8/10/12 hour days at work with people you only maybe like, but perhaps hate. 16/14/12 hours a day for sleeping, eating, cooking, cleaning, etc to take care of yourself, and maybe interact with people you like and enjoy being around in a social context, an attempt to remain informed while trying to avoid AI slop, misinformation, trolls, and media intent on rage baiting you, and making you feel inferior so it can sell you something.

Seriously, what the actual fuck.

Universities started pushing AI as a learning tool. They pay for subscription AI services for enrolled students. So I’m not sure this isn’t them doing this to themselves.

Pepper spray doesn’t have to be accurate and it’s more immediate than a tranquilizer (which could also be dangerous because the same amount of traquilizer used on a grown adult could kill a kid).

That being said this is “let’s try anything except addressing mental health, bullying, and gun control”.

You’ve mistaken this for a working democracy with proper consumer protections and actionable laws.

But yeah. Thats how it’s supposed to work.

Common enough in Seattle (but that may just be biased by how noticeable they are due to the incongruity of the shape).

What’s that? OTA software update couldn’t fix that?!

My understanding is that LG broke the TOS and Microsoft asked them to stop instead of penalizing them under the agreement they broke. They wouldn’t do this for the average consumer and so the average consumer should jump ship to something else.

And users have the choice to not fund his ability to do so in the future by finding a different place to spend their money.

Vote with your wallet is something not everyone believes in anymore, but at the same time, this doesn’t really have anything to do with the company’s values. It’s a simple equation. Giving the company money means this guy receives money. So people want to stop giving him money by proxy.

Yeah. No. There’s still the requirement to provide a SSN and other identifying information in order to get Medicaid. Specifically documents that confirm residency and citizenship

But even if what you say is true (and that still doesn’t mean they are legally eligible for Medicaid), that still doesn’t explain why ICE would need that information. Because specifically, because there’s a whole apparatus (used to be before toddler in chief got reelected) who’s whole purpose was to audit this system. This is why Medicaid can come after your assets if you use it when you have other means.

So why is ICE, an agency who’s purpose is not to investigate citizens, gaining any access to a database of people who are citizens. This is as much a “Need to Know” thing as it is a “make it make sense” thing.

It’s like gaining access to the fingerprints of service members for the purposes of making sure they’re citizens. The federal government already investigated and continues to investigate their status as legally residing in the country and that data base is for identifying service members who have died so their remains can be returned.

Why would they need it? You can’t get Medicaid as an illegal immigrant.
