Of course it's JPMorgan, why wouldn't it be JPMorgan?

I think that's just wanting to join a gay primitivist(?) commune.

I, uh, don't suppose you got room for a bi-curious peep?

I'm not hopeful that the repeal amendment survives the Senate, but we shall see.

So it's more like "minimum required dependency versions"?

sometimes there's a piece of clothing that just makes you feel better by virtue of wearing it

I think it's because people expect that when they opt to buy a game on a physical cartridge, they expect the game to be on the cartridge. With compromises, maybe, but fully on-cartridge.

It's more likely than you think.

Usually I'm willing to share more when I can tell a customer is engaging with me earnestly, and believe me when I say that I do strongly appreciate it. Feels like a pressure release, especially on busier days or when I'm on my own at the counter.

I'm gonna just go on a brief tirade here—

It's probably just me, but I despise "how are you doing?" as a greeting.

To put this in context, I work in a customer-facing position, handling returns at a counter. When people come up to me and ask "how are you doing?", 95% of the time they don't actually care. And it bothers me in particular because I instinctively want to answer the question honestly, but a) that would result in me going into a non-trivial emotional ramble because of the... everything going on in the world right now, and b) being that open with a stranger is weird.

It's why I've settled into using "fine, relatively" whenever I'm asked that question in a context that demands a terse response. It's as honest as I can be, captures a decent range of emotions, and at the very least can get a rise out of people who aren't expecting the standard "good" or "great" or "alright."

The open-source repository relies on internal APIs at the IRS. It's not really meant to be run by your average John Doe.

That's a valid response in the long term, but in the immediate/near term, it's reasonable to want to restrict a treatment to those it'll help most.
