God damn it…

God damn it.

My wife and I had our son via IVF. We wanted every single one of our fertilized eggs to work, but they didn’t. We had one that did and we suffered every time one didn’t.

Fuck Alabama for adding on to the torment and emotional suffering families going through IVF and any kind of infertility suffer already. It’s just adding unspeakable cruelty again.

After saying they won’t

Ah, the refreshing feeling of seeing a headline from my local paper on a website and not being ashamed of what it says.

Bibi not using available intelligence to avoid the attack?

I don’t understand, why would he want that! What would he have to gain?

(Obvious sarcasm)

They’re going to build it in 2026 but it’ll still somehow be running on XP.

Id say this is one of the most measured and diplomatically appropriate statements I’ve heard regarding the situation and couldn’t agree more.

Saying this is antisemitism is a stretch.

  • Tries to improve game
  • makes everything significantly worse

Yep, classic Bethesda.

Actually it’s roughly half of one 9/11, by the numbers.

By the numbers in Palestine, though, these estimates get a bit closer

They really want to fuck with it? Wait for IPO day and THEN stage a mass protest. That, I would love to see.

As a city Texan who lives in one of the most military-friendly and full cities in the state, I say I’d like to see you try greggy.

“No, of course it’s a joke about them sleeping on the floor. We will provide Tesla-branded housing onsite, and with the added convenience of the Tesla store and the workers being paid in Teslabux to pay me back for the room and board, they’ll always be ready to do my bidding.”

But why is there a teacher shortage?!

You get the dress but have to subscribe to Dress Cloud for $50/mo and if you decide to discontinue it the dress randomly turns into a 90s era WB shirt and locks itself that way until you re-up

I was a very heavy Apollo user. I was ALREADY paying monthly for it and if Reddit would have released a reasonable API charge structure and worked with devs, I’d have been happy to pay more for it because I used it every day.

They shot themselves in the foot trying to create a walled garden, now it’s just bots complementing each other in weirdly verbose comments back and forth.

Wait, how much money does the Catholic Church have?

That union vote came at just the right time then, huh.

This is an odd take.

I don’t mind paying for services that I use that give me information and fun, especially one that I used daily (I pay $10/mo for streaming services I use maybe once or twice weekly).

I DO mind when they decide to gouge and disrespect the user base. IMO, THAT’S the issue in today’s market - profits above all else, including your customers.

Services aren’t free. Servers cost money. I get it. If I am a heavy user, I don’t mind paying a reasonable price for it (that reasonable price being close to the 2-5 a month I was already giving to the developer at the time.)

Honestly that’s the thing about when the UK talks shit about US politics - yeah, we have our problems but yall VOTED to destroy your economy and close your borders to your own detriment and you currently have a revolving door PM where one of them got outlasted by a head of iceberg.

It’s the opposite of giving the EU the middle finger, it’s taking advantage of them opening the system. Just because Apple lists it doesn’t prevent them from taking it down off the App Store; having it loaded from his own does.

That’s the most load bearing comma I’ve ever seen

Last Podcast on the Left did a series on this and it’s horrifying. I will never understand the capacity for humans to be so intolerably cruel to others.

That’s not polyamory, friend. That’s called cheating.

What they need to do is take whoever the next director of the game is going to be, strap them to a chair Clockwork Orange style and mix the entire Criterion Collection and Evangelion for about a year or two.

Then just for good measure have them write a page of names and slap them anytime a name nears anything of normal.

Then, and only then, should they be allowed to start working.

Oh yeah, the apartheid emerald mining is never out of my mind when I think of this asshat.

So many times I saw a meme and I wanted to show it to someone else only to be sure it was lost forever to that useless excuse for a search.

I think the prerequisite is that you have to have done at least one 9/11 to be considered to host.

Peace on earth and goodwill towards man.

Nah, fuck that.

“What should we do? Just PAY the developer for the feature? Nah, we’ll just continue to file lawsuits and eventually settle in the inevitable class action from buyers which will certainly not be more than what we would have spent just licensing it in the first place”

Look, I’m not one for patent trolling, but this is pretty blatant on Apple’s end and as a Series 9 owner it’s annoying because it’s a feature I upgraded for that I’ll lose access to just because they don’t want to be told they’re wrong. Such corporate bullshit.

That’s the worst title I’ve ever heard of.

They are going back to the days of a $100 proprietary hdmi cable and annual maps subscription with ads for your own safety

Extremely free, can’t you tell by the fact that she had to go to a judge to make a decision about her body?

They specifically used r/buyitforlife as an example of how to market on Reddit. Thing is that the trustworthiness came from users and this will dilute the trust in that sub rendering it useless. I hate what they have become.

I don’t mind. Fuck all those people.

Is that a Blahaj jr?

Spectacular.

I just want George to continue going scorched earth and reveal all the secrets, but with like verified documents and evidence to back it up. Otherwise don’t talk about him until his fraud trials
