Plus, you aren’t disconnecting a person, but a whole family or business.
And since many areas in the US only have one provider, you force that family to cancel all streaming services they might have. It’s a lose-lose-lose situation.

It started in earnest under Regan. It’s just been difficult to see where all those changes would lead until all at once it smacked us in the face.

Does each language have "lefty loosey righty tighty"?
This phrase has never made any sense to me. It’s a circle. If one side is moving right, then the opposite side is moving left. So the phrase only makes sense if you specify which side we are talking about, which nobody ever does. Therefore it’s completely illogical to me while everyone else just gets it. Side note: Autism can be a real bitch sometimes.

Some heroes don’t wear capes
Fuck that site.
Within days of Maxwell's complaint, Batman – a career criminal convicted of being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm – was moved to a different cube.
Epstein's madam didn't fare much better with her replacement, however, as the newcomer quickly kicked off about avid jogger Maxwell failing to take showers and stinking out their cramped living quarters with her sweaty sneakers.
Maxwell would come straight off the running track and not wash. It's something you often see with sex offenders, they are worried about being attacked in the shower,' added our source.
Eventually they had a huge argument – this time over a clothes hanger – and it got so heated that the new bunkie threatened to beat Max with a padlock.
Of course, Max complained, and this girl was also removed. Max seems to think she will eventually get a cube all to herself if she keeps stirring up trouble.'
DailyMail.com revealed last month that Maxwell earned her 'prison Karen'moniker because of the 400-plus petty complaints she has lodged while behind bars.
The sex trafficker has slated the lackluster vegan menu options, whined about 'unfair treatment', and demanded that jail authorities give her immediate access to black hair dye.
She even bagged plush hypoallergenic bedding after grumbling to staff that the standard-issue prison pillows were triggering her allergies.
Maxwell's moaning dates back to July 2020 when she was locked up at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York while awaiting federal trial for grooming minors.
Her lawyers accused prison authorities of breaching her rights by shining a flashlight in her cell every 15 minutes, subjecting her to invasive searches and filming her at all hours.
The daughter of disgraced UK newspaper magnate Robert Maxwell was sentenced to two decades behind bars in June last year and the judge in her case recommended she serve her time at FCI Danbury, the Connecticut prison that inspired Orange is the New Black.
But the Bureau of Prisons, which has the final say, instead sent her 1,000 miles south to sun-drenched FCI Tallahassee.
But the prickly prisoner continued to rack up the complaints, taking advantage of her job in the jail law library to file BP-9 'administrative remedy' forms at a rate of more than two a week.
Oxford-educated Maxwell has been at the center of countless controversies and bust-ups while locked up and even managed to use the prison's video visit system to give a headline-grabbing TV interview.
In January she told UK broadcaster Jeremy Kyle, without presenting any evidence, that the now-notorious photograph of Prince Andrew with Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre was a fake.
DailyMail.com revealed how the chat earned Maxwell 48 hours in the Special Housing Unit – a 'prison within a prison' comprising tiny, grim cells where inmates are caged for 23 hours at a time and fed through slits in the door.
In March it was the turn of two Cuban inmates who were both thrown into solitary confinement for 47 days after Maxwell reported them to authorities for trying to extort her.
The two bullies found out their strict vegan neighbor had an 'arrangement' with a kitchen worker who would slip her extra fruit, vegetables, and tofu and thought they could use the info against her.
They penned Maxwell a threatening letter demanding $360 worth of items from her commissary allowance but the Briton turned it straight over to prison authorities – breaching the strict mantra against snitching.
Maxwell was living in fear of a beatdown when the pair got out but one of the Cubans has since been transferred to a half-way house in Laredo, Texas and the other was moved to a different housing unit.
Maxwell – federal prisoner 02879-509 – has a release date inset forJuly 2037 when she will be 75. She could gt out earlier if she can successfully appeal her convictions for helping ex-lover Epstein, who hanged himself behind bars in 2019 instead of facing trial.
Federal prosecutors argued this week in a fresh court filing that Maxwell's conviction for grooming girls as young as 14 should stand and denied claims she was being used as a proxy to satisfy public outrage over Epstein's crimes.

Right, and Palantir will immediately copy that data. So effectively there's no difference.

US supreme court rules Virginia can continue removing voters from rolls
Reply in thread
When Kris Kobach was able to go through Kansas voter rolls and remove “foreign sounding” names with no real consequences, I knew it would start a trend. Here we are.
Given this ruling I wonder what other voter registration purges we will see this week.
I’m tired.

New conspiracy theory: Tylenol actually does cause autism. But China figured out that autism is the key to a better society and they are pushing RFK to ban it so that we remain self-destructive neurotypicals.

New data shows No Kings was one of the largest days of protest in US history
Reply in thread
I humbly disagree. Protests can have a massive economic impact if they reach critical mass. Acts of violence also need a critical mass, but convincing people to protest is far easier than convincing them to commit acts of violence.
Don’t go to work, block all traffic, don’t pay taxes, stop spending, attack all opposition. With enough participation, we can crash the economy in a single day and regain control within a week. Getting people to do what is necessary en masse is the hard part. Things will have to get worse before we get there.

If AI replaces workers, should it also pay taxes?
Reply in thread
Unless, of course, that income is in the form of increased stock value, and the owner never creates a taxable event. We will continue to be taxed on increasingly diminishing wages while wealth accumulates in the hands of those who pay no taxes.
I don’t think it’s foolish to suggest taxing the owners of these machines as way securing economic stability. Although it would be foolish to think it will happen without a real revolution.

Clockwise and counter-clockwise makes sense.
But when you say “right” it’s not clear which side of the circle is being referenced. If the top of the circle is moving to the right, the bottom is moving left at the same time. So the saying only makes sense when you specify that you’re talking about the top of the circle.

Gavin Newsom says California will move forward with map redrawing plan in response to Texas effort
Newsom, joined by congressional Democrats and legislative leaders, unveiled a plan, known as the election rigging response act, that would override California’s independent redistricting commission and draw new congressional lines
I don’t fault what they’re doing here; war is war. But just look at how easily the democratic process can be stripped away. Just a flick of the pen and it’s gone. No real safeguards. Not a single shot fired.
