Lol, I never got that from the books. I find that Chalamet plays pretty much the same character no matter what he does.

Gotta love that a fictional character created by a transphobe carries more weight and concern than the further destruction of our biosphere.

Yeah, but he doesn’t have to act like it. IMO I find Chalamet flat with no range.

I miss the excitement of new and better.

From cellphones bolted into cars

To affordable handhelds

To text messaging

OMG you can send pictures!? (Crappy, But yes!)

Free nights, free weekends

Then unlimited texts

Nokias to flip phones, to phones with slide-out keyboards and windows CE on them…

Then most plans slowly became unlimited data/voice/text

Then came the iphone which wrecked everything. They’re all black obelisks now that are virtually mini-pc’s that want to do nothing except track you, monetize you, keep you constantly connected, distract you, and disengage you. Nothing’s new, you just own less, pay more, and fight a retreating battle for your privacy and rights.

It is most certainly not real.

Fake, but funny.

It’s wild how different the symptoms and effects of covid can be. I know people who have been asymptomatic, a few died, or have had major long-term health issues. Even the regular cases of it vary from a light cold to a bad flu.

A virus that really highlights how different genetics and overall heath affect each person who gets infected.

Absolutely. Sometimes the two and three stars are useful, people tend to write more nuanced reviews about what went wrong or other issues with whatever is being reviewed. You might also find someone who has taken the time to find a fix if there is one, or suggest a possible alternative product that does the job. One stars are usually “this (thing) sucks because (reasons) and I’d give it negative stars if I could!”

Should be required to say if they are paid by anyone for the purpose of expressing a political view. Not just campaigns.

A set of nice tools, keys to a cool car you’ll have to puzzle out, and a 4080ti card.

Because he tells the truth and doesn’t stop telling the truth. So now he gets to be sent to the gulag.

But then we get decision paralysis, and also wonder if there’s something else we’re missing to make the right decision.

Centrist: a right winger that doesn’t want to face the realities of either situation.

AirBnB became too many people’s “passive income”.

They don’t want to take care of the property or have too many to take care of, so they treat customers like house sitters for the luxury of renting the property as well as building equity off them.

Pretty messed up. In the early days Airbnb was ok, we used it a couple times, but I don’t think I’d want to mess with it today.

AI? Absolutely seamless window frame and baseboard trim, like it’s one single piece and completely uniform.

They’ll snatch defeat from the jaws of victory as usual. Even if they do win it’s the usual “come up with a mediocre decent idea, water it down, act like you’re gonna be tough by taking a stand, and then let the republicans wreck it anyway even if the dems have a majority” policy.

It’s crap. I’ve listened to a little of it. Generic, predictable, and full of issues like “singers” rapping out 30 seconds of high volume lyrics without a single intake of breath. But it fits in with the general overall quality of available music on Spotify. A sea of boring and low-effort junk.

You could shit into a open pit latrine or something.

I mean, there’s only so many ways to contain water and catch waste efficiently.

Some online booksellers will let you download a few pages of a book to read before purchase.

You can do that and decide if you want to buy the physical copy.

That said, fuck this place. The joy of opening a new book and reading some of it is part of the process. I’d never come back.

Been playing Electronic Arts games since the 1980’s.

Even if they are a shit company, Nice knowing ya.
