She wrote Jolene on the same night that she wrote I Will Always Love You.

I saw in an interview that Dolly first heard Whitney’s version while in the car and had to pull over because she thought it was beautiful and got a little misty-eyed.

I don’t know why you’re being down voted. That’s where the term comes from.

You mostly see it in the US where minorities speak more “white” in order to get/hold jobs and be treated with respect. Body language will change as well. It’s so much more than having a professional face at work and relaxed at home.

They seem to be getting ready to use the pink triangle for its first purpose again.

Might be a different symbol this time, given that the pink triangle became the first pride symbol.

I have it set to automatically change to headphones when they’re plugged in and for all audio to go through headphones when they’re plugged in, however the startup music and log in screen music still play through the TV. After logging into a profile, it’ll switch over to headphones for all audio.

I’ve even left my headphones plugged into the controller after manually choosing headphones for all audio and then turning the PS5 off and on again and it pushes startup and login screen music through the TV.

I never had any long load times on my PS4, usually only about 5-10 seconds. However, I think the 5-10 minute load times for PS2, even when just changing areas in a game made me a lot more patient for Playstation games.

I remember avoiding the save feature on Star Wars Battlefront due to the long time it took to save and hours spent on the PS2 Harry Potter games. Walking through a door would trigger a 5-10 minute wait period and you couldn’t necessarily use that as a bathroom break, because you didn’t want to miss a cutscene.

Not that the PS5 was a major upgrade to the PS4. Sure it can produce some better graphics, but the UI is such a downgrade.

I’ll never understand why they made an option to silence the beep at startup, but they push the boot up and login music through the TV when headphones are connected to a controller. That’s so much more annoying and last so much longer when you’re trying not to disturb other people in the room.

I know that the Rav4 Hybrids have a real hand brake, at least when they first started making them. Not sure about the newest ones.

Did toyota get rid of their hand e-brake? I thought they were one of the few left that still had a manual e-brake.

Unfortunately this time, it’s not just Russian propaganda.

It does hold water for this word, since everyone pronounces the word “gift” with a hard g. Taking a consonant from the end of the word wouldn’t change how the first letter is pronounced.

With pop music, maybe. They arent written to be appealing in and of themselves. Pop music is a pretty strict style and structure with the same bass line and same few chords. Then they are played on the radio ad nauseum, so that when it’s first released you become familiar with the song enough to like it. As a batch of pop songs start to become old, another batch is released with similar style and structure. There’s hardly anything new.

In order to keep people excited about a pop song that went through that life cycle 10+ years ago, there needs to be more. Don’t forget that there are quite a few pop performers who rely on auto tune because they can’t sing in tune, so they are just lip-syncing on stage. I’m sure some of the spectacle is also to keep the performers going and energetic during performances of the same pop crap they’ve toured with for more than a decade.

Here is an article about his response when the Minnesota speaker of the house, Melissa Hortman (democrat) was assassinated a few months ago

Boycotting seafood from a cou try that recently had an oil spill or a country where a contaminate was found to be used in factories would be apolitical boycotts.

Late 2015/early 2016, Trump himself said that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose any votes.

Sorry, I turned the frogs gay.

Edit typos

It wasn’t meant as a slight to you. It was more a comment on how they worded the law.

Kind of like how the news will turn trumps ramblings into coherent thoughts. We shouldn’t modify the language of poorly written laws to make sense of them. That hurts the people governed by them.

Don’t put words in the mouth of the law. We have something similar in TX. If you are a government employee you have to agree not to “boycott Israel”. It doesn’t say boycott Israeli products or companies. It says “boycott Israel” itself, so you just can’t say that you’ll never travel there.

Have you seen some of the bullshit put out by PragerU? I think they are pushing for it to replace some of the PBS shows

If you haven’t been, Alamo Drafthouse has an actual pre-show before the movie time. They will show clips related to the movie that you’ll see or clips from older versions of the movie you’ll see. Also old game/toy commercials like a time capsule and sometimes they’ll just show some funny Japanese game show moments.

It’s one of the reasons I like going there, you aren’t inundated with ads and kind of get into the mindset for the movie before watching it.

They already overturned Roe v Wade and Thomas has said to bring cases to overturn marriage rights on the basis of race and sexual orientation. I’m a little surprised they aren’t also going after the right to work for the LGBT community, since we only just won that right in 2020.
