This has become a common strategy for large businesses to cull their employees - "return to office", relocating HQ; it's done in hopes most of those employees opt to quit so the business doesn't have to fire them / give them a severance or whatever.
Sounds like in this case the bluff was called.
Probably wondering why their date is taking a picture of the charcuterie board.
Which other Sim games are you eyeballing? I've been craving a good non-EA Sims game.
The emperor is back, somehow!... again!
Hi everyone, OP's either a troll or a poorly guided person. Exclusion has never worked. Safe spaces are not about insulating yourself from what you don't agree with. Safe spaces are where you have support and protection from people who'd do you harm.
Exclude straights? What about bisexuals? What about bis in a hetero relationship? What about women, are you going to card them to see if they're straight or not? What about hetero-presenting gays? You see how this works, right?
What about the "straights" who might be gay & are looking for support? OP apparently doesn't support any LGBTQ+ person unless they fit their idea of what "gay" is. More than incisive, it's absurd. Bordering on hilarious.
Something specific has clearly upset OP, and it's not literally every heterosexual in the world. Heteros should be welcome in LGBTQ+ environments, and if youβre not into that kind of inclusion I'd like you to take a moment, suck a dick, and remember you are also responsible for creating a safe space for other LGBTQ+ people.
Pretty sure he says (and the article quotes him)
"I want to wish you all a happy Father's Day, but please, please, please wear a helmet. If I didn't, honestly, I wouldn't be here now."
Holy nuts that bruise is a beaut! https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/1536/cpsprodpb/1a06/live/a42086d0-2b5e-11ef-bdc5-41d7421c2adf.png.webp
The marketing spin calling LLMs "Artificial Intelligence" doesn't help.
lol genuinely misread you there, however if you read the rest of the comment that typo makes no difference. I'll correct it
a lot people haven't stored music locally for a decade or longer
Yeah, digital sales have greatly outpaced physical, but more people are discovering how little control they have over "their" music library.
The alternative to "building a library" is to stick with services that will constantly increase in price & decrease in quality. You have no control over whether your favorite band(s) are available, and no recourse if their catalog disappears for whatever reason. You will be forced to scroll through "suggested content" (ads) regardless of your subscription, and the musicians see depressingly little of the money they make for the service.
"Building a library" can be as simple as buying an album based on a song you enjoyed on the radio. There's no "lock-in", there's no always-increasing monthly bill, and there's no chance of the store saying "uh you can't listen to that anymore". It's dead simple, but certainly not as flexible as streaming.
Side note - I'm absolutely the type of person who would take the time and "re-build" my library, but I acknowledge I'm in a small minority of people, there. I also love shuffling through playlists which is impossible to do with physical media. Until I find a magic answer I'm right here with the rest of you with a streaming service.
but I want music streaming
Hey, that's fine & I get it - so much easier to shuffle a playlist than figure out which album you won't mind hearing front-to-back again. I'm eyeballing old iPod Classics for that - I've seen folks mod them with sizable drives and better batteries. Dunno that I want to put in the effort, myself, but I love the idea of "upcycling" old tech.
Getting back to my original reply: my main point was you don't need these conveniences, much less having them built into your phone. Yep, music streaming is wonderfully handy & I use it every day, but practically speaking there are other methods.
Yes indeed
