I don't want us to leave individually, because that way we are just handing them our country. They get everything. I want us to leave collectively, and at least take back a piece of what's rightfully ours.

I've been thinking about trying a Fairphone next but I'm worried about how well their suite of apps function (especially maps), being able to install regular marketplace apps, and whether I'd still be able to fly my drone with it. Also I'd still have to use Gmail for work, so would that defeat the purpose of having a degoogled phone?

Fuck Vox. Forces you to agree to cookies before finding out you can't read the article anyway because its behind a paywall.

Wait so according to that quote, if increased police presence in public spaces creates increased violence, the answer is... more police in public spaces? And therefore more violence... This feels insane.

Hey, I think this may actually be fake. Did you notice the URL is nytco.com rather than the one all their news articles typically come from, nytimes.com?

There is a new trend of bad actors trying to impersonate big publications by changing the URL slightly and copying the website design. Some of them are very convincing. This one was hard to figure out because the NYT is indeed owned by NYT Company, but all news articles are posted through nytimes.com (with the exception of only this particular article). When you search for New York Times Company, nytco.com doesn't even come up.

I guess I don't understand this "professional career oriented program." Is it like a grad school? Is there a good chance all or some of you will end up working with each other at the same employer later? There should be lots of other places to find a partner. You must have some kind of social life outside of this program, right?

Dating is hard, but breaking up in a mutual way where both people can still respect each other is even harder. Imagine the drama there will be after you've dated a few people from this group. People in the program may take you less seriously because they think you're just there to find dates. But this is your career. Shouldn't you take it seriously?

If you really want to date someone there, you can, if you're smart about it (and make sure it's worth the risk, not just for any passing crush). But don't try to manipulate the whole group in order to do that. Don't use the chats to try to get close to someone. Do any non-professional stuff outside of the program, away from the others. Don't bring your relationship drama into the program, especially if the relationship ends. Think of all these rules as practice for how you will need to act professionally in your future career. That's what this program is for, isn't it?

According to the article, he was off duty. The mistake was letting him ride standby in the cockpit. The reason for his mental state doesnt really matter; he could have gotten drunk at the airport bar instead and pulled the same shit. What gets me is that none of the crew seemed to notice his altered mental state.

I want to be friends and stay professional overall, while tapping into potential with the guy I like

These things are not really compatible. The sooner you learn that, you will have a lot less workplace drama. Your professional workplace should not be a dating pool. There is no reason to exclude the other women. Who cares if one of them lied? Are you the moral police? Just chill, and let people do what they want. You don't need to control the situation.

Well then, I guess you should send the video to the DNC, since some YouTuber apparently knows more than the entire political apparatus that does this for a living and somehow doesn't know how anything about how elections work. Do you really think they would be stupid enough to change everything without first making sure their plan was even possible?

If the primary system is already "loosely democratic" then we're not really throwing anything away by choosing a different nominee. This already happened with Bernie. Should we reform the DNC to make it more democratic? Certainly, but that's a different problem and isn't going to happen in the next two weeks.

Is it only unacceptable to you if the party pushes him out? How would Biden stepping down due to health reasons (or any personal reason, really) undermine the rule of law?

The first four are remakes, but they're done very well.

Tokyo Vice

Shogun (not exactly a crime thriller but it will suck you in)

Ripley (shot like a black and white film from the 40's, good even if you've seen the Matt Damon movie)

Perry Mason

Yellowjackets

Altered Carbon

Big Little Lies

Nine Perfect Strangers

Dark Winds

If you like crime comedy, try White Lotus, Dead to Me, Search Party, Only Murders in the Building, Flight Attendant, and The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window.

Are people really taking those statements as actual support?? Politicians have to come out and condemn things like that. Everyone kinda knows it's just lip service, but it would be weirder if they didn't say anything. It's just tradition. It's not like Zelensky or Obama or Sanders actually want to protect Trump's ability to run now. But I do think they're glad he wasn't assassinated, because that would have made everything worse.
