Our new Samsung would stay on in stealth mode after we turned it off, and scan the network it was on every few seconds.
We discovered this because it would occasionally screw up and switch itself fully on in the middle night. It's now plugged into a wall switch which is turned off every night. And sequestered on a network where it won't see anything interesting 😬

Trump's unlisted source appears to be ... (checks notes) ... his ass 😐
Also interesting to limit whatever data to 12 states. The world's a leetle bit bigger than that 🤏

Cats know when you're speaking a foreign language. I tried talking English to random Dutch cats and they look at me like I'm nuts 😔

But the victim is fond of blaming everything on Soros, so I suppose it's the best way to show sympathy and support 🤷‍♀️

There's something very wrong with a system where we have to choose between an 82 year old conservative Democrat and a 77 year old fascist.
There really needs to be more choices.

Is that the "adult" section or the horror section? 🤔

They're happy to see the world burn, so long as they expect to survive a little longer than everyone else.

That "church" was always the people manufacturing (and profiting) from it. The prior prosecutions were for local salesmen, usually outside of the US.

And I'll agree that these rules were probably not explicitly written to exclude Black children. But they were written with absolutely no thought of Black children, and it's now apparent that they have a discriminatory impact.
That's exactly why laws have been written to prohibit this situation, especially in a context where a fundamental right (to an education) is being unreasonably withheld.

It certainly is discriminatory in multiple ways, but what matters is that some of them are violating rights as a result of someone's identity in a protected class.
It's also not solely down to what looks professional. It's a matter of how differently textured hair behaves, which in turn has driven what is currently acceptable in different cultures.
It's easy for White hair to conform with those rules. Whereas Black children are left with few and often unreasonable options.

It's a rule which was created to conform to conservative White traditions. Black hair and related cultural traditions are often very different.
By demanding that all children conform to a White tradition, many Black children have to choose between abandoning part of their ethnic identity, or being deprived of an education for keeping a sensible Black hairstyle.
Individual application of the rule is not necessarily racist. But the rule itself is still systemically racist.

I just wanna know when vegetables stopped being part of a healthy diet and transformed into an obscene indulgence reserved for our betters.
