That's what's missing in tech today. We haven't caught up as a society to the tech we have. There should be no more new tech until people learn how to behave.
If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?
Instead of complaining about legacy tech "holding them back", maybe these "financial service" companies should invest in some better tech instead of using those record profits for stock buybacks and bonuses to C-level management. You've been eating out on the backs of taxpayers all through this last decade of the government giving you free money. Maybe it's time to do something that won't, you know, bring down the fucking economy again.
RuPaul's Drag Race is a Viacom property. It's a great show. Imagine Duck Dynasty, except a lot more gay and with singing fabulous songs instead of slaughtering a bunch of water fowl.
Absolutely not. I love parades. I think the idea of the latest military hardware rolling down the street while members of the armed forces are forced to salute a guy who dodged the draft with four deferments, including one for bone spurs in his foot and who compared avoiding STDs to his "own personal Vietnam" is exactly what this country needs right now.
In fact, he was classified 1-A in 1968, but re-classified as 4-F in 1972 after his dad bribed some New York draft board officials.
Plus, military parades are always super-gay and gay stuff cheers everybody up.
No, I stayed at some really nice place called the Inn on Ferry, near the Wayne State Art Center. It was kind of expensive, but someone else was paying, so I splurged. They had really good room service. We went to gallery openings and a couple of music shows while we were there.
If I get invited back, I'd go in a second and wouldn't hesitate to stay in an AirBNB.
Well there goes the big vacation I had planned for beautiful downtown Detroit..
You might be surprised to learn that lots of Detroit has been coming back strong since like 2010. Neighborhoods that were all but abandoned are showing signs of growth and there are lots of areas that are experiencing a full-scale renaissance.
Back in 2017, I visited there for 10 days to give some lectures and participate in a symposium and I got to see areas of the city where I never would have gone ten years ago. I was surprised at how nice it was and how optimistic many of the people who live there have become. There is a vibrant arts community and people really have a community feeling. Detroit will be back.
Because I love you all, here's a little something for you to groove to while you're pondering the Detroit Renaissance:
The price of Bitcoin is less than 1/2 of what it was at the beginning of the year. And falling. At this rate, it will soon be cheap enough for you to use, once again, to pay for heroin, weapons, human slaves and contract murders. In the meantime, I'm pretty sure you'll be OK using personal checks..
If you came up back in the days when you could get a PhD without $150,000 worth of debt, academia was the way to go. The heaviest teaching load I ever had was four classes, I got great benefits, a TIAA pension, I was surrounded by bright people and a lot of my students went on to do very well for themselves.
If any of you out there are in school, and close to matriculating your masters or PhD, do NOT quit school for a job offer, no matter how lucrative. Get the PhD. People call you "doctor" and life is pretty goddamn rosy, especially if you can get an appointment to a nice school in a nice place. My friends who went into private industry are still working and I go surfing. They have big debt (because no matter how much you make, the system is rigged to get you into a lot of debt) and my only debt is paying off our credit cards every month. And best of all, I can actually look at my many students, some of whom have gone on to great things, and see that I have made a difference.
If three fingers of bourbon and a quarter ounce of weed can't take me there, I ain't going.

How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?
Long as the wallet is fat.
It's likely to create lagoons on land that had previously been coastal.
No, it was not.

Uh, dummy, here's what Net Neutrality means to people who "play video games".

We don't have to "think" about the definition of net neutrality. We have had a perfectly good one for over a decade:

So maybe you should tell us what you think it is.

Just a thought.

I'm only half-joking.
You mean Pence?
If Donald Trump had a Twitch account, which game would he be live-streaming? On which platform? And would he show cleavage?

Military cosplay is good, and all the best countries do it.

And lucrative. Don't forget lucrative.
I don't know. There's a lot of parts of Michigan that are dragging the state down.
Can't afford it. We've got a massive parade to put on.
You sound triggerd. Are you triggered? Send me a DM and we can talk it out. You're not alone, snowflake. It gets better, and I'm here to help.
Yeah, but you bought it around Christmas.

Decide what kind of life you want.
1) That's the Nunes Memo you've linked to. 2) It doesn't say Trump was wiretapped.
If three fingers of bourbon and a quarter ounce of weed can't take me there, I ain't going.

That letter from the President's lawyer is not evidence that "Trump was wiretapped".
