Why Was This 11-Year-Old Brownsville ISD Honor Student Put in Solitary For Three Days?
I'm sorry but that Principal is an absolute cunt. She was targeting that kid, regardless if he did or didn't do anything wrong...

Madison on why she quit
Hindsight is 2020 and all, but I did always feel like something was a bit off with his demeanor (Linus). First I thought it was just his camera voice/personality, but now I'm thinking it's just him turned up (or down) a notch...

As an OG Reddit Sync user of over 10 years, all this arguing really brings a tear to my eye. 🥲
One thing I didn't like from Reddit, the elitism and gatekeeping posts from its users. OP, I'm right there with you.

Too many users abused unlimited Dropbox plans, so they’re getting limits
What they meant to say was "We didn't have the foresight to monetize these heavy users, so we will be doing that now. But first we'll create the problem..."

If not a subscription, at least accounts for everything (have you heard of that coffee mug that requires an account and firmware updates?)
If these damned companies would stop relying on this stupid sub model and just offer decent products at a decent price and not worry about neverending growth, this wouldn't be a fucking problem. God I hate the way shit is going.

Rental property billionaire says buying a home (with a mortgage) is "fancy bullshit" and you should rent instead
LMAO, considering big business is buying up homes literally for this purpose, I'll take what he's saying with a grain of salt.
Does that mean we should over extend on buying a house that's outside of our means? Absolutely not, but at the same time, housing is still way overpriced and since shit is barely regulated, both from a seller and a purchasers standpoint, there's a lot of regular people getting stuck with a lot of shitty options for living situations.

I told everyone that once contracts for cell phones were replaced with payment plans, companies would start gouging their customers with higher phone prices because the customers could now "afford" it.
Greedy ain't the right word imo.

I think there's a bit of misconstruing "let companies do what they want" with "private businesses can run their business how they want but could and should suffer the consequences of their actions".
The main problem here is, who's going to govern the businesses? Who's got the teeth to throw the book at these companies like they're so eager to do at people that break stupid, societal made up laws like "weed is baaaaad. Grrrr"

YouTube is cracking down on consumers’ favorite loophole - Adblockers
These ad block users should be considered the cost of doing business and they should be careful with targeting them.
This kind of thing springs users into action to either find or use work arounds or create a alternative platform.

It's a tactic to pit us against each other rather then the proper people running to the bank.

"~~Don't~~ be evil"
Lol it's like going back in time. I remember the days when sites wouldn't support certain browsers because of differences in programming (accidental, if you will). Now, we've gone full circle and are intentionally blocking use of a site when not using a particular browser. Wouldn't this be considered monopolistic?
