I had a pretty similar reaction. I’ll take peoples’ word that this was meant to be some kind of racist statement, but I’m pretty much oblivious to the specific implications. It just looks like someone picked up some random litter and tossed it on a tree to me.

Yeah, but like gamey, stringy pork, apparently. Not the good stuff.

I have the exact same problem. And no matter how many password rules you try to factor in to your formula, there’s always going to be that one site that breaks it.

I appreciate what you’re saying here, but I feel like this is the same logic manufacturers use when they decide not to include a charger/power supply. “Oh surely they have several of these already!” Though granted this is a bit less necessary.

Moreover, every site has a slightly different set of rules, but only tells you what they are during the password generation process. So if you forgot what THIS particular site wants when trying to reconstruct what password you set, there’s no way to find out until you’ve sent out that Forgot Password request and are…

They aren’t still loading. They don’t even try to load until you scroll down to them. It’s a thing a lot of sites seem to do now where embedded content (including images local to the site) don’t load until the browser puts them in focus. It’s supposed to be good for minimizing bandwidth, but personally I hate it.…

My younger brother and I watched this every Saturday morning. Until one day my mom woke up early and saw some of it. After that she banned us from watching us and made a point to wake up early enough to make sure we didn’t. I never really did understand why.

The message I got out of it was that warehouse jobs are horrible, tedious, soul-crushing jobs best handled by robots. And you should be grateful to have them. I have to believe that wasn’t what they were trying for, but that’s what I got.

Even when you CAN apply at the store, they sit you down at a computer that connects to literally the same website you would have accessed from anywhere. This has been true for many years now. I visited a Social Security office once, and the method of application was the same: a computer that connected to the Internet…

This was my immediate thought. Like, if she had to replace her Chozo armor with something man-made, it might look like this.

You’ve accidentally hit on an especially tragic point here. This was a drill. Like a fire drill. They didn’t concern themselves with the reality of the situation, because it is utterly unreal and meaningless. Getting shot and killed in school is just another natural disaster kids drill for, like fire or tornadoes or…

They used to do that here! At some point they just... stopped. Honestly, it’s rare I even see a greeter now.

This reminds me so much of my dad, who hates it when players celebrate a goal or show any kind of personality in general, in terms of both behavior and appearance. He rails about how they’re being paid to do a job, and so they shouldn’t express themselves or celebrate their accomplishment.

Systems exist, but they are up to the individual employer to implement them. There may be some states that mandate paid leave, but I am not sure. When considering state-level laws, they vary quite widely throughout the country.

This episode just reinforces my growing conviction that Steven is a Princess. A title I bestow with the utmost love and respect for him.

Nah, you’re just confused because there’s essentially no difference between the two. I’m not even sure why you’d even feel a need to translate The Fifth Element into 80s anime style. It’s pretty much that already.

Amethyst has always been able to shapeshift easier and for longer periods of time than any of the others. It’s kind of her main deal, powers-wise.

My parents started attending non-denominational Christian churches in the last several years, and my mother (a former Catholic) shocked me when she happily informed me that one thing she’d learned was that she doesn’t have to do good works to get into heaven. Just “accept Jesus”. Anything else is surplus to…

If it was separate registers or something I might go with that, but it’s all together. It’s no harder to split the price of an item than not with a computerized register.

These combo restaurants never seem to leverage their shared menus. I’m sure if you ASK you can get weird hybrid stuff, but it’s never on the menu. There’s a Taco Bell/Long John Silver’s in my area, and it baffles me that you can’t get a fish taco there.
