OP may not live alone- you are making a lot of assumptions. Maybe their mother was a proud woman who didn't want to impose/intrude more than she already was. Their mother may live in another state, in which she is more comfortable

Those should have all been runaway hits. WoT and LOTR especially, all they had to do was stick to what made it successful in the first place. Instead Rand was sidelined, they made me hate Galadriel, et al. I can't imagine paying millio

He specifically said it was in Brazil. Saying 'not to be pedantic' doesn't make it any less so.

At least those entertained people. I couldn't get my fiancé's mother to stop re-installing bonzi buddy or whatever that toolbar was called because she 'loves the purple monkey, he's so cute!'

Indeed. I'm tired of data brokers masquerading as other things (search, email, whatever). Signed up for Kagi today and have been looking for a permanent gmail solution. Had this bundle been available today I'd have jumped on it.

I know it means nothing in the grand scheme of things, but y'all just got another customer. I'd been on the fence but after reading through these threads and seeing a real reply from a founder (its been a while since I've see

There was a show with Betty White where she was feeding a whole watermelon to a hippo she'd been friends with for over 20 years. It loved her and came right up to her. Possibly the Pet Set but I couldn't find the video all I could

I'll need some citations on those numbers. In states like Texas minimum wage is still $7.25/hr and many places pay just that. How do you reconcile your numbers with that? Bills have outpaced wages to the point nearly a whole gener

No, the reason why is price gouging. Or as companies like to call it 'not leaving money on the table'. Prices have outpaced inflation. Everything has, except worker pay and minimum wage. Profits are record-breaking while laying of

There being more of them doesn't make them any less millionaires. Which is besides the point anyhow. They need to pay their fair share like everyone else.

I got you, I have tons of family who are truckers and the stories abound of shady company tactics. When GPS first started being used in trucks they would take a bucket or something and cover it, it simply 'lost service'. None of t

And thus, the spice must flow. When I was a child I looked forward to all the amazing medical breakthroughs that would come in my lifetime. Now all I can imagine are companies patenting them, stifling innovation and causing prices to skyroc

Used to live by an area with a 'caution falling cows'[1] sign. Was never there longer than a few hours before being stolen again. Sure, you can buy them, but I guess it's not the same? Never did see it more than a handful of

I've had several sex worker friends who all chose to do it, save one. She was a real sweetheart but (and she knew this, and was candid about it), wasn't very bright. The backpage/kijiji thing hurt her bad. She had to start go

No it isn't, in fact I'd say not believing it plausible is the epitome of naivety, if not outright burying your head in the sand. I'll use the ongoing writer's strike as an example: The studios outright said[1] they want

Parent understands that. They sare saying we shouldn't be considered a social good. The free time to enjoy the one life we all have should be the social good. Why does everyone forget (for the US)- life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap

What a lot of companies (pp included) don't tell you is that when they use a phone as verification many only allow them from the Big 4. Tmobile Verizon ATT Sprint. Verification will fail not only with VOIP numbers but prepaid plans inc

When I read/hear things like OP's statement I try and remind myself I say/write things I look back on and regret all the time. Sometimes my face turns red from shame. Every day a bit wiser or whatever. I was in the army back

JFC, stop putting them on a pedestal. I've said this before but it bears repeating: CEO's aren't special. Bob Iger came back to Disney to finish it off. Shit, look at Elizabeth Holmes. No one deserves that much of a multiple

It's the exact same thing and every bit as shitty. As long as we- as a society, allow people to prey (read- profit ) off other people it will remain this way. I believe more and more of us are not OK with this, but it doesn't m

Then it's a hell of their own making. For all those hours writers have demonstrably been worse and worse every decade. If shows take forever to write now, it's because everything is written by committee. Regular writers are not pu
