I think you may be reading too much into it..

At the end of the day its a “money” thing.. and given the books have sold well over 100M in almost 50 languages, its safe to say its popular enough to be sold as a movie (again). And so the thinking MAY be (don’t know, never been a movie producer, though I have financed a…

I suspect it won’t be a “adaptation” and more like an “inspired by” situation.. Where they will pretty much strip it down to its “bones” and then build on top of it what WILL work for a film. Which is going to piss off the “purists” and religious fundamentalist because it won’t be what they are expecting..

In short,…

Who are you imaging “skynet” to be in this example here?

More like this I suspect..

There is a difference... Your dentist falls under HIPPA guidelines and data breaches can result in lawsuits (even if they are large targets because of the sadly usual lack of security in the US).

A porn site doesn’t really fall under any such controls.. and you can bet that if a data breach does occur with a impending…

I always love those idiots that like to say things like “white people invented everything” ignoring the fact that:

1: Almost all inventions are typically built on top of other innovations/components (Its not like 1 person or group sat down build from start to finish)
2: “Popular” history his usually not completely…

But that’s my point.. if the city/government steps in and sets a cap to be 0%, then the reality is there won’t be ANY rental properties available because its unsustainable (NO ONE gets into the rental business to lose money)...which will quickly become public housing (paid for by taxes).. and you can bet your last…

Ok..

And its the sales price (assuming its accepted) that sets the bar for the next family moving in.. This in turn encourages other long term owners to potentially sell.. to cash out as it were and they won’t be selling for lower than market value.. in fact they would be selling at or higher than market value.. which…

The city can’t do much about rent control prices.. since its up to the owners/landlords to set prices and its up to the consumers to rent AT those prices.. (Capitalism). The city can cap rent increases (like most have done).. but rent control doesn’t mean NO RENT INCREASES.. it just means there are caps to the amount…

I think the point here is manufacturers have a “Best before” date or a “Sell by Date”. A lot of people confuse these dates with “the food is bad by this date” when in fact in most cases its perfectly safe to eat. That is the waste they are aiming to eliminate with these sensors since it would help people to understand…

Its usually not so much cost recouperation but rather keeping the “wolves” at bay. You want to punish the minor shoplifters so the major ones (or worse) don’t come. Most crooks will gleefully take the low hanging fruit that is “easy” shoplifting vs. the more difficult one with active theft deterrents and punitive…

Commonly referred to as a loss leader... ie: selling something at cost or below to get you in the store for which you will 9 out of 10 times will purchase at least 1-2 other things (possibly more). Costco has been doing it for years with their hot dogs, rotisserie chicken, etc... its all about getting people IN the…

Honestly, most people should just do what I used to do in NY when I had a costco membership.. me and 4-6 friends would split the cost of the executive membership and then when we went shopping... it was a group effort.

This solved 3 things..

Honestly I prefer the metal version to the brooks brother’s covered version of a dog turd that still seems to haunt us like Friday the 13th part 666

I won’t let the trolls out of their pen... But I will comment that Samhain’s response is about as real as his intelligence.

But lets educate the poor deluded fool.

What you don’t see is the dollars he’s stuffing into her shorts.. thereby showing her how he found his wives and how she should do it too.

Or they will claim that his comments were “taken out of context” or cheato’s favourite: “I never said that....” (never mind the audio/video recordings).

10 bucks says they spin this as anti-LBGTQ+ somehow.. like how incest is somehow “better” and more “noble” than someone being gay or trans.. and how its even “valid” by the bible given there are numerous examples of incest in the Bible. The most commonly thought-of examples are the sons/daughters of Adam and Eve (Genes…

I’m less worried about their position within the confines of prison.. I’m more worried about the implication at a wider level.

For example: It sets precedent that the KKK (and its various offshoots and local “chapters”, various Neo-Nazi groups (and their various flavors, offshoots, and chapters), ProudBoys, and a host…

Lets also note that she has a double edged sword not doing too much AND not doing too little. The fervent right was expecting her to “run the president” so if she took the reins to get things working it would validate their fears/expectations.. and if she stays in the background (as most VP’s tend to do) and work on…
