My theory is they meant the lesson to be learned by santa and the others, through Rudolph, but they focus on him so much that you expect Rudolph to have learned or grown himself. Truth is its santa and the head elf who grow, by realizing that even outcasts have something to offer, and that being cruel is, while morally wrong, just dumb as shit because you might need a glowy reindeer snoot someday, but only if you didn’t drive them to run away and die to a snow monster. Or something.

That or they just didn’t think it through very well at all. Which is probably more likely. Idk. But it feels a little bit more understandable if you think of Santa as the one with the arc, not rudolph.

Ah gotcha, I didn’t know the term for that :)

And many non-official uploads are let stay because somebody sent them a dmca and they chose to keep the video up but let monetization pay out to the org that copyright claimed the content. So the ancient “song name (hd)” video from cheeselicker9000 isn’t official but the record label likely gets paid for any ad revenue they make from it. Most labels just strike the non official stuff and upload their own nowadays though. I know when I did some youtube that was one of the options for a response, just letting the claimant take ad revenue and manage monetization.

Oh, this is like when I was in high school and made batch files that open themselves infinitely and named them “not a virus” on the desktop, only to enjoy other students immediately running them.

No tips, but our complex likes to offer like $100 off rent if you refer a friend to live there. Its kinda annoying when you get a pretty red and green christmasy flyer with “a gift for you!” On the top, then goes on to explain “we’ll give you a pittance if you do our advertising for us”

Maybe just fix our dryer instead you fuckin dumbshits. I’d not recommend this complex to my worst enemy at this point.

Weird christian shame shit aside, here’s a nice security concern to top it off:

“A US Congressman is allowing a 3rd Party tech company to scan ALL of his electronic devices daily and then uploading reports to his son about what he’s watching or not watching….,” Receipt Maven wrote. “I mean, who else is accessing that data?”

In a similar vein, I’d like to remind my apartment complex that your emergency maintenance line doesn’t count as an emergency maintenance line if nobody answers it outside of business hours.

Especially if you only call me back after leaving a message Saturday, on Monday morning. The AC was broken and luckily it wasn’t dead of summer, but it still hit 90 something inside Sunday, and god forbid it was flooding or something like that.

I had a similar issue with a truck and just called my apartment, they had them towed at the car owner’s expense. That’s usually the best option is contact whoever owns the garage or property management and they’ll get the asshole towed on the asshole’s dime usually.

Ublock origin on firefox. Never forced an update, never did any fiddling with block lists. Never got a single warning or notification, still works perfectly. Huh.

Family owned to me sounds like:

Nepotism abounds probably, half the shareholders inherited wealth and didn’t earn it, so they probably don’t know how to run the company as well as the people who built it, enjoy the “we’re all a family” talk, while your manager hires his son timmy to be your boss despite zero experience or qualifications.

Ah thx i figured it out, its ! [link text] (url) no spaces, on kbin at least

Do it!

I don’t even have to torrent, I have like 3 sites I can just go to, search for content on, and stream video from like a shittier netflix. Adblock keeps them relatively sane, and I sometimes have to try different server sources, but otherwise it works fine.

I wouldn’t mind a general vote each election of “keep or dismiss” for supreme court justices. Might want it to be a higher bar than just majority rules, like how an amendment requires 2/3s, but something more like 60% feels reasonable. So if a justice is just obviously corrupt or a piece of shit they can get removed without it being a simple “every year the majority party wipes the court” affair.

Or maybe basic majority would be fine, I just worry about it becoming a revolving door that encouraged lobbying and shit. I just feel like there’s no ripcord for shitty justices.

Good, keep it rolling. Vote every chance you get.

I really hope they release Steam OS for everyone soon. I’d love to install it on my laptop, currently running ChimeraOS which is functionally very similar, but would love to have the stuff like tdp control working in the overlays too without needing third party tools or workarounds.

Oh the reviews on ow2’s steam page are going to be amazing and I’m here for it

Well I’m certainly in a unique spot with my mom, and she is involved in a lot of groups where mormon or exmormon parents call for more lgbtq acceptance and equality, so fair point. I suppose I just wish they’d follow their own teachings rather than be so cruel while claiming its all about love.
