Prepend "in" to the name of the two Sith first invented.
Tap for spoiler
Insidious and Invader. It doesn't hold up with later Sith, but I'm convinced that it's the inspiration behind the first two.
Glaub die Kirche findet das nicht so lustig, aber ich bin voll dafür. Und die Küken sind auch süß, ja.
Maybe the targeted advertising got your location wrong?
Yeah, well, it's awful and annoying and shitty and I wish it'd stop doing that. I wish it'd stop doing a lot of things, to be honest, but that's beside the point.
I don't use it, but my GF does. She'll have the volume up for some video that does interest her, then be scrolling through and treat me to the audible part of that trend without even seeing the funny / cute / insightful / boring picture to accompany and potentially compensate the acoustic pollution. She's thoroughly numbed to it, but I'm not and I hate it.
(I've dropped the idea of getting her to quit the app, that battle just isn't worth fighting.)
Half the time, people seem to upload otherwise perfectly complete still pictures as reel with some dumb music over it because if you're not constantly assaulted by the same popular song snippets over and over on every post, are you even paying attention?
Particularly pernicious are ones with some sad or bittersweet content that will have some variant of "generic slow piano with a female, breathy voice singing some words that sound sad but you couldn't actually tell what it's about without listening to more than the five seconds used in this looping video".
You need a link to the post to prove the tweet is real, and an archived link to prove it was real in case it gets deleted.
Donors get honors
I mean, this is the Catholic Church we're talking about. They're not particularly known for fair hiring policies.
Shouldn't it be "Carthago deleta est" after its destruction?
Corporate management often seems to think of changes as isolated, independent events, where the measurable impact of each change can be attributed to that change. I think it's a symptom of the pathological need for KPIs and Data-based decision-making. Making big decisions is scary, and data can help with informing them, but I get the impression some managers grow so dependent on using numbers as a crutch to spare them from having to justify their decision with their own best judgement.
I love this
I hate it too but I love it.
