>This week, the Anaheim City Council voted to make it a crime to lie down or sleep on public sidewalks and benches. People who violate that law can be jailed and prosecuted with a misdemeanor, according to the ordinance. >“The sidewalk belongs to everybody,” Councilmember Jose Diaz said, according to the O.C. Register. “Not to an individual who wants to grab that piece of land. It’s not yours to grab. You either take services from us or you get out.”

>Chilimbi says the first step toward AI agents will likely be chatbots that proactively recommend products based on what they know of your habits and interests, as well as a grasp of broader trends. He acknowledges that making this feel nonintrusive will be crucial. “If it’s no good and annoying, then you’ll tune it out,” he says. “But if it comes up with surprising things that are interesting, you’ll use it more.” >Future AI agents might, for instance, navigate various websites to sort out a parking ticket, or they might operate a PC to file a tax return.

This case is quite similar with Disney+ case. You press 'Agree', you lost the right to sue the company.

Transcription via user I CAST FIST >Quoting the text for easier read to everyone: > The desire to exclusively engage with media and art made by "unproblematic" artists is a direct result of Americans viewing media consumption as an inherently political act because that is the supreme promise of Western prosperity and the religion of consumerism, and that's because it's seemingly all that's left. We've been stripped and socialized out of any real political energy and agency. Our ability to consume is the only thing remaining that's "ours" in late capitalism, and as a result it's become a stand-in for (or perhaps the sole defining quality of) every aspect of being alive today - consuming is activism, it's love, it's thinking, it's sex, it's fill in the blank. When the act of consuming is all you have left and indeed the only thing society tells you is valuable and meaningful, the act must necessarily be a moral one, which is why people send themselves down manic spirals deciding what, who is "problematic" or not, because for us the stakes are that high now.

Up against a ‘ghost network’ for mental health care? Here’s what you can do.
Is in network with your insurance plan. Treats the condition you are concerned with. Has good reviews. Pick 2. I have Autism Spectrum Disorder (Level 1), Generalized Anxiety Disorder with Panic Attacks, and Major Depressive Disorder in Partial Remission. Ghost networks are the bane of my fuuuuucking existence. You know what's monumentally hard to do when you are a depressed autist with high anxiety? Endlessly and fruitlessly search for care related to those conditions. FUCK insurance companies, and FUCK Republicans for propping them up.
