Civil judgements are worse than bad credit if the they want them to be. They can garnish wages, take your tax returns, attach any property you have or get, etc. Even if you're broke and jobless they can haul you into court every year to file financial documents, just waiting until you have something to take. A lot of times they don't bother once they find out someone is broke they give up because of the legal costs, but in this case they're suing to make a point, not recover money.
From Google Translate:
Our suffering in Gaza was to travel as if we were not human beings. After I returned to Gaza, my health improved until this war happened. After two months, my treatment and most of the medicines in Gaza were cut off. To this day, there is a huge shortage of medicines. During the war and the lack of treatment, the damned disease came back to me. This was one of the reasons I went to Egypt and we paid everything we had to travel there. Yes, we were exploited in a dirty way, but there was no other solution. When we came to Egypt, we did not know that life here had become difficult and extremely expensive. Although I was sick, I worked so that I could provide for my treatment. I worked 11 hours for only $2, which was not enough, but there was no other solution. After a short period, I left work because my health condition became difficult and my head was broken because of it. For this reason, I did a cover-up and our house in Gaza was also destroyed and we lost everything. Since the beginning of the war, my friend Muhammad was telling me to do a cover-up, but I refused because throughout my life I had never thought of asking anyone. I felt broken hearted when I did it. I support you, but there is no other solution. Your donations can help me go to Germany to receive final treatment. There, this was my story and my suffering, and most of the suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza. I want to thank you for your support and assistance.
There's a really good podcast episode that dives into how photography rarely captures reality as it exists, but instead is the expression of the photographer. I came away from it with a greater appreciation of the art of photography, and also a more nuanced view on these kinds of staged photographs.
This photo was staged, but is it not expressing real feelings about the great depression? I get why people get angry when they feel like photographs lie, but I think the right response is the realize that all photographs lie to some extent. The photographer is showing you what they want you to see, framed and focused how they want it, chosen from dozens of similar shots to express the reality that they chose.
I wish I had more time to better explain myself, but I'll drop the podcast link in case anyone wants to listen.
Insurance as a private industry is so stupid. They extract profits to protect people from catastrophic losses, but then when something catastrophic happens, the government has to step in to save the industry. We've seen it with the risk pools that states have had to create to keep health insurers from pulling out of rural areas, with last resort programs for home insurance and flood insurance, the AIG bailout, and the built in bailouts of Obamacare.
Why do they get to collect the profits if they don't cover the risks?
This removes Copilot and telemetry, I don't remember if it has the option to remove onedrive, though.
Did they really breed them to fight? I thought it was part of the Nazis "Aryan" heritage bullshit.

You can be a monopoly without being an illegal monopoly. Monopoly is when one company has an outsized market share, an illegal monopoly is when they use that market share to stifle competition.
Nobody sells their car in reaction to a catalytic converter theft. They just get more reactionary politics when it comes to crime, and become more likely to shoot a stranger that wanders into their yard.
The most complex moral dilemma we get in games these days are just dialogue trees where you decide whether to be nice or an asshole.
Most games that give you that option don't even have any consequences for those choices, either. It'll be like:
"Will you kill this person?"
"I will not"
"Oops, they died anyway"
I like this one better:

Did any union support Trump? I know Teamsters didn't endorse, but that's not the same as supporting Trump.
Obviously cop unions are always supporting Republicans, but nobody serious considers that union support.
