  • Shit, I’m even grateful for when you all tell me off.

    Oh fuck off!

    Just kidding! I haven’t seen any of your posts here (mostly because I sort by all) but yeah the people in this sub are top tier.

    A few weeks ago I came here to ask about building my own computer and which parts to get because it had been years since I’ve done so and everyone was nice about it.














  • I’ve requested confirmation and have only gotten it once or twice.

    What I’ve started doing is actually just sending them their same exact terms via their corporate registered address (regardless of their instructions) with the arbitration clause and jury trial waiver and just about anything I don’t agree to removed. I tell them so long as they continue to provide the services to me, that they implicitly agree to the terms I’m sending them, with any further updates requiring them to send a registered (not certified) letter.

    I intentionally do not provide any way for them to identify my account except for the return address.

    I figured if I ever had to go to court, one of these things would happen:

    • judge finds that the original terms are enforceable, which means I’m no worse off
    • judge finds that my amended terms are enforceable, which means it worked
    • judge finds both terms unenforceable and I can continue to sue them

    So far, no company has ever written me back or turned off my access to the site.

    I suggest everyone do this because these forced arbitration clauses are very anti-consumer and we need to start clawing back our rights.


  • The GOP has shown, and proven, they will use any and all means necessary, including violence, to gain power. This isn’t theoretical anymore.

    I’m so tired of my family members and other people that identify as “centralist” saying that both sides are bad.

    No…only one side has used violence to overthrow an election. And that side’s political leadership said it was “normal political discourse”.

    If both sides are the same, then you should be upset that “both sides” are violent.
