I have no doubt her attitude in the moment was not one that would warrant a polite response. Entitled customer. Still, you represent the company when you are on the job.

So, we can’t raise taxes to pay for food for children, but we can hope Chobani comes through for this one city this one time?

I’ve read several posts and articles on this and many of the comments and I don’t have answers to several questions. Please:

So, not a fan.  Thanks for the long post explaining.

I had never heard of this game until this year when my students played it, but I didn’t get it at first.

So, I’m going to invest in the VR for a kid who may or may not be interested. He’s a big Switch kid and loves the VR rig at the local teen center. I don’t want to go all in only to have it laying around underutilized like the Snap Circuits and Mindstorm 2.0, but I think he’ll dabble.

Civil forfeiture (or Civic, if you’re in a Honda) would be my worry. I’m in MY car, and someone rips out and the police impound all of our cars.

Which is based on a graphic novel, so it had a plot and character development to rely on. Video games have mythology and rely on the player to provide the dimension (action). Difficult.

I work at an elementary school, one of the few men on faculty, and there is a thing called a “glass escalator”. People often ask if I’m going to “move up” to the high school or become an administrator. They rarely ask that of our female teachers, but being a “mere” elementary classroom teacher seems below us males. 

Can someone get all of that shit off of the desk?!

Captain Marvel didn’t make sense because she is clearly so much more powerful than anyone else that it makes is all seem silly. While Iron Man and the boys struggle, she could mop up Thanos in a second. Why not? The contrast made it all seem less.

Before The Deathly Hallows came out I read an article that claimed people who jump to the end of a book struggle with control issues.

Perhaps that support group is really one for lesser superheroes. Like, maybe there’s one in a church basement in New York with Jessica Jones having lost Luke Cage? In some future movie Grieving Guy turns out to be able to teleport and he’s a regional Avenger. That would be great. Perhaps this is the Russo’s holding…

My favorite touch was having no post-credit scene.  Done.  The End.  Nada.

I built a Mycroft with a Raspberry Pi last year. It was limited (open sourced and dependent on the collective to make it better), but cool. They claim they don’t save anything.

I’ve always loved Star Wars’ very basic interface. Simple shapes. Blue. Beeping. Along the same lines, Alien and the original Battlestar Galactica and all had that functional, gritty look that went with the looms of wires hanging out of every removed panel and the grease on their jumpsuits. A product of their time.

Sanders doesn’t have a black woman problem. Sanders’ problem is that he doesn’t like anyone to disagree with him.

Like the downfall of cable, someone is going to figure out that they can put this or that show on pay-channel or Amazon. I’ll pay $1.99 for an episode of Outlander, but don’t really want Starz.

I think if you worry to much about timelines in this universe’s telling and that universe’s telling you’ll wonder how Bruce Wayne’s parents can die at so many different entertainment venues and it just unravels from there.

True, which is what made this article so odd to me. Two-thirds felt like fawning, to which I thought “this is sponsored” while the one-third (near the end) that criticized it all did not in any way match the tone of first part.
