A lot of plans do. Especially with the major telecom networks like ATT and Verizon.

Recently had a smaller company come in and install fiber. $85/mo for Gigabit service with no data cap. That’s pretty good compared to what I was paying. ATT only offered 500Mb/s and that was over $110 a month with a data cap, I want to say 800GB.

Do not get reliable enough cell coverage for one of those mobile routers. But they aren’t any cheaper here since those are owned by the major telecoms.

I’ve seen the whole thing. Better fight scenes would improve it but it would still remain a major stinker. Zero desire to watch again.

Apparently they filmed everything thinking it would be R rated but changed it to PG13 during editing so a lot of combat footage was too violent for usage.

Women are the most vulnerable in the world and the most important thing is that they are not alone

Edit: to be fair I have been arguing with my family about reproductive rights for awhile (US)

They aren’t smiling with their eyes. Only their mouths. Gives me weird vibes on instinct.

No commenters seem to have read the article.

This plant’s US population is extinct in the wild with some being kept alive in sanctuaries.

The plant is native to the Caribbean and there are still wild populations in other parts of the region, as per the article.

Still sad though. Salt water intrusion from sea level rise killed the US population.

Except she has had surgery?

She hasn’t owned up to it but very much did not deny.

Edit: for the record I had no idea there was a whole thing around her a Megan Kelly. Can’t agree with all the hate.

That said, I’m replying to a comment about people having surgery/other medical procedures/drastic makeup etc that causes great changes and she was the first one that popped into my head. She hasn’t denied the surgery. Just said Kelly was spreading false news. But in all her statements she has never denied the surgery from my understanding.

I also don’t agree that it’s “fucking sad” as commenter above me states. She can do whatever she wants it’s her body. Having surgery or not doesn’t matter at all. I still hold that she looks drastically different from 5 years ago regardless of the reason.

She was literally the first person I thought of when reading this as well.

I guess Coca Cola has those flavor packets just right then.

It’s the equivalent of Persona 5 being followed by Persona 5 Royal with its added content.

Who is the parent organization of Yum! Brands? That would be PepsiCo

Spun off in ‘97 I guess but that’s not really the same as selling from my understanding

Edit: they are legally distinct entities that answer to largely the same shareholders after some research

You definitely get it. Pure satire.

Possibly generally more liberal but my personal anecdote as a raised Catholic- now non Christian , is that Catholics are only marginally less crazy than evangelicals. All Catholics I know are super conservative.

Edit: I know Biden identifies as Catholic and I’m not claiming my personal experience is comprehensive. Biden is the only Pro-Choice Catholic I’ve ever known of. Most people I know don’t even consider Biden a true Catholic because of his stances.

I agree with the sentiment. Neoliberals aren’t left wing. Some that caucus with Democrats are.

You make good points. I was not completely clear in my post.

There are situations where what you say is true. (Were they setup that way intentionally though, for this very reason? Don’t think we will ever truly know.) There are certain multiplayer focused games that could be destroyed by client side affirming. I get that there are legitimate situations that makes this difficult for corps.

There are licensing issues as well but so many games face this and many offer “streamer friendly” options where the licensing of the music isn’t an issue.

Many of these live service/ server dependent games are completely completable single player and they could disable any licensed music/ multiplayer licensed components? Most of them are P2P anyway like Helldivers 2.

These are the ones I draw issue with.

Edit: to your point of multiple servers; why couldn’t we host the required servers privately if they so wished?

Why is this too much to ask? (I get the Capitalist why)

I feel like a lot of my grievances with live service games, outside of predatory mtx, is this inevitable endpoint of losing this game and all your achievements/ experiences/ progress.

This could also help solve a lot of Ross Scott’s (yt: accursed farms) lawsuits against live service games. In their case, The Crew

Let us host this ourselves if we wish. From a corporate perspective You can always lock the updated latest and greatest behind your currently supported game.

I know the reality is greed

Possible. All I know is calling 911 on my phone with cell only failed mid morning yesterday EST while I had no service. My local news put out an announcement the 911 operators were having issues receiving calls due to issues with ATT.

Connecting to WiFi to call 911 failed. Again, could be my county. Called non emergency local number over WiFi: success. They transferred me to 911

Correct. I had to connect to WiFi to use ATT calls over WiFi to call the non emergency number to be transferred to my needed emergency services. My local news station put out an announcement about ATT customers not being able to contact local 911 operators. May have had something to do with my county specifically. Still, a major issues.

I did not have SOS service on my phone for about 6 hours yesterday. So you are incorrect in that all people were able to contact emergency services. ATT, Upper Midwest

I’m surprised that no one has mentioned this but a lot of physical discs nowadays are nothing more than glorified license checks, especially with games. Even buying the physical version does not guarantee you safety from these problems.
