Fear will keep people from asking questions.

6 months. First login only access then gone.

As far as I can tell, the size is designed to make sure you buy iCloud space. Just another monthly charge for a company needing impossible infinite growth to keep investors happy.

Which is very helpful when their security carries guns and won't be near grappling range.

If the collapse comes, all the rich people will be booted outside their nice bunkers and starve.

I really wish it was this easy to get the meds I actually need. I've been dealing with Chronic Pain for over 20 years now and still can't get enough meds to function as a normal person.

I gave my Index to my son who has the time and physicality to use it. I'm just too old for action gaming now.

I would have loved it if I was 30 years younger. I can do more from a chair with my desktop PC than an Apple Vision Pro can. It's just another Apple Con.

It seems like a similar play when thr Sci-fi channel changed their name to SyFy and canceled the greatest science fiction shows and replaced them with Wrestling and ghost-hunting reality TV to save money.

The Discovery Merger saddled HBO with the debt from the purchase of HBO, and removing Expensive scripted shows with costly actors is a way to save money. As well as closing series to take the losses as tax deductions for the future.

I was raised to be ashamed of anything I enjoyed. So I damn well am going to hide everything from anyone who knows me.

I'll be in my corner with the rest of the abused people, alone.

My guess is that repair costs are higher because they have to be sent out for expensive repairs because the car software is locked down so they cannot repair them in-house.

That's what the future is coming to with cars. No more fixing with your own parts at home.

Not only task manager, but the ability to open up zip files inside the regular explorer folders was him too.

Made them on his own time and sold it to Microsoft, back when that was possible.

Butt the battle scenes are amazing. His portrayal is horrible though.

Respect isn't fear. Knowing what something is capable of isn't being afraid of the item. Fearing something puts more emphasis on the bad possibilities than is reasonable.

Recognizing danger should have nothing to do with fear. Fear is irrational.

Is there shared targeting data with teammates? I remember lining up targets for the big artillery teammates as a scout in the older games.

I loved being useful as a fast scout beyond the rush to kill scouts in other games.

What I was talking about the media focusing on fearful stories.

Maybe I'm old, but shouldn't we fear fear itself instead of having a media push stories that promote fear? Kids have been pushed into fearing guns and school shootings when it is such a low percentage of death.

Or maybe you just are unwilling to see past the narratives and see the bias inherent in the media recently? The media has been pushing division for decades now to keep the money hungry corporations happy. Local news has all been bought up.

I'm sad about that students hardship, and am happy they were able to tell their father they loved them.

I just recognize that it is pushing a fear based narrative to become fish in a barrel and embrace death during a crisis.

Wasn't a spree shooter. Just a disgruntled person who had no more prospects left so killed those who he felt were in his way from getting a job.

The gun was bought over a year ago legally. He had just been evicted and lost out on getting a promotion to tenure so he had no more options left. None of the students were targets because he killed coworkers.

It's sad that the students were afraid, but gun control wouldn't have changed anything. The way to prevent this from happening would be to spread the tuition money to associate professors who actually teach the classes instead of all the money going to Administrative Profit.

The shootings won't stop by banning the tools, but by fixing the inequality in our economic systems. Sadly the media and politicians will talk about guns instead of the actual problems with pay. UNLV already was a gun free zone, but somehow that will never come up in the media coverage. Banning AR-15's wouldn't have changed this outcome.

The media loves sowing fear. Articles about scared students will feed the vultures for weeks and never go into actual real world ways to stop this problem. We have lost hope in this country. The majority of people are 1 crisis away from death, and we are stuck with politicians and a President who don't want people to be able to defend themselves. Not to mention asking the corporations bleeding us all dry to please stop raising prices.

I really hate the blatant fear mongering.

99% of our gun issues are due to intractable poverty and inequality. 50 years ago we didn't have these issues because Corporations were not so overbalanced. There were perks to many jobs because taxes were very high on profits.

Fix the extreme poverty, housing, and take-home pay and most of these social issue will disappear. The rich and powerful ( Corpos and people) want people to give up rights because their problem is about control more than money.

Giving up rights won't change any suicides because there is no more hope in the US anymore.

He only bought Twitter because he was forced to or admit he was trying to manipulate the stock again.

He bought a much higher stake, used Twitter to telegraph a higher price than it was worth. Then he didn't use his own money when he was finally forced to purchase Twitter at the higher price he tweeted. The money he used to purchase Twitter came from countries who have stated they didn't want Twitter to be around because it hurt their public perception when they were caught doing shady things.

His Twitter gift started the same way the SEC sued him for market manipulation for his Tesla manipulation years before. Publishing his $420 price point then selling stock when the price goes beyond his tweeted price point.

He was never savy enough to use shorting like the Hedge funds do, but his reach among the idiot masses to cause jumps in price to artificially male a bigger profit.

Prices have kept increasing on Ramen, while quality has fallen.

"Happy Wife, Happy Life"

Some women will never be happy with you because you weren't her first pick, just what she settled for.

You can't make someone happy, who is unwilling to try making themselves happy. Relationships have to be equal partnerships.

Life is so much better living alone with my dog the last 10 years.

Han was a graduate of the Imperial Military Academy before being discharged for saving Chewbacca from slavery.

He was awarded the Corellian Bloodstripes during that period of time.

Unless the new Canon retconned all of that away.
