Did you seriously post a link to a one-sentence "article?" I honestly hope it has something to do with my view on mobile and not just karma farming.

She is such a piece of shit. Everytime I hear about her she's screwing over the little guy. She's supposed to be a Dem.

There are fewer risks being taken, studios take what they know and refuse to learn something new.

I used to LOVE Kdrama. Watched it exclusively for more than 10 years, mostly because it was so different than anything I could see in western media. Then it took off and Netflix got involved in production, and now it's just the same crap just with an all-Asian cast. Kdrama is a prime example of what you're talking about. They had a great opportunity to figure out why it was popular and learn from it. But they just can't.

Don't get me wrong, it was always "bad" in lots of ways, but often in ways that were easy to overlook. Because underneath the cheap production values, repetitive tropes, and outlandish framing devices, there were engaging stories about people relating to each other. (Especially around toxic masculinity. Western TV has refused to touch that since Luke raped Laura and they fell in love and got married. I wonder if we'd have as much problem with incels if we could have more realistic portrayals of what men and women put up with from each other just to get through the day. --But I digress.) They had a story arc with a definite end. Now it's all just serial-killer murder mysteries and Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman set in Joseon.

Well, that's better. But none of these that I've had to drive through have light-controlled merges. They haven't had the barriers, either, but still more driving lanes than toll-booth lanes.

HIPAA actually has a lot more to do with protecting healthcare companies' "right" and ability to collect and sell our information to other companies than it does with limiting the sharing of our information. Really, it only protects our information from random strangers (i.e. nurses showing your face in their TikTok videos) and family.

requiring children and teens to obtain parental consent to use social media apps.

Minors cannot legally enter contracts. So if they expect minors to adhere to their terms of use, they had better get parental consent.

That forensic composite was actually pretty accurate. I've always wondered how close they can really get.

Lol.

Off topic, but could someone ELIF why the lanes are all strictly partitioned right up until just before the booths, where they open into a free-for-all, with fewer booth lanes than there were partitioned lanes? How does this not lead to road rage, fist fights, and accidents, causing even more delays?

You're being trolled, dude.

All you have to do is look at that thumbnail image to know the source is propagandist trash.

Or just block you.

They might be appropriate if they were funny.

"Nasal gazing" says everything anyone needs to know.

If I wanted a comment section full of jokes, I wouldn't have left Reddit.

Against Carceral Feminism: Relying on state violence to curb domestic violence only ends up harming the most marginalized women.

It's great that we've finally reached a point where the news is telling us the things everyone always knew, instead of burying or spinning them. But maybe now they could move on to telling us things before we've all seen it with our own two eyes?

No shit.

Fund your libraries, and use them. Librarians (the ones with Masters degrees) are trained to teach you that. Contact the State organizations that oversee that certification to make sure it doesn't go away in the name of lowering salary costs (i.e., your taxes).

Jesus, fucking everything.
