according to the listing on Amazon, you are correct. 👍

Re-read it. You didn’t say I love this about ‘my town’ or ‘this town’ you used the generic ‘small town’. You probably didn’t intend it but it’s there. OP was just making a joke. You are always preaching for folks to calm down here, take your own advice.

Not all humor has too be slapstick. Sometimes a little smile is the perfect outcome.

The implication of your post is that it is a thing unique to small towns. Those of us that live big cities are inundated with stories that they are crime ridden hell holes. Poster having fun poking back, perhaps you are the one needing to relax a bit.

MONOPOLY Finally the day came when a monopoly owned everything in the world So it went looking for its stockholders to celebrate But they were all owned by it they were all dead they were someplace Their photographs hung in elevators which went up and down up and down carrying nobody Everyone else was in bed doing the exercises to get in shape for noon Hey the monopoly said lets uncork the Empire State Building and get blotto Silence The monopoly scowled All it wanted was a little good-fellowship, like you get in the highrise apartment-buildings Then the sky got awful dark Gee And everyone was in bed frantically doing those exercises that prepare us for death Exercises known as “fucking” “kissing” “caressing” Everyone was unaware that they had been bought Or that the earth was about to sell them to the moon For a little light

So you have sufficient morality left to know this shit is wrong and you are still working for this scumbag? In some ways thats worse than being the scumbag.

The first step is admitting you have a problem.

Cruelty is always the point.

Have join in the chorus for the Expanse. Both the books and the show are excellent. Very believable SciFi and great character building.

How did a century-old community hospital in a small Georgia city grow into a sprawling healthcare system that dominates the local economy?

By waging a years-long battle to eliminate its competition and become the only game in town. (THREAD)

Another data point to the truism that Private Equity never improves anything it touches.

Maybe Don’t Talk to the New York Times About Zohran Mamdani It’s remarkable, the people you’ll hear from. Teach for even a little while at an expensive institution—the term they tend to prefer is “elite”—and odds are that eventually someone who was a studen…

I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!

I drives crazy when media used the term Obamacare. That was never the name. It was created by the media and political hacks and used as a pejorative. It’s at minimum lazy and probably biased.

He’s the resident faux intellectual. Ugh.

Unfortunately there is apparently no consequences for there actions. They don’t care and will continue to do whatever they want.

Steve needs to add ‘proteinsplainer’ to his CV.

I suppose he’s hoping to settle this outside the legal process with Apple and maybe avoid paying a lawyer but that seems to be a big and ultimately expensive gamble. Especially if he is trying to back channel and the Apple attorneys aren’t involved. I guess we’ll see.

For some reason we have no issue with spending billions on highways and airports but investing money for trains is a waste, i’ll never understand.

So good!!

and you get all the content from Apple TV also. Some really good stuff.

This is very true. I am as guilty as anybody of dismissing folks in the red states for their politics but there so many people that live there that don’t support what is going on.

This so much. It is more than we don’t like this guy. It’s right there in the name, No Kings.

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

Respect you a lot John as your comments are usually well thought out even if i disagree but this is clueless. F1 is increasingly popular in the US and huge worldwide. You really think Apple is only thinking small about domestic rights? Do better.

Well, all the MagaNuts are all about ‘America First’ so I guess that makes sense. Unfortunately, don’t think the damage will be restricted to the US. I am not very confident about what our world looks like in 5-10 years.

Seems like a good idea if you are looking to stop the transport of drugs. Unfortunately our government appears to be more interested in the killing people part.

Didn’t know that. If so, that is somewhat comical since I would guess most folks like Trump that are so butthurt about Columbus would like to forget PR is part of the US and those folks are US citizens. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes. Cuba, Hispanola, Jamaica, I think. Never set foot on any part that would be the United States. Our fascination with this guy is weird.
