iirc bedwetting is there mostly as a correlated indicator and because if you do it so late into your life it's an indication of parental abuse on the child which also contributes to psychopathy.

Maybe it's just my lovely economic status, but I have never in my life met a millennial who could justify a $1000 phone or one who thought replacing their phone regularly was worth the hassle. The closest is my unreachably successful ex-girlfriend buying a $400 phone when her cheap and being uncomfortable about it.
My phone cost $180, on Black Friday, like four years ago. I do not have the money to replace it if it breaks.

I also don't know anyone my age who collects records, but my Mom and uncles all do and I used to know some people in college who probably do now.

Uh.... 50$ a month is not really that much money considering how much I use my phone at work, car and home.

Im a millennial teacher and I can afford my 10s max just fine.

Maybe if you work minimum wage still but aren’t most millennials like 30?

If you've heard of the sirens then why the gently caress were you asking about hostages

Weirdly aggro there, champ.

In Homer's story, Odysseus orders his crew to tie him to the mast and then plug their own ears with wax, so that he can hear the sirens' song but be unable to act on it, while the crew can hear neither the song nor Odysseus's cries to be released. He is the captain of the ship, and the helmsman is acting on his orders; the helmsman doesn't get to decide where to go.

In Garrison's cartoon, Trump is clearly in charge of the ship; he's not taking orders from the person tied to the mast, he's giving them. So one of two things is happening in Garrison's interpretation:

1) Trump has always been in charge of the ship, and he's just being a dick and tying people up so they can't exercise their agency.
2) Trump has seized control from the ship's rightful owners and has restrained the original captain because he doesn't like the way the ship was sailing.

Either way, Garrison has very badly bungled the Odysseus metaphor, and his Trump is restraining someone against their will.

quote:

Aleksej Gubarev is a Russian technology entrepreneur who runs companies in Europe and the United States that provide cut-rate internet service. But he is best known for his appearance in 2016 in a dossier that purported to detail Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election — and the Trump campaign’s complicity.

Mr. Gubarev’s companies, the dossier claimed, used “botnets and porn traffic to transmit viruses, plant bugs, steal data and conduct ‘altering operations’ against the Democratic Party leadership.”

On Thursday, new evidence emerged that indicated that internet service providers owned by Mr. Gubarev appear to have been used to do just that: A report by a former F.B.I. cyberexpert unsealed in a federal court in Miami found evidence that suggests Russian agents used networks operated by Mr. Gubarev to start their hacking operation during the 2016 presidential campaign.

His networks also appear to have been regularly used by cybercriminals and Russian agents to conduct other attacks, such as an assault on Ukraine’s power grid in 2015, the report found.

Yet the report stops short of directly linking Mr. Gubarev or his executives to the hacking, as asserted in the dossier. As Anthony Ferrante, the report’s lead author and a former F.B.I. agent, noted in a deposition: “I have no evidence of them actually sitting behind a keyboard.”

Mr. Gubarev has insisted that neither he nor his businesses knowingly took part in the Russian hacking. He backed up his denials by filing a defamation lawsuit against BuzzFeed, the first news organization to publish the dossier, which became public in January 2017. The report unsealed Thursday was commissioned by BuzzFeed to fend off Mr. Gubarev’s suit, which was dismissed in December when the court found BuzzFeed’s decision to publish protected under the law.
