First picture of Charlie’s headstone has been released!

$42 million dollars. Basically nothing in terms of Google’s bottom line.

They’re doing this because they WANT to.

If someone says ‘no’, then you must stop. If you don’t then that’s rape as far as I’m concerend.

That’s not just as far as you’re concerned. That’s the DEFINITION.

I’m gonna give him credit here.

It’s the first truthful AND self-aware thing he’s said his entire term.

Vinny is incapable of saying “no” to Mario.

“Allegedly”…

I haven’t stopped celebrating for two days.

It wasn’t RIGHT for him to be killed like that, but I believed the world would be better without him a week ago, and that opinion hasn’t changed now that he’s gone.

Using the word “problem” is wrong because that implies he sees something wrong that needs to be fixed.

What he sees is something he can’t control or bring to heel, and that’s unacceptable to him.

Which is also what the sniveling “don’t make him angry” people need to understand… the same thing minorities and LGBTQ people have understood for DECADES.

TRYING TO FLY UNDER THE RADAR WILL NOT SAVE YOU. It’s your EXISTENCE that he finds offensive, not your behavior.

Be loud. Be uncontrollable.

Fantastic, thanks!

Feeling good too! I’ve got a feeling this is really gonna be a great decade!

You’re only mentally healthy until the mentally unhealthy decide you don’t get to be physically healthy anymore.

Guess we citizens will have to praise twice as hard.

doubleplusUNgood.

Goodthinked that for you.

Yes. A war YOU started.

Talk about closing the barn door after the cows are already gone…

One point of hope is that they mandated cross platform chat compatibility too, and every platform is just… Ignoring it and not doing it with zero consequences.

Maybe this just also won’t happen.

$45 million??? That’s a rounding error on a single day of Google’s income. I’m not even a little shocked that they have no scruples or integrity whatsoever, but I AM shocked how apparently CHEAP our democracy is.

Hell, it’ll probably cost more than that to IMPLEMENT this in any meaningful sense!

“Involuntary Unpaid Interns”

They’re going to get stopped either way. A flotilla of 27 civilian ships isn’t sneaking past one of the most advanced, heavily armed navies in the world, no matter how “sneaky” they try to be.

At least this way they’re on record for stopping the delivery.

Let’s not forget it’s convenient for conservative parties of BOTH sides to have some red meat to throw to their country’s nationalists. Normal, everyday people scarcely have the time or interaction to have strong feelings about another country whose people they don’t encounter that often, independent of history. But when you stir up your constituents to unite against an out-group, you can get them out to the polls and have a nice convenient threat to accuse the other guys of being soft against. They will become real friends when the real threat from China is greater than the political benefit of using each other to keep a united nationalist wing.

The Goncharov TV mini-series was 5 episodes of pure perfection. Best thing NBC ever did.
