I am not an expert but I am pretty sure changing a job is a "qualified life event" that allows an out-of-band change. I hate privatized insurance but I didn't think this thing in p…

Two companies stole trillions of tokens worth of IP from Americans so of course the US government will step in and protect "their IP" from competitors

That's the point isn't it? You overpay a wealthy dude with connections to gain a node on nepotism graph.

Oh, SCOTUS doesn't radically reinterpret the Constitution in that direction. Or, perhaps maybe it does, but nobody's bought Clarence the right RV yet.

Well that one is the classic far-right talking point that overpaying to be denied healthcare is preferable to the bogeyman of "wait times." Their other popular talking point is tha…

Catastrophic events seem to wipe people out financially regardless of insurance status. I keep hearing of people divorcing so their former spouse can keep some assets while they ar…

Heh. I hate having any attached cables, they're too easy to fray. But otherwise I am with you, I only buy wired headphones.

Occasionally mobs of hateful psychos will target individuals with harassment. There is absolutely not enough protection from unwanted messages, unwanted phone calls, false reports …

Simply remove protections and deal out massive fines to platforms hosting obviously fraudulent listings, they will figure out solutions overnight.

You are interested in providing something worth paying for. Other people are interested in maximizing ROI for ad spend.

It's glib, but allegedly they are losing money on those. Certainly compared to what they'd be getting with their usage-based pricing. Unless you mean people are forgetting to use t…

An assumption required to make capitalism work efficiently is that customers have meaningful choices. Trustbusting is one of the important roles of the government, if it were funct…

I love solutions like that. Like if you are splitting food, one person cuts and the other chooses.

It would probably improve my life that the internet dies, except there are no longer many third spaces. Those spaces that do exist are also recording my every movement anyway. As i…

I guess I am a 4A absolutist. The original case is clear that that person's rights were violated. It certainly is reasonable for the officers to believe they could conduct a search…

That interpretation is insane to me. If all it takes is, "haha, oops," to use evidence gained from an unconstitutional search, people do not actually have Fourth Amendment rights. …

Which specific mass media are controlled by the left?

In retrospect, the part I quoted is very unclear for what I intended. I should have added more. What's hard to believe is the data is apparently still allowed in the case. Like... …

Of course you would set up another strawman for this. Yes, very intelligent, declining to support a business when their founders have odious politics is exactly the government's th…

"Yet you participate in society. Curious!"

> [E]ven if there had been a violation of the Fourth Amendment, law enforcement officials had acted in good faith. How is this even remotely a possibility?

If the only way to interact with a business is via Facebook or Instagram, I don't interact with the business. Unfortunately this is more of a problem for me than it is for them. I …

As soon as they find the side of the story they already agree with they know that the platform is a marketplace of ideas instead of a bubble.

Has the US ever opened a single DMCA perjury case against anyone?

Steal $20 from a gas station and it is jail time. Instead, steal wages from employees and double-charge customers to make it a civil case.
