I’m pretty sure this is a Demetri Martin joke.

It was the inverse in my family. The uncle who extricated himself from most of the family was actually a huge piece of garbage and did everyone a favor by cutting us off. I don’t think he expected that nobody would make an effort to re-establish contact.
Not being in constant contact with everyone you know, and not having a neverending stream of notifications assaulting you via your phone.
When you got to see relatives who lived far away, you talked about what had been going on in their life because you probably had no idea.
You read, listened to, or watched the news when you wanted to, unless someone you know told you sooner.
If you had to wait somewhere without a book or magazine, you just sat there with your thoughts. During childhood, you learned how to be bored and practice imagining things.
Nothing beats Junior talking about his job or children.
Does Hal Jordan manage this location?
It’s my pleasure!
It really depends on your taste. If you enjoy pop, 1989 is a good entree. If you enjoy moodier stuff, folklore is not a bad choice. If you enjoy country, try Fearless. You could also just sample some hits and, when you find one that’s ok, try the album it’s on. If you really want to run the gamut, going in chronological order is a good way to see the evolution of her sound and songwriting. The Taylor’s Version albums are worth listening to instead of the originals, though you can skip the bonus tracks if you’re not a huge fan.
That being said, you could justifiably come out on the other side still not liking her stuff. But I hope you’d at least have an appreciation for the artistry.
She may not be your cup of tea, which is totally fine. No music is for everyone. But to say her music is not creative or good like Michael Jackson and Madonna is silly. It definitely reveals an unfamiliarity with her catalog. While I like Madonna, she has not competently covered as much ground as Taylor Swift has been able to.
I used to not really like Taylor Swift until I actually sat down and gave her music a real listen, then I got what all the hubbub was about. She has a lot of albums for her age, and there’s relatively little filler on them (some have none in my opinion).
Pepsi just does international distribution of it. Keurig Dr Pepper owns it.
I’ve gone back and forth, but I agree. People just need to stop assuming that a game being on Steam is an endorsement. It’s just a platform. They’ve removed almost all barrier for entry to enable truly indie developers to have their game on the premier PC game store. I’m sure indies prefer paying $100 and doing whatever they can to gain social traction compared to begging the gatekeepers at major publishers to give them a chance, though I could be wrong.
Downloads!
That would be terribly boring. It would take the art, nuance, and fun out of language. It would also curtail the development and evolution of language. Can you imagine language without innuendo or double entendre?
To be fair, an oligarchy is a group. An oligarch is a single member of that group. If you’re going to be a pedant…
Oracle is nothing if not consistent in providing shitty customer support across all sorts of products.
I have family who live in a rural area. It’s very nice to visit because the landscape is beautiful. The locals are also quite nice and helpful if you ever need it. But I don’t want to regularly spend an hour each way to the nearest supermarket or pharmacy. I don’t like driving that much. It seems to me a lot of the money you save on real estate you spend in time and convenience. I see the appeal, but it’s not for me.
Very rarely. Physical intimacy in movies or TV is like a strong seasoning. In the right place, it can accentuate the flavor and bring it to another level. Otherwise, you’re just adding curry powder to a cherry danish.
I know exactly what you mean. I used to be the backup but have been able to graduate to an equal and sometimes primary. It helps that I now exclusively feed the cat.
Just your wife’s? Not yours?
That is exactly my point. It’s not worth asking because it doesn’t tell anyone anything they don’t already know. The ones employers ask are the same, though they want you to blow smoke up their ass about how it’s been your dream to write backend code for an insurance company since you were a kid.
I don’t like wasting time in interviews on questions or exercises that don’t help at least one party decide if the other will be a good fit. Unless you a hiring for a position where someone regularly needs to lie about why they’re engaging another party, these questions are rarely if ever valuable.
It’s been 8 years since VI came out. That’s the longest they’ve gone between releases since the original. It’s also difficult to say if it’s necessary without actually seeing what VII has to offer. If it’s VI with a new coat of paint, then I agree. But I hope they bring a novel aspect like districts was for VI that made it worth it.
