Amusingly, the last set bemoans the blood-filled syringe being replaced with a clear liquid, but shows the blood-filled syringe... same for the pistol, I see a revolver in the article, not the toy they describe. As always, emoji interpretation doesn't just depend on culture, but on the software context that it's displayed in...
It's amazing the bullshit I unknowingly avoid by blocking Javascript by default. Worth a try for anyone who hasn't yet, just re-enable it as needed and after a few days you'll almost stop noticing because you will have re-enabled it on websites you regularly visit and that need JS. Your computer will be a fan, and your fan will remain quiet.
I highly recommend uBlock Origin for this.
I've already said this on HN several times but I call this "progressive degradation" (have a perfect baseline, and degrade it with more advanced technology). [1,2,3]

I use NoScript, which involves a little more engagement than Ublock Origin. It is remarkably helpful how tracking "services" label themselves for easy filtering. Of course this starts with Google Analytics.
The article fails to mention the laughing face often misused by boomers in response to tragic news. But that is only metaphorically geographical.

“Similarly, in Mexico, — often taken to mean “solidarity” or “resistance” elsewhere — is actually closer to giving someone the middle finger in the U.S. (Technically, it bids the receiver to do something unconscionable to their own mother.)”
I have never heard of being offensive, nor would I have considered it such receiving it.
Has anyone else found this to be true?
Interesting, Safari treat each section as its own page and if you scroll up and down your back button will be filled with all those pages and press back go back to those sections.
Chrome does the same as it is listed in the back button history, but pressing it go back to previous site / webpage rather than section.
Not sure which one is the correct implementation.
