I think mistakes like this are usually caused by someone changing their mind on one thing they wrote and forgetting to proofread the whole thing to see if it still makes sense. I imagine this sentence started out as "Rock the size of a small boulder".

Luckily it looks like they are in Australia, based on their instance.

Allowing Google to run an ad campaign targeting their members wasn't the benefit Blue Cross was talking about, that's a side effect from them not turning off the data sharing option in the Google analytics settings.

The analytics data is used for prioritizing development work. If a tool they have on the website relies on a library that isn't compatible with a new version of React, for instance, do they know how many people use it? Having analytics allows you to decide what's worth spending the development time to maintain.

The analytics would be for the web development team to see which pages/features are used. Usually a product manager uses that data for setting priorities on what gets worked on.

My constructive suggestion was for people to stop saying they are unintentionally boycotting things. It just seems self-congratulatory and smug and every boycott discussion is just choked with those comments.

I was writing third paragraph about how if you aren't shopping somewhere that is being boycott, you can help by spreading the word. I deleted it once when I had the realization that it doesn't matter what I say, the next boycott post will have the same comments and that I'm getting worked up over something I can't change.

It was his stepmom's gun, not the mom's. Article was probably edited at some point, since I see at least one place where they forgot the step part.

2019 Elon was an asshole who called people pedos, cared more about the aethetics of the factory floor than worker safety, manipulated stock value by blatantly lying, fought unionization, and attacked whistleblowers. His open right-wing political 'turn' didn't start until people told him he needed to follow the rules to prevent the spread of Covid.

It's so hard to believe that Cybertruck buyers are surprised that people hate them. They ignored all of these things about Elon and Tesla and then they bought the ugliest car ever made. They didn't hear a single thing about Elon in the last decade and then dropped $100k on a stainless steel death trap that is awful at doing actual truck things and is barely held together? Like how did they hear about the truck in the first place if they are so disconnected from the world?

I have a bottle of the Dr. Doctor syrup in my pantry. I forgot I had it tbh, since I haven't been drinking soda for a while. It's a decent brand if you have a machine that carbonates water.

A real judge. Immigration judges are employees of the Department of Justice and follow the orders of the Attorney General. He has another case in front of a federal judge in New Jersey who can question that determination.

I don't know why I even bother going into the comment sections of boycott posts. There's only three types of comments. Smug "heh, I never shopped there anyway" comments, self-defeating "I'll never shop there again even if they change" comments, or 'boycotts don't work, give up libs' comments if you have some conservative trolls.

The "unintentionally boycotting" ones bother me because they are always the top comments and it's not actually boycotting. You don't show up as missing revenue because they support genocide and stopping that support won't win you back. You might as well not exist to those companies. I'm happy you don't have to deal with an HP laptop, but you weren't boycotting them.

The preorders were $100 down, completely refundable.

Ahh, my mistake. It never occurred to me that the actual article continued dragging on.

It feels like they thought of "make sure the whole family is taken care of" after finishing the story and just shoved it in. It changes the tone and makes me feel validated in my opinion that reading The Onion articles just ruins the perfect headlines.
