“Mentally ill shooter” if he’s white. Doesn’t matter if his house, truck, and social media is littered with pro-trump/anti-liberal threats and content.
I pay $60 (or whatever), pay for my data connection, and get to play my game literally for years. It’s one of the cheapest forms of entertainment around. I get tons of value out of my purchase, it reduces stress, I get a sense of challenge out of it, and for the amount I spent I get a lot pf return.
Now if only health care were free. That’s just a bullshit statement and not even worth responding to. That said, In its current state it’s the opposite of video games. It’s expensive. The amount you put in is often not what you get out. It’s stressful.
Maybe the only way it’s like games is that someone can pull the plug on you when it’s not profitable anymore.
Everything is justified, and even if you’re wrong you get forgiven. You can spread ruin in this life because the only one that matters is the one you expect to get next.
Right? I don’t get this at all. The guy gets elected, offers a couple things via social policy change, and everyone loses their shit. Even the title of the article this is about calls it “socialism” when it’s a far cry from it.
I’ve taken apart a phone for the purposes of replacing a battery. While everything is very compact as you can imagine, there is also a surprising amount of unused space. I’ll admit I’m not an engineer, so I don’t know if this space is error margin for manufacturing tolerances or something, but there is certainly enough room for a jack to be installed were this space tightened up just a little.
the research also suggests that we might not really be getting the brightest and best talent at the top because the tools and processes used to identify candidates are either limited or downright faulty. There is simply too much emphasis on past performance, personal recommendation, unstructured interviewing, an unwillingness to ask really difficult and searching questions and that more dangerous selection criterion of all – gut instinct. Worryingly, it seems that the headhunters and in-house recruiters charged with hiring occupants of the corner office may be relying too much on perception and too little on good, hard facts. The paper points out that CEOs who win prestigious industry awards constantly out-earn those that don’t. Yet the stocks of the companies the award winners head up consistently underperform in comparison to those of their less publicity hungry peers.
Yeah, never use rental car agency toll payment. Too late for you now, but they treat it the same way they do the gas fill charges. If they do it they’ll double the cost. Use your own toll pass if you have one, add the rental plate to the pass while you’re using it.
Yep. The astroturfing and hive mind made it easy to leave after the API debacle. Any modestly large sub pretty much made outside opinion not worth sharing. Smaller subs were still mostly ok, but even those were being overrun with reposts or people skirting the purpose of the sub trying to get karma. You couldn’t have discussions anymore, it was people posting for karma and people responding in ways to hop on karma coattails.
The guy embodies everything right with the system. Jumped through all the hoops. “Rehabilitated” himself despite prison. Followed the rules. Became, for a second time, a productive member of society.
And they sent him away after decades here to a country he doesn’t even know.
I can’t even think about the mental gymnastics engaged in by the pro-military repugnicans who also say “if immigrants came here legally they would be fine…” They probably don’t even bother. Just shrug anf move on.
