You have an old favorite team-up of Germany and Japan?

I've got some bad news for you...

Wasn't there also the thing where he offered a horse to a masseuse if they'd give him a happy ending? A couple days before the story broke he made some statements supporting Republicans then said "watch the left come up with a story to take me down now that I'm a Republican," or something like that. All his political shit has been downhill and ever more unhinged since.

He was always saying side-eye worthy shit, but in a generic rich guy way. His political stuff, before the horse thing, was always progressive-ish. Whether that was what he ready thought, or as the biggest shareholder of an electric car company he knew which side his bread was buttered on, I'm sure I don't know. But it seems like trying to preempt the horse story was the turning point for his public persona.

Yeah, I'm probably being too optimistic.

That might be their outlook on "local" pollution for a while, but you don't think going from 20 years left to centuries to live might affect their opinions on global climate change?

To me it looks like the green from the iris bleeding in due to low resolution, not yellow.

Might be the only way to get them to give a shit about the environment.

I've known a couple of vegans that wouldn't eat it. One was disappointed to learn a drink he liked contained it. But he stopped drinking it.

Do I want to know what a virgin boy egg is?

I wonder how much more it would cost to just donate or throw away your printer every time it runs out of ink and buy a new one. Printers are sold at a major loss to lock you into their ink. It might be worth the expense to know your costing these pricks money.

Talking to other people is part of what I mean by seeking things out. If you do all you can to avoid ads, along with the 99% that are useless you also block the 1% that you might actually find useful.

For example; I recently heard about this show from a friend that is right up my alley. When I looked up a trailer it's the kind of thing that seeing a commercial once would have caught my eye and ensured I watch it. She was surprised I hadn't heard of it because it's on a network with a few shows she knows I like and they've been pimping it pretty hard for a while. Because I block the bullshit I either have to hope cool stuff comes up in conversation or seek out new stuff elsewhere.

Where on lemmy did I suggest that?

 

I apologize in advance of this is too basic a question for this community.

I just learned about lexisnexis and went to their website to request my report, opt out of everything I could, and request my information be deleted.

Are there any other companies like this I should be aware of so I can make the same requests there?

If it matters, I'm in California and it's my understanding that I have a few more rights concerning this sort of thing than some others do.
