I missed the eclipse last night. I fell asleep just as it got dark. If anyone

knows if the world came to an end, please let me know. I need to know whether I should stay on my diet or not.

It's 2034. Trump has died of terminal meglomania and is buried under a tree which starts dying. They trim a piece AND

More "Shoot first. Ask no questions later"

Just released video
This incident from 2 years ago had video released showing police gunning down innocent kidnapping victim well outside of vehicle where shots were coming from.

Killer kops who belong behind bars and a department that tries to hide the truth.

The article is almost too hard to read when you realize that one officer knew she was a victim.

First it was trans Easter, now it's Trans furs. Fellow MAGAS, take warning!

I've recently found out that furs may be coming from trans animals. Can you imagine what those sables and mink are doing? Keep away from them.

And boycott airlines. They sell trans furs on their web sites! Evey one of them!

Most local transit systems do the same and some give them out for FREE! How disgusting!

Save your country now.

Another sad day for humanity!

Amazon's senior employees may not get a cash pay raise this year

One can only offer thoughts and prayers to these poor execs.

March 27 (Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O) said on Wednesday its senior employees, whose compensation includes more stock-related awards than cash, may not receive a cash pay raise this year.
"For this year's compensation cycle, we are prioritizing cash base pay increases for employees whose compensation is weighted more heavily in base pay as opposed to stock," an Amazon spokesperson said in an emailed statement.
Some of these top employees' compensation, however, will meaningfully exceed that of last year due to growth in the e-commerce giant's stock price over the past year, the spokesperson added.


So they are not getting more cash because the stock went up so much last year that the stock they got is worth so much more.

Despite the strong performance, Amazon began the year by shedding jobs across several divisions. Aiming to slash costs, the company had cut more than 27,000 jobs and trimmed stock awards last year.


But it's okay because 27,000 little people were dumped.

Difference between Android and Linux only on D.U.?

On my Linux systems, using the current Firefox, when posting, the Title area defaults to lower case as does the Text area.

On my current Samsung tablet using the current Firefox, the Title area does not auto-capitalize the first word of any sentence in the title area but does for every sentence in the text area.

I've only noticed this on D.U.

Is there any way to offer a way at the Login screen to default to uncheck the "Stay signed in" setting?

For security and privacy purposes, I never stat signed in to any site and when I leave the site, I delete all cookies for it. So, for me, it would be nice to have a setting or option to get that page without the box checked.

Perhaps an option on the URL by adding #NoStay to the end which would automatically uncheck the box?

Thanks, Earl.
