Discussion threats of legal action

I’m sure corporations aren’t going to use this excuse to hike the prices even more, like they did with the energy crisis …

Just have Trump intervene, they’ll drop charges in no time, like with Tater.

Really good or cashing in on nostalgia?

My hopes aren’t high

Does it only block the pop-up or does it deny consent for anything but necessary cookies?

Because that’s quite essential I think

It sounds like it’s a good thing you quit

Bonds Wodka Martini does have 3/4 of gin and only 1/4 of wodka:

The International Bartenders Association (IBA) recipe calls for 45 ml gin, 15 ml vodka, and 7.5 ml Lillet Blanc in place of Kina Lillet

He was on alcohol and Benzedrine (amphetamines):

If that is what you took from the article, your reading comprehension is lacking, ironically.

Covid is only mentioned tangentially, not as a main cause. Telephones are mentioned as more of a cause for student behavior than Covid is.

‘old man telling at clouds’ instead of breaking down the argument of the writer, as you stated you were going to do, you pick out a single subject that is written about and choose to defeat that argument with a personal observation. Which is basically a straw man argument because: In the article the price of textbooks is a very small argument that students use to hide behind. The main argument is that they’re not reading it paying attention at all…

The transactional nature is talked about, as it’s the lowering of standards.

The average student has seen college as basically transactional for as long as I’ve been doing this.

Yet the main problem is not that, it’s the general attitude of the students that have changed. A chronic disconnection between the student and the subject of study. Aan absence that is mental and sometimes even physical. The level of disinterest is new and the professor is frustrated because he doesn’t know how to combat that.

Tbf it is their job to follow the orders of their superiors without questioning them.

The trust factor here is that there superiors pick deserving targets and do their best to keep their soldiers safe.

Now I’m not arguing that innocent people deserve to die, the American govt has been pushing that boundary since 9/11 (some might argue WW2).

However the balance of trust is harmed here and that is pretty important. A military that loses faith in their leadership is a pretty big deal. It should’ve happened way earlier, due to Donald pissing on the graves of veterans, but it is pretty significant.

Afaik subscription opioids cause addiction, leading people to seek more of them from pill mills after their subscription runs out. But pills are expensive, so as money runs out people look for alternatives and fentanyl is the cheapest and most easily smuggled.

Same reason the prohibition lead to American hard liquor culture. If alcohol is prohibited you aren’t going to smuggle beer, as whisky is more abv.

In the best case they’ll just flag it as deleted, yet keep the data

His stories are pretty good, though

I appreciate the sentiment, but musk and Trump (and the people that support them) really don’t give a fuck about this.

There’s people that openly supported Trump that were deported, or had their significant others deported. They only care about skin color and politics and if innocent people get mistreated as collateral, they don’t really care.

Hear, hear

They’ve asked Denmark as well, which is quite tone deaf.

Could’ve phrases that better if that’s what you meant, which might explain people down voting.

But yeah perfectly fine, but if berating slightly pervy people on the internet is your thing then there’s plenty of work cut out for you.

It’s an open forum

Just making sure I got it (and maybe other people that were unaware of the term)
