Thou'rt kind to imply that Trump's conservative lackeys once had the knowhow to parse a written news article. You cannot underestimate their intelligence. May justice be served.
So long as people keep doing business with them they have no reason to change,
You seem to imply that it is the responsibility of members of the general public to control the behavior of a corporate entity. The American body politic has delegated—to its three branches of government—the responsibility of making and enforcing laws and dispensing justice.
As an individual consumer, I have neither the resources nor the inclination to assess what degree of risk that I undertake when I bring my custom to a supplier of goods or services.
We rely on our institutions to regulate the behavior of the players in the marketplace. It is not incumbent that any private citizen must do the work that would be necessary to bring a company such as Hertz to heel.
Society is much as a jungle. We elect zookeepers to defang the commercial beasts who go to and fro seeking whom they may devour. Our duly elected representatives have committed their lives to that fight for the sake of our benefit. Fie upon the notion that I should have to exercise my own mettle to tame some outrageous beast.
You show me where it says Hertz can’t define a mile as an three and half inches.
It's in every dictionary on millions of bookshelves, under the "mile" entry. Hertz can't unilaterally assign arbitrary definitions to frequently used words.
Paxton...will willfully misunderstand a clear-cut (and unanimous!) Supreme Court decision
That assessment is kind. The reality is that Paxton is a goddamn liar, and he knows that the people to whom he lies are too stupid to figure out the truth.
Got to love the article headline "Texas Attorney General Kicks Ass!" posted at texasattorneygeneral.gov
Utterly devoid of self-awareness and far beyond farcical.
A related argument by supporters of the Pro Codes Act is that the SDOs provide a valuable service, and therefore they deserve a revenue stream
The people who support the Pro Codes Act should consider that it is a privilege to be involved in the determination of the regulations that define the characteristics of our society's infrastructure. And they're already bending the rules in their own favor, when they make those rules. Now they want to get the public coming and going? There ought to be consequences visited upon folks whose behavior is motivated by naked greed.
cops taking their pants off before abusing people’s rights
Cops aren't in the habit of dropping their drawers before they abuse people. They walk up to the rolled-down car window, rip open that Velcro fly—krriiiiisshh—
Pray to not hear the sound.
mega corps like Blue Sun, Weyland-Yutani, Tyrell, etc. ruling over everyone and being omnipotent while the reality is they would really be drowning in debt and run by incompetent morons
Unfortunately for most people, our present-day megacorporations are "run by incompetent morons" while also "ruling over everyone." Our so-called meritocracy rewards the crassy and ignores merit.
Key, actual fact, the overwhelming majority of people actually transphobic are those of the Abraham myths.
That doesn’t imply causality, Mr Factual Accuracy. If it is true, then it is true merely because those of the Abrahamic myths are the majority of the world’s total population. Thus, the formula “the majority of people who are ____ are people of the Abrahamic myths” will remain true for a most assertions (if they are unrelated to the myth system of one’s parent culture; of course “the majority of Hindus are people of the Abrahamic myths” would be false ). For example, “the majority of trans people are people of the Abrahamic myths” is most probably true.
the morons here spew hate and venom if you like to have sex with other men and are not squarely in line with Lenin
You have your ideologies backwards. It is the fascists who are intolerant of homosexuals. We socialists view LGBTQ+ and all people as one common family of man, who deserve equal rights, respect, and love.
After listening to consumer feedback, we are going to offer the ability for borrowers to transfer their Netflix profile into their own account
After listening to my mowerless neighbor who borrows my lawn mower, I am going to offer him the ability to use his own lawn mower.
and for sharers to manage their devices more easily and to create subaccounts (“extra member”), if they want to pay for family or friends
Using subaccounts will make management less easy. Now is the time for fat cats to foot the little guy's bill!
We’ve landed on a thoughtful approach to monetize account sharing
If you're approaching monetization, then you shan't land on anything thoughtful. On the contrary, to root about for ideas by which you might squeeze money from other people is to be as a shiteating animal who delightedly roots about for faeces.
Are you suggesting there’s some room for ambiguity in the term “full self-driving”?
There is no ambiguity in the term "full self-driving car." It is a full car which drives itself.
Maybe they meant fully self-driving car since "self-driving" is adjectival, thus if one means that the self-driving is full, then one uses the adverbial form of full which is fully.
