The problem is that I don't want to only read news from one source. I also don't want to pay 15 different news subscriptions.

If the same organization that shut down this repo would spend the time and money coming out with a joint account that was reasonably priced, people wouldn't resort to piracy.

But nope. Each paper needs their own subscribers.

Crocodiles? Do not! Swim here!

I believe that there is a project that aims to do just this but I can't remember its name.

Of the stars that could afford to do this, it's Swift. She has security as well as loyal fans, the type of fans that you know Trump wishes he had.

She should fully come out and endorse Harris.

We don't know the technology stack of sharks. They could have figured out the whole RF attenuation in water issue that plagues humans.

I use their exact same language of "by continuing to allow access to the system, you agree to the terms."

I am not a lawyer but the way I see it, there is no downside.

  • if it's accepted by a court, then I win
  • if it's not accepted, then the language itself is now influx, opening the door for me or others to use the ruling to continue to chip away at forced arbitration and I'm no worse off than just accepting their terms

Arbitration, generally, is not a bad idea. It's less formal and usually less expensive when you have a disagreement. It really is designed for, say, two friends who are going into business together and want to keep things friendly while giving each other the ability to seek an external arbitor.

However, it's our late stage capitalism that has made forced arbitration an abomination, with corporations seeking to limit their liability by making it unprofitable for individuals to seek legal remedies against very large corporations. Corporations that have the legal equivalent of nukes verses the average customer who has a peashooter.

I'm at the point whenever I see these clauses to snail mail then my own terms and if they don't react, I assume that my terms were accepted. I've been doing this now for the last few years and have yet to have a company shut off my service or reply back.

This awoke something in me.

The drama between Chevy and essentially the entire show is just.... absolutely nuts.

The guy could have just cashed his checks. But he wanted to feel power this year.

And now he's going to feel Dan Harmon's power as it surges downward, straight down through Chevy, from nostril to rectum, now through the end of time.

That's what's up.

He doesn't want to pay shit.

Trump wants to leverage the presidency to gain influence among other authoritarians. Anyone who has lent him money and thinks he's going to pay them back likely already has a deed to the Brooklyn Bridge.

I'm personally not a fan of any statues. We have a tendency to create hagiographies of people, not realizing until decades later that they are human.

That said, putting up statues of losers of a war just....doesn't fucking make sense. We don't have statues of King George or Osama Bin Laden anywhere. No one is screaming about their heritage.

Kamala, on Battlestar Galactica, having a serious conversation with Commander Adama on whether to tell the fleet about cylons that look human.
