Melon with something savory is a widely popular choice. See: honeydew with prosciutto/parma ham and cantaloupe/honeydew with tajin (Mexican mix of savory spices.)

Yet another reason to avoid this absolutely unnecessary spectacle.
Yeah, that’s the wrong word. “Extracted” or “looted” or “stole” are all more appropriate.
Skip the psych exam. Restore the “public servant” aspect.
All assets are sold and the cash is placed in a trust that earns 1% interest. When you leave office you get your money back.
24/7 audio and video coverage of your life as long as you are in office. The toilet is not filmed unless someone goes in with you. Other than that, your life is an open book.
After you leave office, you can teach classes as long as your compensation is no more than the lowest-paid professor at the school that employs you. You can write books. Or you can enjoy your pension. No corporate jobs or partner positions at fancy law firms.
The headline is missing “again.” Chiquita, AKA the United Fruit Company, has been abusing Latin American nations for the entire time it has existed.
If it’s “use my name a likeness, maybe my voice work,” I’m not mad, it’s people paying to do stuff the devs would need to pay someone else to do instead. If it’s “I have some ideas how this story should go” I’d be a bit more concerned.
If you’re referring to dollars given/promised to “charity,” a huge amount of that is done in a way that protects assets from taxes but primarily benefits the donor or the donor’s offspring.
Example: Warren Buffet has billions he has pledged to charity. However, when he dies it goes into a private charitable trust that conveniently employs his children and pays them millions a year for “administration” duties. The trust can donate stocks to charities, and there is a tax exemption for the “value” of the donation, reducing the tax burden of the trust further. Billionaire charity in the USA is a nearly-complete fiction which is actually more in line with the behavior discussed in this article.
What’s your bachelors in?
Very cool that the Minneapolis PD I’d just outsourcing forensics to <checks notes> discount retailer Target?
What’s next, the state of Arkansas outsourcing public education to Walmart?
Did he actually defend that subreddit or is it more of a general “this happened and he didn’t do anything about it until he had no choice?”
Even better if you could build your own room in Roblox and arrange furniture until you figured out what pieces you wanted and where to put them.
Or, you know, a school. You know, where there are children? Maybe children who have physical limitations who have been called gimps?
Oh well, who cares about the educational environment and getting kids exposed to FOSS options instead of commercial software?
I 100% agree. I think it’s also good to remember that when people defend the death penalty, they’re thinking about people like this, or John Wayne Gacy, and not the thousands of people who are convicted with way more questionable evidence.
I’m a death penalty opponent but cases like this remind me why a lot of people aren’t.
Pretty much everyone who’s discussed it agrees The Godfather (film) blows the Puzo novel it adapted away.
Runner up is Adaptation, an adaptation of the novel The Orchid Thief that expands its scope significantly.
I think there are different valid perspectives on what the terms mean, and the server side vs AJAX split pretty tightly correlates to the rise of social media as we currently understand it because the technology enables that use of the internet.
Dammit, can we see criticism from someone who isn’t a monster and doesn’t refer to antisemitic tropes in their criticism?
I’ve known people who were vegetarian/vegan for a while and then ate meat and got sick from it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
If you think you dislike Von Trier you should still check out The Five Obstructions. It’s fantastic and unlike any of his other work.
Dave Chapelle had a whole bit about this before he decided to double (and triple, and quadruple) down on transphobia. He makes the very salient point that these things are delicious.
