Agreed, this is such bullshit.
Forced arbitration is in my opinion already a bullshit thing, but saying that the TOS of your streaming service applies to your resorts, parks and restaurants is something so dystopian that I can't believe this even could have been stated seriously.
The consequences of the result of this lawsuit are going to be fucking ridiculous.
I fucking hate the "you're just one man, what can you do? Stop complaining" crap. It's as if this is how we have always lived, as if no big changes were ever made.
Did you forget your countries own past? Pretty sure most of them had a revolution, a protest or some other kind of push for change at a point in time.
There was a time where women were nothing more than mothers, cooks and maids. They pushed for that to change and now they are equal to men. We changed our world before, can we please not give up on that now?
More than ever do single people have a voice, never before you could get in touch with so many people at once over so much distance. You would think that pushing for change, organising protests and gatherings would be easier than ever, and yet we are told "what can you do?" by the very people who see a problem.
Yea that's bloody ridiculous, especially since that guy signed up for that in 2019. Dude agreed to a TOS half a decade ago and now can't even try to get compensation for the loss of his wife. How is this in any way acceptable?
That women had an EpiPen, imagine yourself having an allergy, making sure to inform the staff at a restaurant multiple times that you have an allergy, bringing an EpiPen with you just in case, and then as you struggle to breathe you use the EpiPen and yet it doesn't help.
This has to be so terrifying, to struggle to breathe when you know you did everything you could to prevent this.
Those lawyers probably earn more in a month than the man could ever get from this lawsuit.
And remember! The high price tag attached to Concord had no influence on it's success! People will gladly pay for stuff that is offered for free elsewhere!
I really hope you're right
Shit like concord somehow gets released, and yet stuff like Project Dragon gets scrapped even though it was weeks from announcement and 3 months from alpha release (if I remember correctly)
Reading the part of this article about London being paralysed by tube workers I could only think about the Crowdstrike shutting down millions of systems and yet, life went on as if it didn't even happen unless you were yourself affected
Yep, here's a video about it and an example of an egg being fried on it.
Glass is a pretty poor thermal conductor so it takes a bit more heat from your stove to make the frying pan hot, but at the same time it means that whatever you're frying isn't getting as hot as quickly so it's less likely to burn or cook unevenly, and you can shut down the stove earlier than with a traditional pan and still have it fry something.
Like most things in life, it's a trade off and what you think of it depends on what you're going and how you want it to be done
Lack of consequences is so often forgotten.
Let me rant here a bit because I really am sick of how all of this can work.
Let's look at the newest example from gaming, our beloved Concord. Sony sunk a fuck ton of cash for a game that has absolutely nothing new in the first person hero shooter genre, this game did nothing new, costed 40$ while most of the competition is free to play and while most hero shooters play fast with dynamic movement or are slower more tactics based, concord did neither, it was slow and as far as I know it didn't have that much team tactics.
Concord shouldn't have left the idea phase, whatsoever writing it down on paper with concept art since there was nothing there to put down on paper.
And yet it was made, costed (according to Wikipedia) $400 million and made maybe one milion USD (before the mass refund).
Did someone uptop that actually decided to make this crap get fired? No, of course not. Sony only shut down the developer studio behind the game. People lost jobs in a highly competitive job market because thier employers were absolutely braindead, these people weren't the designers of this game, they didn't greenlight a empty shell of an idea, they just coded what they were told to. While the higher-ups suffer no consequences, hell, the 400 Million won't be even a dent it Sony's yearly profit of 34 Billion.
