Announcement: I pledge to buy a one way plane ticket from any US airport to Moscow for the first two US citizens that can prove to me that they A) have a social media history demonstrating rejection of Western liberal ideals, and B) have had their Russian immigration visa accepted.

If they return to the US at any point in my lifetime, the offer is rescinded and they must refund me the cost of the ticket.

snail mail then my own terms and if they don’t react, I assume that my terms were accepted.

I'm pretty sure you haven't run this strategy by a lawyer. If you've actively agreed to their terms and they haven't responded to your counter terms.... How do you imagine a court is going to interpret that?

Massive United States Data Breach

No, it just prevents banks, etc from checking your credit score/rating, which prevents anyone from opening a new account under your name. When YOU want to open an account, you temporarily unfreeze it for a couple days so that the institution you're opening an account at can check, and then refreeze it.

The credit agencies will continue monitoring how much credit you have and how well you pay your bills and adjust your score accordingly. Freezing has no effect on that.

The best time to have frozen your credit reports at all three agencies was many many years ago. The second best time is right now. Not tomorrow. Now.

Have you looked at the cost of day care? And diapers? Or just having a place to live with the extra necessary bedrooms? Pre pandemic I read some article that (as I vaguely remember) estimated it costs at least $100k to raise a child to 18 in the US. I imagine it's closer to $150k or more by now. Probably way more.

That doesn't sound like, "becoming less religious" to me.

Yeah. 25% more people than we have now is not shrinking by any stretch of the imagination.

I keep getting logged out today. Is it just me?

I think I figured out how to reproduce it really quick.

Log in to Lemmy on Firefox
Switch to a different app
Switch back to Firefox
Reload the page.

Poof! I'm out. I repeated the test multiple times to confirm it's consistent. Probably actually getting kicked out on step 2. It's like FF decides to expire the Lemmy cookies when the app loses focus.

Armed with that info, I retested two alternate front ends on programming.dev (a. & t.) and default front end on lemmy.world and default front end on programming.drv with Brave. I was previously getting logged out on lemmy.world, but not now (maybe they updated something? Or my test is still flawed.). So, with these steps I can only reproduce it on programming.dev with the default front end on Firefox.

Man missing for 30 years reappears wearing the same clothes he left in and with no idea of what happened to him

A car stopped in front of their home – the same one they’d had for the past 30 years

So, he arrived in the car they've had since he disappeared...

The car allegedly raced off before anyone had a chance to question the driver,

... and then someone stole it????

Edit: Ohhhh, it's the same home they had when he disappeared. 🤦

Update: Haven't used my lemmy.world account in a while, so thought I'd test this out over there. Same thing happened after several minutes. Then I tried on Mastodon.world for a while and it seems to work fine. I'll try giving the alternate front end another round of testing later today.

Addendum: Can't reproduce the problem on t.programming.dev today, and couldn't seem to on a.programming.dev yesterday, so it seems to be specific to the default Lemmy front end.
