I think it’s funny they’ll probably paint this as him being a bigger target because Chaaaaina wants Harris to win. But we know it’s probably because his people are inept and Harris (and probably DNC, and Dems in general) probably receive more attention and just don’t open malicious emails as often.
Not that DNC isn’t inept… Just uh… Less inept.
Reminds me of my kids slinky she messed up. That building will never be the same after the giant toddler played with it…
Having been sued by copyright vultures, I definitely get the difficulty with court. The minimum just to have a lawyer retainer was 2500. The vultures told us to essentially give them 2400 and the problem would go away (a strongly worded email managed to get them off my back, but mostly because they clearly used bots).
I can see it weed out small cases less than that. I guess it’d help if I knew what people were sueing over.
Oh man, my independent station is wild sometimes. It swaps between a lot of genres, from punk to classical. They played an Earthbound video game cover once, even. My npr station is relatively fine too.
Corpos 100% ruin radio, though, and that’s been true for a long time. Stations often get incentives to pay the same songs and that’s only gotten worse with time. True across all popular genres, too.
Yeah no, that’s just a cranky old guy thought. Just today I was watching fairly average looking people promoting music on late shows. You’re probably getting a very thin slice of pop music and ignoring everything else (and hell, even pop breaks that rule sometimes).
Plus, physical beauty and music are both subjective. I try to not get all “old man yells at cloud” about how music “used to be better”.
Pleeeease, don’t threaten us with a good time.
Seriously, we don’t need a extra layer of inaction on top of a government already designed to move slowly. That’s the whole point of having three branches of government, you already have to compromise even without the filibuster unless you sweep (and at this point a sweep is well deserved!).
Although I guess I’m ok with the talking version. It’d be fun to watch those old assholes suffer an all nighter speaking non stop. Wouldn’t ever pull it off.
Seems like a good thing?
I was wondering if it was related to anything passed recently, because another service had to change privacy rules to opt in over a rule change in Cali. I just assume if it sounds like a good thing for consumers, it probably wasn’t their choice, lol, but I guess in this case it’s just a cost cutting measure.
I at least appreciate them being pretty clear about what’s different now.
I found out today a moron I went to grad school with published a successful book. He’s also an “important” person’s son, though, so it’s less of a jealous thing more of the “this world’s fucked” thing.
My PhD isn’t super useful though so yeah, throw it in the remorse file.
I had to update my LG recently and it had to get approval for all sorts of weird shit. Oddly enough, it let me continue using just about everything even after I denied all the very invasive checkboxes. I guess even they can’t deny use of your own tv if you reject the agreement lol
I needed a reference picture to give remote tech support to my octogenarian grandma. Circles were my addition.
First mayor to be criminally charged, so far. NY sure knows how to pick em.
I haven’t noticed, but I did hear you can root WebOS TVs which include LGs. I may look into it if it gets intrusive. The front page is already showing ads, after all, although not nearly as awful as my fire stick was before.
It’s been a while since I learned the history, but if I remecmber right the first schools in the US were religious in nature. But public schooling was generally a huge equalizer, and made the most advances along with workers rights movements, etc.
That said, there’s plenty to be upset about class-wise, just not the class size thing. It’s true that rich families have always done what they could do to get their kids ahead, generally with private school and tutoring. They have a much higher odds of getting into the better colleges, and the more elite schools tend to lead to higher pay after graduation. They’re also doing everything they can to gut public education, which is the whole point of the push for vouchers (which was especially big during the Trump administration).
There’s a thousand more reasons to be pissed off at the rich regarding education, but if I wanted to get into every single one I’d still be in academia (My PhD in Ed was all about that). Actually, now that I think of it, take a look at Learning to Labour by Willis, as I think it reflects your train of thought.
The breast cancer part is interesting because it’s a similar problem. Men aren’t usually targeted by early detection campaigns, and are less likely to seek help so they are more likely to die from it.
Your guesswork is doing a bit too much there. Rich schools also have flat classrooms for smaller groups, e.g 30ish.
The reasons for stadium seating is for size, and that’s true for most schools including community colleges (and even vocational schools). Usually it’s used for classes everyone has to take, like a pre-req. High schools aren’t standardized in the same way, so you generally wouldn’t have a class of 80. High schoolers need more one on one anyway, and teachers require less specialized knowledge, so the numbers just work better that way.
Yes, this is the simple and correct answer. Yikes everyone else, you try seating 300 people in a research 1 university classroom.
Statisticay they are less likely to rape someone, including statutory rape, but it’s always stupid to deal in absolutes. Same is true of mass shootings, domestic violence, etc., it can happen but it’s less likely.
That said, it’s important to believe rape victims, including those who were raped by women. It’s not just the media in that regard, though, and especially when men are the victim-- it’s especially hard for them to speak out. How many viewers who hear of 16 year old boy being raped by their female teacher and go “nice”? It’s certainly a double standard.
I feel like this version of Boomhauer just speaks with a thick, almost incomprehensible Scottish accent.
I heard about this, although the positive news is it’s mostly people who weren’t in the market for an EV to begin with so it doesn’t really impact EV sales or anything. Still hate to see disinformation win, though.
I’m a bit sad to hear Congress is more or less outlawing Chinese cars here, though. Affordable EVs are far and few between and it really feels like the national security rational they’re giving thinly hides the real reason of preventing competition for US car makers, as if they even planned on making a decent EV.
That was technically my thinking too, haha. If you’re ever targeted by this (and it can be as simple as having a Google image placeholder in an unindexed page) you just need to be stubborn and spiteful. It’s not worth their time with so many other patsies, haha.
