If they refuse to play the claim, they are refusing to provide the service you have already paid them for.

If they refuse to renew a contract, they are not taking your money, and not agreeing to provide the service.

If a colour theme is enough to set you off, you may want to have an honest conversation with yourself about those feelings you are repressing.

Those are just the disguised lizard people.

I think the other thing that people need to remember is that when online on platforms like Lemmy, Twitter, etc, you aren’t just having a one on one conversation. There are other people reading the exchange. People who would otherwise be allies, can still be alienated, even without anyone directly saying anything to them.

Also, there seems to be far too many people who are willing to let perfect be the enemy of good. If your opinions don’t exactly match theirs, you are indoctrinated, evil, stupid, malicious, etc.

All you have to do is come up with a new name for it. It’s not like any of them have a clue about what socialism actually entails.

At this point, I think it’s too late for that. It’s time to start looking at French history for inspiration.

HDD read rates are way faster than media playback rates, and seek times are just about irrelevant in that use case. Spinning rust is fine for media storage. It’s boot drives, VM/container storage, etc, that you would want to have on an SSD instead of the big HDD.

Isn’t the second part of this meme supposed to be something that is not true?

A counter example that came to my mind is rabies. Look up how that progresses. There’s absolutely zero chance that I would be putting myself through that if I were diagnosed with it and it was too late for the vaccine. Assisted dying just ensures that nobody has to go through the trauma of finding my body.

Yes, and in that exact order.

You’ve never had a stomach bug and trusted a fart you shouldn’t have?

“Elites” is about as useless a word as “woke” or “terrorist”; depending on who you ask, you will get wildly different (and often mutually exclusive) answers on what it means.

This take would make more sense if it wasn’t something he does every year.

Was there ever any doubt?

I’m also willing to bet that the blacksmith they are picturing looks very different from your average blacksmith.

People need to think less like medieval serfs, and more like 18th century Frenchmen.

To most people, it also implies wireless backhaul.

The second ER diagnosed her with sepsis and then sent her home

That right there should be criminal charges. Pregnancy staus is irrelevant at that point. Sepsis will kill you if untreated.

I think it has less to do with their attitude on sex, and more to do with the availability of actual porn. I’m an older millenial, and even I’m of the opinion that full on sex scenes very rarely add anything to the plot. Implied sex is often more than enough to do the required plot advancement. If I wanted the sex specifically, I’d just go watch porn.

That may not be just head cannon. The Agatha show is kinda hinting at it.
