I guess I’m not surprised enshittification of physical objects is becoming more of a trend than an oddity, but it’s still happening sooner than I expected. :/
I lost some, I won some.

You could almost call it… a mouse trap
(I’ll show myself out…)
War crimes “in honor of Shabbat”? I hope any remaining diaspora members of conscience who haven’t already been troubled by all this are hearing about this framing. Both horrific in its malevolence and a misrepresentation of Judaism all in one go!
Do payday lenders (like Money Mart or whatever) not charge fees unless someone is late on a payment? I honestly don’t know how they work. I was under the impression that similarly, the only way Klarna and the others made money was by late payment fees since whenever they come up in a checkout it always says there are no fees (which I take to mean if payments are on time).
Usually for a poll like this, they would make invitations to targeted respondents and provide them with secure anonymous access when they agree.
This post specifically says you can’t (without the bypass many won’t understand how to do).
Regnier still works from home one to two days a week, and has been even more lenient with Santander’s 19,000 UK staff, with office-based workers only expected to be onsite two days a week.
“I don’t think it’s absolutely vital that people spend all five days a week in the office as they did pre-Covid,” Regnier says from his sixth-floor office near Euston station in London. “And, actually, had it not been for Covid, I wouldn’t have accepted this job, because I wouldn’t have wanted to be away from home five days a week in London. That wouldn’t have been good for the family or for me.”
This has helped Regnier, who is paid £3.3m to run the UK’s fifth-largest bank, gain a reputation as an “approachable” boss, according to a former colleague
Nobody should be paid that much but he’s an outlier for the industry in allowing hybrid work at least.
Carlin was good at what he did but he absolutely did punch down, just not at a specific person. The overarching message for a lot of his comedy was “You know you’re all being screwed over and maybe you have a hard time doing anything about it, but you deserve it because you’re stupid.” It’s just such a popular sentiment to call everyone else in society stupid, while excluding oneself, that I guess few people notice those undertones and their implications.
How about when they inevitably share user data with advertisers (assuming that isn’t the plan from the start)?
Yes NSO, keep on claiming you’re innocent until proven guilty of targeting journalists… because every single person you want to dox/harass is automatically guilty of being a “terrorist” and none are innocent citizens. The burden of proof goes on the accused unless they’re you, apparently.
I’m curious if it’s not just because they can count on judge/jury bias in their favour but because of warped legal expectations like this being more than fantasy that they want the trials in Israel so badly.
On top of making sure everyone is housed, healthy, and fed, nuclear fusion energy instead of nuclear fission would be really, really nice.
You could check Urban Dictionary online, but as I understand it, pop off usually means to say or do something to great effect (such as effectively speaking truth to power). Doesn’t have to only be about speech or putting someone in their place, but it often is.
The appropriate, historically accurate comparison is to student protests against South African apartheid and he knows it. Reportedly, those very protests grew into the strong boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement that ended apartheid in South Africa. This is what he fears and what corporate media is actively trying to prevent.
Only people with no information on either the actual history or current situation are going to fall for this baseless slander. Sadly there are probably still a number of those around.
Yeah that phrasing was especially egregious.
Best I can think of is applying to join a literal commune within the same country.
edit (20 hrs later): I forgot and used old terminology there. I don’t know who’ll see this, but the right term nowadays is “intentional community.”
To make it more attractive to tourists and easier to clean, I’d guess.
I hope the people can sue successfully, since state govt seems stacked towards colonialist endeavours.
Is that the newspaper that got their papers stolen or were raided or something the day they were going to run a story on the local sheriff, or is this a whole other bizarre confrontation between cops and print media?
The “desk” appears to be random limbs of other humans. Also, it looks like her game then is somehow taking place in a kitchen that’s on its side?
They probably mean grammar, since most Google operators do work. If there’s a specific difference in search syntax (other than bangs) though, I’d love to know what I’ve been missing.
Not one that required a subscription to operate, but I’ve heard those are out there too.
