Somehow, symphony orchestras have managed to survive 50 years of the rock and roll era. I seriously doubt video games are going to suddenly "save" them.
Is it possible that attendance at the symphony is down because nobody's got any goddamn money?
So is your thinking that when facing the persistent long term threat of violent extremists Islamists (which are pretty much exclusively Muslim) dedicated to the overthrow of Western civilization that the proper course of action is to search for violent Buddhists, Lutherans, and atheists? Because, Diversity!??
In the past decade, right-wing extremists have killed more Americans than muslim terrorists. Do you believe we face a "persistent long term threat" from Christian fundamentalists, gun nuts and "oath-keepers"? There's your "diversity", Johnny.

Before I read the summary, can someone tell me if this is a story about Australian death adders? Those goddamn things scare the crap out of me, so if it's about them I'm outta here.
But don't you realize that leaving a port open on her home server makes her history's greatest monster? Clearly, you're not paying attention to the GOP debates.
It sounds like a lot of this is due to Millennial SJWs and the fact that there's a war on masculinity.
I can't believe it took this long for some cuck to blame "SJWs" for this story.
MRAs, you are slipping. A story like this should have been an "all hands on deck" moment for you, and the best you can come up with is one pitiful anonymous coward who thinks this is "anti-masculinity".
I don't think anyone has bought Playboy for the nudes in a long time. For over a decade, anyone literate bought Playboy for the articles. In the '70s, it was nice to check out Miss November, but by the time I was in college, and I found the stories by Nabokov, Marquez, DeLillo, David Foster Wallace, and articles by the top essayists, journalists and fiction-writers in the world (and coincidentally found out about web porn), the nudes in Playboy had ceased to be much of a draw.
How much longer before you get your iPhone embedded in your head?
Funny that you mention that. Last night at the theater, there was a guy who kept getting texts on his iPhone during the movie. I was thinking of how much longer before I embedded his iPhone in his head. His girlfriend finally took his phone away and turned it off. I thanked her on the way out.
He did a LOT of things that a lot of people didn't like, almost all of which were for the longterm good of the country...
Like raise 90% of the population's taxes?
Like sign an amnesty bill for illegal immigrants?
Like give arms to Iran?
Like send death squads to Central and South America?
Like crap his diaper in the oval office?
Yeah, I'd say that Reagan did a lot of things that a lot of people didn't like. I would have to respectfully disagree about the "good of the country" part, though.
Bernie has a snowballs chance in Death Valley a in mid summer heat wave... Shame though, as a republican it sure would be fun to watch him as the democratic contender...
I don't know if you remember about this time in 2007, but Republicans said the exact same thing about Obama. How "Americans would never vote for a guy with the middle name "Hussein"" and "America wasn't ready for a black president". The entire campaign season, through April of 2008, was "Hillary is the presumptive nominee". Remember how Fox News had the "Stop Hillary Express"? Just don't be surprised if a filthy pro-gun socialist hippie is gonna drink up your milkshake.
Be careful what you wish for, Republicans. You might want to look at the turd logs in your own eye before howling about the speck in someone else's.
People who find this interesting are maybe too young to remember what it was like during the oil embargo last century when gas stations would run out of product. There were long lines at the gas pumps, fights and shootings. Local governments had to enact "odd/even" day refueling to prevent riots at the gas stations.
And this story? Here's an example of how insufficient charging stations has made people "meaner":
"Employees are calling and messaging each other, saying, 'I see you're fully charged, can you please move your car?'"
This is apparently what millennials think is "mean". I mean, for chrissake the guy said "please". In my day, if you wanted to be mean to another driver, you broke his headlights, cracked his windshield and pissed in his gas tank. Now THAT was mean.
Why would someone *want* to knowingly enable this?
Cortana is spy-ware, and it takes considerable effort to *disable* it???
What am I missing???
What better way to get otherwise tech-savvy people to run spyware on their systems than by making them feel that by using this "leaked" method to enable Cortana on their systems they are cool doing something that's not exactly sanctioned by MS?
"Hey look, I've enabled Cortana on my XBone Experience Live system without Microsoft's persmission!"

That's cool. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is sold out most nights. The Civic Opera is also sold out most nights.

If you lived in Florida, you'd do everything drunk.
Wait a minute. Apple calls them "smart corners?

I threw my computers into the wood chipper, and the world did not end. So that's kind of a low bar, you know?

You're really trying to mess with my sleep, aren't you? If I get alcohol poisoning tonight, I'm blaming you.

To be fair, Rick Perry thinks a "personal server" is the colored lady he hired to do housework.
But don't you realize that leaving a port open on her home server makes her history's greatest monster? Clearly, you're not paying attention to the GOP debates.

It's a millennial thing. They think that everything they do is groundbreaking and state-of-the-art.
Funny that you mention that. Last night at the theater, there was a guy who kept getting texts on his iPhone during the movie. I was thinking of how much longer before I embedded his iPhone in his head. His girlfriend finally took his phone away and turned it off. I thanked her on the way out.
My wife disagrees.
So, you don't know, but you can "assure me..."?
Friend, your battle flag is showing.
So did Mitt Romney and John McCain.

The CTA is not "subsidized by the rest of the state". The rest of the state is subsidized by Chicago.
No, the quote was, "Will you please move your car." Not quite the same thing as "will you please hand over your wallet."

The best plan is to practice yoga, so if civilization collapses you can bend over and kiss your ass goodbye.
It's also more economical than building one of these shelters. And much more practical.
