The degree in which corporations engage in psychological warfare against customers is astounding. Not surprising, just outrageous. Don't want notifications on? We're going to ask you to turn on notifications in the the program every single day until you do it. Don't want to watch ads because our infinite greed has destroyed what used to be a good platform with a reasonable number of ads before we bought it? Then we'll make the experience less pleasant until you comply. They already make multiple parts of YouTube disagree with ad blockers on purpose to break the sites features. Not that I use anything other than NewPipe and Piped anymore anyway. I'm just sick of shitty corporations acting like we're children who can be punished.

What else will corporations pay Congress to decide that is in corporations' best interest for us to not see?

I'm sorry I don't have any answer, but I just wanted to say I'm sorry you have to go through this to make your life easier. Also I fucking hate unrestrained capitalism.

I'm happy to say that after a whole bunch of people showed up at the school board meeting to speak on Max's behalf the school board fully reinstated the original play and it's actors including Max and issued a formal apology. Special thanks to Grayson Pride for leading the effort. https://www.kxii.com/2023/11/14/sherman-isd-board-trustees-votes-reinstate-original-cast-version-oklahoma/

As someone who struggles with mental illness, but has been lucky enough to not need intervention or hospitalization in my life so far, this seems like another good time to say ACAB.

Great job protecting him from hurting himself by killing him. Murderers literally brought a gun to a knife fight. ACAB

Where's all the pro-life people and their wallets now?

ACAB

I remember how much better things were when nobody knew who this jerk was.

Too bad Telegram isn't as ready to fight Nazi propaganda on their service, but they would have to start with the white supremacist symbolism their own blog was slipping into release posts.

Reddit: "We don't suck enough, but how can we make our site and business practices more despicable?". Spez: "I've got it"

describing calls for a new election as “wholly inappropriate.”

You know what's wholly inappropriate? Genocide.

After growing up in Oklahoma I won't be shocked if they don't vote him out. Although the OKC area is one of two more liberal areas in Oklahoma so that might work against him. In the small town I grew up in our library had a closed door Confederate and KKK museum until the 90's. African Americans weren't allowed in town after dark until nearly the 80's.

tHe MaRkEt WiLl ReGuLaTe ItSelF! Okay sure, for the most profit without regard for the consumer. Corporations need a heavy hand.

I've been having weak thoughts about ice cream. Thank you for saving my diet.

I can't wait to get harassed by rednecks who will not have to answer to their redneck cop buddies when they step out of line.

It's a 157kb executable and your mom is gonna be pissed.

Could do without the artifact theft from cultures as well, but he got this one thing right for sure.

Says the guys that reduced piracy to a fraction of its former self before getting too greedy. Piracy wasn't affecting them, but it's a side effect of what they have become.

I used to play bridge builder too! If this were Facebook that would make me an expert. Sadly.

I understand. I use a cane due to severe inflammatory arthritis and a long list of other crap including a deteriorating spine that's likely to land me in a chair myself in a few years. Trying to build my own ramp into my house a little at a time on good days because it's several thousand dollars to have one built and eventually I won't be able to do it at all. Solidarity in hating it here. I'm in Texas in the US which, well it's run by regressive masochistic asshats.

As a disabled person I find I am not intentionally tripped anywhere near enough. I beseech Congress to act now before I become complacent in my verticality.

*Looks at the 4 busted ass appliances, that were built to fall, I bought brand new 3 years ago that are barely clinging onto life. * Consumer protection huh? What a concept.

I know they're an army in this metaphor but I still want to hug them.

Don't forget us disabled people who get fucked by the same cuts to already ridiculously underfunded programs that vary in helpfulness depending on which state you ended up stuck in.

Awe yes, all the people living in slums with laptops. I mean I'm not saying it isn't possible, but feels a bit out of touch by a douche who's trying to give child labor a silver lining.

Yet they'll argue they aren't racists while attacking everything not white.

Imagine being that one downvoter in the sub so brainwashed you think this is a good thing. Believing you're persecuted as a Xtian and fighting some delusional battle for people's "souls".

Same and I was already homeless thanks to the W era and clawed my way back to mostly stable. It's a traumatic experience I don't want to repeat.

I mean to be fair they did invent fascism so this law isn't a stretch.

A good reminder cops are murderers AND bullies.

Say it if it makes you feel better, but it doesn't make it true👎

With the guarantee of high cost you also have a lot of doctors who don't care about the patient, only their insurance card. Not saying all, but lots. At least in my 14 years of chronic illness.

Finally a place I trust less with my finances than Redneck Bank

We were lucky enough to buy in 2019 before everything got out of sight in our area. We used a FHA loan which required a 3% down payment and I got a first time homebuyer grant that covered all of that which allowed us to pay closing and moving costs since we were leaving in a hurry due to the small podunk town we lived in for 12 years stopping extra trash haul off and allowing trash burning in town instead. Almost every day my house was full of smoke. I had to choose between my home or my health. We were outbid on about a dozen houses by landlords. With the loan type we got stuck with a PMI, but even with that and extortionate Texas home insurance rates we still pay half of the renters in the house next to us. Although we'll never be able to afford moving now and if we had waited any longer we would have been stuck in the corrupt small town EPA violation. We paid 96k for a brick 3/1 and five years later it's shot up to 240k in value. I feel bad for the people that can't get one now because I fear it's more going to get any better when half the country cares more about voting for the people they believe hate the same people they do.

People around me don't understand why I spent 4 hours learning which UHD drive to buy and how to flash it to take back MY media.

I'm too tired for sex, but I have cookies.

If you're on Android I use NewPipe. Pretty reliable. It's in FDroid and I'm pretty sure Github.

Not too mention that if a self-expanding tax funded account for education did exist Congress would dip into it to pay for endless wars just like they do Social Security. Then they'll squak every year that it doesn't work and that is running out of money. Just like Social Security.

The student is transgender. From my understanding he was assigned female at birth.
