LG effectively has said that their owners manual and a cardboard box have authority over the courts. Clearly, as the courts have nullified it, they fucking dont.

All I see is a damned good reason to ban arbitration agreements outright. If you want to arbitrate a tort, you should be required to motion the court for it.

In case Apple’s advice doesn’t work, it’s safe to say that you probably need help from professional repair experts and may even need to prepare yourself to buy a new iPhone.

options include the establishment of a digital ID system or services that can estimate an individual's age based on a visual scan of their face.

Oh yeah... I'm sure that won't cause any unintended issues at all...

Is isreal really that oblivious to world opinion and how it might affect them? Seems that way...

I read the article, and it quoted her as having said "oh yeah" when he declared a weapon, and I thought "yeah that's not great, but I kinda get it" because I assumed the context was that she assumed he meant it as a mild threat perhaps and was responding with "oh yeah?" the way one would when being insulted or threatened...

Then I watch the video, and that's not the case at all... The tone implies something much more along the lines of "yippee, you got a gun, now I get to develop a sudden fear for my life and do THIS!... Yeehaw!"

She ain't intimidated or threatened, she just mentally busted through a brick wall holding a pitcher in her hand looking to have a tropical punch party, that was a koolade man "OH YEAH!"

Y'all cops need to come to Jesus and establish some fucking standards and enforce them, because what you got going with the paid vacation and taxpayers funding their own restitution is not gonna be indefinitely sustainable. You're filling a keg full of powder and one of these evil motherfuckers you keep turning a blind eye to is gonna throw a spark in the wrong place at the wrong time, and not even the bomb squad in their full staypuft costume is gonna qualify for immunity from the explosion it causes.

I don't think we need to go down that road, but a lot of people do, and cops like Ms koolade here arent making the opinion shrink...

We need to get rid of riders... Someone propose a "one bill-one item" rule already, and stick that motherfucker on every single fucking bill as a rider until something comes along that'll bait em all into that shit.

Shuttering their central bank and converting to dollars... Meaning they aren't actually getting rid of a central bank, but are rather converting to a foreign central bank.

White paper and black text is the norm because until relatively recently, it was much more cost effective... This could be done cheaply with modern tech, and should 100% be a thing...

I'd buy the hell out of dark mode books.

And they're gonna go away because some wingnut convinced a bunch of people that their fins cause boners.

I can't believe the level of stupid in what I just read...

In 2017, Texas decided they didn't want planned parenthood covered by Medicaid. Let's just ignore the merits of it entirely and respect Texas's right to be as stupid as they wanna be.

So for four years, from 2017 to 2021, they went through whatever bureaucratic/legal process is required to remove an agency from Medicaid. Also ignoring the merit of it, that's their right.

Now they wanna say that all claims made during that process are fraudulent? Because while pp was still part of Medicaid, they didn't want them to be?

I don't want texas to have property taxes, I'm gonna start a movement to get rid of them (hypothetical, I don't live in Texas), let's say I succeed 30 years from now... do I get my money back?

No you jackasses. That's not how shit works. It's not rational, it's not logical, it doesn't pass a common sense test, you're fucking stupid.

The best clothing for a hotter environment is a tad counterintuitive, because it's less comfortable in the short term... you want full sleeves, full pants or a long skirt/kilt/toga/whatever (I'm reasonably certain that if heat waves continue cranking it up, these are going to become a unisex thing, whatever we're gonna call them...). You want everything loose so there's room for evaporation to happen (it's your body's natural swamp cooler), you want large openings everywhere so the air can ventilate, and you want lighter colors that reflect. You'll also want to cover your head, preferably withsomething wide (and/or includes the little neck covering flap deal) that creates a lot of shade, but it's currently more common in deserts to see less shade producing scarves/wraps.

You'll feel hotter in the immediate, and overdressed, but you'll overall be absorbing less energy from direct sunlight, and that means a more stable amount of body heat overall, and less risk of things like cancer.

I wear loose t-shirts, jeans, and a wide boonie/fishing hat. Less overall clothing is better, but more coverage is also better. Gotta find that balance is all.

TL:DR, the clothes most people associate with the Middle East... clothes that are worn by people who've dealt with a hotter climate for millennia. The white robe looking getup is what's gonna work best in a hotter climate.

How do I make the politics and news subs go away? It's all ridiculously biased to the lib side and I'm as centrist/moderate as a human can possibly be, and don't want "news" from a polar source (and this joint definitely is).

I kinda want an "ALL" feed, to randomly wander around and figure out where I belong, but instead of the "memes and porn junk" everyone's complaining about, that I'd be pretty happy with, I got blue koolade nonstop.

Is there a fairly simple answer to this, or do I gotta go find specific subs and have only those be my feed?
