I agree with you as far as Hip-Hop quality goes (assuming that "gangster" encompasses things like Old School East Coast, G-Funk, etc). There was a beauty in how limited the production assets of Hip-Hop were in those days, which fo

Right, but before it just loaded the page of the album/playlist and told you to sign in to your account. It has never allowed you to play songs without a sign in.

You're talking about Big Picture, which has been a thing for.. 8 years? Maybe 10? The compositor is what runs two layers down, under the window manager.

That seems very unlikely. Apple doesn't save your physical SIM PIN, so it would mean leaving your phone untouched for a while would automatically make it unreachable, since you need to enter the SIM PIN after a reboot.

Not to mention, guys live the other side of the coin: you can often go months, weeks or years without a genuine compliment. Two particular instances I remember: - a couple of streamers in a chat, and this was brought up. One of the girls in

That’s why if you developed a dependence you don’t quit cold turkey. The strategy I’ve heard is purchasing a normal bottle, and refilling it with boiled cool water when it’s ½ empty. Then refilling it again when it’s ¾ empty. Xylometazoline

It's even simpler than that: people saw that the economy was good for a large part of Trump's presidency and it was in a bumpy state during Biden's presidency. They aren't intelligent enough to realize that correlation !

I work in the EU, and I'd rather see the American "at-will" system, but with a basic income + additional financial distress protections. It is IMO ridiculous that in a lot of EU countries, chronic low performance is not just

Charles Dickens writes a book. Everyone copies and sells it without permission. Charles Dickens starves. Charles Dickens either becomes a factory worker or dies. No more Charles Dickens books.

How else are you going to pay the people writing articles, creating content and doing research? Not every person/site can run on Patreon or sponsorship deals. And paywalling a lot of the web would exclude vast swathes of people.
