He was appointed to fill a seat vacated by someone moving to the cabinet. He’s not beholden to anyone, and Govtrack ranked him as the most conservative member of the 117th Congress in Feb 2023.
He’s 100% safe to do whatever he or his handlers want.
Or you pay monthly for a law service. Those types of letters are exactly what those programs are intended to cover.
Well, when you have a product that basically defines the absence of uniqueness, is readily replaceable by multiple alternatives at the same price, and only popular because of historical use and habit, you’ve been constantly at risk of losing it all even if you didn’t see it
No she was involved with the Epstein shit back in Florida decades ago. She’s been involved in covering this shit up well before it got to this point.
That attitude isn’t new. It’s existed for decades in those types of roles. The difference is that Gen Z doesn’t give a shit about hiding it anymore, regardless of what management wants.
Welcome to US Healthcare. That’s how it’s been for decades about anything remotely similar.
Always intentionally understaffed to save on labor, but instead of hiring more staff, hiring temporary traveling nurses at 3x the cost or more. While making existing staff feel like shit for even considering how much they’re getting fucked.
Yeah the “handouts” usually require documentation.
The suit isn’t intended to go anywhere, like most of A trumps personal lawsuits. It’s about giving the illusion someone else did something wrong. And once people forget about it because other shit is in the media, they’ll quietly drop it. In the meantime it forces the WSJ to waste money and lawyer’s time defending a frivolous lawsuit.
Anyone who stops to think about the problem for even a second can see why the abusers are by far most common in religious groups.
The abuse almost exclusively requires leaving your child alone with the abuser, there obviously is abuse that doesn’t but that’s not the type of thing that we’re talking about when things hit the news. They’re not going to abuse a random child openly in public. And there is not much of a reason to leave your child alone at a drag queen event.
When you get to religious events however, children are left alone with religious leaders and volunteers all the time. So many religious individuals seem to trust that just because someone says they’re religious, they are inherently more trustworthy. That somehow simply being in the group is a vetting process of some sort. When you add on the extremely common focus on having those children do whatever their elders say, without any second-guessing, and you have created a group of victims ready to abuse. Organized religions like Christianity create an atmosphere perfect for an abuser to target and abuse while hiding in plain site. And even if the child tries to tell their parents, they often aren’t believed, because “children lie”.
Saw this exact thing happen to one of my neighbor’s girls. She was abused for almost 5 years from the age of 4 while the family ignored what she tried to tell them. He was abusing several children, and it only ended because he happened to get caught in the act at an event.
Maybe they should have a way of determining where someone is from and not process transactions for those regions… Oh wait, that’s a fundamental function of not only what they already do, but also the Steam store itself.
Oh that’s exactly what they’ve started putting into motion now that they realize that trying to avoid it entirely is actually backfiring on them and breaking the base. Trump ordered Pam Bondi to produce more Epstein info. That is definitely going to be doctored info, just like the “raw” video they released was edited and missing segments.
I’m honestly surprised that the processor shareholders aren’t demanding they process those transactions to increase profits even more.
The only way that justification could possibly gold any water is if they used the data to exclude those people from consideration entirely since they would have to be documented, and thus already in the system.
But we know ICE isn’t excluding anyone at all, especially if they have a vaguely foreign sounding name.
I’m getting really tired of payment processors deciding what adults should be able to do with their money.
Same with lazy platforms and advertisers that aren’t even targeting children resulting in dogshit censorship across the internet.
We’re honestly supposed to believe that with the advanced algorithms, metadata matching systems, and audience targeting systems that these fucks use, that they can’t tell with high certainty whether an account is an adult or a child, and allow the appropriate type of ads through? Especially when many of them require accounts that require you provide that information. Get fucked.
There is no way he adjusts his diet at all. He believes the body has a battery with a finite amount of energy and exercise is bad because it depletes that battery faster. There’s no way he has the mental capacity to understand he needs to change his eating habits when the doctors advise it.
They identify with a political group who’s primary recognizable characteristics are publicly wearing an extremely identifiable bright red hat and actively mocking and trolling their perceived opponents even in completely fictitious situations.
It’s not much of a leap to say they acted similarly at work and got fired for being an asshole constantly.
Context for those who somehow made it to Lemmy but can’t do a basic internet search.
I never said it did, but at the same time the fact is that those people probably aren’t needed anymore. And they may not be for a year or more for another project. That’s the nature of development like this. A lot of game development is very specific and people are hired for that specific need. Unless the studio is large enough to be handling multiple projects in various stages of development, keeping all those developers on staff that have no work to do for months or years after release doesn’t make sense.
Just pointing out that it shouldn’t be taken by anyone as an indictment of the game or development team, how it was received, or necessarily any future plans. It’s par for the course.
Par for the course after a release at many studios. The positions needed at various steps of production vary. Unless the studio is big enough to be working multiple projects simultaneously and can shift staff around to various teams, hiring and firing for each phase of production is normal.
She was Florida AG from 2011 to 2019. At any point in there she could have prosecuted Epstein separately from the deal Alex Acosta made in 2008. Plenty of new information was available after that and ignored by the State of Florida under her watch.
