Health is imaginary, life is imaginary, this is all imaginary. There’s no point in drawing an arbitrary line in the sand for what our purpose is or lecturing us on what we should be focusing on.
We have seen, again and again, business encroach on our quality of life and it does warrant skepticism and alertness about their motivations.
Some of the perks were great even for prime if you're already bought into the Apple ecosystem. 3% cash back plus 0% APR installment on Apple product purchases is a nice double dip that most cards can't touch unless you're really trying hard.
If you don't want to mess with points, its a great card. You still need another card for travel since it doesn't have rental car insurance, travel insurance, etc. Its missing all the features that normally come with Visa Infinite or Mastercard World Elite cards.
Surely there’s some wiggle room in between “I just do not like businesses” and “businesses that are convicted of causing some amount of damage to society should not exist”
At some point, recovery needs to take a back seat to deterrence.
Oh, sure everyone's against the cannibalism of orphans now from the comfort of their arm chair. But just wait until this implausible thing happens, that occurs to a small fraction of people ever. Then you'll all see.
Until the government decides someone you love needs to get disappeared, and then you want to provide no aid to them.
This technology swings both ways and as such is too dangerous to exist. We have plenty of other means to instantly and broadly raise awareness about abductions.
> So why is the city listening to hysterical idiots who assumed that ICE was accessing systems they weren't?
What have you heard or seen that gives you that impression?
According to the article “University of Washington researchers released a report Oct. 21 showing federal immigration agencies like ICE and Border Patrol had accessed the data of at least 18 Washington cities, often without their police departments’ knowing”
It seems plausible that the local government came to realize that unauthorized use of Flock data was happening elsewhere in the state and decided to act. These sort of privacy intrusions start off with the veneer of best intentions but when abuse is uncovered, people tend to get real.
I don't think anyone is going to expect you to listen to anything they have to say when you characterize people who you only just read about second hand as 'hysterical idiots'. It demonstrates that you are not interested in any other point of view.
Core memories for me were my pc builds for the Athlon Thunderbird and later the Athlon 64 FX-60. What an experience it was to fire those machines up and feel the absolutely gigantic performance improvements.
If the distinction is that the US watercraft are military and as such are not subject to customs, then making it clear that returning astronauts are not on a military mission sends a diplomatic signal.
Per the policy directive of https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/prot... citizenship has been taken away from anyone born from parents of targeted classes as of Jan 20, 2025 with a 30-day order for all executive departments and agencies to enact the policy.
What you say and what the link says are completely different things. Nice emotional manipulation on your end referring to illegal immigrants as "targeted classes". Maybe don't break the law and immigrate legally.
I welcome you to point out the discrepancies if I am mistaken.
Targeted classes is a common term in the context of regulations where certain bodies receive a change in protections or restrictions. This executive order is trying to overrule a law with a policy so it felt appropriate. No manipulation was intended by using a technical term.
In yet another parallel universe, in-app advertising doesn't exist and paid purchases have a flat-fee commission commensurate with the cost of providing that service.
That advice sounds to me like it’s more for “an entire world where all people are in a bad situation from which they will never escape and neither will their next of kin” but if that comes to pass, the lighthearted talk of embracing the misery will probably end around the time the starvation begins.
