Assuming what he's saying is true, I still keep coming back to this line:

“My boss said, ‘I would have killed someone who said what you said in the meeting.’”

How does someone say something like that? And how is this something that he's never been called out for?

Yeah, kinda puts paid to the idea that piracy is about sustainable, non-DRMed software for all when the one company whose niche is ensuring that such resources are available is being undermined like this.

If by "engage in public life" they mean being quiet and not interrupting others' quiet time then sure.

To me it sounds like people want another public space that isn't a library. Once libations enter the picture it also feels like it's not always going to be a safe place.

It sounds like you're being sarcastic but you're getting all these serious replies.

> still using first person pronouns even after asking the reader to be them.

It's nice to have someone accept you for who you are though.

No, that's "poutine"! You're thinking of a large box used as a form of transportation for a human passenger, often carried using poles by at least four other people.

Vocabulary presumably means learning the meaning of something, which means the parents must have been pretty dedicated in teaching the child the word "twelve" without poisoning their mind with knowledge of how to say any other numbers.

Alternatively, that child has learned twelve words today.

I think the problem is this: the man was paid for his work. People don't seem to get that.

The deal was that he was paid an amount of money to make an art piece. That art piece was supposed to use another bunch of money as props. He was supposed to then give back the prop money after the exhibition was over.

When he made his work that used none of the money, that was fine. The museum rolled with it and gave him his dues. They didn't even ask for the prop money back when they realised he wasn't using it.

The problem is that he's now supposed to return the prop money that was to be used in the artwork, and he's refusing to.

He's already been paid, he's just being a shit to an organisation offering a public service.

It is actually safe, though, and all this fear-mongering based on misinformation rather than what actually has been said by not just Japan but the IAEA (and admitted by SK) is really hindering efforts at sustainable energy.

I've literally never heard about it until this post.

Looking at the reviews seems like a shame as the only complaints are the hardware limitations. Still won't be getting it until I finish (at least some of) my backlog.

Yes, it stands for Mali, no, it's not why lemmygrad used the domain name. Do you think all the services like Grammarly and Bitly are all Libyan services as well? Because I've got news that may just blow your mind.

Please stop copy-pasting ignorance.
