Well, they’re welcome to hold out until Walz orders the nat guard to do something about it.

I’d be okay with the assholes getting the foam-round-to-the-face treatment

And when they’re finished, hide the bodies on the wrong side of the fire break.

It doesn’t take a lot of skill to dig a ditch or clear brush, so they can be put to work.

these creeps are rather shockingly concerned about girl’s genitals. Pretty sure none of the republicans are in drag. or trans. Or… uh… whatever.

Somebody should probably do an investigation or something.

That…wasn’t a lesson that needed to be taught. Back then you could buy a family for 50 goats. 20 if she had hit puberty.

The “point” of Job was to tackle the problem of evil. There-presumably- a rash of Bronze Age peeps asking “if god is good and unfaithful, why does bad shit happen to me” that needed addressing.

It does it through a sock-puppet story every bit as cringeworthy as the God’s Not Dead series. (Can you believe they made 5 movies?!), of which the final explanation, when Job demands one, is “who the fuck are you to question me?! You wouldn’t fucking understand, because I’m so fucking great”

Basically, god massively gaslights the shit out of job and, in typical sock puppet fashion licks the jackboot of the guy who killed off his family, his livelyhood and wellbeing.

That’s not what right to cure means.

The “right to cure” provision gives them 30 days to “cure” their infractions (that is, stop being criminals.)

Basically what has to happen is that:

1. they get caught
2. they get warned (The 30 day clock starts here.)
3. they stop being assumes.
4. issue a statement detailing what actions they took to stop being assholes, potential policy changes that were implemented (lol,) and evidence they’re back in compliance.

If they do all that, then there’s zero consequences.

All they have to do is tailor that statement to be hyper specific. “We promise to not work those apps!” Or maybe “we won’t use the Arity SDK!” But spin off. “Lol-not-arity” SDK that does the same thing,

Basically, corporate lawyers are why we can’t have nice things.

Because he doesn’t want to go to jail.

Critically, these apps are not associated with Allstate.

Things like gas price apps, family monitoring apps.

In its complaint, filed in federal court, Texas requested that Allstate be ordered to pay a penalty of $7,500 per violation of the state’s data privacy law and $10,000 per violation of the state’s insurance code, which would likely amount to millions of dollars given the number of consumers allegedly affected.

The lawsuit also asks the court to make Allstate delete all the data it obtained through actions that allegedly violated the privacy law and to make full restitution to customers harmed by the companies’ actions.

Yeah. because deleting the data is going to get it out of the hands of all the people they already sold it too. (including other insurers.)

Also, WTF is with the “Right to Cure”?! Like. Seriously. Companies have already decided the risk of getting caught is acceptable, so now you’ll just, let them get off the hook for free? simply by stopping the illegal action? Sorry. People have been harmed by this. “I won’t do it again” is not enough.

I wonder what he would say about me never having used Facebook. or any of his other “services”?

I kinda hope he gets antibacterial-resistant flesh eating bacteria on his dick and dies. (preferably without infecting women. damned rapists.)

It’s already baked into the cloud software, actually. when you fly into restricted airspace, it should provide a warning. (and previously would require some kind of permit or something. I dunno. DJI’s suck. but that’s a rant for another time.)

virtually any “bind and fly” or “almost ready to fly” bird will do what you need, if you’re willing to pilot it yourself. if you’re not, check out ardupilot (it’s still around. but stay away fromthe ardupilot module/apm controllers, they’re old and unsupported. it’s based on the arduino family of microcontrollers.)

no it’s not. Calvin might have been a huge proponent of it in his particular brand of douchery, but the concept goes as far back as- for example- Job. This is why Job is so confused about why god wrecked his life… he was a good and faithful person. The story of Job tweaked it so that wealth “wasn’t always”… (even if god did give him everything back again for being a good sock puppet.)

The real moral of Job, though, is that god is a raging fucking narcissist. (“you wouldn’t understand. you’re incapable of understanding. only I can understand.”)

the core tenet of Calvinism is rather that salvation is inevitable- it derives from god’s choice, rather than any willful act by humans. The other side of that, is of course, that humanity is irrevocably fucked without that “salvation”, and that only by submission can good things come to you. (again, this is raging narcissism.)

To add to this, if the drone has a camera (most do,)

Then the app gets to see that and presumably, DJI shares the video with the CCP. Because. Chinese company. All that.

that’s so they can say they tried for the H1B visas

it’s not even prosperity gospel- that isn’t about being good. Just that god will make you rich if you make Joel Osteen and his ilk rich.

Funny how that doesn’t work. (and yes… it’s fucking evil.)

“I’m watching you, Wazowski.”

pretty sure the prerequisite was “willing to order warcrimes on US citizens.”

christians in particular like to imagine that god blesses those who are “good” with wealth, and that therefore wealthy people must be “good” because otherwise they wouldn’t be wealthy.

This then gets absorbed into more secular thought with “well they’re successful so they must be skilled”.

Truth is, his daughter-grooming daddy owned an emerald mine in Apartheid South Africa and got his seed-money from that. So he’s neither “good” nor particularly “skilled.”

Because it’s massively over-valued, the board is a bunch of Musky Bro-hoes (also sometimes family…) signing off whatever the fuck Musk says; while it’s being led by a Ketamine-addled Nazis with the emotional development of a child.

Why anyone still holds Tesla, is beyond me.

I have a kitchen full of nonstick pans. They’ve been in use since my grandma’s mom.

Got them from grandma.

Don’t freak out but cast iron was the OG nonstick, right?
