Jagged Little Pill is the first album that comes to mind for this question, but if I’m honest I’d skip the track “Perfect”.

I keep telling myself “I want an x-box” and the news keeps telling me “no you fucking don’t”.

or they make it a giant pain in the ass to unsubscribe

Which is why I’ll never subscribe to SiriusXM again. I won’t even take it for free. You can sign up for whatever plan you want online, but to cancel you have to call (and it’s not 24/7) and listen to ten minutes of “but what if I offered you X service for $ per month? and gave you a month free? Don’t you enjoy the service we provide? Let me put my supervisor on the phone so he can try to convince you not to quit us.”

I think in California there’s a law that if you can sign up online you must be able to cancel online, which pisses me off even more because Sirius could do this for the whole country but they’d rather drag and guilt people to get them to stay.

There would be a power vacuum, probably a few murders/suicides/defenstrations, and the elections scheduled for a few months from now will probably be postponed during the struggle for leadership of the country. My guess is the powers that eventually take over will agree to pull out of Ukraine, conduct a few show trials, and do whatever else they think they have to in order for the west to lift the sanctions and unlock the oligarch’s accounts.

It would please me greatly to know that Ukraine will outlive Putin.

I had a '56 chevy pickup that I got running in high school and had to sell when moving away to college. It was a quilt of parts that would fit (still the original 235 under the hood) but there was no way I was going to move to a big city with no AC, no power steering, three on the tree and all the safety features of a midcentury crumple zone with tires. I miss it tho.

The best way to handle it is not to. Don’t agree or disagree, don’t discuss, don’t offer suggestions or commiserate. Your responsibility is for you to get through the workday. Your job is your job, which I assume is not to be A’s sounding board or to hound B for slacking. If A keeps bitching about B, ask A not to. If A asks you why, be honest and say that the constant complaining is stressing you out and you’re not the proper outlet for this. If B needs to pick up the pace, that’s for her manager to deal with.

in all cases, be professional.

if I understand correctly, he’s arguing that since consoles are sold at a loss and the store has to make up the difference, Epic is ok with the 30% on the console stores. But Google and Apple charge full price for hardware so 30% for the google or apple app store is just being greedy and Epic’s not OK with that.

It’s a legitimate strategy!

For classic rock, the Dazed and Confused soundtracks are phenomenal. I’m also partial to the Hackers soundtrack for early/mid '90s electronic music.

The Hyperion books by Dan Simmons.

brb adding the escapist to the blocklist

It’s about as icky as looking at my bank account and my bank highlighting a transfer to an investment house and suggesting its’ own in the same line.

Marathon was a blast (and Halo incorporated many elements of it).

The two wolves inside me aren’t speaking to each other again.

Isn’t it appropriate to change the file to something offensive to prevent the leeching?

Hostages are variables that Hamas controls and Israel must respect. They can be used as chips to barter with, shields to hide behind, and tools to shame the Israelis in the court of public opinion.

There’s one for Tim Scott too. potential future astroturfing, I guess, but I don’t care. Block Community is my favorite button to click today.

I’m enjoying it. It has a “not yet critical mass” feel to it. There are a few features I’d like to see (Hide Thread, something like RES, etc) and there could be more traffic, but I genuinely don’t miss Reddit.

I’d like to move it just because it’s the first argument out of people’s mouths against making election day a national holiday (as it should be).

Big Unsolved Mysteries vibes from this pic. Like he’s the guy that disappeared that everyone had a reason to hate.
