I hace been using noscript for like 15 years now. In my experience, it comes down to recognizing what is a required and superfluous or privacy invading 3rd party. Some websites can take me a while to get working, but I have had very few which I cannot figure out.
You assume that the governments of which you speak are not assisting intentionally. These companies did not write the EULA legal frameworks that allow them virtual carte blanch to take and do whatever they want just because the population is trapped in the endless cycle of coercion that is our life.
Why do all of these companies decide they are so tired of existing?
Yup. I shop at Walmart out of desperation. I had stopped entirely for years after hearing that they have members of staff who go around from store to store to help get employees on food stamps. That and that they tell manufacturers what the price will be. That is not how commerce works.
My solution to the government assistance issue is a pretty straightforward answer. Revise corporate tax codes to include a reduction exempt line item that totals 2x the total value of all government assistance received by employees. Do not pass go, give us your $200. Food stamps exist to help families who are struggling, not as a corporate subsidy.
Good not-a-bot. Thanks for the updated info. Bookmarking it for when I get into arguments about how the moves Amazon is making towards fully automated fulfilment canters is a death knell for the economy or why I refuse to use self checkout.
The word you are looking for is “Oligopoly”
And yes, they should. Our laws focus on Monopolies, but the big boys figured out a long time ago that if they let a single major competitor exist that the government cannot really touch them. This is why Target and Costco exist and Walmart does not do everything in their power to stomp them out.
This is why I use a script blocker to block the scripts from marketing domains. From what I have been able to see the cookies aren’t written because the code that writes it is not allowed to execute. It also stops script injections and other malware payloads that require extra-domain linkages to scripts.
Honestly, it is just an absolutely stunning shot. Perfect timing, great depth of field, just the hint of your breast, and the droplets of water against your hair look like stars. I miss doing glamour photography. It was always fun to just play with the model and the camera to see what worked for her. This is a sublime example of a successful shot. I would 100% be framing it on the wall of my bedroom were it mine.
Plus all the political stuff. The man is patantly off his rocker.
That is actually intentional. They do it to restrict refunds on Steam and consoles.
Incompetence might even be a little harsh. Inexperience or incompetence maybe. I prefer inexperience.
Your estimate seems a few orders of magnitude low. I once had an Econ 101 professor who said she recognized that I should think about going into marketing as I would be good at it. I responded “Nah, I prefer my soul right where it is.” Little did she know it was already on the short bus headed for hell as I am agnostic and will enjoy the conversation with other righteous nonbelievers.
Aside from 3 you are essentially creating Stumble Upon.
I always apologize to the server when I am checking out and opt for a custom 10% tip or none at all. It is not their fault the company they work for feels it has no responsibility to pay for them. I explain this and sadly shrug. My company is not paying me enough either and I cannot afford to subsidize some other company. They usually smile and nod. It is unfortunate.
This website may be the sweetest thing I think I have seen in a very long time.
It’s not. Thanks for the concern.
My landleech padlocked the basement and attic of the house I rent. I keep a large screwdriver for exactly this eventuality. Something goes wrong in the basement and that lock point is done for. Just slip it in the gap around the padlock and pull. Will only take about 200N to rip the thing off the door and I can get way more than that with a little bit of leverage.
I play Rimworld and Factorio. Those are 200 hours per playthrough each and I do about 2 a year for them. My Steam Deck helps a lot with the latter though. The UI for the former unfortunately does not lend itself to the smaller screen even though the game plays well.
Your idea is one of the specific reasons many companies try to label everyone as an “independent contractor”. Especially people like voice actors are not “employees”, and thus do not count as such for your idea.
