“There’s a quickly growing religious movement whose followers believe Christians are called to wage a spiritual battle for control of the United States. The New Apostolic Reformation, as it’s known, seeks an explicitly Christian command of the highest levels of the government, including the presidency and the Supreme Court—but its leaders are working on the hyper-local level, too.“

Is it the fine or the redaction?

That and ME is a huge dip in that curve.

I’m on board with your Vista–>7 thoughts, but I do take issue with ME. It never was a decent OS and it very much was a steaming shitpile. It was far too much new code stupidly rushed for the holiday season. I remembering installing it being a roll of the dice even with the same hardware. It would work, then it wouldn’t, then it might work with some odd issues, then it deffo would not at all. Hours wasted trying.

I really did try, but never had a good experience with WinME and I know of no one else who did. Even first Vista was better (though saying that makes me shudder).

I had someone hijack my account last year, Like a dummy, I had failed to setup 2FA. I caught it in the morning after they worked it most of the wee hours. Phone and email had been changed. I contacted PP and to my surprise they were effective in righting everything. By the end of the day, it was corrected. I was absolutely shocked they were so helpful, but I guess it can happen. So, maybe try again?

Thanks for this. I enjoyed the discussion. I still managed Solaris up until a couple years ago. I could still login if I cared to, but others manage the mothballed environment now. I was super mad how Oracle killed them. Still mad as I think on it.

There was. It was with the real Biden. The second one was with the alternate Biden (SHE IS BIDEN!!!).

Partly because he says everything so forcefully and appears to be a convincing person. It’s all a sham obviously.

A very confident liar.

Former presidents are still called president.

But it still makes me wince.

Yah, 1985 was nearly 40 years ago!

Of course, and over the loudspeaker too! More fun tidbits are the radio playing nothing but breakup songs, the little brother with his “hobbies”, Booger pondering the street value of the mountain of “snow”, mom learning how to make French food (Peru!) and dad always getting the young-folk phrases wrong. The jokes are littered everywhere. I will also always remember Taylor Negron’s performance as the disinterested and careless mailman (RIP).

Obviously I love this film.

Yes. It is a wonderfully fun movie.

Not sure how all that can be separated out meaningfully as it is the platform being used and advertisers have expectations based on whatever agreement has been struck between them. Maybe I misunderstood. Perhaps the difference in your example is a user acting versus a bot? Intent probably comes up somewhere as well, but I am not a lawologist. 🤷‍♂️

My understanding is that the contractual agreement with advertisers is that they pay to reach ears. The ads did not reach any ears as promised which could be equated to fraud.

TIL about the Darth Valley Challenge. Thanks for that!

Yes, I know sites want all the clicks out there and I did note OP matched the CNBC headline as per the rules. Perhaps a better article exists with a less sensational headline? A brief search proves they do. Something like this:

Medical Errors Are No. 3 Cause Of U.S Deaths, Researchers Say

Or this:

Medical errors are the third leading cause of death’ and other statistics you should question

OP’s article is from 2018 and my links are from 2016 and 2023 respectively, so this isn’t exactly new news. Ultimately, OP should be sourcing a better publication that does not sensationalize the news, but I would embrace a ‘no clickbait’ rule to better cull them out, too.

Is it possible to have a “No Clickbait” rule?

Pretty please???

Nature will castigate those who don’t masticate!

I also would like it not add to the comment count. I am now getting inured to comment counts of “1”.

I generally like the bot and its intentions, but feel it inaccurate with my perception too often.
