I guess I’m not surprised enshittification of physical objects is becoming more of a trend than an oddity, but it’s still happening sooner than I expected. :/

You could almost call it… a mouse trap
(I’ll show myself out…)
Per hour? It’s all a blur to me at this point.
War crimes “in honor of Shabbat”? I hope any remaining diaspora members of conscience who haven’t already been troubled by all this are hearing about this framing. Both horrific in its malevolence and a misrepresentation of Judaism all in one go!
Thanks for the link. Not a bad distraction! I hope there’s a large catalog in case I want to treat it like the random Stumble button of yore (which I must have hit hundreds of times at least).
StumbleUpon was the best. I do miss it.
All I can think is how incredibly shameful it is for this kind of behind-the-scenes bullying to be happening, but the persons responsible apparently must not see shame in it somehow…?
Thanks, that sounds more like what I thought I heard about them before (though I think there’s a touch more regulation in Canada, even here I know it’s still predatory and should be avoided).
Seems to me it’s because so many people don’t have coherent political ideals of their own and are just identifying with this or that player or team. Lack of media literacy and the corporate control of mass media play into propagating this problem further, though it starts with upbringing, much like a religion.
There are ways to debate political issues without tying anything back to political parties. For a long time now, we could have used more of that both in schools and in the media.
Do payday lenders (like Money Mart or whatever) not charge fees unless someone is late on a payment? I honestly don’t know how they work. I was under the impression that similarly, the only way Klarna and the others made money was by late payment fees since whenever they come up in a checkout it always says there are no fees (which I take to mean if payments are on time).
Condemn single mothers while promoting only “traditional families.”
Should be: Condemn single mothers instead of absent parents.
Usually for a poll like this, they would make invitations to targeted respondents and provide them with secure anonymous access when they agree.
It seems like the message is not to ignore them? I’m not familiar with this artist though so I’m not sure why there’s no further comment/context about/for the first character’s choice…
My first thought before reading was that it’s a shame of course, but not a surprise. While reading, I didn’t see (or missed?) if charges are going to be laid in this case. Maybe they’re just gathering info on who to charge? Surely there have to be existing laws that suffice.
I tried to find where Haaretz wrote about STOIC (as referenced in this article), and instead came across an article about STOIC having had a campaign to influence lawmakers. (It’s paywalled, but the comments section is interesting.) There’s also a headline off that page about a march of nationalist Israelis through “the Palestinian area of Jerusalem,” chanting:
“Death to Arabs.”
We all like to joke about cats leeching but they’re definitely not Capitalist. They’re hunter gatherers for whom the concept of hoarding resources doesn’t exist. To them, when there’s plenty, you vie for it all within the social group (seems there are hierarchies?) and no one has to go hungry and there’s no waste (including wasted energy). This also preserves plenty of leisure and social time.
If raised in an environment where it makes sense to hunt and you encourage them to do so, they’ll happily contribute what they believe to be palatable food. If left alone, reasonably fit cats can fend for themselves too if necessary.
They’ll take what shelter they get and bury their waste so it can fertilize the ground.

Regnier still works from home one to two days a week, and has been even more lenient with Santander’s 19,000 UK staff, with office-based workers only expected to be onsite two days a week.
“I don’t think it’s absolutely vital that people spend all five days a week in the office as they did pre-Covid,” Regnier says from his sixth-floor office near Euston station in London. “And, actually, had it not been for Covid, I wouldn’t have accepted this job, because I wouldn’t have wanted to be away from home five days a week in London. That wouldn’t have been good for the family or for me.”
This has helped Regnier, who is paid £3.3m to run the UK’s fifth-largest bank, gain a reputation as an “approachable” boss, according to a former colleague
Nobody should be paid that much but he’s an outlier for the industry in allowing hybrid work at least.
Yup! I don’t read most spoilers but I at least know we’re finally getting into some long-awaited lore. :)
We’ve almost made it now. 1115 is coming very soon. :')
Not one that required a subscription to operate, but I’ve heard those are out there too.
