Pebbles 1969. But it wasn’t the first: Frosted Flakes 1951, Sugar Smacks 1953, Captain Crunch 1963, Lucky Charms 1964.

Frozen TV dinners began in the 1950’s. People ate that shit for dinner. Margarine was more popular than butter.

A variety of fresh food wasn’t available to regular Americans until the 1980’s. Everything was canned or at best frozen.

Why is Asuka Mexican?

The 1950’s to 1970’s were not known for whole food. It was the era of Fruity Pebbles for breakfast, a Tastee cake with lunch, and a dinner made with Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup and other canned goods.

Context.

“Neurotypicals never learn masking, because they have never had to.”

Kinda bullshit.

Millennial China and Hummels. I’m all for it!

The utility was already aware the data center would be using the water

So that means I can ask for an electric hookup, and then tap a second hookup without telling the electric company and it’s not illegal. If I get caught, no arrest, no fine, just pay back what I used before getting caught.

What makes it particularly suspicious is that they used more water than they agreed to. So we have a situation where they didn’t tell the water utility about one hookup AND used more than they agreed to. I wonder why they didn’t mention the extra hookup?

The reason this is possible is because the media is completely controlled by billionaires. They have the ability to make slightest legal infraction by Democrats A BIG BREAKING SCANDAL for months. So Democrats must be perfect and republicans can do anything without the public being aware.

“One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company’s account and therefore wasn’t being billed,” Politico reported. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/05/data-center-used-30-million-gallons-of-water-without-initially-paying/

Your linked article references the account that was known but not billed. Ars Technica references both that account and a second account that wasn’t known and wasn’t billed.

Even the first account was illegal in that water usage exceeded the original water limits agreement.

Deleting Trump from history is not enough. In 20 years he will be brought back as a forgotten hero.

What needs to be done is to change everything to “Trump is a pedophile.”

“Trump is a pedophile” needs to be on all park passes, passports, and large banners hung on federal buildings.

The Gulf of Mexico needs to be, “Gulf of Rapist Trump.”

It doesn’t need an update, it needs enforcement. The law is about copyright holders losing rights at time of sale, not the specific media that the copyrighted material exists on.

The EU enforced their first sale doctrine on Valve.

IMDB started as an open wikipedia type website where everyone contributed content about movies and actors.

As soon as volunteers had added enough content that it was really useful, the IMDB creators locked out the contributors and sold it.

The physical media is whatever is playing the content. The law doesn’t specify the media.

1909, one year after the Supreme Court ruling: “Your honor, I know that the Supreme Court ruled that publishers can’t add a shrink wrap license that prohibits cheap resale of copyrighted work but you see, I delivered the content on llamas where it was printed onto scrolls at the customer’s home so the law doesn’t apply. You wrote the laws thinking about trains and ships transporting books and I use neither.”

Rage Bait: they did it “illegally.”

but weren’t billed because they didn’t inform the local utility of one water hookup,

^^ That’s the illegal part.

When a consumer hooks up a utility without informing the utility, that is “theft of services” and they are arrested.

Then I’m really confused by your first reply:

" Lemvotes.org. No hiding it here. "

Bots seem to be just as hidden on Lemmy as reddit.

maybe more to the publishers not allowing that

It’s not up to publishers. Publishers tried to put a disclaimer on books preventing cheap resale. The Supreme Court struck it down and it was written into law over 100 years ago.
