I'm sure some company will build an empty frame somewhere in Wyoming, promising that it'll be some kind of megafactory, and it'll just sit there, full of empty promises, just like similar "investments".

There's a screenshot I've seen a few times over the years, of part of a Tumblr or reddit thread. I've spent the past half hour looking for it, with no joy, so I probably have some details wrong.

The first part, someone comments about someone who got injured and broke the part of his brain that controlled yawning so he just kept yawning for years. And then someone comes in and says something like, "Wait, what - you're telling me that the default is YAWNING = YES and we have a specific mechanism that says 'No, don't yawn this moment' and it does that constantly?!" And ... then there's a third part where they talk about sharks or something? Like I said, I can't find it right now :(

Tildes seems to do mostly okay.

Is this something the Internet Archive wanted? And why?

Everyone has different values, different pieces of information (and different amounts of time to do research), and different resources.

No, I don't judge people for not boycotting something I'm boycotting, though I'll mention it if it's going to cause a problem. For example, a friend is a massive fan of seeing things in theaters, including re-releases. If they want to see a re-release of Harry Potter, I'll decline, saying that I'm boycotting Rowling, and offer an alternative.

However, if they've been saying that they're really for/against something and seem to be going to buy something from a company that opposes that view, I'll mention, "Hey, I don't know if you know, but they support XYZ." If they still have to get it, then it's none of my business: everyone has different needs and different resources.

I agree with this. I would also add that sometimes time / convenience is a factor. I've a friend who orders from Amazon because she's disabled; I've another friend who has three kids and she's doing her online shopping for back-to-school late at night because that's literally the only free time she has to do it and all the stores are closed.

Blame everything else besides you being a shithead.

They've already scrapped mandatory water breaks for outside workers :(

Their measles information page is here. The data seems complete, just not as nicely compiled as it used to be. [Their respiratory illnesses page is here.]
