it absolutely doesn’t.
Especially when you represent yourself as an expert or medical professional.
what these clinics are doing is medical fraud and malpractice… for the purpose of preventing women from getting lawful access to medical care. It’s downright vile… and 50k fines is not enough. There should be jailtime.

Honestly… even before the meltdown, content was mostly crap.

For kbin/lemmy to be useful; it needs to be its own thing. Emulating crap is just crappier crap.

the only content on reddit is bots reposting shit… and Spez playing the sad trombone.

wait… you can do that?
Can I learn this power?! how does one learn this power?

macgyver always carried a few slices… in case he needed an industrial sealant…

But we like the dark.
Darkness, for dark deeds.

• it’s a reuben, with pastrami, swiss and pickled red onion (in place of sauerkraut) on rye.

Two slices, you say?

well, if it’s your personal mac and you’ll be taking it with you, it’s difficult to see import taxes being a necessary thing.

It’s more the… if a group of people can’t get “good” hardware because of export controls … legally… some might take a shine to yours.

Also, you gotta be careful with macproducts some places.
Especially if they have export controls (Doubt turkey does, being nato,).

First video game I remember playing? Short Order on NES (with the pad.) That was followed shortly by monopoly- also NES.

First game I beat? was dad’s copy of Zelda (NES,) Which… I wasn’t supposed to be playing. I got caught when I saw my dad was struggling with the water temple.
“Dad…dad DAD. you go here. get that. Do this. And then do this that and this.”
“Oh. Cool. wait. how do you know this?”
“Oh i beat it last week.”
<awkward pause>
“you better pay attention. that’s the boss.”
“We’re not telling mom about this.”

511 pants were originally meant for mountaineering type stuff, but found their way into uniform supply for cops and security guards. you can probably find them (and similar) pants at uniform supply stores that cater to those types (as apposed to the nursing supply store. Whose pants are equally comfortable… just saying.)

they, uh, have pockets.

please tell me there’s a highschool football team in that minivan?

BDSM parlor.

context is important. in a waiting area or lounge, they should be okay with it- especially if it’s the kind of place you’ll be waiting for hours.

visiting your inlaws? people are weird.

and remakes.

Kaspersky. Back when the russians started getting weird with things, and kaspersky… got dubious… I canceled my subscription and switched to a different AV. when it was about to expire, they sent a ‘we’ll automatically renew’. So I tried to log in- my credentials were invalid- I use a PW manager, so no. It wasn’t a bad password-
the password reset option wouldn’t work (literally wouldn’t send the validation link.)
Called their CS who told me that subscriptions were handled by a 3rd party in the US- Digital River.
Digital river said I should cancel it on their website.
got DR and Kaspersky’s CS on the same phone call. they finally complied and canceled the subscription.
A year later… “Your subsctiption will automatically renew!”

called them again. sent a letter. thought that was that until I saw they billed me anyhow.
tried to call them. they were giving me the run around.

Called the bank. to report fraud.
They were useless until I told them my next call would be FBI’s financial crimes people. Suddenly, that charge back became super easy.

was at a facility that was installing a network for a new build out- I don’t know how many cables were pulled, but they were pulling them twenty at a time, and the final bundle going to the network switching room was… uh… about the size of an enclosed slide in diameter…

… the guy at the box side, whose job was to label and cut was only doing the pull-side labels. They ended up loosing about two weeks on that project.

truck nutz. like. not new (which might be a gag. I did zip tie some onto a friends car once. But, uh, it was a prius, and they were dragging on the gorund.)

Fox wears it better
