  • You’re right she won’t but more importantly this may actually cause a lot of kids to confront the “me vs parents” view they have lived with. (Edit - “me vs parents” = my views vs what my parents say and think)

    My dad always says “this” about democrats and how republicans are right because of “that”.

    This will hopefully cause people to think of Swift is endorsing her then I should look into why. There are plenty of people who don’t pay attention to politics not because they are intentionally absent from it, but because it’s just not in the realm of consciousness. This may change that.





  • In a bar instead of online like NORMAL PEOPLE.

    All jokes and sarcasm aside, I met my wife in a bar as her and her friend were trying to avoid a guy who seemed to be bothering them. Offered to buy the all a round of drinks and said we are at a table over in the corner if they wanted to join. My future wife and her friend said yeah lets go the guy had a sour look on his face and said no thanks but I will take the beer.

    Had a wonderfully late night talking and laughing with her and fell in love shortly after.





  • I am going to do a bit of transitive properties here. - Talking about family = family plan to me.

    So for both services we are talking 6 devices streaming their own accounts for $20 a month.

    At the point in our argument there is no huge difference between the two to be honest. Same price for the same services for Music. They both provide good audio and playlist function. (lossless audio on normal speakers and car speakers doesn’t do much unless we are talking about $$$ cars/home audio and at that point this conversation isn’t happening)

    The big difference for me is that we have apple mobile devices. (I tried Android some time ago but didn’t like that each company had their own skin and updates depended on how each company felt at the time. The nexus I had was great and was straight from google no extra crap but even that had a 2-3 year span though so no different than Apple for me at the time)

    With Apple one (6 devices for apple music), every family member gets Apple TV+, Apple Music, and Apple arcade. For me this put it over the fence. Kids get more games I don’t have to pay for and we get an extra streaming service I don’t have to pay extra for won it for me.

    Essentially extra value won it for me. Not just the music service.






  • With absolute honesty, I have to say I’ve not read the article just the headline and the first paragraph.

    I know far too many servicemen and servicewomen who came out mentally and physically damaged while watching their peers die. (It sucks but this day is to recognize and honor that)

    A good portion of them will agree with you on principal. They are the same people that will say this day is about those they lost who are not military in service to our country as well as those were military.

    If you’re in a hostile situation and you have your teams back, you have your teams back. It doesn’t matter what your role is.

    If your argument is to include people who are not in the line of fire, or are in a hostile area, this is not the day to make that argument. That comes off incredibly tasteless and insulting to those who are struggling with survivors guilt, 10, 20 and even 30 years after the fact.
