I will never understand why Japanese 7-Elevens are so wonderful, but the American ones are so shit.
One of the great joys of traveling in Asia is comparing the subtle differences in product selection available at 7-11 stores in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and so on.
No trip to any of these countries is complete without checking out a 7-11.
sigh
I just had an experience that illustrates the automated detection and appeals problem.
On a post by the America’s Cup on Facebook there was someone leaving links to a supposed livestream of the race on a dodgy site (despite the fact that it is completely freely available to watch on the official YouTube channel). These scams are fairly common with any livestream found on Facebook (I have even seen them on academic lecture series). I reported two links as spam: both by the same person with exactly the same content.
I just got the results back: one was removed because it was clearly spam. The other was not removed because “careful checking has shown that it does not violate our community standards”. Again, these are the exact same messages by the same user and clearly linking to a dodgy site with an .xyz domain.
I have appealed the second decision. I have no doubt the appeal will be denied.
Welp… how about all the other comedians who doubled down?
His age was the most important thing to put in the headline.
But his language still doesn’t get it - you can say things - but actions have consequences and affects people’s opinions of you. His feelings were hurt because people disagreed with him and he struck out in response
Yeah, like it’s only the boomer comedians who have been whinging about “wokeness”… Dave Chapelle’s is like 50…
Yeah, but still slightly better than the double-down.
Seinfeld has been explained at me since I was 10 and he was relevant… But I just don’t enjoy that kind of comedy or his whole persona. Nice they threw his words in his face at the end there though. And really sexualizing everything is a form of sexism so maybe dumbass should be apologizing to his daughter.
I can’t help but feel cynical.
He’s probably just sorry now that naked antisemitism is a threat again but everyone else is/was a snowflake.
Yeah, he’s never been my cup of tea either, frankly. I’m just hoping that others follow suit and stop acting like being a bigoted asshole constitutes “comedy”…
More on Cop City:
“They’re just pushing it [the case] along for as long as possible, to cause as much harm as possible to the 61 defendants, and to the movement in general,” he added.
As for the Swat-style raid last May, he said: “It seems clear the police who conducted the raid were not trying to respect the constitutional rights we had – they’re not only willing to violate our fourth amendment rights, but didn’t even seem aware [in court] that we had those rights.”
At least it has a suitable ladder and harness points, the view is pretty good too.
