The NFL plus subscription lets you access either the entire broadcast without commercials, an alternate version that's cut from snap to tackle (and is available pretty quick at least in the playoffs; I watched some late games in the morning before work), or the coaches film (that's slightly slower).

Overseas it's different, but last I was aware it was better and included live feeds in addition to everything else.

lol "full time student" isn't an employment gap.

It is an issue, primarily because it disproportionately affects women (because stay at home moms), but it's sincerely something you can't legislate. An employment gap is time where you aren't gaining experience someone else is.

You might be gaining different experience, and it's unfortunate that in a lot of cases you won't be able to get to an interview to talk about it, but being in the workforce, and fulfilling the requirements to keep your job (even if they are just show up and don't be such a toxic mess your employer is forced to fire you) are things that directly have a bearing on your ability to be a good employee for their company. If you could exclude stay at home parents, I'm pretty confident that you would see a measurable difference in quality of employee between people who have steadily kept a job and people who haven't, even if it's a higher percentage of bad apples and not a lower median performance.

Because it's not valid to vote to take away basic human rights, like the freedom to use simple, necessary modern tools.

The fact that the law is on the books is a restriction completely independent of any enforcement.

It cannot possibly be acceptable.

It doesn't matter if every single person in the town voted to put a rule on the books taking away a basic freedom.

Opposing aggressively authoritarian violations of basic human autonomy is not supporting dictatorship. There are some things a government unconditionally should not have the capacity to restrict. Being a modern human using basic modern tools is one of them.

It does look pretty boomer shooter in the videos, and looks like it takes the brutality finisher (I forget what they call them) that the modern doom games have. There are obviously other FPS games and other games with that example mechanic, but I'd be surprised if DOOM isn't a very strong influence from the trailer.

I'm not. I'm dead serious.

Having the law on the books, without enforcement, should get their charter revoked. It is not acceptable.

This is absurd. People run into each other occasionally, with or without cell phones.

This isn't a minor violation. It's completely, unforgivably, obscene. There's no possible scenario where it could possibly be justified or forgiven, and no possible scenario where a government could possibly be excused in having that authority.

Noise actually materially affects other people.

Having a smart phone doesn't. Even allowing a rule like this to get to a vote should get their government disbanded and forced to re-form from scratch or fall under another municipality's jurisdiction.

No smartphones in the street, or parks or shops, whatever, it’s their town.

Screw that. A town shouldn't have the authority to take away basic freedoms like that, even if literally every citizen directly votes in favor of doing so.

It could just be that windows is obnoxious and likes to do its best to break shit, and they don't want to deal with helping people figure out how to repair it in limited dev time.

If you're not clearly better enough at the category to beat the meme, it's because you don't deserve the recognition you're complaining about.

Meme votes are a product of not having anything worth actually voting for.
