I'm not gay but definitely a sinner. In God's viewpoint, we're all sinners so all we can do is repent and pray for forgiveness.

Yep. Thought Morris could rally the troops but this team finds ways to lose. Been pretty much the MO of the Falcons minus the 2018 Season.
ETA: And to be honest, we found a spectacular way to end/lose that season.

Doesn't Disney also own like 60-70% of FuboTV now too? It's almost a brilliant strategy by Disney.
Grab YTTV by the balls and request more $ -OR- everyone flocks to Hulu with Live TV or FuboTV, which in turn gives them even more money.
frick them for doing that strategy to the consumer BUT it's pretty genius during peak NFL season and CFB Season and even the start of CBB Season.

I just always assume NYC and NJ are in lock step with each other. I'm not surprised.

I guess I say this next statement as I DON'T live in NYC or anywhere near it, so it won't impact me. However, I want Mamdani to win and:
-rich people leave NYC
-he taxes the shite outta everyone there, defunds the police, etc.
We all get to watch a "democratic socialist" have his policies prove, in real time, how bad they are for Americans. It'll be a historical lesson, in real time.

Haha that's fair. I used to laugh at the original AirPods but somehow the airpod pro's don't bother me. Fair enough point though.
Guess my whole point (maybe I phrased it poorly?) is that Google, with the Pixel lineup of phones, watches and headphones seems to be going to same route as apple.
Samsung has pretty much done the same a while back too with phones, watches and headphones as well.
Anyhow, I like different functionality points and features of both platforms.

While he definitely appears to be a piece of shite human, I highly doubt the credibility of his claims.
Those #s seem a bit inflated to me, kinda like the # of "virgins" those asshats get when they go to their make believe heaven.

That's "copying" Apple? WTF
Oof, reading comprehension my guy. I was stating that Google and their entire Pixel lineup starting with phones, now pixel watches and now pixel buds is, yes, copying apple's strategy and "walled garden".

Having bluetooth earbuds is "copying" airpods? All I know is the pixel buds are vastly superior to airpods.
I have both and nope. Not even close.
I now know you're beyond biased because literally every YouTube tech reviewer and even sound engineer's have given praise to Apple AirPods Pro 2s (dunno about the 3s).
I like some google products but stop being an anti-apple sheep.

Eh I dunno, give Google time and I don't see it being any different. Their biggest issue is no one really in the Android world really wants to go down the pixel watch / pixel buds route.
Anyhow, I kinda like Gemini as an AI app / LLM, however, I don't really trust google. Not sure how much I'd trust it with the Apple guardrails but *maybe* it'll be the best of both worlds? Dunno.
Apple seems like they lost ALL of their AI/siri talent over the last decade so they have no innovators/developers left for this effort. Hence the forfeit.

Also, this is a dumb idea. Do folks realize it's not just Civilians in the Gov't being impacted? Real life Active, Reserves and Officers for all branches of the DoD are "sort of" being paid and definitely will NOT be getting paid shortly.
Not to mention TSA, ATC's etc. Just on the civilian side, it's gonna be a cluster and a half during Thanksgiving season and folks trying to travel.
If that's truly what you want, don't bitch when all flights are delayed, if not outright canceled. Keep that same energy if it impacts you/your family.

I just asked co-workers what streaming service they use for live tv. Out of a group of about 8, I was the only idiot that does pay.
I may just cancel YTTV and just antenna this biotch up.
This shite started at 35$ a month. It's now 90$ in a span of about 6 years or so. I think I'm done.

You’d think black folks would get tired of just labeling everyone “racist”.
15 years of this trend almost seems comical at this point.
