There are areas I drive through that if you stood on the side of the street and waved your hands, I would stomp on the gas and get out as fast as possible. You could be breakdancing on the sidewalk and I wouldn't stop.

My neighborhood? Sure. Your neighborhood? It depends.

It sounds very much like one of those I-heard-it-from-a friend who heard it from another friend stories at best. *IF* it did happen, I doubt it was the justification narrative being pushed here.

OhMyGod. Apple wasn't willing to take the word of one party to strip the rights of a different party. Tar and feather them.

This is the domain of a court order, not the word of a disgruntled, divorced parent. Your eager sympathy for one unique case endangers the rights of everyone else who might be in an opposite circumstance. Let a judge decide, not some warm body in a chair answering tech support phones *AND* certainly not armchair quarterbacks either

Too crazy; didn't read

And by the way, Einstein, Water has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen. Hence H2O, not HO2.

Wow. You doubled down without doing even a modicum of research. Even Google's AI could have saved you some embarrassment. Keep spitting those facts, genius. I'll stick with those "alternative facts" that actual chemists use.

Waitaminit. For decades, liberals have been saying that voting was the mostest importantest right evuh. It's far too important to even ask racist questions, like "Are you a US citizen?" before voting. Now you're telling me that it's not important enough to to validate your identity when your signature doesn't match? Maybe we could do, like, in person voting all on the same day and show an ID at the same time so these kinds of problems wouldn't crop up. Naaaah. it'd never work. Otherwise, other countries would have done it.

Thank you for the clearing that up. I see your chemistry knowledge is as comprehensive as your political education. I was totally unaware that H2O2 is water. I always thought that was H2O. All you knowledgeable liberals should make sure to keep pointing out those facts to us uneducated heathens.

No he's not. I've worked in higher education for several decades. When I first came here, the administrative wing was one side of one floor of one building. Now they have an entire building, filling three floors and are discussing taking over the basement and kicking out the department there. That doesn't even count the administrative departments for marketing, enrollment management, retention, advising and campus life that fills half the student union. Most of that didn't exist back then. Our enrollment is about 20% higher, at around 12,000, than it was when I first started.

They also poured money into Lennart Poettering which cancels out Linus on the scoreboard.

Rod Serling went to Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio which is just a few miles from Centerville physically (but light years away philosophically). It's why some of his Twilight Zone episodes were set in "named" Ohio cities. Nick of Time, It's a Good Life, Stopover. A Stop at Willoughby is supposedly named after Willoughby, Ohio but set in Connecticut. There were also a lot of New York set episodes as a nod to his time there too.

Oddly enough, Dave Chappelle is a current resident of Yellow Springs.

Wow. Just wow. Giving someone money or not taking earned money away from them are the same thing? Karl Marx would be proud of you. I think you mean, the economic effect is the same. Calling them equivalent is the moral argument that the socialists have been pushing forever where "rich" is anyone with more money that the socialist.

This we can agree on. This is why I fully support the government assistance class being required to make a work effort. This increases productivity and means more goods and services. Too many liberals think that free government handouts work like a kid's allowance with no economic or social downside. This is how we end up with perpetual generational poverty and eternal government dependence.

Many places these days have terrible acoustics without any drop ceilings or sound baffling, just open high metal ceilings with terrible echoes. Some of them then crank up the music so loud that customers have to raise their voice to be heard across the table and that reinforces the racket. It's like having a meal on a factory floor. I have two friends that wear hearing aids and they both struggle to follow the conversation in noisy environments.

I avoid these places unless someone insists that we meet there. One bar/restaurant that I used to go, plays music I like and has food I like, but the din is now so overwhelming it's not worth the visit. If I have to shout to be heard two feet away over dinner, I'll find somewhere else to go.

I never claimed I "matched" it nor do I try. My claim it that it is a far better experience for me. Much cheaper. No distractions. No inconsiderate assholes. Can pause and rewind. No driving and looking for parking. No planning my evening around theater schedules. No ads. Same movie. Good enough.

You're still trying to push the old vinyl vs mp3 type argument again. Enjoy your vinyl if it makes you feel special. I'm happy with my convenient mp3s.

Saw that at the theater. I was disappointed. Saw Solo next. It was so bad, I haven't seen anything Star Wars since. My last trip to the theater was for Joker. The first one, not the musical sequel. I enjoyed it. Not what I expected, but good anyway. But then COVID happened and I beefed up my home theater setup. I have no interest in going back.
