Oh, they can add content not included in the original purchase? And they ask me to buy those things they worked on if I want to play with them? Fucking monsters... someone needs to stop them.

Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but I'm a fan of Interpol and I can give some recs for bands I consider similar, not individual songs.

  • Bloc Party
  • Cage the Elephant
  • Young the Giant

Fuck that. Maybe old WSB, not the GME cultists. They can fuck all the way off.

I have questions about how necessary it was to fire at the woman in the first place.

•if she's in an empty lobby with her and her son, and two security officers, could they not have tried to negotiate and get the kid away first?

•Did security actually see "materials consistant with manufacturing explosives" inside her trenchcoat before firing, or is that something they alleged after they shot a 7yo in the head. There were no explosives found on her body or at home.

I know it's hard to judge these situations, but I feel like there could have been a resolution where the kid doesn't sacrificed by everyone involved.

His line will become the party line. Or this will be another compromise he pushes to get elected then reneges on, like his Healthcare plan that is still 2 weeks away.

It's weird... do you think Elliot cares what OP's pirated copies list their name as, when the legal copies on stream have already updated the name? Would it not be better to pay for the content and support the artist that way?

This is one of the strangest virtue signals I've ever seen. Just watch the mediocre show and move on.

We do and it is.

That would have to be negotiated in the Police Union contracts. Same reason they can't fire pedo teachers immediately, they are contractually obligated to keep paying them until they are investigated or found guilty.

Most of these cops "retire" to end the internal investigation and keep their benefits, then decide to "unretire", and get hired in the next town with a clean record.

The police have one of the strongest unions in America, and almost no one bats an eye. But let Starbucks employees try to unionize and you'll hear how greedy and corrupt unions are.

Not for someone to be a stalker. You're saying the only thing keeping some people from being a stalker is how easy the info is to find, or parse, even.

So they get the equivalent of "10's of thousands of dollars" (appraised by the school), and the schools get to rake in millions on ticket sales + concessions, broadcasting deals and merchandise with the kid's name on it, and if the kid complains or does anything to make money independently, which is every American's right, they lose that scholarship and get kicked out of the sport?

Still sounds like exploitation to me.
