If you had a talk show called the [Your Name] show, should it be immune to bankruptcy courts? Should a the company [Your Name] Inc. not be allowed to be bought and sold? Should we forbid people from selling tshirts or pictures with their names and faces on them? Where do you think we should draw the line?

The same precedent applies to ordinary people too. Should a debt collector acquire your Facebook page? Because you used Facebook marketplace it’s now a business asset?

Most people don't own a business. The occasional use of facebook marketplace doesn't make a personal account part of a nonexistant business.

remove the arbitrary cap on House reps.

proportional representation

I thought you were conflating these two. If not, then I have no idea what you were talking about when you said

I think thats what they meant?

I think that's what makes it such a good point of comparison though. It's titled differently and we were promised it would be different, but all that really happened was they changed their monetization tactics. And maybe it's just nostalgia, but I remember liking Overwatch when it came out, but now I have almost zero interest in playing Overwatch 2, even though I've gone back to it a few times just to give it a try.

Not all of it, obviously. But if you want someone else to, you should consider not making them search through a different website to try to find it.

3 examples isn't a great way to show nationwide trends.

Over 2000 convicted criminals - illegals captured by ICE

This is from 2015.

In New York, a sanctuary city that has received the most immigrants from Republican-run border states, crime decreased in most major categories in 2023 compared to the year before, as confirmed by a January report from the New York City Police Department. This follows reductions in most crime categories in the city in 2022. New York City remains one of the safest big cities in the country despite sensational claims that it is being overwhelmed by crime.

From the same article linked above, since you seem so obsessed with New York City.

Do you just not really pay attention to US politics? It was only like a year or two ago that his name was always being brought up.

It's not like netflix is the only one that can offer that kind of service. You've still got gamefly, 3D Bluray Rental, cafedvd, redbox (if you're fine with going to a kiosk), your public library, and probably others if you care to search for them.

Douglas Wigdor, a lawyer who represented eight of Weinstein's accusers, said the decision was "tragic" and "a major step back in holding those accountable for acts of sexual violence".

"Courts routinely admit evidence of other uncharged acts... the jury was instructed on the relevance of this testimony," he added. "It will require the victims to endure yet another trial."

Honestly, it makes sense to me that a history of repeatedly committing a certain crime over the course of years or decades would make compelling circumstantial evidence that he committed the crime again

If you're in the US (as Obinice pointed out), type your zipcode in the box in the top left and you've got your hyper local forecast and any relevant warnings and watches. I don't care for or want extra notifications, so that's a bit of a blindspot for me.

Also, if you're using firefox on android you can hit the 3 dots and "install" the zipcode specific forecast, which just gives you a shortcut to that page on your homescreen.

I think the problem is that it's also being sold as a dlc of sorts.

Even if it can be obtained in-game without purchasing it separately, why is it available for purchase?

And yet we trust almost all of them to operate a 2-ton machine on a daily basis here in the US.
