Uhhggg, didn’t know that. Been too long to get a lawyer to force the hospital to save video footage? In this day and age, I’d find it hard to believe they didn’t have cameras everywhere.

You put it on.

Sounds like grounds for a lawsuit (against both the hospital, and whatever agency he worked for) if I were you. You were handcuffed & no danger, so that’s cruel & unusual punishment right there.

YUM

Nice sly reference to the company owning several well-known restaurant chains.

Yum! Brands, Inc. (sometimes called just Yum!) is an American multinational fast food corporation. Based in Louisville, Kentucky, the company operates KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Habit Burger & Grill, and several technology companies. Yum! is one of the world’s largest fast food restaurant companies in terms of system units. In 2016, Yum! had 43,617 restaurants, including 2,859 that were company-owned and 40,758 that were franchised, in 135 nations and territories worldwide.

2016? Guess Wikipedia hasn’t updated this one in a while.

Yes, but it’s not applied to your equipment, but rather your wallet.

Say “fuck it!” I do so enjoy saying that word.

don’t worry, Search was set to SafeSearch: Moderate

Wimp!

Obviously because they’ve finally mastered managing their own pair.

Hey! You washed my scent (and loose fur) away! Now I have to mark the blanket as mine again.

“Representative democracy” - representative of the control freak rich holding the purse-strings that have long financed the vast majority of election campaigns.

It’s gonna take getting rid of a LOT more than him to even start fixing what ails this country.

There’s a reason I called this a nightmare.

I’m torn - do I buy a Vizio before they change the OS in hopes of being able to put a FOSS OS on it, or do I abstain to avoid financially supporting them?

Just call the removed ones “Strongly suggested” instead of recommended. Done - at least until we manage to rid ourselves of this nightmare.

I like to take a gander at something (or someone) that’s pretty.

Grrr!

(No, GOOG, that’s not grrreat!)

No, advertisers know how to manipulate your train of thought to start thinking that way. You know how they make sure the same ads (or very similar ones with the same taglines) are seen innumerable times? That’s not only because they’re trying to be the first brand you think of when you want something in that vein, but because they’re taking advantage is the fact most people who are without prior knowledge otherwise (which is why they’re so big on targeting the young) will start to believe what the advertisers are saying is actually true – without proof – if they hear it enough.

Humans aren’t naturally very prone to critically thinking things through – our brains are still those of animals who operate on instinct & preconceived notions, which the advertisers are trying to program us with.

Control freaks never stop, they just reboot & try again.

Yet another lesson NOT learned.

As old as that game is, I can’t believe it’s still being referenced today.
