Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale
Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus

Except in this case it's a political party instead of a tech company.
That era of Internet history was wild. Between word sex stuff like that and tentacle soup, weird body stuff like goatse and tubgirl, and straight up death like two guys one hammer. It seemed like every third person on the internet was trying to trick you into watching one of those.
"I'm a faithful follower of Brother John Birch and I belong to the Antioch Baptist Church, and I ain't even got a garage, you can call and ask my wife."

The line was spoken by a green toothed hillbilly in a song he wrote. He was making fun of these types and painted them as drunk hicks.
For reference, 15 years later he had a song (the second part to this song, funny enough) that did its best to make fun of half the queer community.
Yep. A lot of these tech companies that have run in the red for years are now being called on to produce a profit and pay the big backers.
Why shouldn't they be allowed cell phones, at least as a privilege? They shouldn't be allowed to harass anyone, but they're people. JPay and other predatory companies put an undue burden on families just trying to talk to their loved ones (who, let's face it, may not be guilty) in the pen. There are even worse companies that pretend to be places where you can send money or put money on a phone card for a loved one but once you get to the fine print it's just a scam. That dries up if you just allow folks the opportunity to talk to their family during their downtime.
But fuck them, I guess. People are in jail to be punished and if they don't have the maximum amount of punishment 24x7 along with their families then we're not really getting our money's worth.
Or maybe he's talking on a butt phone.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
You can't really cook a person's rib primal the same way you'd do beef. People meat is not marbled like beef so you'd want to cook it low and slow with a lot of moisture.
So while you could have a people prime rib sandwich, it's not going to have a great texture.
I can't argue with that because honestly I was jealous of the folks running it. But they are buying new equipment today and I'm not.
I'm chaos grandpa in one and tax evader in a different one.
Same. I have a lot of legacy recording equipment that I won't replace until it stops working and it's all mini USB.
I'm just glad I got what I did instead of FireWire.
I sing karaoke fairly often. I sing the nonsense lyrics and no one seems to notice, especially if I sing 90s rock.
They make fake tattoo sleeves.
