Comment Re:"If plaintiff didn't read her contract ..." (Score 1) 68

I'd be fine with this. Recently Audible removed a book from my library and essentially told me to kick rocks. I'd listened to it when I first got it, and although I wanted to go back and check something in one of the chapters (which is how I found the book was no longer available), it's not the end of the world: it's just $15 they stole from me.

Suppose you bought a load of bread at the grocery store. A couple days later, you come home for lunch and get ready to make a sandwich. You find that your loaf of bread is gone, and your bank account has been credited, all without anyone asking you. Would you be ok with that?

If you buy something, it's fine for the seller to make you an offer to buy it back from you, but it should be your choice whether or not to take that offer, not theirs.

I'm glad you got to have kids and watch them grow from birth. I never got to do that; I married a gal and the boys were already ten and eleven years old when I entered their life.

I agree. I think a second benefit could be that interested high school (or college) students now get a data source that doesn't change locations from administration to administration. It is mildly frustrating to me that many government websites simply change where things are each year. Worse is when a department goes through the amazingly beneficial operation of name change. /s

How old are you? North Dakota hasn't had temperate rainforests in the last million years or so. Or as Gemini states:

No, North Dakota does not have temperate rainforests, which are characterized by high rainfall, high humidity, and dense vegetation like mosses and ferns, often found on the Pacific coast or in mountainous regions. Instead, North Dakota's dominant forest type is deciduous, with a few patches of specialized forests like those in Gunlogson State Nature Preserve, which features bur oak and basswood, and juniper woodlands found in Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
What is a temperate rainforest?
Temperate rainforests are found in areas with high rainfall and humidity but cooler temperatures than tropical rainforests.
They are characterized by a lush growth of epiphytes (plants that grow on other plants), such as mosses and lichens, which thrive on trees.
Vascular plants, including lush ferns and berry-producing shrubs, are also abundant in the understory.

"Stolen" clearly indicates you are just repeating the MSM cover lies to cover up their "all the hallmarks of Russian Disinformation".

It was NOT stolen, it was ABANDONED by Mr Biden (the crack addict) at a repair shop.

If you think Russia propaganda has any influence on 162 Million voters enough to change anything (2024), please keep spewing that opinion.

Guilible is believing 51 Intelligence Agents trying to debunk a crack addict's laptop. But that was the exact case that actuallly swayed an election. In fact, it was called "Russian disinformation" at the time, when it wasn't.

The real disinformation came from our own government, our MSM, our social media.

Russia is a nothing country with Nukes. That is the ONLY thing that gives them any strength. Pakistan might have just as much influence as Russia at this point for the same reason.

If the money is going to Neo-liberals like Hakeem Jeffries, Elizabeth Warren, or Nancy Pelosi, then it's going to be wasted. They're simply trying to bring the United States back from Fascism to its former state of Oligarchy.

I guess I'm confused, how is reversing-away from fascism bad?
