Amazon suddenly and officially operating an "adult entertainment" site would change quite a lot for them. How many funds and asset managers would have to drop Amazon stock because their asset allocation states that they can't invest in the production of pornography.

Getting your novel picked up as the basis of a high profile film release certainly helps, in both direct cash and increase in visibility/sales for that book and its sequels.

They would not. Best case scenario is that you can trick Google into thinking your device/OS is legit. It's of no benefit to them to in any way compromise the security of their highly sensitive payments app.

The physical, not social kind. "We'll catch you when you fall... this is not a metaphor."

The US is in this specific conflict to make their cut of the warbucks and maintain diplomatic ties, not to provide critical aid and support. That and provide a disincentive for anyone else to step in or protest.

Regardless of anyone's opinion, it's not like it would be out of character for the US to decide that a middle eastern country needed a sudden influx of freedom because they didn't want to conform to the US's specific energy/economic policies.

I feel bad for the one he just keeps dunking on.

"The Village Board decided to disband the police department and after public pressure, reversed their decision, but the damage was already done."

Pretty brief and with no indication of why this action was taking place.

We're still not in a position for vehicles to be entrusted to someone who couldn't physically intercede to take over control of the car in an emergency.

Being a Product Manager at a financial back-office software company, with a lot of legacy systems, is not very fun at this stage. It is uninspiring and I much preferred my job before I was promoted a couple of years ago, which involved working directly with development teams and not strategic planning.

My projects are now long standing and tedious, and I'm not getting much recognition beyond my manager telling me how fantastic I am, whilst giving me unremarkable appraisal scores. He told me that I didn't get a chance to "shine" because I was doing so much work he put on my plate... thanks boss, useful commentary.

Do you think this person was speaking in support of those that think human life is only worth its level of productivity...?
