That’s hilarious! Imagine being this weak and pathetic.

Not racist. You can learn whatever language you want. In fact you don’t even need to learn Japanese. You can just use a translator app. This only is discrimination against those too lazy to do either.

My Mom once said to me, “Be good, but if you can’t be good, be careful.”

The principal of my small-town high school heard kids talking about pump jack parties. He thought we were going out to a pump jack to get drunk and ride the pump jacks. Apparently, in his day, that’s what kids did. He brought in a guest speaker from a local oilfield company to talk to the senior students about the dangers of doing that.

We were dumbfounded by the talk because none of us had ever thought to ride a pump jack. What we called a pump jack party was just when a specific couple parked their car in the country to have sex.

Older people in the community have since confirmed that riding pump jacks was indeed a thing.

Boycott - To abstain, either as an individual or a group, from using, buying, or dealing with someone or some organization as an expression of protest.

For me those last words, “as an expression of protest” are important. For me there’s no protest and thus no boycott. The upset caused me to try Canadian products. I like them better.

California senators don’t get to tell me what to buy. Framing it as a “boycott” is just wrong, at least where I live. We have American booze on the shelves. I just don’t want to buy American garbage anymore so I’m not doing it.

For me it’s the idea that by interacting with social media I’m working to generate profit for a billionaire-led company.

I’m waiting for a used EV. I’ve never bought a new vehicle and have no desire to.

Yeah. What am I supposed to do with these burls?

What if there’s a … um … protuberance on the bottom where the branch meets the trunk? What’s the correct measuring procedure in that case?

Look at all those fake app ratings and reviews on the Google Play Store. I wonder how much that cost.

A “sense of urgency to install app,” eh? What kind of app do you develop that relies on a sense of urgency otherwise people won’t install it?

Edit: Oh, wait. You’re trying to poison the conversation about FOSS and I fell for it. LOL

WTF is going on? I’ve never seen an ad in my Nova Launcher. I’ll switch immediately if I ever see one. Did they add them to widgets? Does this only apply to the free version?
