  • If we say that the accepted pronunciation of “X” is “ex” then we run into an even bigger problem than Prince’s logo.

    “Ex” User says… Is this a former user of the website or current?

    A user on the website “ex” is too long winded and sounds like I’m saying a hypothetical.

    Users on “ex” - although shorter, X is a street name for ecstacy and user is sometimes used as shorthand for drug user (e.g. User and abuser) so why should we be listening to a cracked out party kid?

    The golden ticket is “formerly Twitter” because we actually know what the fuck that one is.

    I’m willing to bet there’s at least one X user on X right now.









  • No, they killed the hostages and left. If they tried to hold up, and maybe go for a prisoner swap, there’d be more people at risk.

    Not claiming Hamas is good but if there’s no resistance, they don’t kill as many people while finding the bodies.

    They’re not trying to protect the ‘innocent’, they didn’t want the IDF gunning them down. When they saw the news about the IDF laying waste to everyone, they said “Fuck that,” killed the hostages and left.

    Warfighting 101, that’s why you don’t go scorched earth for your hostages. If you make it a smart move to just kill them, they’ll just get killed…

    Granted if you’re not looking for the hostages but looking to make your opponent look more inhuman, well, in that case great idea.









  • I would call IT and give them error codes and attempted remedies. They would do house calls and leave with a few rip its. Everyone in my office usually had my call IT because they (my coworkers and the IT guys) knew I’d at least tried something. If someone else from the office called IT, they knew that I was out of the office or the user was lying about something.


  • It depends who the Republicans and Democrats are. Republican Voters fell in love - Establishment Republicans fell in line. Republican Officials all talked about how terrible Trump was and would be but still get on their knees when it’s time.

    Democratic Voters fall in love, with Bernie and AOC and their guy. Establishment Democrats tell them to get in line… Well, the Voters either do or don’t show up.

    So, you’re correct that the original subversion was true but it also depends on who any individual commenter references as “The Dems” and “The Repubs” which you can always shift to suit your needs.

    The Republican party pretends they’re wagging the dog but they don’t even have a leash.
