The genie's way out of the bottle with sports betting. Nonstop ads, branding tie-ins, billboards, podcast ads, on and on.

And it's terrible and going to destroy sports.

I would assume it's to hire more lawyers.

If it's simply not blocking this answer, then it's a win. Doing nothing is better than actively breaking the law.

> The Trump administration has until November 6 to answer the senators.

How convenient that this is right after the midterm elections. If they maintain control, the republicans can simply decide to ignore this requirement without penalty.

Wouldn't want any of that pesky true climate-change-proving data available, now would we?

It's a bubble.

I'm sure they'll release this one as soon as the release the Roadster introduced 9 years ago.

Oh no, it's been years. At least the last 10 or so. They usually have either cookies or pretzels, but usually both and if you ask nicely they'll give you the cookies. Two if you look emaciated.

American serves them too.

There is no winner in a race to the bottom.

People are just shrugging and going back to it.[1]

It's really disheartening.

This is absolutely not a "both sides" thing. The owner of the network is spending record amounts of money on getting Republicans elected this cycle (and last). The idea that his social network would do anything counter to the whims of the CEO or his pal is utterly laughable.

The first point is by far the most important. The US healthcare system (and probably others) is an unfeeling machine and you have to treat it that way. Ask for earlier appointments, cancellations, and referrals to other specialists. Navigate it as if nobody knows (or cares) what you're up to. Doctors tend to only exist within their silo and it's often on you to request a different type of doctor or even another one of the same type. Be a pain in the ass, your survival may depend on it.

Personal story: I was having trouble using my left arm. Like, couldn't lift or type or do much of anything with it. Was told it was a pinched nerve by physiatrists and orthopedists, despite having no pain. Only when I specifically requested for a referral to a second neurologist did he order the head MRI which exposed a brain tumor in my motor cortex. We were able to move quickly and get me on a treatment plan which has bought me a lot of time. Had I not advocated for myself, it would have probably mutated into a much worse type and killed me soon.

Fair point. "It was rigged against me, but I still won because of how great I am!"

Two scenarios:

1. Republicans win in midterms. Trump: "I defended democracy!"

2. Republicans lose in midterms. Trump: "The election was rigged by the evil Democrats!"

Recall that the whole basis of the Jan 6 insurrection was that he made the same "rigged" claim. He's already laying the foundation to claim "rigged" this time too, unless it conveniently benefits his party.

Wipr2 is amazing.

Spec bump and AI stuff that nobody needs or wants. All for a higher price. Total yawn, I'll keep my current ATV 4K as it's everything I need.

Maybe a mid-level scapegoat or two will go to prison. Definitely not the ones at the top. God bless America

Is there this implosion's version of fuckedcompany.com?

Yep, system working as intended.

I think it will only ever have one winner. They may win it again next year (clearly spreading peace throughout the world), but they will be the GOAT for FIFA peace prize winners.

It also dies in the darkness of a takeover by billionaire with an agenda.

There's always FIFA to give out a prize if necessary.

Rest assured that I still refuse to call it X, it's so stupid. But I couldn't pass up the opportunity in this instance. :)

In the "Notes" app on the iphone, there is a note which says "msg me on X". Back then, it was Twitter. Boy, I hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

Now THAT'S how you name a model. Take note, others.

Calm down, it's from Shrek.
