This song is great.

Yes, layaway was typically used for bigger purchases. It wasn’t Klarna for a slice of pizza. And in the case of Costco, it seems that it is primarily targeted for big purchases.

Some of their technology is vastly ahead of ours, other technologies are way behind. The behind stuff is far more interesting. Comms in Star Wars is weird and anachronistic with other tech in the show. Getting clear signals for comms seems nearly impossible.

I also get a giggle out of tech used in the show only to drive plot: like how protagonists can scan ships for life forms but protagonists also only power down ships to evade the eye of a passing baddy ship.

I was gonna say I had to park my motorcycle at intersections and hit the crosswalk button before.

Stores had layaway back in them days, it was OK. It wasn’t super predatory as I recall. Capitalism will forever get greedier.

I favor designed spaces for pedestrians over more cops/enforcement any day.

ACAB and passive enforcement over active enforcement. It saves money and lives.

Still seems incredibly jingoistic.

I mean, fuck em. Centering on that will only continue to treat them as elites and never change the perspective.

Some entitled landlord is the last person that should be centered.

Not who we should be centering in this. That person will be fine.

Lying liar lies again.

Strange message,

Let’s just say we’re experimenting with silence,” a spokesperson for Duolingo told Fast Company over email. “Sometimes, the best way to make noise is to disappear first."

Have to teach kids to beg for the bare essentials early in life. That way they’ll never know it could be different.

Google really killing it with announcements that no one gives a flying fuck about.

No one fucking cares.

The Constitution is meaningless anymore. Brownshirts, billionaires, and thugs run the show.

Fair enough, but it still stinks of alterior motive.

Duolingo is run by fucking idiots.

I don’t know, but they seemingly do whatever the hell they want already. Tips up to 25k seems like a thing for rich people, not the plebes who already try and reduce the tax burden with cash tips.

The House will make likely make changes and it will go back to the Senate for another vote.
