It’s always projection. Every fucking time.

I don’t want to accuse the GOP of pedophilia, but so many of their accusations have been admissions that it disgusting to even contemplate.

Then the private companies pay their CEO’s multiple times their corporate tax burden.

Yup, my heart skipped a little beat before I got to the end.

Its marketplace has been really popular in my area. Craigslist has all but dried up for may item types.

But they own Instagram as well don’t forget, and they have bought out many other competitors that we won’t ever get to experience.

Yeah, lack of competition is driving a lot of this. Fixing bugs doesn’t increase their stock value. It doesn’t make the line go up.

Launching products and bragging about profits makes the line go up (especially just before a quarter or monthly report is due).

AT&T/Bell Telephone was like this for years until they were finally broken up (nominally). When cellphones came out and provided nationwide competition, long distance suddenly became free.

We need to bust up google, Facebook, etc. They have nothing to push them to be better, just CEO egos and investors to please.

I discovered a legit bug in the handling of switch statements I a for loop in Actionscript 2 way back when Flash was still a thing.

Until I finally killed my blog about it last year, it was the only result other than my post on the adobe site around the same time. I don’t think it ever got fixed, but didn’t keep following after the iPhone finished off flash.

I’d prefer it actually visible to the candidates.

They need to know that we know.

The best thing about this joke is how protesting will make him sound so much more guilty of it.

Yeah, iPhones have similar modes, swipe down and the screen scrolls down you can also swipe the keyboard to either side for better access too.

I hardly ever do that though, except by accident.

I vote for big true/false gauge behind them both. The needle swings as the speaker speaks. Maybe a flashing red light for insane lies and green for absolute truth.

But they would need real fact checkers voting on the truthfulness in real time to make it work.

“‘Test’ any out?”

Even if it wasn’t broken, nobody should be touching any upholstery he’s spent any time with.
