No, it was the result of Gawker publishing Hogan's sex tape against his will, then ignoring a judge who ordered them to take it down, then publishing an article gloating about how they were ignoring the judge, then - when it went to trial again - telling the court that they'd happily publish a sex tape featuring a five year old. These guys were scum and they committed legal suicide - it was not inflicted upon them by Thiel even though every single story Slashdot publishes on this subject tries to spin it this way.
It was some really entertaining stuff, though, you have to admit. Sad Hulk Hogan banging his buddy's coke whore wife and then Peter Theil, who is really, really gay, using the Hogan case to punish Gawker because Gawker said, quite correctly, that he was gay. Streisand Effect gone wild.
Thanks, brother. I actually had to think for a solid 15 seconds to come up with the "Promises made, promises klept" line. I'm proud of that one, if I do say so myself.
If you read the article and the rebuttal statements from the FCC, it appears this is the new policy:
You will still be able to file an "informal" complaint, but those are the ones that just get forwarded to the spam folder at the company you're complaining about and ignored entirely by the FCC.
However, if you want to file a formal complaint to the FCC, you will be required to pay $225 at the time you file your complaint, which will then be forwarded to the spam folder at the FCC before being completely ignored.
If you want to form a complaint that won't be ignored by the FCC, you must be a registered lobbyist for the telecom industry, be a member of a Trump Country Club, or god you must be new here, get the fuck out before we call security.
These plastic guns though... how many children can you murder before it breaks? That's the important bit. I mean, if you're a psychopath that has to surround yourself with guns to feel safe, who knows what could set you off, so you really need that information while you're relatively rational.
You make a good point. Plus, MAGA hat wearing school shooters are probably not really equipped to 3D-print anything, since they need buttons like "POPCORN" on their microwaves or they wouldn't be able to figure out how to use them. Plus, it much easier just to go down to the local Florida Guns'n'Liquor drive-thru and pick up an AR-15 and a 12-pack of PBR.
This is great news for the school-shooting industry. I expect that the NRA and Second Amendment activists are thrilled at having these new tools to murder children.
My apologies, the job numbers are not the best in history, just the best in nearly century.
Half-century. Look again.
Also, I notice that wage growth has slowed since Trump took office. More jobs were being created during Obama and wages were growing faster. In fact, since the passage of his highly-touted tax cut plan, wages for most US workers have actually shrunk.
Still existing? These are the blueprints for creating Baby Bells out of mother Facebook. If they are broken up as a monopoly, you still need a nationwide backbone to interoperate on and even spur new competitors.
As long as the people in power believe they can use Facebook as a mechanism to allow foreign governments to interfere in our elections on their behalf, ain't nobody gonna be breaking up Facebook.
It could happen, but it's going to have to wait for a Democratic administration and congress.
So you're claiming that the increase in price of the 100 products wouldn't have happened without Trump?
No, I'm saying the pharma industry thinks Trump can kiss their ass. They got their tax cut so fuck him and fuck you.
HRI projects 2019â(TM)s medical cost trend to be 6 percent. This is consistent with the previous five years, which have seen trends between 5.5 and 7 percent.
It was a 10% increase, which they have been doing twice a year since Trump got elected. Give it up, son. Trump won, you lost. So suck it up, buttercup.
As for Kim Jong Un and Vladamir Putin, the situation with the former can still go in any direction as nothing has happened beyond the meeting,
So, if I understand you correctly, you are confirming that Trump's great meeting with the all-important "handshake" had absolutely no effect except to lend Kim legitimacy and make Trump look like an absolute tool for getting taken to the woodshed by a boy. That's a compelling argument.
This link says that Trump said two months ago that there would be cuts in the coming weeks, but so far things are business as usual. Maybe you should let the policy be implemented before implying that they were implemented and backfired?
Trump makes the announcement and THEN Pfizer raises prices on 100 drugs by 10%. They're playing him for a stooge, just like Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin. Trump thinks he's looking tough and he's being taken to the cleaners on a near-daily basis.
The feat is performed with the assistance of Versius, the world's smallest surgical robot, which could be used in NHS operating theatres for the first time later this year if approved for clinical use.
Socialized medicine is good for innovation. Meanwhile, in the United States, the cost of prescription drugs has gone up again after President Trump announced new policies that would bring down drug prices.
On the whole, the world wouldn't really be any worse off if the top 0.1% disappeared, "breakaway civilization" style. In fact, there is a good argument to be made that the rest of us would be much better off if we simply, and regularly, purged ourselves of them.
I don't blame them for wanting to leave us behind, because we're really not that far away from torches and guillotines. And for that, they only have themselves to blame.

It was a fable for the modern age.
My guess is you will find other ways to be racist. America is a nation of innovators, after all.

The FCC also promises not to come in your mouth.

Well, Trump said he'd run the government like a business. He just didn't mention that the business was Equifax.
You forgot the most important box for you: Shine.
Yes, liberals are well-known for wearing their MAGA hat around the house and during shooting practice.
Sorry, but he was one of yours.
I guess you relative newcomers don't know enough not to challenge me, yet.

Yes, those are called "democrats".

Apparently, your reality differs significantly from the reality everyone else lives in.
Do you think this will work on upskirt photos? Asking for a big, wet, orange friend.
Half-century. Look again.

Yes, the 100 most-prescribed ones. And Pfizer has been raising the prices on ALL of their prescription drugs and average of 16% per year.
They are not. You will find that unemployment was lower in 1929, just before the crash that led to the Great Depression.
I didn't think the part about Putin required a response. He's already gotten everything he wants from Trump.
As long as the people in power believe they can use Facebook as a mechanism to allow foreign governments to interfere in our elections on their behalf, ain't nobody gonna be breaking up Facebook.
It could happen, but it's going to have to wait for a Democratic administration and congress.
If you read the article more closely, you will find that the test group was limited to men with tweezed eyebrows and anal fissures.
What does Facebook have to gain from doing this? They won't gain a single customer from doing that, so why should they do it?

This is one of the most appropriate late-stage capitalism headlines I've ever seen:
There is a lot to unpack there. You could teach a course in post-capitalist economics based on that one headline alone.
On the whole, the world wouldn't really be any worse off if the top 0.1% disappeared, "breakaway civilization" style. In fact, there is a good argument to be made that the rest of us would be much better off if we simply, and regularly, purged ourselves of them.
