Don't forget adjusting for inflation and real money being given back not some shitty gift card

The code states that “male students’ hair will not extend, at any time, below the eyebrows or below the ear lobes,”

Does this mean you can't have hair on the back of your head too? /s

Basic EEE strategy (embrace, extend, extinguish). For example, take XMPP. It was a wonderful federated chat protocol. Google joined it with its Google Talk application. All was well. Until it wasn't. You see, Google added some "new features" that could be used only with the Google talk app and account. So people flocked to it. All is still well. But then google decides to close the gates - Google Talk is its own thing now and you can't talk to people on other servers or with other apps. Take what hapoened wit XMPP. Google embraces XMPP with Giogle Talk. Google add some shiny "new features" that are exclusive to Google Talk (extend). Google cuts off XMPP access to other domains other than the Google Talk domain, thus finishing the extinguish phase.

Just replace Google with Meta/Facebook/Zuckerberg, Google Talk with Threads and XMPP with ActivityPub/Mastodon/Lemmy and you can see how it could happen. The XMPP Wikipedia page has it covered very well, and there's a dedicated Embrace, extend, extinguish page on Wikipedia if you want to read more.

But if it knows everything, it knows nothing. You cannot discern a lie from the truth. It'll spit something out and it may seem true, but is it really?

Bonus points if they are jaywalking because they have the right of way.

What does this even mean?

I can't see how Unity increasing prices is anti-competitive. If anything, them going brainfuck with fees can only serve to open the market to new players. Also, I doubt they'll be able to make the fees retroactive, at least for games that won't get updated.

Not to mention 99% of sites being ad-ridden bullshit while serious responses on forums tend to be short, sweet and more educational than searching

Imagine Nestle executives finding a time machine and going to all of history's most famous persons' mothers and telling them how they can't breastfeed their kids.

Someone should definitely write a book about that

Can you elaborate? Don't want to sound like an apologist, just genuinely curious

I guess it might be possible since there isn't something like a catalytic converter for tires (or brakes) and they could also be including EVs or bikes etc. which would inflate the figure

Isn't preaching (i.e. telling people how to think) the basis of all religion, especially christianity and especially catholicism?

No, just make it a permanent cookie to reject so if the cookies get deleted (as they usually do) you're back to being tracked
