They really can't help but make it easy to compare them to animals.

Maybe the Piney Grove Baptist Church should have maintained ownership of their cemetery if they wanted it maintained. They are the ones that chose to disrespect the dead they were entrusted with so they could gain more of things that which are Caesar's.

I feel like 10 and 11 was given away to retail users just so they can gather and sell your data, when 7 didn't have that functionality in it.

They are so much worse too, like why do they have this "Settings" page then half the shit you have to go to Control Panel anyway. Either replace it or leave it alone. I don't need two places to screw with settings.

You didn't miss much with 8. I had it on a laptop for a bit. It was Windows 7 with touchscreen icons.

They had an opportunity not all that long ago to really take over the gaming market by just being the one who just wants to make games. They went the other way it seems.

I just went through my game pass sub to see what I might want to keep so I can just let it go. Most of it was on GOG, so on to the GOG watchlist. I was a bit surprised because at one time I played a lot off of game pass. They can have their sub back. The stuff I bought over the years, well if they ban my account then I'll just acquire an ocean-going vessel for anything they steal from me.

I'm going to guess Sony Japan got their hands on the gaming division a bit. It seems so far they've quietly been walking back from the full-on DEI push in ways, at least since Spider-Man 2 flopped.

These companies all killed me off, I was all-in on consoles for probably 15 years, now an upgraded Switch is about the only thing that might get my attention. PC support for TV play with controllers hurt my interest in consoles, and DEI games put in the killing blow.

I've had their game pass for years, as I'd built up maxed out Xbox Gold credit ages ago and spent a dollar to upgrade it. It finally goes away in June of this year. I can get it indefinitely for half price via some discounts I have access to.

I was leaning towards keeping, but I think at this point it's going to become how much do I have to buy that I was "leasing" to just rid of it forever. I don't think they release another new game I want at this point.

Their entire industry was created by white male gamers. If white male gamers never existed, neither would video games.

I was/am a Walmart hater for decades but they've become the least of so many evils and are the most content to just sell me shit without extra politics. They were also the only grocery place that dropped their mask inspectors the second the governor did. Others kept on with that stuff for months.

Funny the first thing I read about that said something about "threatening democracy" so I knew it must have been effective. It sounds like the average Salvadorian loves the policy too. Left wing "democracy" is just another way to describe mob rule by small minority groups, whether it be blacks and trannies or drug gangs.

For how many years were cars easy to steal? Did we blame the auto manufacturers then? Something being easy to steal is still theft. I put theft right there below crimes against one's person. If I were to decide, habitual or severe theft qualifies for capital punishment.

I'd have told the whole class action against Kia/Hyundai they can go stick it up their ass, because it's my understanding these cars were never required to or claimed to have any sort of immobilizer technology. There's plenty of cases I'm for more regulation. This isn't one of them.

Average black people don't even know these games exist. Black gamer nerds wants a fun game and don't care about any of this. Ghetto niggas play GTA and NBA exclusively. The frizzy haired black woman they cater to only exists at these places like Sweet Baby, and they don't play games just ruin them.

There are places for people like you to live, go live there. Or perhaps a farm, you already have the nose ring in place. I'm not sure any farmer will give you barn space or feed, because you provide no value.

So they did what, compared his DNA to modern standards of fine music shit like Nicki Minaj and Cardi B and just assumed since it was different he couldn't possibly have been musical.

If a genetic study suggests that Beethoven did not have natural musical talent, then well that study is wrong.

Funny I'd just mentioned Beethoven in another thread before I saw this.

Black choirs, or perhaps just black people, all have to dance and move around. I'd seen a few such choirs as a kid growing up in the American South, and I don't think discipline is ever something they would have been known for.

Russians do seem to culturally appreciate "high-quality" arts, whatever you'd call that--meaning orchestra, ballet, opera, and the like. There's almost no respect for that in American culture. You ask someone about Beethoven, you're more likely to get told about the Disney movie.

It's something that I'd never thought twice about in the 90s and might even enjoyed the performance if they were actually good. Now that everything is about race I know that's why it's being shoved in my face. Let me guess they performed the "black national anthem" too.

I probably would sell it just to not have to mess with. Maybe if I had more shares I'd think of it differently. If I wanted to keep the new company just get the $14 and go buy one share of Alamos.

It's not like it was easy to get a job with worthless degrees 10, 20, 30, years ago or whatever. You know what you do, find somewhere you want to work and go do the shitty work and prove you're better. You could do this without the worthless degrees though. Hell, I know an 18 year old kid doing pretty damn well and it started with showing up and doing a good job.

My grandfather always told me to be sure and learn something that's actually employable. That advice has paid off well.

Why are none of these charter schools ever vetted? They weren't really a thing when I was a kid. Whoever set up the process just let whoever the hell they want run a publicly funded school, including apparently the Chinese government.

Oh and to add, something I didn't think of but I've had happen. You may just be paid cash at the deal close for the 0.666 shares of Alamos, which at the moment would be about 9.69 cents, but depends on the value of Alamos at the time. I believe that's due to a broker policy, since you will have < 1 share of the Alamos stock.

If you hold on to the stock until the deal closes, you get 0.185 shares of the acquiring company Alamo for every one of your shares, so 36x0.185=0.666 shares of the new stock. In addition they are spinning off the mines owned in the US and Mexico to a new company, and you get 1 share per of that new company so, 36 shares.

Total value is supposed to be around 40 cents, so, as a result of this deal you should be about 12 cents per share better off. Meaning your 10 bucks should be worth about 14 now.

Isn't the Unitarian church the church of whatever you want? Meaning they don't really even claim to worship God?

I'll leave this quote from 2nd Timothy here too, because, very little is a surprise to the Bible

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

I'd guess since it's a toll bridge there's built-in access control at the toll booths. They say the boat made a mayday call. It's not too far fetched that there would be a procedure to halt bridge traffic at the toll booths upon any mayday call nearby, and it wouldn't take really more than a moment to just freeze the toll gates. It would account for there being a handful of cars still on it, those that had cleared the tolls but not completed the crossing in that time.

To your other point though, I still think there's probably a lot of negligence on the part of the boat captain and operators. I've flown planes, and both planning and emergency procedure is drilled in to you as part of training. Yet when you review crash outcomes, the ones that go bad don't identify it's a bad problem until it's too late. I suspect there had been control issues prior and they trudged on rather than aborting, dropping anchor to figure it out, calling for tugboats to assist, etc.

I'm also curious how a giant ship is ever in a position such that a loss of power will cause it to crash in a bridge within the next 30 seconds. 30 seconds! The procedure for leaving a harbor should never involve putting such a slow to maneuver craft in a position where 30 seconds is the difference between a collapsed bridge and a successful trip.

A man publicly calls out Jewish leadership for twisting God's law to their own benefit and for using even their holy places as a method to extract more profits. Jews then use their influence in government to have the man executed despite having not been guilty of a crime. Doesn't sound all that far fetched today, yet it's also the story of Jesus.
