Hendrix. Hendrix is the fosbury of music. Dude went off in his own direction in both technical and compositional terms, and a lot of people followed.

There's solid points in the comments, but I feel like we're talking about a single individual ignoring convention here, and there's really only one answer in that context :)

Attachment to either party is waning among younger voters. A plurality (41%) of them call themselves independents.

I swear this is a generational thing. Silent Gen were rebellious bastards, boomers were not, gen x are rebellious bastards, millennials are not, gen z going with being rebellious bastards totally checks out .

My old gen x ass is 100% with you my little dudes/dudettes... Gotta fight for your right to party ;)

Sums up my experience with reddit, except I brought my own app originally and everything was cozy for years, then one day, this…

The Ministry of Finance estimates the tax could generate about $43 million a year in tax revenue.

What could go wrong you ask? It's right there... $43m a year... That doesn't get deducted from the profits of the speculators, it comes out of the equity in the homes that get sold. The flippers aren't gonna eat the tax, they're going to add it to the cost of the homes they flip.

The law isn't going to mitigate flipping much, it's going to add $43m/year to the amount home prices increase by, and when people see the neighbors house values go up, they'll demand more for their non-flip sales as well.

The Victorian Fisheries Authority states the money for the program comes from the Recreational Fishing Licence Trust Fund, which is raised through fishing license fees.

Kinda makes it an investment of sorts...

In case Apple’s advice doesn’t work, it’s safe to say that you probably need help from professional repair experts and may even need to prepare yourself to buy a new iPhone.

Creeping Speedwell? Kinda looks like it to me.

I'm reasonably certain that once enough governments jump on the "we need to control the internets" bandwagon, there will be a region specific convention adopted similar to country codes for phone numbers so that they can, in fact, apply customs to it...

I suspect it won't be in the name of righteousness though, more likely it'll be taxes, copyright, etc, on internet sales that trigger it.

options include the establishment of a digital ID system or services that can estimate an individual's age based on a visual scan of their face.

Oh yeah... I'm sure that won't cause any unintended issues at all...

Being black isn't a disqualifier if you can access resources...

How much discrimination do you think obviously wealthy black people face? A much as a poor black person?

It's not a matter of skin color in reality, that shit's nothing more than some extra melanin. The difference is the perception that black people are poor... People see a young black guy in a high end Audi and assume he's a drug dealer, because they have this societally developed perception that a person of his melanin content is incapable of acquiring that kind of money legitimately. The discrimination is centric to the resources, always has been. There are white people who get just as discriminated against as any other poor person, it's a huge factor in why Trump's stupid ass has the following he does... He plays that shit up and nobody else will touch it with a ten foot pole...
