Discussion: Reports Of Shots Fired At YouTube Headquarters In California

So what’s going to be the new “thoughts and prayers” line?

There’s no making any sense of this one either. The driver thought she was Louise and Thelma was seated next to her (same sex couple and their children).

Moments after Hart punched the gas, authorities said, the 2003 GMC Yukon containing Hart’s wife and their six adopted children — three of whom have yet to be found — sped forward and continued accelerating as it pitched over a 100-foot cliff, sending everyone inside to their deaths.

I didn’t make enough to have that problem - just simple math worked.

Isn’t that why we have fingers? For counting.

Call me crazy, but I am going to point my finger at budget cuts - or more specifically budget cuts to local beat reporting because “profitability”. IIRC, the Beeb is not as beholden to shareholder value.

Sinclair will simply write the “facts” and all local broadcasters just have to look nice and read it.

The Beeb is a quasi-governmental entity funded by license fees paid by television and radio purchasers under an Act of Parliament mandating that they be informative and impartial and more or less enlightened and enlightening. On their side of the pond, anyway.

Most big market local TV stations are doing the news 6 or more hours a day.
How do they not reap a fortune in commercial revenue?

That’s arithmetic!
Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division … I know there’s a Schoolhouse Rock chorus I’m supposed to sing here … nope, got nothin’.

Math uses letters, not numbers.

And squiggles.

I remember first going WTF when I saw those “unboxing” things. Then I realized what it was: consumer porn.

… side note about this dude…

My fault for chatting w/ the guy, I guess. We were actually having an enjoyable chat, although even that was him railing against the police enforcing speed limits against him (“I know my vehicle; he is just jealous that I’m a better driver”). His Lyft profile said he was an avid gamer, so I asked about that (I am a bay area nerd girl). Of course, he is into the tactical & 1st person shooter games! We were then having a nice conversation about his music, that I also liked (70s). Then The Who came on w/ “tip my hat to a new constitution” and he started talking about how soon we would really have one. One that would get rid of government overreach & those terrible Social Justice Warriors. I just nodded.

Sad, because some of these guys I could almost like. If they weren’t such gamergate, entitled, racist, misogynistic, self-centered, faux-victimized, white dudes.

And I mean that sincerely!
