It’s really not free. Piracy is still a bit of a chore. It’s just less of a chore than juggling a dozen streaming services, shitty and inconsistent apps and playing the whole “what major corporation’s subscription service has the rights for this show?” game.

They ought to try sucking less.

It’s not great to breathe in, but neither are chemical pesticides. It doesn’t really get kicked up in the air once it’s applied unless it’s actively disturbed.

If you’re going to use pesticides, they all come with tradeoffs and different situations you can use them.

He didn’t fail. He did what the board asked of him which proved to be more unpopular than they all had expected. So they gave him an obscenely generous severance package and sent him on his merry way.

He’s been rewarded and they’re just trying to position it so it looks like the company leadership gives a shit and won’t try the exact same thing at a later date.

No one is buying the ‘hur dur in the office is more productive’ bs anymore.

It totally is a silent layoff, but I think a large chunk of the older execs still actually believe the office is more productive. There’s also a large chunk executives who have investments in commercial real estate companies who are trying to put off the complete collapse of that market so they can get more of their money out before it all goes to shit.

But it had to be something that the Klingons found very upsetting. If it was opera, they’d just keep rolling with it and having a great time

Apple deliberately makes it appear that way so the competition looks bad.

They don’t really advertise the fact that they’re quietly intercepting all of their customers messages to other customers and routing them through a proprietary network.

And if you dare leave, messages from your old iPhone friends mysteriously won’t arrive unless you proactively deregister your number from iMessage or it eventually expires out.

Diatomaceous Earth. It’s a powder of microscopic fossils. It’s a good non-toxic pesticide because it doesn’t use poison but works like microscopic razor blades on bugs and mortally wounds them when they walk over it

Let them try. Trump & his fellow republicans already attempted to violently overthrow our democracy once. Surrendering and allowing them their fever dream of a fascist dictator for life (however much time he’s got left) will not improve our situation.

Eh. it’s one thing always talking about Reddit in more general communities, but this is a Reddit community.

And it’s totally a coincidence that his opinions line up perfectly with the people who regularly bribe him.
