I'm the weirdo who always reads the privacy policy at the bare minimum. I've opted out of a lot of services/apps/games/sites because of their privacy policy over the years.

Look it is bullshit they can get away with this crap but right now we only have the existing outdated legislation to work with. The absolute explosion of how technology and social media impacts the world has changed RAPIDLY in the last 15 years. It was once quaint that Obama did reddit AMA or posted a tweet.

So my point is yes be mad but ultimately it is out responsibility to be proactive with the tools that we have, and that's privacy policies and ToS. Like you're skipping through the villain's monologe laying out every step of their evil plan then shocked at the consequences.

It doesn't even have to be intentional. So much shit is plastic now so everything breaks faster.

Maybe someday! It's kind of a tough watch for me as it reminds me of a friend who passed away. I am ready to check out a few good standalone episodes though I think, which is progress :)

I currently have a lot of downtime, thank you for this extra context, I'm going to watch this episode later sounds fun :)

This way they get to hate a beautiful woman who would never fuck them

You're not wrong about those other things being major problems! But that doesn't make this shit stupid and gas and groceries hurt people in their daily lives. It can literally mean going without food or can't apply to jobs outside an area etc. Roadblocks.

Healthcare is also an extremely important right we should have that many agree that America is failing to provide. It's just a little higher on the hierarchy of needs and you treat the lower ones like they are non existing or unimportant.

Wait hold up. Did the federal Medicare program not have power to NEGOTIATE prices before?!!!?

accusing the stores of reaping excess profits and ripping off shoppers.

Thanks now can you do this with all the other companies? All.

Now that's a male model

Oh sorry I was being tongue in cheek! I was just making a joke about the "mass exodus" of people leaving California for Texas "because of taxes" or politics... that is the "they". Because it isn't even a self sustainable state, there is no way it could succeed as a country and this isn't even legal or possible in any way- so yeah just having a laugh at the concept. Not the ramifications of generations and shit

You're my favorite Texan in this thread!

California will take Texas refugees, most of them came from there anyway. And everyone can laugh at them, wow the egg on their face!

Not a lot of people hold onto such a niche part of their righteous rebellious college years for so long. I love that, and your bar was so high too!

Dude it's plainly obvious, at least in my lived experience trying to reach 40. The Republicans I know who "became" republican all either

1. Moved up in class (perceived or real)
2. Became religious
3. Legitimately has a mental illness

I am not saying this as a dig, and I am not saying all Republicans etc etc just the people who weren't and then CHANGED THEIR MIND.

What a glorious headline!

It only works if they can maintain cognitive dissonance. Can't brag about reality.

Guess they can't really brag about where they actually focus energy: stonewalling any and all progress and poisoning the public's opinion and trust of "the Other", whatever the target may be.

I really took the not sure why part literally and was scanning the price etc. I can't believe how long it took me to see the bite mark

This at Walmart wasn't it? Lol

I feel like Elon and has this one covered
