I did the same for Gotye - Somebody that I used to know. I thought it was such a frustratingly terrible song, I couldn’t help but mock it when it came on. I genuinely thought I was living in a world full of people lying when I’d be at a party and others would say they loved it. For like 2 years I was just like “you’re kidding right?”

If it’s alternative rock, I’d imagine it’s something off this list:

Hoobastank - The Reason.
Puddle of Mudd - Blurry. Also, She Hates Me.
Evanescence - Bring Me to Life.
Trapt - Headstrong.
Audioslave - Like a Stone (mediocre song at best. Played non fucking stop for what felt like 5 years).
Three Days Grace - I Hate Everything About You.
Nickelback - How You Remind Me (specifically this one, but the rest of their discography too).
Seether - Broken.
Creed - With Arms Wide Open.

My understanding is that hardware companies usually alternate generations: one for performance, one for power. It seems like this is the balance that makes the market happy.

I took used to order $5 foot long chicken bacon ranch subs from subway.

I think this was the first version of that I heard:

My horse broke his leg. I called the vet and he said “Not much I can do. You’re gonna have to shoot 'em.”

I don’t know why.

But if he don’t start getting better soon I’ma have to shoot 'em again.

But… pushback is the whole reason you go on a date…

Pretty much the only notable thing about south Belgium is the massive number of US military personnel due to the NATO presence. So yeah, you can probably make an argument about it being an unofficial American territory.

That still doesn’t make sense. All this does is enable the PS VR headset to be used with a PC to play steam games. It gives people that already own a PS VR another option for usage: plugging it into a PC and playing VR games they purchased through steam. It lowers the barrier to entry for the user to experience PC VR games by being able to use hardware they already have on hand instead of having to purchase an Oculus or Index. Valve still gets their software sales cut because you can only use the PS VR to play games in your steam library on PC.

Yeah, this a common misconception (no pun intended?). The average life expectance was 40 because so many children died during childhood. If you lived to 20, you likely lived til you were 70.

Sounds like a dumb move. I thought the money was in software/game sales, not hardware that’s sold at a loss?

They’ve even got a special note for people like you:

Those who insist that nauseous can properly be used only to mean “causing nausea” and that its later “affected with nausea” meaning is an error for nauseated are mistaken. Current evidence shows these facts: nauseous is most frequently used to mean physically affected with nausea, usually after a linking verb such as feel or become; figurative use is quite a bit less frequent. Use of nauseous to mean “causing nausea or disgust” is much more often figurative than literal, and this use appears to be losing ground to nauseating. Nauseated is used more widely than nauseous when referring to being affected with nausea.

If you get laid off “ethically” (as in the company really does have budgeting issues and they really are trying to weather the storm and they really are cutting back your role which isn’t critical to continued business operations) then there might be potential options to come back in the future if the business can course correct.

If you’re getting laid off because they’re too cowardly to fire you, yeah. There’s no position to come back to.

Why the fuck did everyone think he was a muslim?

I don’t know man. You tell me.

You’re preaching to the chior. Try convincing the rest of the men in the world that they also can.

Tell that to the women I work with that had us roll back the 12x gender neutral toilet stalls into 5x men + 5x female + 2x genger neutral. Top complaint was “using a stall after a man has used it is disgusting”. The second highest complaint was that it smells like someone poo’d in the toilet… which is a strange complaint for a toilet.

Same here. Including the mucus covered tentacles.

It’s not disinformation, but it is partial information. They’re revealing enough information about their defense plans to make it clear that any invasion attempt on Poland will be costly. Russia does not have limitless resources. If they think they have enough resources to fight a war on two fronts, then it is in Poland’s best interest to both bolster their defenses, and let the enemy know they’ve bolstered those defenses in hopes that it changes the war cost equation enough for Russia to realize it is not favorable decision anymore.

It’s the geopolitical equivalent of finding out there’s been multiple breaking and enterings in your neighborhood recently, so you go out and buy a gun and place a “this house defended by Smith & Wesson” sign out front. You don’t tell them where in the house the gun is. You just give enough information for them to rethink their choice. The goal isn’t to defeat the burglar. The goal is to not get broken into.

It has been a noticeable phenomena in East Asia for about 2 decades longer than the West. They’ve been studying it longer/have more data.
