I can't seem to find any more information about what alleged crimes were in the illegally-leaked Dominion documents. Was there anything interesting at all? Or was this just noise?
If you see a lot of ads promoting any political point of view, you can usually assume that someone with entirely too much money is in favor of it, and you probably shouldn't be.
I bought a 65" HiSense last month. I was psyched the first time I set it up, and it gave me the option to configure it as a dumb TV without the Android TV experience or a network connection.
Theres definitely a setting for turning off content recognition... but... even if I say "no", I don't trust my dogs not to eat food I leave within reach.
These companies want the data, they profit from the data, they probably won't get caught if they take the data, and even if they do they won't get punished, and even if they do it'll still be worth it. You have to turn off the network or block the traffic to be sure.
People I'd like to see lose elections are doing things that are deeply unpopular with everyone. It's definitely not good at all, but maybe it will lead to good as people realize they are about to reap what they sowed.
Incomprehensible misspelled rant including the word "cuck"? Nailed it. If I could understand what you were saying, I'd definitely agree with it immediately.
Oh yay... a low-speed rail from... Pueblo to Fort Collins.
That will literally never happen. As much as I'd love to use it the one time a year I need to make a trip like that, the ROI would be so far in the negative, even I'd vote against it... and I'm a train aficionado and a fan of government-funded rail.
I just want the train from Denver to Boulder that was promised back in the early 2000s. We voted for it, we funded it, and it... never happened. Now the money is gone. Nobody knows why.
So please do it. Start there. Then go up to Fort Collins so my son can get to college, then finish the southern route.
My wife bought a new Pixel 8 recently from Google Fi. They sent a Pixel 6a for some reason. She attempted to work with their incompetent, powerless, disconnected and foreign support for a week to get something to happen, desperately reaching out every day for someone to just tell her what was happening. Then, she just purchased a new one because you can't go longer than that without a phone.
Then it was 2 more weeks of them failing to issue a refund for the original wrong phone, trying to ship another phone that she no longer needed, and simultaneously trying to bill her a penalty for not yet activating the phone that was originally shipped.
All it would take is one person who had information, authority, and a modicum of understanding. Nope. That is not a thing that can be achieved through any level of escalation at Google anymore.
Nokia had the same problem recently during a recent issue. They have intentionally made it impossible to solve issues. This is what some companies want. Don't buy from them.
"Prosecutors said Philip Sean Grillo, who is running for the seat previously held by George Santos, had videotaped himself during the 2021 attack on the Capitol.
Interesting. I'm curious why he brought 20+ year old video equipment with him. It seems like the article would address that oddity. It's getting tough to find new old stock blank video tapes.
I dunno man, I started gaming with the Atari, C64 and NES, and I never paid full price back then either. Rentals, used games, piracy... that was a good 95%+ of my gaming experience.
The only time I got full price games was maybe a birthday or Christmas, but even that was rare for a major AAA release like Mario 3 or E.T.
Maybe your memory is just one person's experience and not an absolute truth.
23andMe just sent out an email trying to trick customers into accepting a TOS change that will prevent you from suing them after they literally lost your genome ro thieves....
I'm not sure if lawyers think their words are magic sometimes, or if they'd just really like them to be magic.
I live in a state that prohibits most non-competes from employers, and any effort to try to get employees to sign overly restrictive agreements can actually result in a fine and penalty. My company sent me a legal agreement saying that by signing the doc and continuing to be employed, I agree to waive my state's protections against non-competes. As if... that would hold up in any court, ever.
It's a blatantly illegal clause and I could have fought it at the time... but in the end I knew it was totally unenforceable at worst. I'll go after them for the penalty if they ever try to enforce it, or if I leave under bad circumstances. It was more valuable to me to have this document than it is for them to have it.
Almost every teenage goes through a phase where they think that criticizing things makes you sound smart. I did it. I have a teenager going through it right now.
A Denver Public Schools parent has sued the district over its policy allowing teachers to display Progress Pride flags in their classrooms, saying LGBTQ+ flags “discriminate” against his straight, cisgender, white children....
Are you claiming that straight people are suffering from a lack of representation? Straight people are represented everywhere in every single aspect of every part of all popular culture in every part of the world, and you know that.
What you're describing is not a lack of representation, it's jealousy that someone else is getting attention that you aren't getting. It seems like less of a movement for equality, and more of a childish temper tantrum, you know?
But if you want to start a straight pride group, go for it. It'll definitely do 2 things: 1) Tell everyone around you that you're the kind of person who would start a straight pride group, and 2) Even if it's not your intention, it'll be a LGBT hate group in less than a week, because thats who's most interested in straight pride.
like I went to taco bell and they didn’t even have napkins out. they had the other stuff just no napkins, I assume because some fucking ghoul noticed people liked taking them for their cars so now we just don’t get napkins! so they can save $100 per quarter rather than provide the barest minimum quality of life features.
People need to be willing to suffer small conveniences to send a message to companies, but they aren't. And then they complain that the government should step in, while they constantly elect people who protect business interests and are anti-consumer in the name of "small government."
It's requires at least one or the other... a free market with consumers who drive the demand, or big government. With neither, you end up with constant corporate abuses.
The UC Health Hospital in Aurora, Colorado on Friday finally admitted that a hospital staff member cut the hair of a 65-year-old Lakota elder Arthur Janis, without his or his family’s permission....
This is actually a really good hospital. I imagine someone carlessly cut it for convenience, a stupid thing to do.
I think the protest is because then the hospital, instead of saying "Holy shit, I'm so sorry... this is terrible, what can we do to make up for it?"... they responded with "What hair?", "I think he probably cut it himself" and "No comment". That was compounding stupid mistakes.

Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now - and companies literally just say 'oh bc profit margins' and we're now expected to swallow that and sympathize?
