The closer I got to Christ, the less republican I became. I had to actually stop going to church because my views changed so drastically, the other church members were attacking me. It's certainly crazy to discover that mainstream Christianity today is anything but.

This isn't "something". This is a "we're sorry (not really)" video. If you watch it in the context of "I have no favorites in this game" and look it it pretty objectively, it feels like just a bait to try to stop the bleeding.

A week? To refine all the processes in that size of a company? No. I've gone through these processes before and it takes months to evaluate, talk to employees, get processes down properly, especially when you need to really start over from the standpoint of "this isn't working". They even mentioned they are still having scheduled videos coming out... Did they check those for errors first? I doubt it.

A week to get their inventory control back on track? With the size of their warehouse? No way.

The fact that they let Linus get on there and make the tone deaf statement he did, still backtracking on the billet labs fiasco. He acted like a petulant child who doesn't have remorse.

They are going to post their updates to their processes on floatplane? What. The. Fuck. So no communication through YouTube. You have to pay in order to see how they will do better.

And. They monetized the apology video. They knew they would get the most views ever out of that one. And they monetized it.

I've watched quite a bit of their content and had trusted it in the past.. but I have the same feeling about them now that I had when I found out about Jared from adventures with purpose and his whole "I'm just here to make as much cash as I can" attitude, aside from the fact that he's a child rapist. It just feels scummy to me.

I was boner. It was back in the day of BBS' and my handle was lone wolf. So they started calling me loner... Then one day Bill decided "we should just call you boner". I said " oh please don't". I shouldn't have said that.

In the end it wasn't all that bad. I wasn't particularly good looking but when girls heard that, they would ask why they call me that I would just say "it's a long and very stupid story" it made them even more interested in me. LOL

I'm usually ok with some data collection to get stats, like memory CPU usage, etc, especially if they are using it to figure out how to make their software more efficient... But this? Hard pass on this. Especially with collection of other devices on the lan. Wtf Intel?

Are we at an airport?

Freeloader. Enjoy your free stuff off the backs of people doing all the work and paying all the bills.

I hate the make everything a smart appliance trend... Grills, washers and dryers, dishwashers, coffee machines... WHY? No one needs this shit.

I'd rather it be that then what we used to deal with.. 6 month old apps that never got any more updates because the dev has no incentive to keep developing it.

Where are the ads, anyway? I don't think Ive seen a single ad yet.

I'm glad it's this way. My accounts have different purposes, so I have different settings I like by default.

Strangeland with Dee Snider. Super creepy and scarred me for a while.

I'm using connect and am enjoying it. It works really well. I would like an option to always open links in the system browser instead of the built in one.
