What’s annoying about this isn’t the canonical mispronunciation, it’s the intent behind it.

Instead of setting the record straight and pronouncing it the way it is actually pronounced, they just decided that the fans (and, let’s be entirely honest, specifically the Western fans) were too lazy and stupid to say it…

Imagine not remembering that this was the way it used to be.  No one went shopping at the airport then, they wont do it now.  It just means that people who are stuck at the airport have to suffer less.  If means you can meet people during layovers for lunch or shopping.

This ain’t a unique take, but it is the correct one.

Sensationalist headline. The teacher signed a morality contract with the school, she breached it, and the school terminated the contract as per the contract. The lesson here is don’t do business with or work for private religious organizations.

It’s honestly criminal how good the Volt was for the US market and how badly it’s cancellation hurt us in the long run. I recently bought a 2018 Volt with all the trimmings and very low mileage used for about 25k, and it is basically perfect for my purposes.

I make a solid wage but I’m not paying 50k for ANYTHING, much less a vehicle that can only go 60% of the range of my current car.

Considering most SDCC panels are part of promoting a project an actor is part of....I’d wager they will not show up because doing so would be crossing the picket line to help promote whichever project they were scheduled to appear on a panel for.

Weird. Normal people don’t want to buy a $50k car with 7% interest rates, tech that’s outdated faster than a modern smartphone, a business model that’s constantly pushing microservices, and tracks all your movements with no way to opt out or find out where that information is going?

I assume the idea is that these are all designed around integrating with Gmail, rather than something like Outlook or Thunderbird that are designed as traditional email clients that can work with Gmail, though usually by losing features (I don’t know first-hand, I’ve never had a reason to use Gmail with anything other…

Finding lost Jedi who had escaped the Purge has been a thing for literal decades. It didn’t just start in 2019, or even 2005.

I remember saturn no haggle pricing split people into the hate it or love it camps. Bros that thought that they would always be able to negotiate a better price hated it. Others liked it because they did not pay more because they did not look like the salesman at the dealership.

You would think they could just make a family qr code that does one parent and all kids with a single scan

I’ve never had the battery die on a piece of paper.

So a phoney CEO set up to fail (Elon is not giving up anything except the title). Another Reichwing QAnon adjacent adherent to boot. I’m seeing a pregnancy announcement in her future.

Katee Sackhoff is 43 years old. And she is playing a character in a science fiction show that grew up on a different planet. People age in all different ways, especially fictional people.

No, they’re a private company. You are under no obligation to comply with anything a Pinkerton demands of you. However, they are likely very pushy and attempt to intermediate people into compliance.
