What I hate are systems like Amazon Smile, where you have to opt-in to the program, use a specific URL, and sometimes jump through more hoops (you can’t turn off notifications on your phone’s Amazon app if you want your app purchases to contribute to charitable donations) all to convince the company to donate some…

The problem is less that the store keeps the money for itself or for some kind of tax shenanigans and more that it uses it as a kind of marketing. Companies love claiming “we support the local community,” getting the CEO’s picture in the news holding a giant novelty check, and funding those campaigns with checkout…

That drives me absolutely fucking insane on my Series 3 as well. Most of the minor updates install without a problem, but anything with any substance gives you the bullshit “you don’t have enough space on your device” to run the update. Even if you have absolutely nothing on your device but the default items, you…

I’d like to hear that from one of the accounting firms that does their taxes instead of a 3rd party talking about how it ‘should’ be. 

I would like to take this opportunity, again, to thank Apple for sending out frequent security updates, as well as making it completely impossible to update my Apple Series 3 watch without starting from scratch and resetting the entire thing.

I haven’t seen the tweet, but this:

BREAKING: The CEO of a large company is vaguely optimistic about the chances of receiving a contract from the federal government.

In a more sane world, everyone would just use the NCAA’s testosterone policy, and then be open to monitoring outcomes over the course of years or even decades as we continue to accrue more observations of trans athletes. This is a topic where I don’t really care about people’s opinions right now. I think the…

“It’s not a politically progressive game: these identities are all in service of the game’s vision of the cyberpunk future, one that can feel implausible and alienating but also has hints of the world we live in today.”

Every single car does this automatically. It’s how defroster settings work.

This whole sordid episode is yet another demonstration that the right now lives in a reality-free bubble of its own construction. All allegations that support their positions are to be accepted without any forensic analysis whatsoever, no matter how facially preposterous they are; all explanations that debunk these…

The sad thing is, it wasn’t hard to research.  A quick Google search reveals how unnecessary this whole article is.  It’s just mean for no reason.

This whole article is cringey, mean spirited and poorly informed. You don’t need to “hope” that they froze rent. You can read the article written by one of your colleagues which explicitly says they did.

Or she’s in the middle of filming in a wig and was on a break

She is acting in a role where she has to wear a wig (see her Instagram post from 10/28/2020).  The wig needs to fit to her head tightly and braiding your hair close to your head is one of the best ways to do that.  

i feel this is a good place to leave these links:

Lol that’s not even close to extreme. The Bundy’s did essentially the same thing and the Feds let them walk away.

what you describe was going to happen anyway, even if this had been a landslide. The GOP and their constituents excel at sitting on the sidelines and sniping at Dems who sincerely want to govern and make peoples lives better, because the GOP excels at conveying messages so simple to their cavemen that even they can…

And it wouldn’t matter even if she did wear Walmart specials on the cover, they’d just accuse her of pandering, because they’re principle-less culture warriors. They couldn’t care less about anything other than winning for the sake of winning.

The Ben and Jerrys non-dairy ones are fantastic.
