As a Brit, the birthday card example feels oddly American. The effect seems plausible, but the UK equivalent slight would be something much more informal
Is Facebook encouraging people to post pictures of their kids? If they are then they shouldn't be, but parents should also have the sense not to post them
Jumping ship every couple of months is concerning, but as long as you're not doing that better to do what works for you rather than worrying about what might look better to a hypothetical future employer. The main problem with staying at one place too long is getting compensated fairly
If you hate being an employee, is applying for a full-time job really the best move?

Not sure I'd call it a goal in life since most people in tech are in-demand enough to take it for granted, but providing the job has good work-life balance and isn't too stressful it's the best way to work to live. Also, not everyone has the luxury of not needing stable employment
I don't know the answer to your question but I would agree with you. I used to be all for Chrome but with Manifest V3 it's clear Google has too much influence and we need to either switch to Firefox or create a fork of Chromium that is developed entirely separately
Which brands of smart TV show ads? I live in the UK and I've had three different brands of smart TV (Philips, Samsung and Toshiba) and my experience with all of them has been pretty good.

However, a lot of his argument seems to be about the age of the management, and surely ageism is illegal and it should be about the person's skills rather than being old enough to have school-aged kids or even how many decades of experience they have
Edit: Okay, I guess the kind of ageism he is suggesting isn't illegal in the US, but it is in the UK and is still generally considered unethical
Does the study recommend antibiotics not be used to treat ear infections? I would think the message is that it's even more important not to use antibiotics when they're not needed, not that they shouldn't be used at all
