Sympathy? No. But no parades either, because most bad actions are still bad, even if that particular victim deserved it.

I’ve always wondered why group boarding takes such a long time…

Like how the banks can “offer” you personal loans with 15%+ interest, even with a perfect credit score. Or like 7% for a mortgage.

Their profits are larger than ever, but it’s socialism or something if we were to expect them to have an emergency fund or something.

And in all your index funds, retirement funds, etc.

Despite his unhygienic lifestyle, he lived to the age of 94. He died a few months after bathing for the first time in 60 years, having been persuaded by the inhabitants of the village to do so.

Damn, maybe he should have kept following his instinct.

pptx only came in late 2006/early 2007.

You lose the right to class action lawsuits

I love when I get a coupon in the mail and lose my right to sue the company, whereas the offending company pays basically some small fine and the lawyers go home with a huge payday.

But I agree, forced arbitration sucks, I’m glad that it’s unenforceable here (other than in B2B agreements)

It’s common for cheaper hotels, at least in the US. They don’t call it a deposit, but an extra hold they place on your card when checking in. Probably to deter people from doing dumb stuff like smoking in a smoke-free room.

I don’t know a word of Norwegian

Now you do. So if you see any Norwegian or Swede, remember to tell them “I know runk”.

And/or a distraction. “The prices are high because they’re choosing to increase it, it has nothing to do with my war”

Stinks of LLM, but I agree, let’s hope they hold their word.

I’ve driven a poorly designed car without many safety features for years, and I’ve never flown through the windshield, ever.

No wonder so many are moving from Telegram to Max

Huh? People aren’t moving from Telegram to MAKS because of objectionable content, they’re doing it because of Gazprom-Media/Kremlin’s aggressive tactics.

MAKS from the start only really exists because the Kremlin wanted even more oversight over their users, despite already having a sizable amount via Telegram network metadata at the least (and they most likely have even larger access, but that’s hard to confirm)

MAKS is required to be installed on all phones sold in Russia, businesses must accept its digital ID, it’s used as an exclusive payment method, only VK is allowed when the government does their frequent lockdown of mobile internet (to hinder drone communication), so you can’t even use any other chat apps, etc. And then you’re eventually stuck like that, because people you want to communicate with are too careless or can’t even use a different service… And then you will be cut away from society more and more every day.

It’s the techbro wet dream to get that much control.

You don’t consider the GRU/Africa Corps to be neo-colonialism at the least?

What is there to review? There’s an entire team with VAR who already decided that dismissal was proportional to the misconduct. That’s how it works.

And if you haven’t already realized it, FIFA only cares about money, so of course they did this, so the event is more “exciting” for the advertisers. It’s pure corruption.

And if we’re still both 32 bits dating, instead of getting married into 64 bits, we’ll have some problems in January 2038…

Not surprised, he’s the kind of guy who blows his paycheck on several automatic boxes of fireworks and lights them all at once. “It’s going to be huge!” but you can’t see much and it’s over after a couple of minutes.

Huh, the article implies that the FBI still owns it… or am I misunderstanding?

While the cabin itself now sits in the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., Barnes’s photos are housed in the collections of major museums throughout the country, including the Museum of Modern Art, SFMOMA, and the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Why does the FBI still have it sitting in an office somewhere? Does the US government usually just save everything related to cases, even long after the subject is dead?
