They’re obviously going about it the wrong way, but this is inching towards the right way to go - keep age verification like biometric verification, encrypted and on-device. That’s a million times better than getting random pron sites to ask for your biometric data.
If they’d started with this thought and then kept thinking from there, they could have ended up with something decent and effective, rather than the current shitshow.
This was 10+ years ago now, too, so more then
The best half of a business conversation i ever heard was “look, the bottom line is this: give her £100,000 a year, give her a Porsche, give her her own office, give her a secretary, and she’ll bring in more than a million in profit every year.”
That would be why Trumps response was to slag him off then
I think partly it’s the same thing as slang - it identifies you as part of a group and, more specifically, not the same as those boring oldies. Only boring oldies finish texts with a full-stop !
There’s a reason he carted his son, Meatshield, around with him for a while

And if you’re in to chess, Kevin’s partner, Anna Rudolf used to have some of the best educational chess content online. Her and Daniel Naroditsky (RIP). She stepped back from producing much content for personal reasons and now mostly works behind the scenes on Kevin’s channel, but she’s getting back into commentating and is excellent at that.
No, people were supposed to like them. They were killed off in s really horrible way because the audience hated them.
Xander is the worst. Fucking awful with women. And he’s the self-admitted Whedon insert character.
My favourite thing about Neelix is that the producers went “oh, people love him! Let’s introduce Flotter!”
I don’t even know what kal el no is, but i do know that it’s often unfair to call out any actor for s line delivery, because it’s often the case that they’ll do the same scene 6-7 times with very different deliveries, each prompted by the director, and then the director will choose which clip to use in editing.
I remember Patty Jenkins when Wonder Woman was due to come out saying that the problem with being a female director is That if a man makes a big budget film and it flops then that’s because the film is bad. But if you make a big budget film and it flops then that’s because women can’t direct.
It’s kind of true. The last hill seems to be a modern invention, and Torpenhow Hill isn’t listed on any maps. There is a village there called Torpenhow, though, and that is Hillhillhill
Or, even better, let’s start developing for separate platforms again, and optimise software for the platform that’s going to be running it. Rather than just developing everything for Chrome.
What, exactly, do you find unbelievable about the best linguists of the last 400 years being unable to solve a 10-letter anagram? Anagrams are really hard.
Not even retail. I can’t count the number of professional emails I’ve had, including from managers with huge salaries with basic grammar and spelling mistakes.
That would be hilarious. Please let him accomplish that and nothing else.
In 1998 Marcellus Williams was convicted of murder. During the appeals processes it was found that he was not a match for any of the copious forensic evidence at the crime scene. He was convicted entirely on the testimony of two people with long records of lying to authorities and who stood to gain leniency in prosecutions for unrelated matters in exchange for their testimony. The prosecutor and the victims family spoke out against the push to execute him, in light of the exculpatory evidence.
It was ultimately determined that being innocent wasn’t a good enough reason not to execute, and he was killed in September of last year. 22 years in prison and then executed despite no evidence he committed the crime and strong evidence that he didn’t.
If being provably innocent isn’t enough to stop an execution, then what possibly could be?
I remember reading a report earlier this year which said that most people who used AI at work found that they didn’t have much use for it and it didn’t make them more productive. So that tracks.
Makes sense that tech CEOs are still pushing it as the miracle tech which will make humans obsolete, though.
Iirc, he’s already said that criticism of him is treason. So…
