I was at a party with a bunch of friends getting pumped of a night of partying and the news stopped the party completely. Killed the vibe and we had a quiet night in. It was erie how it affected people.

Source on his being innocent? I don't remember that being even likely given the evidence, but it's been like 35 years so I'm curious what came to light.

I've got twin girls. We held off on smartphones until this past summer when they turned 13.

One couldn't wait to have a smart phone and now handles her own entire social life through it and is happier than ever now that she can communicate with her friends non stop.

The other simply did not want a phone. We asked a dozen times and she said she wasn't interested in one and didn't think she would use it. Since she's with her twin 75% of the time anyway we decided not to push.

All y'all getting preachy about "don't", think about how our society treats alcohol and then tell me how drugs are different enough to be "bad" when alcohol is legal and widespread. Everyone should be free to choose their intoxicants for themselves.

I recommend https://colinwoodard.com/books/american-nations/ It's a well written source on this subject. Woodard details eleven groups each with a shared cultural background, with names like New Netherland, Tidewater, El Norte, and the Left Coast. The Wikipedia page for the book has a broad outline of the ideas if you want an overview; but, the book is well worth a read if this is an area of interest for you.

You can turn it off now. I think it's the Feature called Crisis Alert in Safety and Emergency

Huh? In the exact same place on this Pixel and my last three Pixels is the Power button, Double tapping the Power Button on my Android phone opens the camera. Press and hold to talk to Assistant. Hold a long time to open Emergency and eventually call 911 automatically. It's been a option for a long time. It would be nice if Google made these use assignable actions but they already exist.

Due to odd building geometry, the handicap stall in the ladies restrooms off the main lobby is bigger in sqft than my assigned workspace. I think of it as my "more private office."

Does anyone else remember reddit's Knights of New? I'm just doing my part.

I was so offended and upset I made a meme and posted it here. Really got under my skin.

The four piles of things for unfinished projects from the last month that I can see from my desk are contributing to this feeling of being attacked.
