They’re banking on their service still being better. In the short term they assume their particular selection of content will provide some inertia to your decision to move, and long term they expect all of the other options are going to do the same thing. Eventually, you’ll only be able to stream with commercials, and they’ll be back to the balance of their content being the only deciding factor.
It’s not Insane, it’s just wrong. People who can’t afford bail can generally get a bail bond, which will front the cost in exchange for the defendant paying about 10% IIRC. The thinking is that people who aren’t considered a flight risk, and aren’t a risk to the community, shouldn’t be imprisoned until there’s a guilty verdict, and putting money on the line that they lose if they don’t show up to court will encourage them to show up.
On the surface, it’s not an insane thought. It’s just… wrong. It just doesn’t really work. In practice it really does just disproportionately punish those who are already suffering, while also making it possible for the wealthy to further escape any consequences.
My opinion is only that I’m not going to get attached, guy’s probably not going to be here long. That’s all.
Killing dogs is apparently really popular with those people. Has me wondering if the “Haitians are eating dogs” lie was actually a confession.
I really wanna know what the thought is behind the notion that they can just submit the right paperwork and simply not have to pay anything for a new car. How can they possibly think that’s how this works?
That’s fine though, SovCits don’t learn anything either. They catch snippets that can be summarized as “one weird trick” and then ask for and don’t receive further information.
The idea that they might be wrong about that being a thing just never even crosses their mind.
Turns out the rest of the world doesn’t stop just because some fucked up shit is happening.
“Escort back to China” sure is a weird way of saying they kidnapped her.
I thought kickers usually avoided the kind of brain damage that would explain what could only be described as a blatant attempt to get canceled.
Now someone tells them “No, that’s not how that works at all, you will definitely still need to pay taxes no matter what form you file, and the people who say otherwise are wrong.”
They will not listen, of course, the only answers that will enter their head are the ones they want to hear, that they are correct and are one little bit of paperwork away from never paying taxes again.
No, I’m sorry, that’s not the conclusion the industry paid for, now your kneecaps are forfeit.
The fact that that article is itself behind a paywall is some weapons grade irony that The Onion wishes it thought of.
Yes he would still run. He tries to give the impression that he’s a big winner that wins bigly, who never loses because losing is for losers. He can’t allow himself to end on a loss, his brand image basically demands that he keeps trying and he can’t be satisfied until he wins a second term.
They really seem to think that every business out there has just overlooked whatever secret loophole these SovCit idiots think allows them to just take whatever they want. Apparently a form 1099A is for the transfer of abandoned property, and 1099C is for dismissing debt.
So it looks like this smoothbrain thought that the car rented to them was abandoned by the rental company, and they could also just… sign a paper that makes their own debt go away.
I love how the SovCits also always seem to mention that they’ve never heard back from anyone who successfully pulled off this little stunt, as though that’s no sort of hint that it doesn’t actually work that way.
You know puberty blockers aren’t permanent right? Stop taking them, and then puberty happens. But once you’ve gone through puberty, there’s no undoing that. That’s where the harm is, in forcing someone to undergo changes they know they don’t want.
I can definitely see why you’re on so many blocklists.
While they were already in decline, the trend of Capes an Cloaks really dropped sharply in the 1950’s. With improving technology in the transportation sector and the rising prevalence of jet engines, the risk of getting sucked into an air intake or caught in some piece of machinery was just too great. Punctuated by a series of gruesome incidents , the new rule in fashion was set. No Capes.
Concussion and head injury are a serious problem in Football today, so this tracks.
No, Salvation Army can get fucked. You couldn’t pay me to shop there.
