Very concerning.

This is funny, and really speaks to a fundamental issue we have during education as to assigning agency for what amount to"random" events.

True and a, great example of an unnecessary comma.

God willing, Google can have six new apps out this year that each do a piece of what they had accomplished circa 2014.

I know a girl who thinks of ghosts. She'll make you breakfast; she'll make you toast. But she don't use butter. And she don't use cheese. She don't use jelly, or any of these.

She uses Vaseline.

Vaseline.

Vaseline.

What's so sad is that those corporations are just pumping out waste and pollution for the fun of it, and not because they are providing goods and services that are very important for us to continue living the way we are comfortable living.
