Seriously. Everyone involved was exhausted and there was nothing else for them to do except rest and recover. If they’d won, they’d still be going at it preparing to enter office while Trump went to Mar a Lago and tweeted.

lol lol that sounded really naive, I’m sorry

Nothing quite as pathetic as going personal in a political discussion.

Alternatively they are on an engineering team and providing their expertise via other means beyond code submission. This entire thing sounds like a sledgehammer trying to do the work of a scalpel.

That’s bad training. Also typical here

FWIW I went off on dude on your behalf lol

They don’t know the people you are conversing with. You’re creating some strange narrative in your own brain and projecting it against the world.

What even is your point here? My reading: “Ooh look how tough you are, see how you feel when you lose your job!”

If it’s lead crystal then don’t store alcohol in your decanter. It will slowly leach out over time. Crystal is meant to be used then stored away.

Yeah you’re all sorts of fun. I do regret encountering you. Going to block to make sure that does not happen again.

LOL chromium is not important, it isn’t. I know you want it to be, but it’s not. There are plenty of alternatives out there, Firefox being the most obvious one. Really, stop simping for Daddy Google. You sound like an edgy teen.

It’s pretty clear that you don’t understand what antitrust is about. I might suggest you read the Wikipedia article before commenting further. Also you should maybe take a moment to consider why you are taking the side of Google, a terrible and abusive company worth hundreds of billions of dollars. They don’t need your support.

That isn’t the point, is it? Why does the government and the people care about the profits of some company?

I’m afraid that this is a terrible take. There is nothing to stop them from making it into a separate company. It would break the monopoly because the same people making the browser won’t be the ones earning the ad revenue.

They are not independent. They are under the rule of the crown. 4-5 years ago the governor of Australia, who reports to the crown, dissolved parliament.

And for a linguist the question is really whether there are native speakers who consider it correct. Here there are millions who say yes.

I think you’d call this elision. Assume that the phrase is originally “the car needs to be washed” but you cut out “to be”, making it into a shorter form. It’s pretty common in language to shorten things to make it faster to speak. Think of the endless contractions in English or perhaps leaving part of a sentence completely unspoken because the content is easily assumed by the interlocutors.

Glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed. Good for him, though, he’s trying.

Don’t kid yourself–it will eventually become more like Twitter once the entire planet onboards. Decentralization will help a lot, though.
