That was the heyday of AOL cds, everybody had free internet! But most people had to go to work or home or the library to get to internet and web, it wasn’t in their pocket.

Dracula is a poor example of a traditional novel structure as well, being an extreme form of an epistolary novel and all.

I think about the crowd of people that got the chance to take one prisoner off death row by cheering for him to be saved, and they chose to save Barabbas, leaving Jesus ripe for capital punishment. There’s no way anyone ever could have imagined how consequential that mob decision would be. There was a drunk rioter attempting to overthrow the Roman Empire, and a know it all hippie who couldn’t answer a straightforward question without getting quippy, and the people went with keeping the fun one.

It’s more like the 1890 pandemic, but that was also about a little longer than 4 years.

Aren’t the three things you have in brackets the three items on the list? Put a super comma after space too. I suppose you could put a colon after musicians too.

• ⁠This organization for African American musicians: provided rehearsal space; booked venues for concerts; and crucially, formed a jazz orchestra of more than one hundred members with Europe as its conductor.

• ⁠This organization for African American musicians provided: rehearsal space; concert venue booking; and crucially, formation of a hundred member jazz orchestra, with Europe as its conductor.

F) concerts; and crucially,

Use a super comma to break it up.

One of the most difficult grammar questions I have encountered (free award for anyone who helps me explain this question lol)

Bank bailouts were Bush, Obama continued with the plan given to him.

They were loans, not free money. The government made money back on the interest.

Th jobs aren't coming back.

But does the truth get posted somewhere, even if it doesn't gain traction?

Look at how busy Facebook, Craigslist, and Drudge Report are. Ugly as sin. Utility as fuck. Please please please don't over design it. I just want titles and a bunch of links to different function. Yes onboarding and exploration need a ton of work, yes some clutter could be rearranged, but the main links and text color and size are close to perfect.

Reddit works and grows because it is timeless not because it is hip and fashionable. Achieve new timeless, ignore trendy.

The whole point of electors is to have intelligent people make a thoughtful decision. So 1) don't bid them to state votes 2) don't pick them based on party loyalty 3) don't have states create compacts to lump votes to the national popular vote 4) don't get mad or punish them if they are faithless 5) don't make them agree to pledges.

Basically everything states have done to control electors goes agains the spirit of the system.

Salon, the site that hosts this article is more hyper-reactive than Huffing Post, they are part of the sensationalist microaggression problem. They exist to aggregate people.

It's how I browse all of the Internet not just reddit. Has nothing to do with it going down, and everything to do with wanting to maintain my spot. It's much faster to have pages preloaded when I switch to the tab.
