It drives me absolutely nuts that the AP has this bizarre reputation for neutrality. They’re one of the most right wing media organizations I know of. Like, their reporting is barely distinguishable from Breitbart half the time, and they also hide the names of their reporters a lot of the time.

It’s the biggest difference between the US and UK, the UK is so committed to austerity they even defund the cops and the military.

As Riley on Trashfuture has said, they’re fully committed to winding down the British State as a going concern.

Los Angeles is the worst city built in the best location on earth. I hate it with a passion.

I’m not sure which I hate more, LA or Orlando, which is the worst city built in the worst location on earth.

Fundamentally misunderstanding why Ivy League schools have so many foreign students. I’ll give you a hint, it’s not to generously bolster those countries and educate people of the world. Those are the people you send back to their home countries to institute pro-America policies.

Yeah, either way. The best outcome for Ukraine would’ve been to tell the west to kick rocks in like 2013, not done ethnic cleansing, and not gotten into this situation in the first place.

But now the best outcome is anything that ends the war with the least amount of control by the United States.

Yeah like I said, I know why and I do think it’s the right decision but fuck seeing the responses makes me go “Why bother”

Unfortunately, the previous owner did not disclose that thousands of Lifetime Deals (LTDs) had been sold through platforms like StackSocial.

We discovered this only months later—when a large portion of our resources were strained by these LTD accounts and high support volume from users, who through part of the database, provided no sustaining income to help us improve and maintain the service

Sounds like something for your lawyers to discuss with the previous owners, rather than start breaking contracts you were already in.

According to VPNSecure’s owners, their acquisition netted them “the tech, the brand, and the infrastructure/technology—but none of the company, contracts, payments, or obligations from the previous owners.”

Well isn’t that convenient for you! I love to buy all the benefits of something without any of its associated downsides!

VPNSecure is offering affected users discounted new subscriptions for either $1.87 for a month (instead of $9.95), $19 for a year (instead of $79.92), or $55 for three years (instead of $107.64). The deals are available until May 31, per the email.

At yes, $55 for 3 years is totally the same as being already paid off for the rest of my life. Spending $1000 over the remainder of my life is no different to spending $0, and I’m sure your customers will see it that way.

Everyone who approved this should have their own personal wealth taken to be given as refunds to the customers.

Also, if a company cancels a lifetime agreement they should be required to pay you back significantly more than you paid them in the first place. Like if it was $500 for the lifetime deal it should cost like $1000 to cancel and refund it. A straight refund does not make things even when I signed on for a very good deal, a straight refund means I’m getting screwed over.

Also also, maybe I’m wrong about the cost of running a VPN service, but I feel like $55 for 3 years has to be above the break-even point for most users, and if you’ve really discovered a bunch of lifetime subscriptions causing you to hemorrhage money, you should only be charging them the amount that will stem that bleeding. Like $.50 a month or whatever the actual cost per user is.

Yeah honestly my guess is it’s a change patreon made site wide

What’s funny is I feel like this is just inviting lawsuits from all those new lawyers

Dear Nancy,

Enclosed you will find a plan to go down in history as a positive figure instead of a feckless ghoul good at nothing but insider trading.

Best,

So not even shut down by Nintendo, shut down by someone who went “waaah waaah this is copyright infringement”?

Yeah man you’re making the “Pirate Games” machine of course there’s copyright infringement involved I’m shocked you ever thought there wasn’t

“Program on Wii uses Wii code” no shit? Of course it would. It’s a program on the Wii!

Am I missing something here?
