Is that subreddit just kept around as a honeypot?

I want to just want a prepaid plan rather than a subscription service. Let me buy 100 searches for $5 and when they run out, let me make another purchase if I want.

Still costs $5 even if you only make a single search that month....

Wouldn't be surprised if some transport companies accidentally get hit by something like this given how so many have very accidentally trans names.

Even the people who voted for him or are closely involved with his election are also confused because they haven't got their exceptions.

Next year wouldn't really be as unexpected though, would it? Typically the local el nino/la nina effects overshadow year-over-year levels of climate warming and you have to compare similar el nino to el nino or la nina to la nina to clearly see the effects of climate change (and disinformation sources would intentionally compare el nino years to the following la nina years to show "global cooling" and pretend to panic about it). An increase in year-over-year temperatures despite the multi-year cycle decreasing is pretty alarming.

The acceleration of climate change is expected, but frequently have exceeded expectations of reasonable scientists. I guess at least this is occurring while solar irradiance as been on an upswing and not a downswing, but by the time the next el nino that ends as solar irradiance decreases, we'll probably have accelerated enough that temps continue to increase anyways.

As long as they can convince advertisers that the enough of the activity is real or enough of the manipulation of public opinion via bots is in facebook's interest, bots aren't a problem at all in the short-term.

After replying to this, I got that message for a second time except its missing the stumblechat link.

Given the bot is using a single message for everyone, it could have been written by an actual human.

Only time I have the problem is when people attach large files. While is the same problem with other "IM" methods.

Even if eggs go to $24/dozen, then the cost of egg per dose of flu vaccine would be less than a $1. I only get one flu vaccine a year, so still irrelevant. Also alternative methods for flu vaccine exist and are used already.

Agreed most others wouldn't use email as a replacement for casual chat, but its always seemed like an arbitrary choice. So many people waste so much space in emails because they treat them like letters, so the biggest difference seems to be the culture around them rather than the medium itself. If people formatted all text messages as

"Hello Dear Friend,

Here is stuff to waste space.

Here's what I actually want to say.

More extra stuff.

Sincerely, Walrus"

I doubt we would see that much of a difference between them.
