Oops, guess I'm next on the chopping block right after Tom!

To HR office,

Walking into the office this morning, I saw Tom in the parking lot, waved at Tom, and wished Tom a good morning. Tom then asked if I had seen Phil, wondering how "he"(!!!) was doing. I reminded Tom that of the newly-enacted no-pronouns policy and informed Tom that Tom should be careful in the future, or Tom could face consequences for not following policy!

As a good friend of Tom, I know Tom didn't mean to sound too liberal by it, but for Tom's own good I had to remind Tom of his mistake.

Sincerely, -Loyal NASA Employee

He's off to a bad start; announcements like that only serve to increase anti-Christian bias, mine included.

Thanks; if it happens again I'll be sure to let you know. 👍

At least they let him leave out the door rather than out the window. /s

At least in the case of the Hisense TV I got for my grandparents, a "glitch" with accessibility controls (makes directional inputs unresponsive or multi-press at times) just so happens to make remapping the sponsored remote buttons impossible, as well as breaking the most common method of changing the system launcher, so screen size alone isn't everything.

Although Hisense still tries to reinstall sponsored apps after I delete them, using Launcher Manager to set a custom launcher that allows for the hiding of unwanted applications and channels made it much more usable for my grandparents.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to redirect YouTube voice input commands to SmartTube Next, so if I ever replace it, that'll be a factor in my decision too.

As an American, I apologize to Ukrainians for our corrupt leaders withholding aid needed for the protection of your national sovereignty, and am thankful that the UK is still unwavering in its support for Ukraine.

Billionaires bought the election; enough propaganda, both via manipulated social media platforms and marketing in swing states, can buy anyone willing to be the stooge of private interests the presidency.

Most Americans don't deserve to suffer at the hands at such corruption.

That's the equivalent of them being thankful for Israeli "investment" in building settlements after killing or displacing Palestinians and stealing their land. How anyone, let alone Arab Americans, could see it any other way, is far beyond me.

Hopefully at least half of them stick around; the MAU count is much more impactful in terms of post frequency and variety than the total number of users in general.

The affordability of a Pokemon game being $120 after factoring in the cost of its two DLCs?

Also deceptive for them to list it on the Play Store as having 500,000,000 "downloads", when the vast majority of those are non-consensual automatic installations.
