Legal Eagle just released a video about "the real Epstein files". The main point they covered in the video is victim impact. The victims could be threatened and harassed because of the info.

Another point not covered is that criminal case info is typically not disclosed. Releasing a list of accused perpetrators (i.e. pedophiles/child rapists) encourages vigilante justice. It also interferes with any ongoing investigations, which should (at least in theory) still be ongoing.

I don't want Trump to release the case info. I want his DOJ to announce charges against people like Les Wexner, based on that info. And I want it to not just be his political enemies and bullshit lies.

From what I've been told, the smell of BO disappears after a while. Instead, they smell like a farm animal. But they have to skip bathing long enough for that change to occur, and it gets undone whenever they bathe.

As for people saying they smell fine, as obnoxious as we are, very few people are willing to tell someone they smell like shit. Most of us will even directly lie to them to avoid the difficult conversation.

This isn't the first time a company has used this approach. Apple users will always pay (be charged) more. I suspect the same is true for mobile users vs desktop.

But with AI being applied, there will be a TON of variables, just like your car insurance. You probably won't even be able to identify most of them. For instance, which ISP are you using? What time of the day are you shopping?

What else does your browser fingerprint say about you? What about when they link it to Facebook, even without your knowledge or consent? Will gay people (or women, or Mexicans, or any other group) pay more?

The issue here isn't about charity for the less fortunate. Many of the people begging make a decent living (from begging), and moreso than those working shitty service jobs. I don't want to give money to someone that dresses homeless and puts on an act. I would happily give money to anyone that genuinely doesn't know where they will sleep next week, or where their next meal is coming from.

The problem is that I'm not in a position to evaluate that. As such, I would rather give money to food banks and the like, since they are in a better position for that.

Searching through the trash means they genuinely need the money, and are willing to work for it. That's worth something.

ARM wasn't a sudden shift. 15 years ago it was clearly not going to be going away, simply due to energy efficiency needs. Intel responded with the Atom line, which was widely panned. Once it failed, Intel seemingly decided to skip that entire market.

By definition, to win a Darwin award you must remove yourself from the gene pool. Usually that means killed, but sometimes means accidentally sterilized.

AFAICT, the guy survived, so no Darwin award.

Voter intimidation is a lot harder when the voter doesn't have to physically be there in a narrow window of time.

Kroger owns a bunch of other brands. Do you have one of them in your market, and it's just a branding difference?

For anyone unaware, the gallon size of condiments (mayo, ranch dressing, hot sauce, etc) is typically for food service. IOW, restaurants and the like.

That said, there's nothing stopping individuals from getting it, so the point is still valid.
