Gee, sorry your terminally-ill kid died, but that drug could have been really dangerous for him. Maybe you should have had your kid somewhere else.

    Perhaps you'd be interested in knowing that my mother is alive today because, just 2 or 3 years ago, when her life expectancy was about 90 days, some "lazy bureaucrat" approved her then-experimental treatment for terminal cancer. I *really* hope you're okay with that.

    I'm sure the locals you're attempting to displace are completely OK with that.
