You could tell she had those zingers locked and loaded and was just waiting for the right time to drop each of them.

You could also see her when she decided to chamber the round. Where her stern disapproval face had brief flickers of delight as she decided she was going to use one when she had her next chance to speak.

I think they were surprised at how unhinged he got, and looked impotent with rage.

He's usually surrounded by sycophants that he can bully around and they get linched by his mob if they don't fall in line. Or he just gets up and leaves any interview that challenges his bullshit, and can leave with the last word. His childish tantrums can get reduced to soundbites that make him look like the winner to his followers who are also petty adult children.

But here, Harris was in frame laughing at his meltdowns and clearly easily pushing his buttons where it hurt, and he could do nothing but stomp over the so called moderation to steal airtime, just to look like a petulant child who needed a nap.

Bruh. You just fetishized a 10 year old kid because she's a female Japanese minor.

You need to step away from your weird anime/hentai loop and step into society.

I learned to touch type quickly mostly out of necessity to communicate quickly in online games before voice chat was a thing.

I love MythBusters, but their results are inconvenient to my unfounded opinions

There was even a Mythbuster episode where they confirmed it. IIRC, their test popped reliably after two bagels.

In general, digital privacy invasions have been very successful because of attrition.

Most people don't care, those that do hold out, but then every competitor does the same and you no longer have any real alternatives. Eventually, the hold outs need to replace [car in this case] and the sting of the objectiknable change has faded, and they just move on.

Rinse and repeat.

We lost the fight for meaningful net neutrality, basic digital privacy rights, broadband limits, etc.

They'll win this one too. Eventually. Your phones and IoT with microphones are already doing it.

An airbnb I stayed at stored a gray plastic food tray in the oven. My friend understandably thought it was a cooking sheet. Very sad cookies that night.

And they also got tangled easy, caught on things, and winding them up to put them away was annoying.

In true republican fashion, he didn't care until his own family was hurt by the MAGA cult. Typical.
