Son, the beginning was so long ago that many people have no experience of before.

Who cares?

Well the title says snoop fans care... Can you read? I think it's less the celebrity performance and more the hypocrisy that they care about though.

Yes... that's why they use the word "could". This is how research works and what reasonable science reporting looks like. There were no promises or wild claims made in the article.

As a product going after the MacBook Air, that's fair as long as the regular ThinkPads keep the trackpoint, even if it's a little vestigial. However I'd think of it as a regular Lenovo with ThinkPad specs. I just helped someone buy a 5 year old E15 that's got a bent corner and more than a few scratches in its black paint and I love how it looks and feels all the more for it! The screen could definitely be better, but as a beater word processor, it performs well and is satisfying to use. And that's the romance of a ThinkPad that they'd be foolish to let go of entirely.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant. If everybody "owns" it, then nobody fully "owns" it.

Well clearly Elon has demonstrated that ownership does not resist one's own censorship either... Almost like we need something that nobody fully owns...

It's hyperbole for effect.

It's like "fuck", it means several different things depending on context.

For example, there's also the meaning of lamenting that people seem too cavalier, ignorant, or dismissive of something you feel is important.

But you're right, the meaning in context is sometimes unclear and there are better ways to communicate your feelings.

As for responses, you could always go with a polite "What do you mean?"

Dayam, I legit forgot about that. Never used it, was locked into FB. Now FB is a ghost city of the occasional lost human and wraiths peddling "suggested for you's"

Just use your own brain and eyeballs.

When I was coming up learning about the long slow path of climate change, it was "We have to act now, because by the time you can readily see the effects with your eyes, we'll be fucked cause it'll be too late by then."

Whelp here we are. All we can do now is mitigate the damage however we can.

Zoomed in it appears to actually be reflection off the edge of the front mounting holes in their helmets.

In the 1980s, boomers were in their 30s/early 40s, so no they were not likely to be senior leadership in colleges at the time.
