Which, as the article states, they are starting to end that practice.

“Modest?” $14 a month? $5 would be modest. I literally pay less for whole as streaming services.

I hate southerners and am from a proud Union state. What the hell are you talking about?

We called it senioritis. That sudden change of excitement to dread as seniors realize they are going to be separated from the peer group they’re mostly been with for years at their local school and now have to go out and make something of themselves on a new, unfamiliar environment.

Also, smaller niche communities just haven’t taken off like news and memes have.

The 787 entered service in 2011. I would not call that a very long time.

They absolutely should have produced a clean sheet 737 replacement. But cost overruns from the 787 program, competition from the much faster to develop A320neo, and worries about existing operators going A320 if they developed a new type rating stupidity scared them off.

I despise any corporate apologists and fanboys. The fact that people complain about interoperability issues tells you many reject your idea.

The way Apple is going, my next phone will probably be a FairPhone that operates Android.

Removed by mod

You can get a new android under $200. And google has their own feature to locate their phones.

There are a lot more cheap Android options. I wouldn’t want to get a kid a pricey iPhone for their first smartphone.

What gentlemen’s club takes money from women and then denies them entry?

Therein lies the problem. They want a woman-only exhibit, then they need to deny men admission from the museum in entirety. But that would probably be detrimental to the museum’s bottom line. But you can’t take money from men and then deny equal access, nor can you do it to women.

men are certainly experiencing the artwork as it’s intended

Perhaps that is the intent of the curator, but what evidence is there this is what the artists intended. Picasso write somewhere “I only want the ladies to see this one?”

It’s a dumb approach that will not make the point the curator thinks it will make. And I bet that person would be pissed if there were a male-only exhibit.

Exclusive men’s social clubs have existed all over the world, including Canada and particularly thrived in the 19th century. These exclusionary clubs often only accepted white members and barred women from entering the space,

And those clubs didn’t deny women access after they paid for m admission

Why does this discussion immediately turn to culling and eugenics? It’s like you can’t even admit there could be a problem. Fixing it will be hard, but few suggest those steps are the solution. Instead, it starts with realizing everyone can’t have the standard 2.5 kids. We cannot just keep going. Earth is finite and has finite resources. Adding people means less and less is available to everyone else. But people that want a ton of kids hate hearing that. So it becomes solution aversion (if you don’t like a solution, deny there is a problem) and strawmen, like claiming anyone that thinks there is overpopulation wants eugenics.

And they are never satisfied.

“Biden must demand an immediate ceasefire!”

Biden: I demand an immediate ceasefire!

“Biden isn’t doing enough!”

Arbitration clauses need to be banned, at least for regular consumer purchases.

But thanks to lobbying, that will never happen.

But at least I know never to ever buy anything from LG and Kenmore.

She clearly exaggerated her claims. The article says “The constant pain in her back, neck and thoracic spine left her unable to lift groceries, do chores or play with her two children.” Yet she can toss a Christmas tree, and win the whole competition? She can play with a dog for over an hour, but can’t play with her children?

She tried swinging for the fences for the largest payout and missed. She may vey well experience pain, but once you start lying, where does the lie stop? If she wants a payout for a dynamic disability, that’s what she needs to claim

Eh, they took it too far. He literally became an asshole. He didn’t seem like he was trying to be a friend at all.

They also needed to give him more backstory. We see young Bumi for what, a minute? Show us the kid Aang had fun with.

Zuko’s crew being the soldiers he saved is also a great change. As is getting more Gyatzo.

The biggest issue is a lot of the acting and writing. The actors for Aang and Katara just were not the best, though I’m more apt to blame showrunners that don’t know how to deal with kids, as most older actors are great. And the whole series of episodes in Omashu and then the forest/spirit world were convoluted and stupid.

The other issue is changing characters completely. Bumi going from a fun loving crazy old man trying to teach Aang important lessons is now a crazy bitter old man attacking his childhood friend. The past Avatars, rather that being loving mentors, are just useless at best, mean at worst. And with Suki no longer being a foil for Sokka’s sexism, they turned her into a horny flirt.

Civil disobedience: refusal to obey governmental demands or commands especially as a nonviolent and usually collective means of forcing concessions from the government - Merriam-Webster

This is not civil disobedience by any definition. It is violent, and it is not refusing to follow an unjust law.

Tell me, when did Dr. King or Ghandi shoot missiles at people?

Israel is guilty for what it’s doing, but blaming Israel for these Houthi attacks is ridiculous.

The Houthis are self serving in these attacks. As they have claimed land, support has turned against them because it turns out they suck at providing services to the people that live in areas they control. So they are falling back to the one popular policy they have: supporting Palestinians, and fighting back against “imperialists.”

Except attacking ships in the Red Sea is doing nothing for the Palestinians. Maybe if they only targeted Israeli vessels of ships heading to/from there, but they are not. Even getting bombed has an upside as it reinforces their underdog anti-imperialist messaging.
