No, you’re right. My grandmother hasn’t done much other than complain about “the woke” ruining society and immigrants taking her job (she’s been retired for decades). Pulling her healthcare would benefit society and is also what she’s ignorantly voted for repeatedly.
Pointing out specific instances of hypocrisy seems so pointless at this point. Anyone who cares is well aware. Anyone that supports him in 2025 is either just as hypocritical or too stupid to understand the concept of logically applying a statement to two different situations.
At least they preserved the BSOD acronym.
They haven’t even contacted the people eligible yet, but already have the $177m figure. The vast majority of people who are part of these class actions aren’t involved (or often aware) until after the settlement is agreed upon. It’s based on how many people were potentially impacted, not who signed up. Your main premise is bunk.
We should be demanding more, or refusing to join.
You can only demand more by refusing to join, then suing independently from the class action. Opting out without following up with your own lawsuit is just dividing the settlement up among fewer people without having any impact on what the company is paying out. The settlement is already $177m; why would AT&T care if it gets divided among 100 people or 100,000,000?
Headline:
…how to file a claim today
Article:
For now, there’s no official settlement site to enter your information. If you’re eligible, you’ll get an email or letter over the next few months. Settlement documents say that notices will start going out on August. 4. When that happens, there will most likely be a site to file a claim.
What a clickbaity shitpost.
no one should be initiating or joining any of these class action suits
The only real downside to doing this is losing the ability to sue individually. What’s your success like so far in your suits?
Maybe that’s how we know it wasn’t an intern or ai posting this time.
We bombed Iran before the brilliant president solved everything and declared a ceasefire via off-brand twitter. Israel was doing it after, kinda proving that the ceasefire was bullshit.
I think it’s all some level of FUD until there’s an example of it being called out as a reason for denial. The fields have been on the application for a while, but I know someone who recently came in with a private ig profile and a vk profile that hadn’t been used for anything but chat. Wasn’t mentioned at all along the process beyond being on the application.
That may change soon, but it also might just be rhetoric from dipshits playing to their dipshit base.
Step down into a gladiator arena with a polar bear.
Fair enough, though that’s an ask from the State Dept., not a demand from the embassy, as indicated in the OP. It’s an important distinction because the embassy holds the authority at that point in the process. They can ignore the guidance altogether or demand everyone open their profiles. They’re probably more likely to do the latter now, but they could’ve done this two years ago too.
Demanding the usernames for the past 5 years and being suspect of anyone not on social media isn’t a new, that was my main point. I don’t think many people appreciated how shitfucked our visa processes are, even before the current “administration” helping.
The username requirement isn’t anything new; that requirement was on our DS-160 years ago.
The “wants people to set their social media profiles to public” isn’t quoted, so seems less like an official policy anywhere and more like one embassy worker being a prick. Unfortunately, each individual embassy operates independently totally devoid of any accountability.
This process is dehumanizing, inefficient, and totally fucked…but this particular part of it has been this was for a long-ass time.
There also needs to be punishment harsher than a couple bad headlines and $600 worth of identity protection services. If they have personal data, it should be more expensive to have it leaked like this than to have adequate data security in place.
This article’s a week old already. The lawsuit was “moving forward” and “advancing” per articles going back into May, so that’s not a great example of something happening.
This particular article wasn’t contributing anything new when written, and posting it now is just re-regurgitating the same stuff that’s already been out there for weeks. Their point is valid.
The anti-abortion stuff makes a lot more sense when you realize that pro-life is just a front, and the real reason they want more babies born is it results in more minors being brought up with questionable parenting that they can prey on.
It’s in a technology community but isn’t really about technology. It doesn’t contain much useful information (the post would be a better place to share what TWC is than assuming I’ll be curious enough to join a Zoom session). This is straight up spam.
And “anti-law enforcement agitators” = non-whites who don’t want their children kidnapped.
Total non-issue. I’d be surprised if anyone can provide a single credible instance of this biting someone in the ass.
We the jury find the defendant: “not guilty.”
