You also have the choice of deleting the photos now.
When I was accidentally forwarded financial info for a non-profit organization I'm a member of, I had the opportunity to see what a lot of people were donating. I trashed the email, emptied the trash, and then told the sender what happened and that I had done so.
Honestly, fuck you, MAGA.
I have a catchall domain going to a gmail address, which then then forwards to my workspace account.
Melania has incredible oral skills, methinks.
You sound like a great guy.
Yeah, I say I believe it was made in China because there's a sticker on it saying it was assembled in China.
The Chinese have invested in manufacturing and infrastructure for the past 30 years, and the United States has been hollowed out by the owner class with the blessing of the Boomers and Silent Generation.
My parents subscribe to The New Yorker and have since I was a kid. Except for the cartoons, I have always found it painful to read and did not remember any news coverage of note. On your suggestion, I have just checked it out. First, an article on Gaza that opens with a list of body counts. Sorry, that's not reporting. That's lazy, biased journalism at best and just bad writing. OK, giving up. Let's move on. An article on what's next for Venezuela? Opens with many, many words recounting what has already happened. Am I supposed to skip forward in every article until I can find their point or something new? Do The New Yorker readers enjoy this kind of thing? I don't have the patience for this style of writing. A guy's photos of his dad? Pass. Taylor Swift's diamond ring? Pass. Trump sucks? Pass. Undocumented Immigrants trying to stay in the US? Pass. A bunch of articles on online dating? Hard pass. Reimagined Mexican folk music?
Oh! An article on reading instruction! Nice. Oh shit! It's over 6000 words, most of which talk about people instead of reading instruction. Do people like this style of writing? The New Yorker is 100. It says so on the banner. They must. I don't. I don't read non-fiction for the meandering. I read non-fiction to learn information. If you're writing an article on methods of reading instruction, something I have expertise in, then GET TO THE FUCKING POINT.
The New Yorker and The Atlantic are not in the same universe.
I believe our Volvo was made in China, but yeah. Good car.
When they burn down, they wake you up.
Just kidding. These will all be self-driving eventually, probably using another company's system.
I read it as an adult and didn't like it at all. I saw the unraveling and just didn't enjoy it. I dont enjoy books about suffering.
Yeah, I'm not a fan at all of Catcher in the Rye. I don't really see its appeal.
Haven't read Poisonwood yet.
The good thing is, being exposed means you might find something you love.
I love DCC, but I found Bobiverse uninteresting.
The Atlantic publishes website articles daily. The New Yorker is more about the arts. Does anybody buy physical magazines anymore?
How many QA engineers does it take to screw in a lightbulb? 3: 1 to screw it in and 2 to say "I told you so" when it doesn't work.
