This is just said from my perspective and I understand that others might not share it - Fine with me. They're acquaintances. Nobody has 200+ "friends", we have a handful of them. Is it nice to know that someone I hung out wit

If I recall correctly, the handle you deleted stays inactive and is unavailable to new registrants. This is present on Google at least, I assume it's the same elsewhere.

The context in this article is far more corporate and far less personal than what you describe. It's corporations and wealthy people within them hoping to not have their feet held to the fire for decisions that they know might not be a

Hah, her comment after that is equally fantastic.

Tangential, but I see the same arguments being made as I discuss completely abandoning social media this week - "But where else can we go to find out about X/Y/Z?". I dunno, but we can figure that out, we always have. Ma

I think $30billion was in reference to a fine that was thought could've been imposed on Apple last year. I don't think that actually happened, though. https://gizmodo.com/apple-30-billion-violating-eu-digital-ma.

I agree that OP's idea glosses over and ignores a lot of things, but ill-spirited sarcasm is the quickest way to get someone to be defensive and argumentative rather than open to a different viewpoint/perspective had you kindly of

Exactly this. We've had two decades of watching whether or not his words match his actions. I'm glad that someone might enjoy listening to another person wax poetic relatively unchallenged for three hours, but there have been 156,

This requires us to trust what comes out of his mouth. If folk are still doing that after all this time, I've got a mighty large bridge you'd likely be interested in purchasing.

Semantics. I'd replace "shareholder value" with "making a chunk of people insanely wealthy".

No it doesn't[1]. Dropping the quotes just yields a bunch of results with those words, but nothing resembling what I'm looking for. I was very confident when I posted my initial comment that this was the case - after all, those fo

Reminds me of an old radio broadcast or some kind of audio recording that I've been trying to find for ~25 years. My mom had listened to it when she was younger, and had somehow managed to get it onto cassette tape for us to listen to

Howdy! I've been huge into electronic music since I was 12 (currently 38). Literally fell in love with the music for the sake of the music. Started going out at 18, didn't try drugs until my mid-20's. Enjoy drugs, sometimes I
