Shhh! Nobody tell them about "inside out."

"Oh no, those poor ticket buyers. How can we make this right?"

A fit of laughter washed over the C-level executive suite as hardened stoic expressions melt under the absurdity of the line.

For the Ticketmaster empire has fulfilled its purpose once again; to draw out the anger, to be the hated, to consume and regurgitate the evils and greeds of the land.

Lunch is delivered, and that was the last thought on the matter for the day. Talk of vacation homes and weekend yacht excursions permiate the walls; yellowed ever so slightly over the decades.

The delivery driver sulks away, untipped, from the lions den as their phone buzzes with a new notification.

"Oh, shit. What this time?"

That snippit is out of context. The DMV claims they don't meet FMVSS because they don't.

... the DMV claims they don't meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS). And while it's true Kei vehicles don't meet those safety standards, they shouldn't have to. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), imported vehicles at least 25 years old are exempt from FMVSS.

They are exploiting a loophole for personal antique vehicles to import or resell a fleet that doesn't meet safety standards. It can become an issue and absolutely within scope of the DMV to keep an eye on.

It took 14 paragraphs to get to the F-ing point. Jeez The Guardian is sensationalist dribble.

I'll save you the emotional buildup to radicalize their demographic and cut straight to it:

The charges filed by the union allege that Brown unilaterally changed protest policies without bargaining, and made threats of retaliation toward union members for participating in pro-Palestine campus protests.

“It’s really about the university trying to leverage this fact that, as graduate workers, we do have student status, and kind of using that as a workaround for violating labor law.

OMG what if Google moves to India/Mexico permanently and is subject to the TikTok ban.

Oh, I can dream. Haha!

Donuts, bagels, 85°, bahn mi shops, heck Safeway/Lucky's/Walmart?

That's a lot of exclusions and a LOT of already screwed over employees not getting a break.

I wish I could earn in a year what he lost in a day. It would solve so, so many hardships I face in life.

F him for grifting so damn much

Some of us experience this on Lemmy too.

There are some communities here where users plunge headfirst in groupthought and if you cross their path, good gravy will the down votes flood in. It's not about being right or wrong, it's about refusing to acknowledge alternative points of view.

Water off a duck's back. If Lemmy needs more kindness, be the kindness you seek. That's my philosophy.

So if every photo of a Galaxy S24 is a fake AI composition, does that mean nothing could be copyrightable or used as evidence?

Those will be fun days in court!

I did the math and it would take me roughly 90 years to pay off a 2 bedroom fixer-upper.

Surprise twist, said fixer-upper is the place I rent currently.

Double surprise twist, I pay more in rent then the mortgage for this place, but don't qualify to buy my own.

I'm stuck in the renters purgatory.

There are more twists still, but those are too personal.

That's exactly where I wanted to work, but before you hate, I wanted to get into advertising because I didn't like what I saw and thought I could do better. I got the degrees, took the psych classes, and set off to change the world for the better. Nobody hired me.

You can't buy what you don't know exists, and there are some awesome things out there. But being hammered by messages or propaganda is lazy and abusive; I don't put up with it.

So yeah, I'm an wannabe advertiser turned massive ad blocker/privacy supporter. Screw the industry.

It tickles me when I read of journalists protecting their privacy. You can see how far up the tree they've climbed.

There are many, many more ways to track that anonymous phone. These are feel-good settings to disable for that sense of false security; like you're in control. It does have effect, don't get me wrong.

But a big part of tracking is not what your phone sends, but other devices detect. There's no opt out of that data collection.
