Clear-cut facts are dry as hell, too. No emotion, no worldbuilding. Saying “I went to the baseball game this afternoon” is not as engaging as “Scott’s kid hit his first home run today, you should have seen his dad cheer!”

I bet that’s why poisoning was so big before guns. Like who has the time to learn archery.

Brian Thompson is such a nothing name, I was wondering who it was by the time I got to your comment.

This is the best thing I’ve read today.

People see men fondling a stature: “Hah! What a hilarious pervert.” People see a woman stradling a statue: “She must want children.”

Hey.

This is what makes Arrival so good. They don’t want the best person for the job because she insists on being involved, they give the aliens nicknames immediately and everything goes to shit at the first excuse to start a war.

I support independent creators of all kinds.

Because otherwise the thief would return the phone to it’s rightful owner?

Calling features “Security” when they significantly reduce the secondary market is a convenient way to increase profits.

In person at an apple store.

I bought an iphone used off a friend who stopped being my friend immediately after. I never wanted an apple product, but my phone broke, I was poor and he sold it to me for $50.

I didn’t know you needed the apple id and password to SIGN OUT of anything. I sent him messages, did the whole “click here to request a new password” thing so he would get an e-mail about it…to his apple e-mail which, let’s be honest, no one uses.

Not being able to use the full functionality sucked, but I could manage. What was worse was receiving pictures and messages intended for him.

I did what any sane person would do and brought it to the apple store. The first person who helped me repeated “Our security systems protect your privacy” so many times, no matter what I said, I lost my shit, shouted “I would like to sign out so I can stop seeing nudes of this guy’s girlfriend!”

They didn’t help and I bought an android.

I can’t “blow up” an image you screenshotted from a video your sister posted on facebook and make it look any better then a pile of angry pixel garbage. I can, however, remove the pause icon from your garbage picture.
