Now now - repubs don’t like Swifties.

That’s some serious spin there in the title.

So say we all.

Had an old on and off girlfriend - fantastic body, great sex, mad as a box of minions. Not a healthy relationship and 1.5 years later going nowhere. When she’d call, the iPhone would ring with Alan Parsons Project:

Don't answer me

Don't break the silence, don't let me win

Don't answer me

Stay on your island, don't let me in

Run away and hide from everyone

Worked a treat.

…very, very old.

FTFY.

True, but he was a rich opportunist with good timing, so that made him look like a genius, as opposed to the serial fabulist and racist POS he ended up being.

Elon Musk wannabe

Texas: The Lone Star State

It’s not just a slogan, it’s a rating.

Interesting to see if its Interop 2024 score will change.

I bet you use “the cheatin’ spoon” distinction too. /s

Maybe be more specific in what you label “journalism”, because Gizmodo ain’t dat.

Oh grow up.

YouTube sucks balls, but people still want it and the dev, who made Apollo and is one of the best app makers out there, did what they could to make YT available quickly.

So now you’re shitting on him personally because he didn’t fulfill your crusade. Get a life or learn to program and get off your ass and do it yourself.

Jesus, people.

It’s more important than ever to be precise in what you say and mean.

I offer no cover or comfort to traitors like Trump, but do understand that most people just want to live their lives in peace. Evil comes into it when some want more than what life has to offer, and will claw more at any expense.

That is not “people” in general. This is why precise word matter.

X-Ray Peripheral Vision. ‘Nuff said.

“Capable” does not equal “inherently” - he didn’t say what you’re asserting.

So, Bali then. Then you’d know this one - maybe you’re a stupid influencer, and if you take a photograph in a bikini up against the wrong tree – a religious symbol which is unmarked, but yet supposed to be duly noted as being off-limits - you can kiss your visa status goodbye, fined and deported. There are unwritten local and religious rules, managed through local groups which coordinate with the local government. That’s what this is as well.

Please note, I’m not criticizing this. When you are in another country as a guest, you should not just think you can transpose your culture over the native culture and not suffer repercussions.

That was way back in the early 2000s; they’ve been gone from New York since 2012 and aren now in Chicago. Looking at the history in Wikipedi, it looks as though there was a first-look media tie up with Miramax that didn’t go anywhere.

why can’t all workers be remote?

I’m in development, and post-Covid we still have our remote workers and an empty office building (or four around Europe) that we are bound by lease contracts. Just because someone wants to work at home doesn’t mean the established office costs to the company doesn’t exist. We’re trying to get out of several of those contracts now, but it’s taking years.

In a worldview it is entirely not uncommon. I think you find this quite often in enclave/enclosed communities where the native language is not that of the general populace. Also in more closed religious communities. I’ve seen this first hand in Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, and even Protestant communities.

You’ve not been to parts of New York, have you? This is quite common.
