Anyone can pay $150 to become a dues-paying member and rub elbows with the court’s nine justices at events like the dinner where Windsor spoke with Alito. (Tickets for the dinner were an extra $500.)
this is all it took for him to admit this stuff? anybody with 650$ could have walked in and asked him a couple prodding questions? these guys really arent even trying to hide it anymore
where’s the creamy filling

personally i’m a fan of tearing off everything except a small corner of a napkin
yeah this is true. i should have clarified a bit better that a well ordering wouldn’t give you a “least gay” person in that sense of the word. it would be more correct to say there is a well ordering ⊰, and so there is a “⊰”-least gay person. but of course a “⊰”-least gay person could be in the middle of that spectrum.
but the number of people on earth is finite, so in fact the usual ordering is a well-ordering in this case. so i guess those two mistakes i made cancel each other out, and the axiom of choice isn’t even needed here.
oops. you’re completely right. i forgot there are only a finite number of people on earth. there is a gayest person
a consequence of the axiom of choice is that every set can be given a well ordering. and well orderings always have smallest elements, but they may not have largest elements.
so there is someone who is the least gay, but there may not be a single person who is the most gay.
i forgot for a second that the winters and summers get flipped in the southern hemisphere
it is possible to rigorously say that 1/0 = ∞. this is commonly occurs in complex analysis when you look at things as being defined on the Riemann sphere instead of the complex plane. thinking of things as taking place on a sphere also helps to avoid the “positive”/“negative” problem: as |x| shrinks, 1 / |x| increases, so you eventually reach the top of the sphere, which is the point at infinity.
personally, i would go with “prior meeting”
its so tiresome to have all these services constantly made worse. these days it feels whenever a new thing comes out, it has about two or three years before it’s run into the ground in pursuit of the almighty dollar.
and this kind of thing is also happening to movies/tv shows/video game franchises. it feels like no matter how good it starts, you only get (at most) 2 or 3 sequels before the executives get their hands on it and run it into the ground. sure there are exceptions to this, but they are few and far between. and its becoming even more common for shows/video games to simply disappear if the parent company decides to remove them from online stores/streaming platforms.
all around, it just feels like things are becoming less and less permanent
this is what i do when im feeling mischievous and want to annoy my family in the morning
it’s worth mentioning that very rarely is baby formula better than breast milk. the contents of breast milk change depending on the what the child needs at the moment. it’s really sick that some companies market it as a better option than breast milk
i had this problem the first couple times i tried playing it. and i also didnt really like the visual tint the game had going. but eventually i think i just got to be like a frog in boiled water where i didnt really mind the visual effects and gun play stuff anymore. i also think the hbomberguy video was helpful in motivating me to commit more to giving the game a proper chance, but idk it might’ve just been that i played it at the right time.
but at the end of the day, it’s fine if the game isn’t for you. i think it’s a fun game and all, but it does have some short comings and (visually) it hasn’t aged that well. and who knows, maybe the game will resonate more if you try it again at a different stage of your life.
this reminds me of what happened to the instagram cofounders when zuckerberg asked to buy their company:
Systrom [cofounder] said he feared turning down an acquisition offer from Facebook would send Zuckerberg into “destroy mode” — a concern that Cohler [early investor] affirmed.

this stuff came up in a court hearing, and then nothing happened about it
one time i had to call a company during regular 9-5 business hours to cancel a subscription after starting a free trial.
that experience was so horrible ive since sworn off free trials altogether. nowadays, if i need a free trial to use an app or website for a couple days, then i will simply not use that app or website.
I could care less about the price of concert tickets.
i can see that based on how much you’ve argued against lowering ticket prices
i dont really see how this answers my question. it seems like you said “i’m not arguing against government action” and then proceeded to argue against government action.
and aside from that, it seems like what you’re advocating for is this brutal world where companies are always trying to test you to see how much you’ll put up with. and in this world, every single purchase you make should be interpreted as saying “i can take a little more exploitation before i reach my breaking point”. is this really a world you want to live in? how is that better than asking the government to keep companies in line?
i’m having trouble understanding how
All we need is for people to stick together but instead we get people like you crying to daddy government about how unfair it is.
is compatible with your earlier statement:
I’m not arguing against government action.
could you explain that to me?
