Why do people suddenly have a problem with this sort of thing? Art has always used exaggerations and tropes to convey things to the viewer more effectively than being realistic would. Lasers don’t actually make solid beams of light in the air, evil people don’t generally have red eyes or maniacal laughs, and female skeletons don’t really have eyelashes and bows. Hell, most women don’t even wear bows anymore.

I never said it was a good one! I doubt they’d bother if it didn’t make it easier for them to start charging you. Plus, card providers often have virtual card services nowadays anyway, so it probably doesn’t work very well.

I believe the theory is that without unique payment information being provided each time, one could simply sign up for a new free trial every time the previous one expired.

Is it valid science if you re-test the one that had the link to see if it was a fluke?

Malware’s definition:

Malicious computer software that interferes with normal computer functions or sends personal data about the user to unauthorized parties over the Internet.

Any forced update that increases data collection without consent or intentionally breaks previous functionality being pushed out to millions of people should result in multi-decade prison sentences for cybercrimes.

Oh, so mobile-only.

How did you do that?

We need to make it illegal to force people to use a chatbot. It’s just a way to create the most frustrating experience possible without even having to pay an Indian call center. It’s the new version of being put on hold for an hour and then getting transferred and put on hold for another hour, someone you can barely understand picking up the phone, and then hanging up on you after you explain what you want and making you call again.

I hate that YouTube Music keeps trying to make me waste my bandwidth on videos that have worse audio quality than when it just plays the song. 0/10 smoothbrain design, probably just to sell more video ads.

What were the multiple awful visits for?

My point was that using the Sun, Earth, or really any object as a reference is arbitrary and the “same position” at two different points in time is completely undefined.

Actually 🤓, position and velocity are relative, so that’s a nonsensical statement without defining a reference object for the Earth’s position. If we’re not assuming you end up safely on dry land, you could just as easily end up light-years away as wherever you were relative to the sun.

I don’t see how it could be scumbag. Fear of sharks != fear of people in very obvious and unrealistic shark costumes. People who are afraid of ghosts don’t have panic attacks from seeing people in ghost costumes on Halloween.

This comment deserves its own meme.

Not banned. I think it’s great that when you copy posts from .ml, you mention the author now.

How would a general strike change anything? The oligarchs know they can wait normal people out. Even if half the population went on strike for a week, the only result would be the people who organized the strike getting “disappeared” so that the dip in profits doesn’t happen again. We lost, full stop. Peaceful means will not end Trump’s tyranny.

And after 200 years of matriarchy, people would be saying that women are evil and we should have a patriarchy. Whoever holds the power always ends up oppressing whoever doesn’t.

I’d love to live in a society where no particular gender held most positions of power or had more legislative influence.

Housing is more complex and the proposed solution may not work, but there are some problems that could be solved by someone with absolute power pretty easily. For example, if we shipped health insurance CEOs off to El Salvadorian labor camps instead of innocent immigrants, people would stop having their claims denied and the concept of a deductible would go the way of the dodo.

Why do we have to pretend the constitution matters when our enemies don’t?
