Buttigieg’s campaign paid Shadow Inc., the company behind the Iowa Caucus app, $42,500 in July for text messaging software, campaign finance records show. The software was not related to that developed for the Iowa Caucus.

In addition, the Buttigieg campaign did not help develop the app used in Iowa, a campaign spokesman confirmed Tuesday to the AP.

Yeah, Cody's cool.

Not Pete.

Anteater 02-07-2020 03:50 PM

Cody should run for President. Or maybe work at Vice. How about both?

Lucem Ferre 02-07-2020 03:52 PM

No to both.

Are those cultures devoid of merit despite the millions that suffered?

If you want something practical out of this, I'd recommend appreciating the fact that if diversity didn't matter in America, you wouldn't have multi-billion dollar companies and organizations pushing messages about toxic masculinity, the "evils of white nationalism", lots of imagery of mixed race couples, etc. into the mainstream or making Colin Kaepernick the face of an ad campaign that spent millions upon millions to reach a lot of people. Going by all that, I'd say diversity and the desire to perpetuate it is alive and well.

You totally forgot how the American Indians battled with and killed off the race of giants that live on the continent before they arrived.

It's cool how all the people who care about the Native Americans lump them into one group as if they didn't vary widely from tribe to tribe.

jwb 02-08-2020 11:27 AM

You know what's really cool? Dream catchers.

At least I differentiated between them and the race of giants that lived on the NA continent. I doubt if all tribes battled them, but many of them have them battling with the giants in their folklore - or so I heard.

Anytime I hear the word Aztec the first thing that comes to mind are cameras. This is a music forum, I don't think I have to explain why.

Frownland 02-08-2020 11:31 AM

Anytime I hear the word Aztec, the first thing that comes to mind is usually related to the context that I heard the word in.

jwb 02-08-2020 11:33 AM

what about someone with a whole brain full of Alzheimer's?


The Batlord 02-10-2020 02:21 PM

I'd sneak into his computer room and tell Google that Loretta was cheating on him.

I'm assuming once they gather enough info Google will eventually create an AI version of Loretta and then upload her into a secret sexbot for use by top Google execs.

It’s Not Getting Better for Queer Kids

Quote:

The culture may have shifted on gay rights, but sky-high suicide rates remain.

bisexuals were more likely to have attempted suicide than their straight or gay peers

bisexual individuals often feel rejected from both straight and queer cultures

Definitely seen this irl. Thought we were getting past this. Even on our board culture there’s been comments that somehow Marie’s sexuality is more authentic than Wolf’s.

I don't even relate to the idea of a "culture" centered around my sexual preferences, but gay culture really doesn't appeal to me at all.

This is true, I see it all the time around me. Bisexual acceptance is definitely lagging behind gay acceptance, and the fact that bisexuals get **** from both straight and gay people doesn't help

Despite the naive hopes of Susan Collins, the lesson that Trump has recently learned is that the GOP will defend anything he does and that Congress will never remove him from office. So now, with the connivance of Barr's DOJ, he's following through with the reprisals and politically-motivated investigations that Schiff and others warned us of. Latest move is to go easy on Roger Stone, who was found guilty of lying under oath, obstruction of Congress and threatening a witness with bodily harm.

To me, the unbelievable bit is that no-one seems to be criticizing the four prosecutors who have resigned in protest. Is this how we address conflict these days? Walk away and let some player for the opposing team take our place on the field? I don't remember that being the attitude during WWII, but maybe I missed the headline:-

Patton Quits! German soldiers "not friendly" and "too aggressive"
