They would have to get through the Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission, which is already part of the state constitution after voters approved Proposal 18-2 in 2018.
I suppose that 13 bad actors could be randomly selected from the applications. It’s not statistically impossible.
I don’t know anyone who’s used IRC in the last fifteen years at least.
At least back when I used IRC, it wasn’t indexed either. It was just an alternative to AOL Instant Messenger or Yahoo Chat.
You really think there aren’t any normal streamers on Twitch?
Depends what you’re into. CD sales are more than alive and well in the kpop/jpop circles and there isn’t a lot of vinyl to find there.
In an analog, my college degree required me to read. A lot. Like, I devoured books as a kid, but this was a lot, every week, and it was a required reading. I enjoy it, but I didn’t read after that. I’ve also heard similar experiences from my friends who went to law school, so much reading they’ve stopped reading. My husband knows several artists who go into graphic design and stop doing art in their personal time.
I just last month got back into reading. It’s been over twenty years since college and I just got the ability to read through more than a handful of pages in a book.
When something is work, you don’t necessarily want to do it in your offtime.
Folks who play professionally are often both. I don’t think that’s really all that subjective.
Isn’t indiegogo just like Kickstarter? There’s never a guarantee you’ll ever get the thing you back.
I think my phone was around $1200 when I bought it, so, for me, this is low priced.
I also acknowledge that I bought a flagship Samsung phone. Not everyone does that.
To me, it’s not the AI data that’s the issue. It’s reddit, effectively, turning off all of the API, then selling the data they aren’t producing themselves. I think if any instance owner told their users they were going to start selling things that were posted to their instance, their users would find other places in the fediverse to set up shop.
A nontrivial number of people are more like you, who want this specific music to be played and nothing more. But that perspective, at least from what I’ve seen, is not held by the majority of users. So we get random trash thrown in with our personally curated lists of songs and albums.
I’ve never had Spotify put anything into my curated playlists. They only play the music on the playlist.
Crazy bread was the only thing Little Caesars still had going for it. Now they’re half the size and never cooked through.
I just let 80s/90s Little Caesars stay in my memory now. They used to be the best pizza place. Now Tontinos frozen pizza is better.
Culver’s is on par with high school cafeteria food, tbh.
So… rezone for residential, tear down, rebuild for residential…
Has South Korea moved on from Internet Explorer for their banking yet?
I read your comment and was trying to figure out why people were listening to an 8 year old Korean song, but realized you’re probably talking about something else.
You act like ‘children should be seen and not heard’ was in the distant past.
The return policy is really what seals it for me. I’ve never had an issue with returning something, ever.
Other places make it such a hassle and make you pay to return it.
I know 1 or 2 people buying cat litter every month and having it delivered, but why? Just go to the store!
Subscribing to deliveries typically gives a discount, which makes the cost cheaper than going to the store and removes wear & tear on your vehicles and your own gas costs.
Depending on what kind of litter you want, the store might not even carry it. My cat litter is from a major brand, but is one that doesn’t get as much in stock at my local places and when itis in stock, it’s rarely the cheaper, larger box, so that also increases the cost.
Cat litter is fucking heavy. I don’t blame anyone wanting it delivered to their door.
Can you share some companies that Tencent has done this to?
Not really. It depends on what it is. There are entire games and items that aren’t available in the US, but make a killing in Asia.
Like, here’s Genshin Impact numbers from 2023.
On that game, the US comes in at 7th, is less than half of the top country (Japan) and is notably behind Switzerland.
For Tik Tok specifically, we can look at their annual reports.
Let’s look at average annual users per region. 682M in Asia Pacific, which does not include China. 192M in North America.
China’s numbers are 750M daily.
I don’t think most of their money comes from the US.
