    I use Mac’s at work and whenever I have to use 3rd party accessories (keyboard, mouse, headset, USB switch, etc) that are not apple products they tend to have some issues. I use the same accessories on my personal PC and have never had any issues that unplugging and plugging back in didn’t fix. Also I hate that I need to use two USB C to HDMI connectors to have two displays connected to my laptop.











  • They are rarely enforced and when they are it is usually due to some sort of significant financial loss the company suffered. Normally a company is not going to waste time and money taking a cook or cashier to court over quitting a job at McDonald’s then going to work Burger King. But a senior software engineer working at Google going to work for Apple could have some real financial implications, so they’d be more likely to pursue legal action against that person. Still kinda bullshit in my mind but I get it.



  • The problem with all these conspiracy nuts is that they can never answer one simple question. Why the theatrics? If what you say is true it would be incredibly expensive, require vast amounts of resources, and strict compliance like nothing the world has seen before. If this is all about “controlling us”, and the deep state/shadow government is as powerful as they claim whats with the theater? Wouldn’t it be easier, faster, and cheaper to just send in the Shadow government military forces to drag us all into the streets and say comply or die?


  • Where she really excels is her live performances. We took my kids to the movie on her latest tour and it was really amazing. The spectacle certainly elevated the music. I know it was a movie edited for a theater experience but props to her for putting on a 3hr plus show night after night, not really missing a beat at any of them, and doing it with a smile for her fans. Also I can’t imagine the overwhelming effort required by everyone involved each night to make that show run smoothly. Truly professionals on all fronts in that regard and it’s cool to see it all working.

    I must add that I can’t stand anything Taylor anymore. My wife and kids have her music on constantly and they’ve talked about her non stop since my wife went to the concert over the summer. It’s been months of nothing but Taylor every minute of every day and I’m going insane.
