This is like seeing a kid take another kid's pencil and the other kid shoots the thief and you say "both did wrong here." Sure, technically. But one did way more wrong, no?

It's because they're for a niche now. I don't remember them breaking the bank when I got them. More expensive than Levi's sure but they definitely added a zero.

My town let some kids go around and paint stuff where graffiti usually pops up. Zero graffiti. They do a little upkeep so it doesn't fade and I haven't seen tags in a decade.

I'm not sure what your argument is here but it doesn't seem solid. How is a reviewer supposed to do their job?

    After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year ( www.billboard.com )

    When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...

    Tidal is your friend

    zaph ,
    @zaph@sh.itjust.works avatar

    This is why I went for Tidal:

    Tidal takes a look back at a HiFi Plus subscriber’s top streamed artist at the end of every month, and then allocates the direct payment to that listener's most played artist. Qualified artists who enroll in the Direct Artist Payout program will be able to collect the payouts allocated to them on a monthly basis.

    But they recently changed their pricing and I'm no longer paying 20 so I'm not sure if they still do that or not. I have heard good things about napster too.

    Were those protests taking over buildings and assaulting people while locking students out of campus spaces?

    I remember molotov cocktails.

    As the reporting from the ground is showing, these aren't primarily students either. They're agitators being paid to cause problems.

    Arrest reports have confirmed the media lied and the protesters are primarily students and faculty.

    Softer things don't crack as easy as hard things when you hit them. Think lead vs tungsten. If you smash a lead ring with a hammer it'll get misshapen but won't shatter, hit a tungsten ring and you've got metal shards all over the place. (sorry if tungsten is the wrong metal for the example, kind of an old memory)

    New York prosecutors in Trump's hush money trial say former president continues to violate gag order ( apnews.com )

    Prosecutors said Thursday that Donald Trump again violated a gag order in his hush money trial, as the criminal case resumed on the same day that the U.S. Supreme Court weighed whether he should be immune from prosecution for actions taken during his time as president....

    the president could not be prosecuted unless he is first impeached and removed from office by Congress

    Are you taking it too literally or am I not taking it literally enough? Whenever I see stuff like this it never registered that the author is trying to say landlords shouldn't exist just that the people who call being a landlord their job are a problem. I've rented a lot throughout my short years and having a landlord who has some extra property they're trying to make a buck off are pretty decent it's the ones who treat it like their 9-5 I've had problems with.
