Lol, I’m not sure what’s worse. Using an LLM to summarize and article for you, or not even reading the article and assuming you know the contents by the title. Fucking people…

I don’t know. Trump’s actions against the Pope recently might actually embolden him to take credit for it.

It’s actually much worse (for us, not them). From the NBC article.

Live Nation said the jury’s award of $1.72 per ticket "applies to a limited number of tickets—those sold at 257 venues, which represent about 20% of total tickets—and only to purchases by fans (excluding brokers) in certain states over the past five years.”

“Based on that scope, we believe the aggregate single damages figure would be below $150 million, which would be trebled,” the company said. “In connection with the DOJ settlement, Live Nation has already accrued $280 million toward state damages and civil penalty claims. Injunctive relief will be determined by the Court after the states make a remedy proposal, which we expect in the coming weeks.”

So, even though $4.3 billion is pretty paltry against their annual revenue of $25 billion, it’s potentially MUCH less because the scope is so limited.

The jury found Ticketmaster had overcharged customers by $1.72 (£1.27) on each ticket sold over a period of several years. That figure is set to be used as the basis for calculating damages.

So… this was a waste of time, then… No one was complaining because Taylor Swift tickets were a buck and some change more expensive…

The sum of all human endeavor can be summed up in a fun little madlib:

My (god, penis, wealth) will (kill, fuck, buy) your (genetics, wife, life).

Feel free to swap things around as needed.

In that situation, I kinda have to say the priest is the architect of their own awkward judgement. They would be labeled a hypocrite because they aren’t practicing what they preach. If I’m in Willie Jane’s Dildo Emporium and I see my buddy Steve, I’m just gonna be like, “Bro, what’d you get? I’m tired of the Ass-assin 2000, and I was thinking of going to the Hole Shebang Turbo EX Plus Alpha. Any thoughts?”

The world would be a lot more fun without the clergy.

Yeah. I wish we could go back 3 years before this boom started and everything cheap…

In March, Carville admitted he had “Trump Derangement Syndrome” and hopes to hate the president even more.

Fucking based.

Same, friend. Same.

I’ve got a bottle of rum set aside for exactly this situation, and goddamnit I could use a drink.

Yeah, I’ll get right on that.

Goddamnit I’m so sick of him. Holy shit. Not in a “How can this get any worse,” kind of way. I know it can get much worse. It’s just the grease of his fingerprints on every aspect of my FUCKING BEING. I can’t take a breath without hearing something about him and I think it might legitimately be driving me mad.

Edit: Peel the orange.

The police investigator obtaining the warrant wrote that Moore told the nursing staff: “I know my infant is suffering, because I am the one who did the abortion. I want her to die.”

That reads like planted testimony, and if it comes to court, it needs to be VERY well stated that it is a 3rd person account, and not a direct admission of guilt.

Three different reasons. One, gathering facts and being able to present them to the world as they happen so the people that aren’t there can understand. The second is to show the horrors or war so the people that aren’t there can understand. The third is to twist the narrative so that the people that aren’t there can feel whatever way the propagandist chooses.

I think your butt plug has gone sour. Time to change it.

The trust. It eroded.

That tracks.

Edit: Jesu Bambino you all are ridiculous. Honestly, I have no idea if it’s AI generated or not. What does it really fucking matter in this context? Should I replace it with a photo someone took? Does it need to have a watermark? Should I only post photos of cops I’ve taken myself? Holy shit, I’m done. The image stays. Don’t like it, shove it up your ass for all I care. Downvotes to the left.

So, basically a movie?

The average age of a first time parent in the US is around 27 right now. The iPhone is nearly 19 years old this year, and Facebook opened its gates to anyone over 13 right at 20 years ago. That means these first time parents were below 10 when these came out, and they likely grew up in a world where social media consumption on handheld devices was very common. So, when they are supervising their children, they aren’t doing it from the perspective that these things are bad, they are doing as though they are normal, because for them they are. This is what I mean with children of smokers become smokers. If its normalized around the house, it doesn’t matter how much policing is done, it’s just a part of your life.

In related news, children of smokers more likely to smoke.
