It couldn't possibly be more demeaning. I wonder why the Ohio fan's shirt said "REDE" instead of "REDS" I think there is also something with copyright and use of actual brand names. But there's not with stealing thousands of other images and illustrations to make the AI images? Unfortunately no. I have hear that they are starting to get sue a lot from various artists, authors, etc.

Second AG to refuse. A trend.

The Costco Star does not mean a product is being discontinued. It generally just means the price is reduced below normal. Sometimes it’s due to being discontinued from Costco, but it’s just as likely to be an overstock issue. My bet is that Costco ordered the usual summer’s worth of Bud Light, but a 28% drop in sales has resulted in a LOT of cases of beer rapidly approaching their sell by date. You will likely see less Bud Light on the shelves, but it will still be there…

Hopefully, they'll eat themselves.

Yep, he got me, podnuh.

@LuFins-Dad said in Ghostrooms: @Horace said in Ghostrooms: Agree with 89th. I don't have any issue with this. The real loser is the park, who could obviously be making more money by selling their rooms to people who place value in them. As for the alleged poor souls who miss out on a room, that's just examples of people not being able to have something they cannot afford. There's nothing wrong with that. But the people actually wanting the room can afford it. And want it. And normally want to spend more money than people using the hack for cheaper express passes. Yes the park is missing out, and their inefficient/stupid way of addressing their market causes this. They are not maximizing their profit, and this market would look less ridiculous if they were. It's not a failure of a free market, it's just stupid behavior by a participant in the free market.

@Horace said in I don't think Biden has to worry about RFK Jr.: Never heard of a rhetorical fart before. Interesting - could revolutionize our political debates. You didn't grow up in my family.

@George-K said in Tim's Vermeer: Well, looks like some company is selling an affordable camera lucida so you can reproduce what you see, with no talent whatsoever. Interesting. Would like to see one in action.

@Axtremus said in "Private" tax information given to Faceypage: The IRS has for a long time wanted to build their own free tax return filing website to accommodate those with simple taxes, but some congress critters have always stood in the way. So I blame these Congress critters too. I read somewhere how much money the tax prepare companies spend on donations and lobbying to stop this from happening. But, there is hope (maybe) QUOTE New free direct-file options, straight from the IRS, may also be on the horizon. In May 2023, the IRS delivered a report to the Treasury Department confirming its intent to begin testing a free, agency-run filing system, with a pilot version available to select taxpayers as soon as the 2024 tax-filing season.

After reading (well, skimming) that article... makes me hate that aspect of the internet even more. It went "viral" in 2021, but I hadn't hear of that phrase. Still not really sure what it means. Fuck, people just need to get off their phones and social media.

“forced birth is an act of sexual violence and the choice to have and care for children is a sacred decision which should not be forced upon anyone.” There is a way to prevent that. I guess the right to copulate freely should be voted on as well.

Epps is also suing TuCa for defamation. Discovery's gonna be a hoot.
