I'm mostly worried about the tracking and deta selling.

Is the tracking turned off with the pro subscription?

Oh dang that's exactly what just happened to me.

The Actor sexually harassed a LOT of fans.

And so they canned him after it went public.

Honestly I'm not remembering anything in particular Alex did in the later seasons so probably it's not a massive problem.

There's a great "Behind the Bastards" podcast that dives into it.

The episode name is "how the rich ate Christianity".

If you'd prefer to read, they list all their sources in the episode notes.

No, but he can scare off anyone else from making him look bad.

It's expensive and scary to get hit with a lawsuit like this.

Something about this book just blew me away. I couldn't get into the sequels but maybe I'll try again.

Other books by AT are even weirder but somewhat less intense.

Wayfarers series by Becky Chambers.

Such amazing, lovely sci-fi that touches on so many topics.

Last one is based in a really nice intergalactic truck stop. Or like an airport hotel maybe.

And I didn't realise it until my second read-through, but it's basically all about cross-species accessibility/accomodations.

Really beautiful stuff.

"a golfing buddy of someone senior at the newspaper who we didn't want to just call 'area man'"

I think the original was, but the top line is from a reposting of it, making fun of it.

They just decided to not frame it in a way you can tell.

But then this is the shitpost sub, so I guess we shouldn't expect structure or quality lol.

This looks like a "make me an article out of this press release" article. It's noise-news. Clickbait pagefiller crap.

Also for the average size of a garden in the UK (median), it's probably less plastic than a month's worth of groceries wastes.

Just because he has money, doesn't mean he gets to tell you what things are called.

They changed the name of the millennium dome in London to "the 02 Arena".

I'm not letting you pay someone else for me to say your (unrelated) brand's name in private conversation.

If Verizon sponsored the Whitehouse and said "it's called the Verizon Democracy Centre" now, what would you call it?

Really appreciate the transcript. Thank you!

Did you see the little photo icon at the bottom of the post preview?

That will expand the image (so you don't have to open the post).

There's theories about the lead from leaded petrol doing a lot of brain damage before it was taken out.

o the pelican

Tipped jobs have a lower minimum wage than untipped jobs.

If you give the option for customers to tip...

Then it's easier to underpay them (further)

So I guess in that case part of the trick is confusing himself.

If he's not sure what he said, it's tough to rule it as a lie.

I guess it depends on if the nose grows with untrue information, or lies.

Because if it's lies all he needs to do is THINK it's the truth and his nose won't grow.

If his nose grows because the information is not true, then this is one hell of a power. You could get him to theorise on the meaning of life.
