The CEO is Russian. He formerly owned VK and sold it off to the Russian govt iirc.
He was forced out. This wasn't a voluntary thing. At least from what I had read last about it.
Yeah unfortunately I flash my phone with new roms too often to make signal a daily driver. Every time I do so I lose all my prior chats. Haven't used it in a few years though.
I've been using Telegram primarily and it's nice being able to logon to any device and have my chat history, but it doesn't seem secure at all. I imagine the NSA has direct access to it.
You have to realize, when you are getting a cat you are entering into voluntary serfdom.
She is the owner, you are the pet. YTA
Sallie Mae wasn't even a thing until 1973. Literally not boomers LOL. Federal student loans were very uncommon back before the 90s even and applied to only a few different areas, not everything. It is incredibly clear that something happened in the early 2000s that caused the current fiasco, with both tuition and debt skyrocketing.
It's not minimum wage's fault, it's the government guaranteeing student loans. Tuition skyrocketed since then and has been out of control since.
Then with so many people being told "You have to go to college so you don't become a garbageman!" the requirements for most jobs increased as well. Manufacturing in pharma, for instance, I could take a kid out of middle school and teach him the job in an hour. Get fresh grads from college for a bachelor's degree and they still need an hour of teaching. But now the Bachelors is required for some reason.
Ironically, garbage man pays pretty decent for some minimal manual labor.
"Economic migrants on their way to illegally invade Italy capsized and everyone died :("
Oh yeah, my heart bleeds for them. And the article is rife with "Think of the children!" pearl-clutching. It's weird but maybe you should work on your own country instead of looking for handouts and not taking children on what is probably a dangerous journey.
I avoid MS Office like the plague. Absolutely hate it. Libre Office isn't perfect, but at least it's not MS Office.
I also like Libre's Excel program much better than Microsoft's. It doesn't crash constantly, for starters.
Meh, 104 degrees feels like 117. It's...bearable but not enjoyable. What I dislike is it still being 92 at 9pm.
Joke's on you, in Texas you always need it
Yeah, whenever I see a fast food restaurant ask for tips before I receive my food, I give them nothing. Is this a threat? Will my food have boogers in it if I don't tip?
Well the billionaires weren't in the process of breaking any laws at the time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Why is that relevant to the conversation?
