American here, we're on an AT&T family plan at $50 USD/month for each line. Yeah, it's expensive, but you get a lot for that price; unlimited talk, unlimited texts, and unlimited data (with no throttling); there's no roaming anywhere in Mexico, Canada, or the United States and no charges for calling international between those three countries (and I think that might also include the Bahamas, but I could be mistaken). We also get a 60 GB hotspot per line per month, but that part might be inside the US only, I've never used it during trips to Mexico or Canada.

Even the characters at Disneyland have specific meet and greet areas where you're supposed to take photos.

For a while I worked at a theme park in central Florida. Yeah, it's that one. Some of the guests went wild.

One time I was walking through a guest area on my way to the break room when a dude pushing a stroller ran into me without looking. Apologies on both sides and then the dude tried to hand me something. I put my hands behind my back as a kind of "no thanks," we're not really supposed to take things from guests. I looked down and it was a used diaper. He thought he could just hand a park employee his child's shit filled Pampers and that we'd take care of it. There was a trash can literally right behind him, but thinking on it later where did he change the diaper? There's trash cans in the bathrooms and they all have changing stations... did he just change the kid outside? Is that a thing parents do?

Another time I was helping the transportation department during a park closure. Up on the monorail platform I was shoulder to shoulder with like a thousand people. A train arrives, the doors and gates open, and people start boarding. A woman who'd been standing near me stopped at the doors, turned to face me, poked her finger into my chest and shouted "YOU RUINED OUR VACATION!" She stared daggers into my soul as she walked backwards like a Bond villain into the car and continued staring me down as the doors closed and the train left the station. I have no clue who this was or what I had done.

Finally, I had to break up a fight where grown ass adults were yelling at each other and had started spitting on each other's children (like WTF). No idea who started it or even if the two groups knew each other, but shit was looking to come to blows and the security people weren't quite there yet. Another park employee and I stepped up between them with a "come on folks" and "this is a place for families." Both of us were big guys so we made a wall between them, I'm 6'2 and was about 280lbs at the time (128cm [typo edit: 182 lol] and almost 130 kgs [edit for my fellow Americans: that's about one refrigerator in height and around weight of a Shetland pony]). Saw the parents faces drop from anger to embarrassment immediately realizing how dumb they were being when security jogged up and a manager on a Segway rolled in.

The most magical place in central Florida really brings out the strange in some folks.

Vivaldi works so good on my phone it's insane. Outlook, Teams, Workday, and so many other work apps I no longer need to have because Vivaldi just runs them so smooth.

Vivaldi has been very good on my desktop as well as on Android. It's a chrome fork made by some people who left the Opera dev team.

It could be a romantic however not necessarily a sexual attraction (aesthetic attractions also exist). I'm asexual, but still have romantic and aesthetic attractions to people.

I've definitely been fucked by a few landlords, but it's not a service I'd recommend to anyone else.

Take your pick.

The brother who was fired from his job as a prison guard for being too racist. He's told me on more than one occasion that he's smarter than any black person he's ever met... he's dropped out of college multiple times and now works for a convenience store along with "being his own boss" for MLM, selling shit door-to-door (yes, he will be trying to sell stuff at holiday gatherings).
The aunt who's sure that Obama was, in fact, the antichrist mentioned in the Book of Revelations. She believes that queer people are all pedophiles who can convert children and others to "their ways." Oddly though... not a Trump supporter, because DJT "let that beautiful daughter of his marry a Jew."
The cousin who is a flat earther and won't shut up about how the Jews run everything with their power tied (somehow) directly to convincing everyone that the planet isn't flat. His wife tried to get him to cut ties with the family because we don't go to their church which is all of about 100 people and based out of a partially abandoned strip mall.

They've all been ostracized by family in the past, but keep getting invited to stuff.

Yeah. On my work desktop, our IT people have told us to not use the Outlook program but rather to just go to the website. On my phone, I run it in Vivaldi instead of the app (which is a little jankie, but not as bad as it was running in Chrome or Firefox).

Oh my goodness... my job requires me to work with a team on some fairly industry specialized software (steaming and broadcast television); the way my coworkers have their shit set up is so weird. It's like we are all speaking the same language, but with wildly different dialects.

That's what happened in his first term (and apparently within his business for years). Trump's management style appears to be: gather sycophants and yes men, orchestrate drama to pit everyone against each other, stay in power due to the instability caused by the infighting. No one considers challenging the king if the court is too chaotic.

This happened throughout his first term as well as within the Trump Organization before he sought public office. His management style seems to be one where the boss pits everyone against each other to keep all would-be dethroners at bay. It's not the best way to distribute the keys of power, but it is a good way to keep anyone from challenging the leader even in the slightest.

Every time I see stuff like this it makes me slightly glad they got laughed out of the smart phone game. Can you imagine if a Microsoft mobile OS became a serious third between Android and iOS? I mean, those two aren't great by any stretch of the imagination (and are probably doing or planning similar shit), but Microsoft is just going gloves off at this point.

Foundationally antisemitic... "let's gather all the Jews into one country, tell them that's where they belong and only where they belong; the only place they could actually be safe. Anyone opposing this is clearly a racist/xenophobic and/or genocidal. Anyone standing in the way of this project must be destroyed, even if (perhaps especially if) they are themselves Jewish."

The SA is so fucking rampant. Years back, we had a bar owner drug a bartender and try to have his way with them after hours. Barback came back in to get some water and stopped it, but SA is SA. Cops called and, while a nightmare scenario, thankfully the owner was arrested and eventually convicted... his ex-wife got the bar in the divorce, but closed and sold the space due to it having been a widely known incident.

I mean,800k seems low actually... it was up and running for like six or seven years. Maybe the prices were too steep?

The only reason the DNC couldn't get Kissinger for this election is that he couldn't get a weekend pass from hell.

Joe Biden said as much, out loud, several times.

Do they not sell kids joke books in the check out line at the grocery store anymore? Used to be tons of those.

Leading expert on buttons says to use buttons?

It's exactly what Big Button wants you to think!!! Wake up sheeple!!!!!1!1!11
