Or you could just stop giving this shitty company your money.
You’ll be paying extra for ad-free Prime Video come January Subscribers will have to opt-in to a pricier ad-free plan. https://arstechnica.com/cul...
They really have no self-awareness at all, do they?
If they won this lawsuit, what would stop Twitter from suing them for *the exact same thing*?
Is there a service out there that's pretty much exactly Spotify, but costs more so some of the money actually makes it to the artists?

"During their history, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, she said, all displaced indigenous people. No one is calling these countries illegitimate or demanding they evacuate. “So why is Israel different?”"
Israel is different because israel is the only country currently trying to bomb their indiginous population to smitheriens. North America is at least starting to come to terms with their genocidal history. Israel is trying to complete the #genocide.

I guess Republicans only have room for one psychopathic fascist snake-oil salesman in their party.

1000 richest people are approched. "The end of the world is here. Time to go to your doomsday bunker", they are told. The billionaires nodded. They knew this was coming. They were prepared.
So they gathered their loved ones and locked themselves in luxury bunkers. No contact to outside world.
10 years later they emerge. The world has healed. The air is breathable, people are happy. "What was the catastrophy?" they ask the first person they meet.
She screams: "THEY GOT OUT!!!"

I will not be satisfied until my blood type is havarti.
Trying to decide how much bacon is too much bacon for tomorrow's traditional quiche. If I go over 1:1 on the bacon:eggs ratio, then it officially becomes a meatloaf, right?

Hiring a software engineer in their late 40s:
Pros:
* Understands your stack better than you do after glancing through the repo for five minutes.
* Will rewrite said stack 2x as fast, and half as buggy if you let them.
Cons:
* Gives zero fucks.
* Knows we're not *really* like family here.
* No, seriously, absolutely zero fucks given.
Do not cite the deep magic to me, product manager, I was there when it was written.
Is it just me, or have the pointed sideburns from star trek become a real fashion trend?

It's funny how references to Twitter in movies already feel like references to MySpace in movies.
Like the college tuition thing, he's addressing the symptoms, but not the causes.
Just fucking legalize it.
I will never understand people who drive slow on the highway, with people passing them on both sides, who think "yeah, this is fine."
These unintentional architects of rush hour are clueless about the havoc they wreak, and that baffles me.
