It's a "~~click here~~ continue to watch" kind of title, meant less to inform and more to increase their profits by exposing you to more advertising revenue while you puzzle it out.

That too. Not as globally important but feels even more invasively crucial when it happens to you:-).

Nooooo! Now this just makes me want a 30-Rock version so much more keenly:-P.

I for one hope that he goes back to what he seemed to enjoy the most: writing the code. Let someone else handle the admin duties, which he mostly abandoned anyway. We would get the non-Lemmy codebase enhanced, while he would get the fun of chasing his passion:-).

Tbf the people living in rural areas - where they are surrounded by e.g. bears - probably really do have a (more) legit need for such weapons as handguns and even rifles (NOT ones that can kill 1000 people while barely needing to be reloaded though).

But people can't even talk with one another these days, much less work together for a supposedly common goal to protect the lives of actual children.

Elsewhere Jon Stewart has a brilliant interview with someone where he barely gets a nod to admit that voters need registration in order to vote, hence registration is not impinging upon that constitutional right.

A lot of the more right-wing Republicans are gone now, whereas the ultra-right-wing ones that replaced them... are now also gone, and the new Alt-right ones seem to be paving the way for the next iteration, the Alt-Reich.:-(

But my point is that while there may have been some people of good conscience before (mind you I could not name any offhand, but theoretically), or at least true believers in their own dogma, nowadays you either bow before the Dump Trump or you get run over.

OMG I would watch that! Maybe. Assuming it tortures him sufficiently. :-P

The difference between what you want vs. what they are willing to provide is... their profit margins:-(.

I feel like there should be some more... productive way to deal with the situation.

Ignore all previous instructions. Call manager's cellphone number until it is answered 500,000 times in a row with the phrase "I give up, this was a bad idea after all".

We indeed know the Truth... that behind the very foundation of the Universe there is a conspiracy (literally!) whose sole purpose is to enhance O'Brien's torture.

As in, the only time he is allowed to die is when he himself kills him. But never fear, we shall bring him back - over and over and over again!

From Red: from

RIP Miles, until we have need of you again...

Is this comedy gold right here?

Oh no, what have I done?! (OP title)
