This was the context I never knew I needed, thank you.

Funny meme but also inflation is bad

Good article, but the bit about airline customers being only slightly less likely to use the airline they hate is hardly something you can blame on customers.

If the alternatives either don’t exist (e.g., United is the only feasible route between city A and City B), or they are both shitty (Delta is just as shitty as United, so the fact that United breaks guitars doesn’t mean I’m more likely to pick Delta), then poor customer service is just the cost of existing.

Certainly isn’t closed but it’s a great step.

Then tell them a holy parable about finding cheese.

Good point, should have the cluster size from #3, just offset.

The best kind of regulation.

Free reign for the oligarchs to fuck shit up and permanently establish industry, then add just enough to box out potential competition.

Redirects you the highest paying search result.

I think the point of therapy is to help you effect changes in your behavior (mental and physical). Sounds like you were able to make some changes that help.

Were the replies on Reddit from AI bots?

Bigoted Animus?

Sounds like the next big conservative influencer.

Thank you, they’ve been ruining search results since the day SEO was coined.

For most people the consequences of this action will be too far away to understand the connection, so it’s a pretty good target for the US Republican party.

SLC has it tougher than most urban areas surrounded by rural religious blight.

This is part of why penalties have maximums.

They could easily charge $200/file with a cap of $5M. Slap in the wrist for Facebook, ruinous for almost everyone else.
