It seems to me that most spam calls spoof the Caller ID. For example I notice that many of the ones I get come from the same area code and prefix as my cell number or my Google Voice number. So spam calls could appear to be coming from any random number, and therefore there’s no way to block them. Am I right here?

I wish so badly I had that option, but my work means I get calls from all sorts of unknown numbers and I have to answer them. Seriously, count yourself lucky.

It is insane that I have never met him and yet I despise him.

I feel like my hate for the man has actually lessened the amount of hate I feel toward other people in my life, as if I have only a finite reservoir of hatred and he’s taking the lion’s share.

I’m astonished by this as well. I hate him with the heat of a thousand million laser cats.

I didn’t know I could fucking hate a person THIS much.

So out of ALL the other players who have protested that he choose to hate, he just HAPPENED to pick Marshawn Lynch...

Don’t you know that the whole purpose of the US military is to fight abroad so that cops can kill unarmed black men at home? To protest that is to disrespect all our military does to make sure brown people around the world can experience equal opportunity murder.

Those are the same guys that use I did X tours in Afghanistan or Iraq as a conversation starter whilst bragging about how many terrorists they killed.

“It’s not a race thing,” Burle told KOMU. “A lot of people want to twist it around to be a race thing.”

Seconded. My military fam gives zero fucks about people “respecting the troops.” They just want working equipment/competent leadership when they’re deployed and a health care system that works when they’re discharged.

As a veteran, I hate statements like this. The vast majority of soldiers I served with cared about two things: their own asses, and the asses of the people they served with. Loud, open-faced patriotic zeal was reserved for crazies, glory-hogs, and the chumps who thought their shit smelled better than everyone else’s.

“Prima dona players,” “disrespecting the flag, anthem, and our country....” What a load of horseshit. Amazing that someone capable of wiring so clearly cannot reason so clearly.

Methinks you confuse patriotism and nationalism.

Have gizmodo comments always been a bastion of completely shit takes from complete fuck heads that just regurgitate sean hannity talking points verbatim while desperately trying to sound eloquent or enlightened, or have i just not been paying attention

What’s more American than having the freedom to choose whether or not stand up for the flag?

Trevor Noah said it best....

Take it away, Uncle Dale:

buddy, shut the fuck up

To each his own. I love Donkey Kong Country, especially the music. I don’t particularly like the artstyle, but I love the animations and the personality of it. I’ll never say no to a session if I have time and opportunity to play.
