  • He really went off the deep end when Grimes dumped him. I’m not saying he didn’t have issues before, but his compete public persona changed when their relationship ended. When his relationship with Amber Herd ended her did an interview with Rolling Stone where he was crying and talking about how life just isn’t worth doing anything of you aren’t in love. I think he really thought that with Grimes he found his true soulmate. My guess is that once she became a mother she realized that he isn’t someone she wants raising her children and she broke his heart and he’s gone full incel now.

    One day she will be free of him and she’s going to tell her story. I can’t wait to hear it.











  • Hi, I also know my industry, with over a quarter century of experience in Fortune 500 companies. The old motto of IT used to be ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ and then salespeople found out that fear is a great sales tool.

    When proper precautions are taken and a risk analysis is performed there is no reason that old operating systems and software can’t continue to be used in production environments. I’ve seen many more systems taken down from updates gone wrong than from running ‘unsupported’ software. Just because a system is old, doesn’t mean it is vulnerable, often the opposite is true.






  • I like the idea on the surface, but no, I don’t want to be forced to vote for a few reasons:

    • A lack of voter engagement is it’s own outcome of a vote.
    • Freedom of speech means being able to refuse to speak, and voting is one of the most powerful forms of speech most people have.
    • I’m not a fan of the government forcing me to do something I might not believe in.
    • There are many people who don’t want to vote for trump but refuse to vote for Democrat and if forced might hold their nose and vote trump.

    Making election day a Federal holiday and guaranteeing everyone has the option to vote would be more effective and have a better outcome.

    Edit: Several replies are basically saying the same thing: you can turn in an empty ballot. But the exact same thing can be accomplished much easier by staying at home. You can’t force people to go somewhere, or even mail in a ballot… they have a hard enough time getting people to do the census. Also, a candidate such as trump would refuse the results of any election they lost that didn’t have 100% turnout, especially if the margin of loss is less than the percentage that didn’t vote.

    Again, I do like the spirit of the idea, but in order to make it work it would take more effort than it is worth since staying home accomplishes the same thing as a blank ballot.
