Who could they possibly have blackmailed? Voters wanted it, because like you said, there were flyers and popups everywhere and people just vote for whatever has the biggest advertising budget. That's democracy for you.

Sorry, we can't improve school buses because Oakland is a shithole. Sorry, no space travel, Oakland is a shithole. No one is allowed to do anything good until Oakland looks like wakanda.

I always wondered what would happen when the ipad kids grew up. Can't say I expected them to start trying to use it to program.

Sqlite isn't something that works for only apple or google. Point is it's sufficient for them, simple, and more than sufficient for you. He's explaining to you that this is something that has already happened as you're unaware.

Pearl clutching and shrieking about objectification is so 8 years ago. Doesn't really work anymore because it doesn't drive an emotional reaction; people just roll their eyes and move on. This appears to be your special interest but you're responding to normal, healthy men as if they just killed your dog.

I don't support "real equality" and never have.

Men drop out of college; women most affected

Most colleges and university are majority women. The one I went to had 2 women for 1 man. This was unambiguously a mistake.

They are also 20 feet tall and wear propeller hats, no doubt.

Ridiculous. Stop playing pointless language games.

This is one of those things where people think that because they learned something in set theory 101 or intro to computers that it maps perfectly to real life situations.

vsuperpower2021 — Wed, 21 Aug 2024 23:52:50 +0000

This still doesn't make sense. The connection between "feasting all day on a pig" and what you've described is non-existent.

The user is either a web developer or has some neurological disorder that dulls his ability to react. There's no other explanation for not knowing how long 250 ms is.

On that note, I fell for a union scam. They got an entire day of propaganda to give me, and made it clear I had to sign up if I wanted to keep working there. Turns out they're paper tigers, but it took 1 click to sign up online, and I have to send them a signed certified letter at the start of the year to cancel...

You'd think it would too since apple openly advertises how good the newer hardware is at AI. No idea where the above user got the idea that they had no ability to do that.

More realistically the phone would be good for calling for advice after you get molested by a teacher. a million times more likely than getting shot. If it's so bad, why not just homeschool?

Can you come up with a better reason? I don't want normal people who just don't want to make 200 accounts with phone verification to read text to be associated with this.

The vast majority of stories don't make it to wikipedia, and wikipedia just regurgitates shit it gets from the news. If I could find an answer online I wouldn't need the news to actually do their job.

It's pretty well known that PhD certificates don't have the same value as they used to. Having more of them is a side effect of that.
