now that i’m single
what does someone single do?
do people automatically flock towards me?
Well….hang out, I guess. Invest more time in yourself, since you don’t have to invest it on anyone else aside from family and friends, of course.
And no, people don’t flock towards you…at least when I last broke up, I was like 3 years alone…well, it all depends on how good-looking you are, I guess.
Dear Apple,
Your ENTIRE organization lacks morals and free market competition basics, and as such, you are not worthy of having the glory that you now posses. While you may have revolutionized the world as we know it with very well crafted marketing campaigns and some good ideas, you are far from being a true innovator in the field of… anything. Just think for one second about the LEAPS in technology that you would have accomplished, should you have invested in R&D a quarter of the money you spend into advertising and marketing. Then, you would have something worth portraying as a technological wonder, something that would likely be untouchable by others. Something truly genuine that you can call your own, and at the end of the day you could look at with pride. What you have right now is a bunch of reinvented wheels, most of which don’t do much more than other wheels out there.Redefining concepts and ideas is not what makes a company great; coming up with new concepts is. HTC and other major OEMS have often been in the vanguard by innovating with their products, adding new features, rethinking, and just putting concepts out there to imagine their possibilities. Your last innovation and only major contribution to the world of mobile technology was the inclusion of an accelerometer in mobile devices, and this was with the original iPhone back in 2007. For that and only that, I give you credit. All the newer models of virtually every product you sell have been remakes of previous technology—perhaps a little thinner and a little faster, but all in all, minor changes.
It is because of companies like yours that technology is not further today than where it currently is. You are so adamant in protecting something that you didn’t even invent that you are holding back future innovation. The spirit and basic concepts of engineering are completely missing from your business models. Courtesy of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology:
Engineering is the profession in which a knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences gained by experience, study, and practice is applied with judgement to develop ways to utilize economically, the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind.
Notice the importance of the concept that you are no longer following. Engineering practices are used for the betterment of mankind. What have you done for this purpose? Rebrand an existing technology (MP3 players) and sell them for twice the price? Trying to cripple your competitors by claiming that you invented something that was previously invented, when you simply adapted the technology and closed off any other use of this by others? This can be compared to using a Linux kernel (if it weren’t under GPL license), patenting it, and closing it off so that no one else can use it.
Apple, you are simply a disgrace to the world of technology and to engineering in general. I feel ashamed of being called an engineer in a world where your company roams around freely without even following the most basic of the field’s concepts—a world where the law and justice are blind to the fact that your actions are hindering humanity’s advancement. While I understand that there is nothing wrong with making money, there is something very wrong with replacing engineering with greed.

Jeremy Renner singing New York State Of Mind on Jimmy Fallon.
I was NOT expecting THAT voice out of THAT man.
Good
dang
Well, if his acting career ever takes its toll…we know at least he can sing.
No. You had sex with a girl when you were a child. It ended in pregnancy. You are attacking the morality of a 14 year old girl who terminated a pregnancy that would have resulted in a child that neither you or her had the capacity to care for. A girl that preserved your and her own youth, and stopped a child being raised in circumstances that are not fit for any child. You really should be assessing your own morality. What kind of 14 year old boy fucks a 14 year old girl, without protection, gets her pregnant and then runs an online smear campaign against her for doing what was best for her, her family and you? What? You think you had the capacity to raise a child at age 14/15? How would you feed it or look after it? You wouldn’t. You were going to dump it on her or your own parents, live like the carefree little shit you are and occasionally play with the child when you could be bothered and think “Wow, what a good, brave young father I am.” You made the mistake, she went through the trauma of saving your youth for you. You owe her so much better than this. You absolutely disgust me. Less than forward-slash three, you’re real fucking remorseful. That’s poetry that is. You’re breaking my heart kid. That girl should have every right to decide what she wants to do to her body. The idea that you should take responsibility and give birth implies that you are responsible to this fetus and you owe it something. A pregnant person does not owe a fetus anything any more than they owe you an apology for being alive. Try again, pro lifers. Pro-Choice.
I applaud this.
^ YESS.
This is some sterling commentary.
This dumbass is also probably assuming the fetus was male. The sex is almost never known when an abortion takes place because it is early on into the pregnancy.
Remember kids, murdering humans in their earliest stage of life is okay if you wouldn’t be able to take care of it because there’s absolutely no other options ever.
I’m so happy that you douchebags think it’s such a terrible thing that someone is upset that their child’s life was taken and there was nothing they could do to stop it.
“murdering humans in their earliest stage” hahaAHAhahAHAHAHhaAHAHAHAH AAHAHAhaH WOOOW
supposing this sex was consensual, the girl also knewwhat she was doing when she had unprotected sex. there are pills, and there are condoms, and there is also this lovely little word called “no.” both parties are at blame, male and female. they both knew what came of having unprotected sex.
i love how people conveniently forget the choice of adoption. giving the baby to two loving partners that are more than stable to handle a child, but for some reason cannot naturally concept. They would be more than willing to accept a baby from a teenage couple that could not.
just to let it be known, i am for abortion in cases of rape. but to be used as an after thought when both parties are aware of what will occur with unprotected consensual sex, that is despicable. at the moment of conception, that zygote creates a specific set of DNA that will never change throughout all stages of pregnancy, and later, life. and to deny the right of life to that specific set of DNA, to that fetus, to that human because both parties forgot about the condom, or forgot to take a pill is disgusting. to take the potential of life away because of the boy/girl ‘s careless mistakes is grotesque. this girl wasn’t only doing what she wanted with her body. she was doing what she wanted with the other life inside of her. taking that life’s rights away.
i am in no way advocating what this boy did. it is not right to slander a girl you once cared about in some way on the internet. honestly, super douchebag move. what happens between you and the girl stays between you and the girl.
but for inday-en-en to blame the girl being pregnant entirely on this boy is wrong. to say that she can do what she wants with her body is a fallacy, because she is affecting another person as well.
try again, pro choicers. Pro-life.
but not all kids who need to be adopted are actually adopted.
some get thrown into foster homes where they live out their 18 yrs getting abused and emotionally scarred.
it is her body, she’s the one who has to carry it for 9 months then squeeze it out a pretty tiny hole. should she be forced to do that?
