I like the cuteness of this, but it's incredibly low contrast. Can barely tell if there's text.

That kind of is the purpose of corporations. They're given special fictional person status because they're thought to be a net benefit for society. If they weren't, it wouldn't make sense to give them these privileges.

I knew it was going to be that when I saw the headline.

Tell that to the guy who charged $4k of jewelry on my credit card. I've never been robbed of a penny of cash and now I'm having to sue my bank to get that money back.

I went to sign up for Netflix a couple times and had this problem. They wouldn't take my money. I live in NYC. Go figure. But they did me a favor as I would have wasted time and money.

You could learn Esperanto. They have a service where you can couch surf basically anywhere if you can speak with your host in Esperanto. Some countries like Japan have a lot of coverage.

can't get on the trains at Penn without assistance as I'm visually impaired and can't engage in the "see sign, bum rush train" system they've come up with. I don't have this issue literally anywhere else,

20 years, more or less a monopoly in the space (GoG is a pretty decent service but only a marginal rival), and they still can't fix their accessibility issues, even as more games for the visually impaired, etc. are coming out. The Stea

Well, they're fiddling around with the RSS, so you may get a surprise in a couple months.

... Maybe go back and read a couple things. You don't even characterize the original charge correctly, let alone the updated situation.

Yeah, we practically lived there.

They tend to be low status outsiders, and historically witchcraft has been associated with older people and women.

When I was a child, my (many) siblings and cousins played in rat-infested hay bales. None of us have allergies. Coincidence? Seriously, though, I do think that sterile environments have something to do with it.

If the people running the monopoly want to lobby the government on their own time, uncompensated, that certainly sounds fine. It's lobbying on behalf of the monopoly that is an issue.

Will normal users really do that? I feel like a normal user's computer could be on fire and as long as it booted they'd continue on as usual.

Sure, most of everything is bad. But there were good ones, a lot of them. Especially in the late 80s and 90s.

Right. Twitter was such a money spinner before.

They're just bad now. You never get bored in Die Hard or a Jackie Chan flick.

It's obviously an unsubstantiated statement, but given all the concrete information on the MOs of alphabet agencies, it seems like a reasonable bet. If they haven't done one of those things, they probably just haven't gotten

I think you're not understanding. Direct IQ tests for employment are illegal in the US.

I saw a Javan Rhinos the other day. He seemed to be doing pretty good.

Aren't you kind of overstating this? Perhaps for countries like India, which have seen massive increases in real wages and a corresponding rise out of poverty. In the US, the generation after the Greatest Gen (targeted here) was the Bo

They have planned mixers to remediate a known lack. Obviously the occasional gathering isn't going to replicate the experience of a coed college where you're interacting closely with people every day.

You figure people were just bad writers back then? If anything, I'd say they were better writers, though probably only marginally. Read a couple scientific papers from 1945 and you'll more than likely actually enjoy yourself, for

Probably some Scandanavian country, which has class structures but not as starkly as the US.

You're getting it wrong, it's that people who get in, but don't go, have similar outcomes. That suggests that a lot of the value of the signal is in the inital filter, which seems like what you're saying.

Dude, I have an uncle killing himself with booze living 100 feet away from me. These things have costs. But trying to make decisions for people doesn't work out, and taking away one of the few things that helps people connect in person
