That’s 12.8 billion bites for NYC alone (the population is 8 million there, right? I can’t be bothered to check)

This would honestly be a lot easier

The challenge isn’t finding counter examples, it’s limiting the narrative of history to have a simple “good/bad divide” but here are some selections of underdogs one may consider the greater of two evils:

• The confederacy (US Civil War)
• Caesar’s army crossing the Rubicon
• Imperial Japan post Pearl Harbor
• Pakistan’s complicated history with India
• King Leonidas and his men (Persia was arguably more equitable)
• Austria-Hungary (WW1)
• Fascist Italy (WW2)

As for David and Goliath, keep in mind David was using a sling, a weapon that can hit with the same force as a modern revolver when used properly. It’s entirely possible that story is an allegory and/or propaganda of the value of properly equipping one’s armies; it probably shouldn’t be viewed as anymore impressive than a rampage killer fatally wounding somebody twice their size

Oh look, I got mail

The Switch was an iterative improvement on the Wii U and while I wish they called it Nintendo Snap (how I heard the new sound effect) instead of drab numbering, I’d argue there are similar iterative innovations here–some likely to compete with the Steam Deck–without losing what’s working so far

This apple rrrrrrrr… This apple is rrrrrrrrrr-ruh-ruh-ruh ROYAL BLUE!!

If they’re landlords, the correct term for a tenant is landslave

Were they kicked out solely for having a differing opinion? Then it’s indisputably an echo chamber

Do the members seldom here opposing opinions outside of strawmen arguments or the occasional troll? Then it’s a defacto echo chamber

All organizations with common interests run the risk of becoming one, but the trap is particularly insidious for (and often weaponized by) online communities

This also happens within IT

Sounds like you’re salaried. Generally those jobs care about getting your work done more than watching a clock or waiting for phones to ring

If you have a decent boss, explaining what happened and asking if you can just take off a different day this coming week would probably be fine, even if Tuesday isn’t feasible on such short notice. Personally, I’d be gunning for Friday (assuming you have the normal weekend days off)

If that conversation is considered a problem, then it’s time to see if the company’s competitors are hiring for your position

Richard move, Dick

You can just make them talk to one of those shitty models from the early 2010s

I think you mean heresy

Langoliers but worse special effects
