    Getting fired because of social media outrage

    If he thought behaving like that in public towards total strangers was perfectly acceptable, then how does he act in the rest of his life? https://nypost.com/2025/01/14/sports/packers-fans-targeted-by-eagles-fans-vulgar-rant-share-their-side-of-viral-incident/

    Is it acceptable to wear pajamas in public?

    I've known the manager of a local grocery store for some time now, and not all that long ago, back in the Fall, he was exasperated because he had to explain to a young woman who was on her first week as a cashier that she had to go home and change because she'd come to work in pajama pants. She...

    Rehabilitation vs punishment

    It would appear that the discussion is moot in some major cities where the criminal never sees the inside of the prison but is instead freed to continue their work in the streets.... https://unherd.com/2025/01/why-gothams-bad-old-days-are-back/

    How long does Google Search Console take to index a new site?

    I've had at least one website for over 25 years, and have been webmaster for three now for a dozen years or so, and have NEVER used G Search Console. And as most search engines seem to track off G results, and G is now all about being paid for inclusion in search results. I don't worry about it.

    Announcement Offtiopix New Look

    Now I've got to decide if I like the "default" or the "legacy" style. The bright screen of the default may be too much. We'll see. Thank you

    Announcement Offtiopix New Look

    Is it just me or does OT look an awful lot like many of the other forums out there? It's OK. I guess.

    Meta Cites' Trump's Return to Office as They Close Fact-Checking Office

    Judging by how much promoted Chinese propaganda sites have been coming up lately, it has nothing to do with Trump, and everything to do with who is paying them to carry their content.

    Solved "We strongly recommend enabling push notifications on this device so that you can be kept up-to-date with site activity. "

    It came up with: "Offtopix: Embrace the Unexpected in Every Discussion would like your permission to enable push notifications." .... "no" wasn't a good enough answer to the first question? Let's see if "Never ask me again" works.

    Worst Musical Fanbase: The Swifties vs The Juggalos

    There's no comparison. Expect, perhaps, their willingness to spend considerable amount of money and time to support their artist of choice. Swifties are annoying but harmless. You can only say half of that about the others. And when you look at the subject of their adoration, Swift, or the two...

    Should social media platforms regulate political advertising?

    The same discussion was had in the seventies with TV. The main ones crying were those that couldn't raise enough money to annoy everybody during prime time shows.

    Era of music

    One thing that makes this sort of question impossible to honestly answer is the quality of the recordings as you go back in time. For instance, this is one of the better UN-enhanced, and un-AI-processed recordings of a good song from 85 years ago, but the record hiss is still somewhat distracting.
