Ken Bone was from 2016 I believe

Is this also on WhatsApp? I got all the other Meta junk off my phone except that, since I need it for some family abroad

This is an interesting perspective, thank you. I definitely learned where Live Nation was getting most of their profits from when the water fountains were hidden on the other side from the food and drink vendors, and wanted $8 for a bottle of water (or $16 for a PBR!)

I do think that part of the Ticketmaster hate is them being the bad guy for the venues or artists with the prices etc, but they can definitely be doing more. My main issue is that venues can either exclusively use Ticketmaster or not at all, and all the hidden fees. Granted, if the artist chooses “all-lin” pricing it includes the fees, but it feels manipulative that I have to mentally add 30% to the price of tickets when I’m looking.

Most things are fine in moderation, demonizing everything you like is how you get miserable and crave them more

The town my parents live in would rather pay fines every year than build the state mandated amount of affordable housing and risk, gasp, lowering property values!

Exactly. I told her that 8gb might be fine for a year or two, but if she wants this thousand plus dollar laptop to last four years she needs to invest the extra money now. Especially once she told me she might want to play Minecraft or Shadow of the Tomb Raider on it

My sister just bought a MacBook Air for college, and I had to beg her to spend the extra money on 16gb of memory. It feels like a scam that it appears cheap with the starting at price, but nobody should actually go with those “starting at” specs.

Phone maybe, but not a SIM card with data. Although you can do a lot without a SIM card if your school has public WiFi I guess

I strongly believe that a large part of the reason China is so strict with underage phone and game restrictions is because the parents are at work for too long to do any real parenting. Ideally parents should be the ones making those choices and actually monitoring their kids, but since I don’t have kids I can’t really say for myself.

I made my AOL mail account in 2006 and still use it. I don’t use it as my primary email anymore, but I have hundreds of accounts tied to it

I can invite too if people need it, shoot me a DM

Golf peaks was great, if I ever get play pass again or want to buy a new game I’ll check the others out. Thanks!

I’ve switched to indie games or older releases in my backlog

Yes, but Nvidia finally open sourced their driver so hopefully that’ll change soon

I flew on Porter and their “ad” was just a 30 second thing about how they’re a cool airline. That’s fine, although the real cost is that they make you have a rewards account

My real question here is, do they really pay the employees enough for them to actually care?

I find with a lot of apps like that they’re glorified web browsers, which means that most of the time you can just use their mobile site. One less app collecting data, draining battery etc

I was told in school the only way to win was a Presidential decree.

So come on Biden, what are you waiting for?

It’s a shame to see Gender Queer on there. I read it for my university class on comic art and thought it was really interesting. I would probably say it’s more of an adult book, but I think just about all the books I read for high school English were adult books.

The author is really cool too. When the covid lockdown happened my professor emailed them asking if there were any digital options for the book, since a lot of students relied on the local library or might have left their copies in their dorms. They sent my professor a pirated link and gave permission for us to use it.

I can’t tell if she looks young for her age, or if she looks super young compared to everyone else on stage wirh her
