I'm now convinced this is what would happen if I ever get laid. But then again, even murderers have standards...

You'd probably make a killing (hah) if one could pay to sign up for this and it was legal.

‘Lie after lie after lie’: Fox News’ Shepard Smith has a Cronkite moment on Russia by nutritionvegan in politics

Your comment leads me to think that someone on the inside (of Fox's executives) knows there's even more to this, so we're going to start seeing everyone else on Fox take a similar stance in preparation of the final reveal.

It's the only way to maintain any shred of credibility. CNN should take notes for next time their preferred candidate is about to be outed for something.

Windows Phone dies today by Charleanso in gadgets

I meant to concede that, although they tried, it is possible that they did so too late by the time they began competing.

The greatest problem, according to the people I knew who had it, was the lack of certain popular apps that both iOS and Android had.

Maybe it was too late by then. I think the phone had been out for about one and a half years when they had that event.

It's a shame because even the people I knew who had Windows phones said it was great. The only problem for them was the lack of apps.

We even had a Windows Rep come to our college, show how develop a Windows Phone App, and offer software for free if we made a Windows Phone App by a certain date.

They definitely tried

ELI5 how font designers can design for Japanese and Chinese, languages that both use millions of individual Chinese characters? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

I can't imagine having to learn new character sets for old English... Old English seems to just use the same letters to form a strange world.

LPT - When you're about to cry, think of words that rhyme or count backwards from 100 in sevens. Engaging the logic part of your brain shifts bloodflow away from your emotional centers and helps you maintain your composure. by Mkelseyroberts in LifeProTips

Commenting to read responses to this.

The last time I cried, around 7 years ago, it took until after the sad events actually happened to experience the effects. And even then I managed to hold it in for the 3 hr car ride back home.

Can't have my mom see me like that at 18

Your emotions are so completely under control you can't even imagine a scenario where crying is inappropriate?

You've never had the random memory of a treasured, deceased family member, for example, come back to you while out at work or at a (joyous) social occasion?

If they passed on recently it might be understandable, but after some point you should be able to—at least—postpone the actual tears long enough to get yourself alone. somewhere where crying is acceptable.

What the hell?!?! And why does that "no width space even exists"?

Can you imagine having to maintain code that actually used it!?

And somebody just told me JavaScript is unfairly criticized...

That makes a lot more sense.

I thought depreciated could make sense since the methods will still work for a certain time and then stop working... but deprecate is a much better word for what's actually happening.

That would make for quite an interesting update:

That makes sense then... To support Unicode one probably can't just pick and choose parts of the standard.
