My DNA is a sexually transmitted disease

What I don’t get is that a dick the size or shape of an eggplant would just not work, for anything.

The video length was pretty limiting, though. Instagram at the time started doing 15 second videos. The six seconds lent itself to goofy comedy and not much more.

It seems like they should have sold it. Or just jammed in a bunch of ads… maybe an option to remove ads with a paid membership. Simply killing it doesn’t make any money other than to avoid losing more, and they’d already invested a fair bit which you can’t recoup by just closing something. Of course, Google does that all the time I guess.

Twitter clearly mishandled it. All they needed to do was give the option to post longer videos. Classic example of a large company buying a small innovative service and destroying it for no reason. I assume they thought it was too similar and in competition with Twit’s existing ability to post videos.

There’s an $18 minimum wage in Denver, for instance. Republicans sure as hell didn’t vote for that.

Why not ask people in the suburbs?

I’d reverse it. “Security researcher who has been thanked by Apple for helping fix bugs in MacOS found to be a serial fraudster”

Absolutely no reason to suggest that Apple “forgave” him, or that it was a mistake. I hate whoever wrote this article.

Well, that was a pretty cluelessly written article. The two things are entirely unrelated. The headline seems to imply that Apple changed its mind about the fraudulent activity and was wrong, but that is not what the details support.

Yep, I can’t speak on the decline of quality because it was a site that was early to dark pattern bullshit. It would show up prominently in Google search and then tease “you have to sign up to read the answers”. Uh, no. Reminds me of expert sexchange or whatever that site was that got smashed by stackoverflow for similar reasons.

Yeah, good point. It wasn’t in all caps.

I doubt that Bush Sr would be bothered by that as much as I doubt that GWB ever planned more than a barbecue in his entire life.

I know a dude who has a daughter named ISIS, born before ISIS was a problematic name. Haven’t talked to him in years but I wonder how that’s going.

I’m sure they have sufficient infrastructure to route elsewhere if Russian servers are inaccessible. I doubt anyway that servers in the rest of the world are typically served from Russia since that would be inefficient.

Yandex has a large office in Amsterdam. Not sure where its all served from but they have offices in 12 countries.

Nice! I have a friend with an original Berzerk standup.
‘intruder alert…’

Let’s see, uh… what the fuck are you talking about? You think people would carry babies to term and then just kill them vs. abortion, contraception or sterilization?

Not every country has the obsessive cultural view that males are better.

People with 3-4 kids regretting a couple of them is perhaps more common than you’d think. I’ve known people with 2 kids - like, had kids at 18 and 20 with someone they broke up with at 23 and then had to spend the next 15 years collaborating with on custody and child-rearing even though they hated each other - who would dream what their lives would be like if they hadn’t decided to reproduce vs. going to college or enjoying their youth.

No kidding (ha!), I didn’t have kids because i think the entire idea is stupid. So yes, I’d suggest that other people have less also.

Interesting. I was wondering how it would work at all with such a thin atmosphere. The author could chill out a bit though.
