How will local/state prosecute it?

The crimes are on the federal level and pretty sure they'll receive pardons.

I know a bunch of people who love their foldables.

I guarantee you though that Apple will "invent" a foldable phone in a few years and you'll use a different Steve Jobs quote to shower praises on Apple.

I see a lot more hate, election-denying, conspiracy, racist, sexist tweets.

I guess, for some people, this is an achievement.

Timing is also not great IMO.

We're just getting out of the pandemic and people are excited to be outdoors.

I wouldn't want to spend time in the Metaverse after all the lockdowns and travel restriction during the pandemic.

I left in 2017 after having to spent over 10 years in the Bay Area.

It was bad then and pandemic made it worse.

So many closed shops on Market St/Union Square area.

Walk a few blocks West and Tenderloin looks like doomsday. Lines for soup kitchens, tents, drugged-up and mentally-ill people walking like Zombies.

So you boil water, add coconut oil then add rice.

How would this work in a rice cooker?

It's not a free product. This transaction is over $10K. Users (developers and clients) deserve customer support for this kind of transaction.

The crazy thing with these companies are they say you violated the user agreement but doesn't mention what specific policy you violated.

Isn't every lawsuit an unproven claim?

Are you proposing that the media should stop covering lawsuits?
