They've been playing the long game here...encroaching on your Drive storage for years

  • Gmails didn't used to count towards storage
  • Photos didn't used to count towards storage (unless stored in "Original" quality)

I'm wagering "Location Data" will be along soon. Then "number of passwords stored".

Next move will be "number of connected devices", even though that doesn't impact how much they have to store.

Finally they will get round to billing you on your number of individual body hairs (shaving in breach of T&Cs).

I saw this movie at the cinema in 1979 when it was released. I was 14, therefore 4 years too young to see it (UK, "X Certificate), but a member of friend group with a gruff voice went to the ticket office).

Large cinema, packed out, lots of excited mumbling until the film started.

After the face-hugger jump shot, total and absolute silence. And the at the chest-burster scene... absolute chaos. Screams. Real screams, not happy roller coaster screams. A few people leaving, unable to take it.

And it got me. It hit me hard. I had deliberately avoided any description of the movie so had no expectations, and then this happened, ,right there in front of me. The gore, the realistic acting, the pain of John Hurt...oh my...

That set the scene for the rest of the movie and you knew they weren't fucking about.

It traumatized me for weeks. Superb movie.

Edited on request.

Android User here. Never owned any Apple device.

But they're fucking good quality. Anyone can see that. So what's the problem?

I like Android 'cos I like dicking about with it. Some people don't want to dick about with their phones, they want to do other stuff that could be more interesting.

Yeah I also wondered if "nuclear gravity" was some fascinating new branch of physics.

Got real disappointed when I realised that it meant dropping 'em.

Yep, good. Look at the damage he did. He'll have sufficient funds to have food and shelter. Anything beyond that he does not deserve.

How much divisiveness did he cause?
How many screaming arguments?
How many families did he break up?
How many bar room fights?
How much pain for grieving parents?

Fuck him, he's a cunt.

Does no-one check the damn IDs, ffs? It's a simple matter of typing some numbers into a computer.

I don't know about the U.S. but in the UK where I'm from, "illegally hiring a non-UK citizen" would be a criminal offence for the hiring company. How are they going to tax them?

Thank you. But I'm still not sure I get it. Could you maybe give an example of what kind of lie or fear mongering would make people want to say:

"No, I don't want the constitution to recognise that there were an indigenous people here before us."

That seems like an unarguable fact, isn't it?

I'm sorry, I don't mean to put you on the spot but since you were kind enough to take the time to give an overview, it makes me hungry for more detail!

UK here. Can they do the maths for us too please?. Just a few billion would let us employ a few thousand more doctors.. That'd be awesome..Thx.

I'm sorry, I'm stupid and not up-to-date with this.

Taken at face value, Constitutional Recognition for the indigenous population sounds correct.

So what was wrong with it?

"Room for a couple more in there?"
"Yeah but make it snappy"

I'm in my late fifties, and my best friend who regularly takes me hiking (he's ex-Coldstream Guards) is a Brexiteer and I'm a Remainer.

We meet maybe once every couple of months, and it's always the first thing he wants to talk about - he's firmly in the "this is not the Brexit I voted for" camp.

I don't want to bad mouth him because he's my dearest of friends but give it a rest mate. I want talk about who's playing at our local dive bar next week, I'm not bothered about Brexit any more.

Here's a handy way to tell if something's true or not:

Is it true?

  • Did Vladimir Putin say it's true?
    No: Possibly true, acquire more data
    Yes: 100% categorically not true
