Thank you - that’s what I’ve been thinking. Maybe read up on LBJ first before you spread such confident conspiracy theories?

LOL! I can’t tell if this is a joke / satire that I’m missing, but LBJ DEF didn’t have JFK killed, esp for Monroe - wut?

Sorry this is an aside: but why’re we still doing this? It stopped being funny a long long time ago, doesn’t contain any information in regards to OP’s question, and we all know in real life people mean XOR when they say OR. so I’m just cur

No in this case it was just the pearling. :) otherwise we do use master without a second thought in all the forms of the examples you gave.

Not arguing that you’re wrong, but as a (counter / data)-point, both me and my friend were… relieved (for lack of a better word) when the convention of referring to things as master / slave in computing changed to primary / r

This sounds a LOT like “there’s always been slavery throughout human history - I’m not denying the transatlantic slave trade was brutal. But we need to put it into context [insert Wikipedia article talking about the history of slavery]”. Yo

You’re making it either / or and it’s not. I can feel sympathetic to the Uyghurs, fight for their rights, canvass my representatives, donate to charities etc. But I (a black African man) can never truly know or experience what the aver

I don’t think this is correct. Just yesterday I was thinking about the many brave white people who fought as abolitionists to end the slave trade, risking their lives. But they could never truly understand what it was to be a slave, because

I kept rereading it to see if perhaps I missed something - even went on his twitter and his blog. And his quotes are being repeated verbatim - really showed the danger of having journalists work on stories in areas where they have absolutel

I think the fact that you keep framing this as a matter of “opinion” is revealing in itself. You speak of “provocation” as if it’s equal and commensurate to bombing and invading a country. I really cannot understand people who keep pushing

My dude, I’m saying calling 50p a “surprise fee” is quite a stretch, and a couple minutes to fill up a tank isn’t a “delay”. What policy are you talking about - that I disagree with your summation? Didn’t know that was against the rules.

Stopping for gas is a 50p “surprise fee” now :-D nice. And filling up the tank takes what - a couple mins? Smh

by amrangaye 5y ago
No - a “reasonable” person wouldn’t be haggling over 50p because the driver stopped to get gas. I’ve never seen anyone - couldn’t even imagine it before I read this - reverse charging a driver because they stopped for gas on the way. Those

Meh - they’re being asked to take jabs, wear masks, and be tested. It’s not that deep - we are in a public health crisis. I guess the next set of “protests” will be for people’s freedom to use carbon, against the tyranny of renewable energy

I’m sorry but I can’t help but ask: what is this? Is OP your worker and this is work comms? Just curious.

by amrangaye 5y ago
What is your use case here? Why would you want to send an SMS to another user who also has iMessage? Or do you mean you think that should just be a capability of any messaging service?

by amrangaye 5y ago
Yeah no - just like the sister comment I too have never met anyone who doesn’t know the difference. I think you’re underestimating the intelligence of the average “non tech” user.

Not only that (how tech brought you out of poverty), the calculus is also very different for immigrant workers on immigrant visas. I wish their perspective was more represented in the conversation.

Do you have anything to support this “dummies” claim? What I remember from the N95 “guidance” (it wasn’t a “ban” iirc) was that the reason was to ensure there was enough supply of them for healthcare / frontline workers, who need them

But in this case wouldn’t it be more like they keep seeing people around them being burnt to death all the time, and you have a pretty solid theory of why this happens / how to predict the next burn victims, but they keep insisting it’

But is it really “alarmism” to yell at people inside a house on fire that they need to “get the hell out now!” even if some people in a separate part of the building (not touched by the fire yet) insist that the growing heat is due to somet

Perhaps you should educate yourself about this, instead of dismissing it as outrage to bore my friends with. You can start with this article: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/07/20/the-invention-..

Yes I know about the structure of a film, dialog etc. But even with that kind of breakdown it still comes down to whether you like the film or not, which is completely subjective. Back in the day Ebert and Siskel - arguably the top film cri

Like the comment you’re replying to said: this is your opinion. I loved Mandalorian and looked forward to it every week. I - and my friends who watched it - certainly didn’t see it as boring drivel or an “unassuming adventure for kids” (I d

I agree with everything you said, but I don’t think it’s fair to blame “mentally ill” people. Not attacking you or anything but I think it was a poor choice of words in this case, and way too broad a brush to even apply :)
