Band or label probably revoked streaming rights on Google Music.

Seems pp rolled this “feature” out to USA only due to our lax regulations on privacy. Another user (in Canada) pointed out the option was not seen in Profile & Data

I updated title, thanks

Page mentions “Notice of Amendment(s) to the United States PayPal Agreement(s)”. So it’s likely US only (for now).

If you don’t see the “Data and Privacy” option to opt out on their website or app. Then it’s likely they are not sharing your data, yet.

US has been playing catch up for decades. FedNow was implemented in 2023 to allow instant P2P payments between banks thereby eliminating the need for PayPal, Cash App, Venmo, et al.

It will take some time before we see banks make this fully available to everyone and subsequently merchants using it.

What is everyone’s temperature about the situation here? I have never lived in a hurricane prone area like Florida.

If I was basing it completely on national coverage, I am getting the impression that any region in the path of the Milton will get flattened by sudden sea rise. Even the AP article paints a grim picture:

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — A steady rain fell in the Tampa Bay area Wednesday morning as a mighty Hurricane Milton churned toward a potentially catastrophic collision with the west coast of Florida, where some residents insisted they would stay even after millions were ordered to evacuate. Stragglers face grim odds of surviving, officials said

However, looking into it more and trying to be less emotional. Florida’s emergency management system is issuing evacuation orders for many counties in Milton’s path. But some “inland” counties like Polk have no evacuation orders despite adjacent county, Hillsborough, having mandatory evacuation orders [1].

Then if you navigate to the county level (ie, Hillsborough). Only specific zones were issued mandatory evacuation. At this time, residents of Hillsborough county in zones “A” and “B” (and all mobile homes) given mandatory evacuation. People in other zones advised it was optional [2].

What did we observe with Helene? Were these local government evacuation orders completely wrong and devastated areas that previously had optional evacuation?

Where do you think the FBI gets their domestic terrorist intel from 😂

it’s just a drill, bro 😂

Hotter than the surface of the sun by a factor of ~18000.

Hotter than the suns core by a factor of ~7.

People talk about Icarus flying too close to the sun. Motherfuckers are recreating it in labs 😂

I have been making contributions to the sub I created. Posts occasionally reach the fp with some upvotes and comments.

I haven’t been active lately tho

Bro I re-created that sub here a couple months back. Hasn’t caught traction yet

Reminds me of the comments and general view towards all Muslims in USA post-9/11 (Sept 11, 2001).

The Daily Caller is a right-wing news and opinion website based in Washington, D.C.[7] It was founded by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and political pundit Neil Patel in 2010.

OP blundered. Article shitty, definitely cherry picking here.

The source is at least cited as this piece of research by some assistant professor at “Southern University of Oregon” — https://sou.edu/academics/economics/faculty/

Above is only an abstract. Looking to see if I can get the full paper with data. Something is definitely off.

This research design has some crucial limitations. First, almost every major city in the United States had a protest during the Mike Brown era, implying that I am comparing large cities to relatively less populous cities. Second, the reasons for participating in BLM protests may be related to future police behavior. For example, protests are more likely to occur in cities where more Black people have previously been killed by the police (Williamson et al., 2018). Therefore, if BLM protests are precipitated by a police shooting, police misconduct, or strained community-police relations, then the course for future police behavior may have changed regardless of the protests.

Author of paper even acknowledges the weaknesses in his methodology and seems to think those weaknesses are addressed by his “battery of robustness tests” performed on the data.

My initial thoughts: if police are not doing their job because of “BLM protests”. Then isn’t that on the police? Because police can’t kill people without impunity, that means they can’t do their job?

Just need to sneak in this code

if (facialMatch(elon)) { haltAndCatchFire(); }

Counter point: If I didn’t hear how badly he runs his businesses, or how bad his company’s products are. I would have easily bought one or more of his products.

I have backed out of Tesla pre-orders because of the bad publicity, many reports of bad build quality, and terrible business decisions.

If this was a puff piece, I honestly wouldn’t have bothered posting it.

Hold up, you mean that market in the middle of nowhere (like Kansas) with “fresh caught” fish was not caught by my local fisherman.

Shocked, I tell you 😂

If you want to get away with murder in the USA, use a car to kill your victim.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a majority of those casualties in the USA will be in Florida and California.

Many of the major insurance companies stopped issuing new home owners policies in those states because it was no longer profitable or very risky. IIRC, increasing housing costs and frequency of these events was the main reason they pulled out

Terrible. These events are increasing in frequency and lasting longer due to man made climate change. Immigration is likely to skyrocket over the next decade.

Yet leaders of the world are slow rolling doing anything about it. O&G has collectively earned trillions of dollars in profits while fucking up the environment.

We need radical environmental change now. But unfortunately it appears people won’t change their collective habits (ie, heavy reliance on cars in the 🇺🇸, continued development of suburban sprawl, …)
