More likely: it goes to debt collectors, and debt collectors being the scum of the earth they are will try to trick her family into taking on the debt.

Might be. It is definitely a thing, though.

When I used to work for a large American corporation that sold products to consumers, they took it extremely seriously and breaking it would result in disciplinary action. It probably had something to do with advertisement laws, but it also easily could have just been because it makes the company look very bad.

one place even asked people to write fake reviews on Trustpilot/job sites

That sounds unethical, to say the least. Did they verify if you actually did it, or just “suggest” you do?

Corporations drill it deep into your head that you do not positively promote your own products or negatively review competitor products without both making it clear that you (1) work for $Corp; and (2) are sharing your own, personal opinion.

Giving the benefit of the doubt to Plex, they suck at training employees about social media policies.

Invented? No, a gift from the cosmos.

“No there isn’t. Evidence is fake, unless it agrees with my narrative” /s

I’m totally sure it was an accident. I’m sure we’ve all made the mistake of opening Шет_Рцссу.mp4.exe after receiving it as an email attachment from Elmo. /s

Joke aside, that’s some pretty impressive incompetence. Not once. Not twice. Multiple times. The guy ran infostealer malware multiple times over the course of multiple years.

Amazing. We really have been conditioned to check off every god damned box without reading them just to get past sign up screens, haven’t we?

Crucify? Oh, no, no, no.

They would have him arrested and detained by plain-clothes ICE agents, held in a Texas concentration camp where he would be bundled with the “illegals,” then shipped off to El Salvador to be starved and worked to death… Twice.

In her case, that’s even worse.

Does it literally say, “Yes, please send me spam”?

That’s not fair. Starlink is more than just a private enterprise—it’s a Russian intelligence gathering mechanism.

Buddy, quit while you’re ahead not too far behind. You’re just proving what @Tattorack@lemmy.world said: you don’t understand the difference between patents, copyright, and trademarks.

Another great post as usual!

For people interested in what’s been going on with Limited Run, here’s a 90-minute video that goes into a lot of detail about the sketchy stuff they did before this latest controversy:

This is so WRONG! We NEED tiny hands to fit into dangerous machinery. The president is too busy doing more IMPORTANT work.

Missionary
Shooter
1 of Hearts
34 felonies

That checks out.

A real shame the article omits the part about GameStop (the former parent company) being led by an absolute piece of shit.

Them actually selling it, and to Canadian business no less, is a blessing for y’all.

You’re making a very big leap in assuming I don’t condemn the Democrats and their attempt to convince voters everything is fine.

They’re a party led by geriatric, upper-class rulers. No shit, their doubling down on “the economy is fine” didn’t work—they don’t understand or care to understand what the people want. All they care about is what their corporate donors pay them to care about.

The failings of the Democrat Party don’t absolve rural conservatives and undereducated voters of their part in this, though. The literal definition of economy is the wealth and resources of a country as a whole. The economy was doing fine because we had our lovely billionaires and mega corporations consolidating all the wealth and skewing that number while the average person was under growing financial pressure.

The problem was—and still is—the wealth disparity. We have multimillionaires and billionaires absorbing more and more money from the 99% while paying a pittance back towards helping the people they’re screwing. They get to dodge taxes by reinvesting their profits into assets they own, hoard resources, and act with impunity.

A voter base that took the time to understand what they were asking for would have seen straight through Trump’s sensationalist bullshit, not barreled straight into it. It should have been obvious that he wasn’t going to fix wealth disparity. He associates himself with the billionaires, he sees himself as one of them, and he wants to keep it that way. He doesn’t give a single shit about wealth disparity, let alone ever acknowledge it as the problem. Instead, he won his campaign on vague promises about a word that means something completely different to every Tom, Dick, and Harry that cast their ballot for him.

If you grew up in the south, yes.

The economy wasn’t “doing fine” for more than half the population.

People who think like that are the reason Trump got elected.

the economy ≠ standard of living

The problem was purchasing power, wages, and inflation. People’s standard of living was suffering, but the “economy” wasn’t. Conflating the two is why Trump’s stupid rhetoric resonated so much with the uneducated Magats that voted him in: they thought he was promising to fix their standard of living, while the reality was that he was promising to “fix” something that wasn’t broken.

That dumpster even has urban art! “fascist scumbag”
