Is there anything in the rules about where the online cancellation has to be housed? I can totally see shady businesses hiding it in a part of the site that’s not even on their sitemap and noindexed just to keep people from finding it.
Arbitration is overwhelmingly resolved in favor of corporations. The company pays the arbitrator, which means they will generally rule in their favor if they want to continue to be hired. Complainants get a fraction of the amount of money they’d get from a court case from arbitration, and it keeps the public from knowing what the company did. That’s why so many companies are trying to force arbitration clauses on consumers.
It’s speculated that the reason why Steam backed down from their clause in this case is that it was getting too expensive for them. Paying so many individual arbitrators and lawyers was costing them way more than resolving a single class action lawsuit. Hopefully more companies are forced to come to this realization in the future.
Edit: Article about why they may have removed the clause TL;DR Valve doesn’t want to deal with 50,000 separate court cases at one time
You have fallen through reality into the Trekrooms.
Seriously? I just got mine done using the paper method and it was so annoying! Hope this is still around in 10 years.
I’m looking at it the other way. He’d probably use it to fundraise and rally his base. Better to delay so he can’t juice it.
Hanging around the chive flowers in my garden this morning and loving watching all the little bitty bugs! There was a honeybee, sure, but also lots and lots of sweat bees and parasitic wasps and butterflies and ants too.

Dan Savage coined the term “gold star pedophile” in a column years ago, referring to people who acknowledge their attraction to children but never act on it by harming a child or accessing CSAM. I do feel bad for these people because there are no resources to help them. The only way they can access actual therapeutic resources for their condition is by offending and going to jail. If the pedophile goes to a therapist and confesses attraction to children, therapists are mandated reporters and will assume they’re going to act on it. An article I read a few years back interviewed members of an online community of non-offending pedophiles who essentially made their own support group since no one else will help them, and nearly all research on them is from a forensic (criminal) context.
Don’t get me wrong - I think offenders need to be punished for what they do. I unfortunately have a former best friend who has offended. He’s no longer in my life and never will be again. But I think we could prevent offenders from reaching that point and hurting someone if we did more research and found ways to stop them before it happened.
Everything HR does is for the benefit of the company. They do not do anything to genuinely help employees. You are a replaceable cog and the moment they decide you’re not useful, you will be tossed out. Never trust them or the structures they put in place.
This is what I did. Works fine for my needs. My older relatives hate it but they rarely come over.
I was taught assembler in my second year at school
It’s kind of like construction work

Not an incel but someone on the trans-and-women-hating pick me pipeline: Got into a fight with a Reddit mod about autism. I’m autistic and ended up arguing with a sub’s mod about how not all autistic people are special snowflake tumblerinas. Left such a bad taste in my mouth that I stopped going to the sub, which was my main source of hate content. Let me get exposed to other viewpoints and ultimately I came out as nonbinary after previously saying nonbinary people weren’t real.
Awesome. Do something about the slave labor prisoners have to do in some states next. Then maybe fix commissary account fees and prices. And make sure prisoners can get mail, including books, since some prisons are banning that now. Prisons are currently an insight into exactly how hard corporations would screw us all over if they had more control of our lives.
Especially now that they’re harvesting them for blood.
It goes both ways. I just leaned over and said “mrrow” to my cat, which she immediately responded to with her own “mrrrrow”.
Exactly my thoughts. Adobe is not the police and they should not be the ones trying to deter crime by any definition. How many horrible things have governments done to “protect the children”?
Last I tried, I had serious issues using it on Comcast’s billing pages and Quest Diagnostic’s site, among others. The pages would not load at all until I went to Chrome.
I’d be glad to switch back to Firefox, but websites straight up don’t work on it anymore. That was the only reason I went to Chrome.
A disorder is something that interferes with your enjoyment of life. While I’m proudly autistic and don’t have any issues saying that, I also recognize how it makes my life more difficult.
My sensory issues, stims, and social problems do interfere with my life and did even more when I was a child. I’ve been discriminated against for being autistic by a boss who tried to say that not making eye contact meant I was bad at my job. I’ve had to seek accommodations at work, which I wouldn’t be able to do if it wasn’t a disability
I appreciate your optimism but your perception is wrong. It very much is a disability and those of us living with it know that.
