I look forward to seeing all the Blue Lives Matter proponents stand in solidatory with Officer Gaston. Perhaps they will come to the realization that they are by extension supporting Black Lives Matter, and through that realize that the aforementioned movement seeks to highlight the disparity of how persons of color…

There are so many terrifying bits to unpack in your relatively short story and I don’t know which is actually ‘worse’:

For about 2 years now I’ve been getting e-mails meant for someone who lives in South Carolina. She’s been very interested in refinancing her home and LoanDepot keeps trying to contact her via e-mail but she never responds.

Right? This is why I don’t understand the argument against single-payer.

Doesn’t make sense to me. Pack of Post-it notes cost me a couple bucks, I can take notes for the entire year or longer, and have replacements for my camera cover. Or I can spend the same amount of money, and just get a plastic dongle that covers my camera. And that’s it

Just curious, but you do realize that if someone has control of your camera, they’re in full control of the rest of your machine, right?

Yeah but I’ve found that when the tape inevitably shrinks and grows brittle it leaves behind an ugly residue.  The post-it I’m using covers everything up nicely and the glue isn’t nearly as strong. 

I have never used Zoom.

Our godson is in that bartering stage... ‘just 1 more...’ or ‘but if I could...’ The approach my husband is to set ground-rules before whatever activity occurs, and then we stick to them.

A friend gifted us this crappy Netgear wifi-extender a couple years back, the kind that plugs into a wall outlet and just creates a ‘_EXT’ copy of your network. We use it to trick our PS4 into thinking it has a wired connection.

You call it a very weird solution... I call it an excellent one.

Personally I am glad that people are realizing that someone who says nice things and seems very likable isn’t qualified for president for saying nice things and seeming very likable.

Not at all. I just refuse to let go of holding Splinter and other blogs that purport to be reliable sources of news and information to some standard of what ‘reliable’ ought to be.

That’s very true, but also very easy to fix!

This article is making some assumptive leaps that you don’t find in the New York Times article; mainly creating the sense of a correlation between their deaths and accusations of border patrol agents maliciously sabotaging life-saving water supplies.

So here’s what you really need to understand.

Can’t say I’m surprised. How many arguments have we witnessed where the whole drama of it all is based on a fundamental miscommunication or misconception.

It’s known for the brutal violence enacted on prisoners by guards, horrendous overcrowding, and terrible treatment of mentally ill inmates.

I left it unfinished because while I have a blast playing the game I’m at that stage where I either (a) Go and beat the game or (b) Do everything else that is optional.

Completely understandable, especially given how long Square has been publishing titles. Data preservation is a challenge for every industry.
