I hope you do. And I would like to see the form letter that you receive in response.

A perpetual subscription is obviously a more stable source of income for corporations than a one-time purchase of a software package.

Adobe figured that out more than a decade ago. I'm surprised that it has taken the legacy media companies this long to hop on that particular bandwagon.

Does it help if you think about the fact that some of it is definitely roadkill?

Look at the state of fascist movements across literally the entire world right now.

Are we "counter[ing] them by rational argument and keep[ing] them in check by public opinion"? I think not.

Pop Up Video was the best.

Yes! That would be a sight to behold.

For anyone who doesn't understand what "la chancla" means: https://youtube.com/shorts/kZHfSX1CK-c?is=XV0B0vW7WSQc0dZS

I was sort of in the same headspace as you. I graduated high school at 17, and some of my friends married their high school sweethearts that June. I dated a senior as a freshman, so if we had gotten serious, I could have been ready to get married at 17.

But all of the points you bring up are valid reasons to make a younger graduate wait a few extra months to get married.

Not to mention that getting married right out of high school hasn't been a widely successful life choice for a few generations now. It mostly worked up until my parents' generation, but that was probably more to do with cultural expectations and legal barriers to divorce. None of my late GenX friends who did it stayed with their spouses for more than a few years.

That was a major annual fundraising event at my extremely rural high school.

The thing that annoys me more is that the article and the headline have been updated now to say that the talks were called off because of Israeli strikes on Hezbollah.

I was curious not so much about what Trump said, but whether it actually affected negotiations.

I grew tired of MacFarlane's humor pretty soon after American Dad hit the scene, but The Orville is damned good television.

I'd say the series feels 85% like Star Trek: The Next Generation (with a more prominent sense of humor) and 5% like what I would normally associate with Seth MacFarlane.

Okay, I can see that. I was parsing the sentence differently.

The "unprofessional conduct" that he's alerting us to is his own behavior, right?

I read that and thought, "Whatever is coming is probably a huge breach of business etiquette." And I was right.

Edited to add: If the candidate's behavior in the interview was so egregious, why would you even waste your time with follow-up calls? It sounds like they wanted to hire the guy, but he wasn't interested in working for them after the interview. Sour grapes, anyone?

I don't understand how it's legal for a court to order religion-based therapy that costs $1500 per month. That's absolutely insane from every possible angle.

I recently saw a shirt for sale online that says, "I'm sorry for everything I said when I was evangelical," and that really just about sums it up.

The bajillion stories in the comments about horrible experiences with math just reinforce the fact that I've made the right career choice.

I became an elementary teacher as a second career specifically because so many elementary teachers are absolutely terrible at teaching math. (Mostly because they don't actually understand the math that they're teaching. In my university cohort, almost 50% of my classmates failed the math entrance exam the first time. There was nothing more complex than 5th grade math on that test.)

Students should be allowed to use the strategies that work for them, and they should definitely never be punished for knowing math from higher grade levels.

If a student in my class knows something more advanced, I will challenge them to use grade-level-appropriate strategies to prove that their answers are correct. And if they demonstrate that they can do both, I'll give them more advanced work to help them grow.

Making sure that women have very little self-respect is one of the primary functions of American Evangelicalism.

Where does Laura Loomer have financial ties? For whom is she "sowing discord"?

Every accusation from these people is an admission. They assume that their perceived enemies are performing the mirror image of their own maneuvers.

He's not.

He's also not vegan, but that's another accusation his opposition is using. Because I guess there's nothing Texans hate more than (checks notes) ... tofu?

No, it's government-subsidized privatized healthcare.

Socialized healthcare wouldn't have a profit-driven middleman involved.

It's been decades now. Their in-depth reporting during the Bush II administration was leagues better than most mainstream news outlets.
