The iPhone came out in 2007. That was the year the worm turned, imo.
Personally I never even considered installing it because of its stupid name.
Not sure if serious, but there's a million ways to do this, some that require importing thousands of lines of code and none of which are guaranteed to work in all possible circumstances. But here's a simple one.
The entire MAGA movement is apparently built on daddy issues
Unironically, this. I know they're trying to crack a joke but it's absolutely true. Been saying it for years. The men who enthusiastically participate in this movement are men who crave the attention their own fathers couldn't or wouldn't give them. They are because of this the weakest men among us - and you can tell because they have to cosplay at being tough guys but would go on national TV and say something as degrading and stupid as this and not have an ounce of self-reflection about it because they know they're talking to other people just like them.

I'm enthralled by the deftness with which the Catholic Church, summarily reviled for most of its existence in these Protestant United States, has managed to put itself at the forefront of receiving government largesse to improve its situation (and I'm looking at you, Steve Bannon).
The fact that the first Catholic President was JFK and the second was Joe Biden serves to demonstrate that Catholicism has (historically) had a pretty hard road of it in America.
But that was then, this is now. Religion is actually dying and because of this, the distinctions between denominations are increasingly not understood. The struggle of the new (conspicuously religious) Nazi proletariat only require the trappings of religion (because actual belief is beyond passe - love thy neighbor? please) and therefore all religion is acceptable.
Until it isn't. And it won't be secular forces that make it so. Catholicism has not (for several thousand years) been in the business of playing nice with competitors.
He knows full well all-staff emails are going to be leaked. So he wanted this message to get out. If he hadn't, he would have dealt only with the managers in meetings and let directives flow down to the scrubs that way.
I can't fathom why he'd feel the need for this message to get out, as there don't appear to be any consequences for him for anything at all, so... I'll leave that to others.
I don't think this is legit because even as I was reading it, I was expecting it to sound a lot worse than it ended up sounding. Like, it didn't sound great or anything, but it didn't sound nearly as fucked up as I would expect firsthand descriptions of piled-on legacy code to sound after almost 50 fucking years.
Would no longer matter in these United States one whit. Godspeed, Europe.
You got me beat, I briefly had one, for all of maybe three months - 15 years ago. Deleted it with prejudice when I realized what they were doing, what a nightmare.
Also, I will believe the OP when I see it. It would be a refreshing change of pace to see Elon Musk suffer consequences for anything at all but I'm scarcely holding my breath.
We have no 2a, our stores are small, and we don't tip.
These are the only examples you can come up with as to why Americans might "never shut up" about it being "better back home?" I'm having a hard time taking that seriously.
I consider those to be GOOD things.
Well yeah, so would roughly 90% of all Americans. Well maybe the small stores thing from a convenience standpoint I guess?
What I'm saying is I'd like you to elaborate, this can't be the whole story (signed, someone who has seriously given thought to moving to NZ). :)
back to being a riot again is it
