Can you elaborate on how and why Israel is such an important ally? It’s got to be more than just a foothold in the region, surely?

Doesn’t matter where they’re from, or what language they speak, or even particularly what the laws are in your country: The far right are criminals, every single fucking one of them.
I mean if they don’t submit the votes on time, proceedings must proceed without them. That is not disenfranchisement by the proceeders, but by the election officials who cannot submit their jurisdiction’s ballots on time. Next time the residents of the county can ensure sane and competent people get those roles, if they want their votes counted. Simples.
What do you call a medical student who graduates bottom of their class?
Doctor.
Also, Cs get degrees!
But then they’d have to spend money on shoes to send to Russia, instead of not paying their lawyers!
Like the custom endocrine systems of combat sleeves in Richard Morgan’s Altered Carbon edit: I think I was thinking of Iain M Banks’ “Culture” series actually, but both are worth a read! Need to be strong or fast? Just give yourself a little squirt of adrenaline! Time for slow heart rate and low energy use? Slow-release a skoche of acetylcholine.
You make a good point about subscriptions. The repo when you stop paying would be pretty grim.
Accurate. In order for this to stop the punishment needs to be more than the cost of doing business. Thankfully, Valve seem to be hell bent on doing right by their customers, in most cases at least (just to leave room for scandals I haven’t heard about or forgot 😅)
If you think that an arbitration company isn’t going to end up sympathetic to the people signing their cheques after some amount of time in operation, I’m afraid I have some bad news for you. Even if the loser pays (and that’s not a guarantee, some companies foot the bill regardless to make it seem like the better option to the consumer), it’s still the company contracting the arbitrators and the consumer doesn’t get a look in on that, so future business is absolutely an incentive to put the thumb on the scale. “After all, both parties agreed to be bound and waive their right to trial, so what are consumers going to do?” is the logic. Most will drop it after losing arbitration, and there are savings on court costs there too.
I don’t assume arbitration wraps up in any arbitrary amount of time (🥁). I say it’s quicker than litigation because it is, every single time. Because it is quicker it is also cheaper, every single time. Small claims court is different again, and not at question here, just to head that off at the pass.
You however do assume a lot like my location and the location of the suit I brought though, based on my vernacular, and I’d recommend against that. “Mate’s rates” could put me in the UK, or Australia, or New Zealand, or even some places in South Africa and other former colonies. None of those would be accurate.
If you push everybody into arbitration, you’ve already got the arbitrator in your pocket and your costs will still be less than litigation in 99% of cases - even class action. I don’t think you understand just how long and expensive and unpredictable litigation can actually be, but I’ve brought suit before so I do. It took four and a half years to get an initial court date from first filing the complaint. Not the trial, just a date so the judge could hear the facts of the case and opening statements from attorneys. Four and a half years of paying my attorneys, as a private individual, with a lot less money than you might think. And they were giving me mate’s rates; I’ve worked with companies where the legal work billings were in the tens of thousands per day for a single participating law office. That shit is expensive.
Maybe Valve did this to fuck their customers, but they don’t really have a track record of that, and since in the majority of cases arbitration is without question an anti-consumer move, I’d say that if your aim is to paint Valve to be the villains for this then it’s going to be an uphill battle.
Arbitration is always cheaper and faster than the courts, because the courts are very backed up especially since the pandemic, and there’s a lot of admin cost which doesn’t exist in arbitration. That is why almost every other company is trying to force arbitration. So if the goal was to save money, forcing court would have the opposite effect.
If he’s decided to block reporting on it, it’s real.
My Gul isn’t very friendly at all, he keeps trying to genocide pastoral societies, is he broken?

You’d do well to remember that words can have multiple meanings and connotations, or you’re gonna have a bad time with English.
Of course, if you could provide some kind of evidence that “attack” was at any point ever used to mean only physical violence and nothing else… you’d still not have a point because languages change over time and “attack” could legitimately gain new meanings that it did not used to have.
But that’s not relevant because you won’t be able to provide that evidence, because “attack” has never been used only for physical violence and physical violence alone.
Literally right there with you bud. Same boat, exactly, to a T. My sister is a healthcare provider herself and couldn’t find a therapist for me in my network who specialises in adult autism, and is taking new patients.
They’ll call me when they have space. In the meantime, I smoke a lot of weed and don’t blame myself too much for my meltdowns, if I can’t remove myself from the stimulus in time.
I have no doubt that @TucciVuitton had never felt oppression in her young life.
I wonder how long that lasted for her.
Meanwhile the cat will kick the thuckerin’ thuccotash outta anyone who looks at him cockeyed.
My brother, you have made it. Congratulations. Now all you gotta do is return it, every day, with interest. I don’t think that’ll be too hard, somehow 😊
Check out some trailers for Falling Frontier, it looks like it has a lot of potential at least.
