“The Onion was the highest bidder[…]”

Literally the point of the suit is that The Onion was not the highest bidder. From the article:

The exact bid amount offered by the Onion for InfoWars remains unknown, but it has been reported it was lower than First United American’s bid of $3.5m.

The victims of Jones decided it was better to get less money and not allow the brand to go to one of his allies to continue the usual operations. They are saying that even though they effectively own the brand, that they don’t have the right to choose who it’s sold to.

There is only one way this should go, but…

The buy page literally lists videos and music as being part of what you’re buying with Prime, and unlimited storage for photos and that twitch sub are also listed benefit if you click the view more button.

I don’t know why that would be considered “free” since they’re literally advertising those things.

How are any of these things “free” if you’re paying to get these “free” features?

Adverse possession isn’t that simple, and laws regarding it vary by state. In this case, it appears to be Washington state, which requires a number of things that indicate an uphill battle for anyone trying.

Among other requirements, it needs to be uninterrupted (occasional activity doesn’t count), exclusive (the true owner doesn’t use it) for ten entire years, notorious (impossible to miss if you ever are on the property, we’re talking anywhere from fencing it off to building an entire house on it) and hostile (without permission).

So in reality, if I already owned this, avoiding adverse possession on this property is as easy as visiting it once every 5-8 years and telling them to quit the area if they’re trying to elbow their way in (which resets the 10 year clock).

So yeah, not as much a free land grab as one might think.

No. Some positions have cabinet-level ranks (not press secretary) like chief of staff, but being on the cabinet itself requires being the head of one of the major administrative departments. Pretty much any of them can do significant damage with the wrong person installed.

What makes you say that? This one was possibly my fastest completion to date (mind, I don’t do these religiously).

Yeah, very handy for bots. People, however, tend to have online identities or personas that they will try to carry forward on account names they create.

Burner accounts notwithstanding, of course.

Inside Job was also renewed until it was suddenly rugged, so I’m not holding my breath for anything Netflix produces until it actually airs.

Skin of my teeth on this one, though it’s the first time I’ve played it and maybe the third I’ve played a wordle-like game. Spammed vowels and consonants for most guesses and started filling in the answers. Top right was a total punt, though.

Asking honestly: do you think doing so would change anything?

I don’t know how willing you are to use a different app, but Sync allows me to block entire instances and it was the first thing I did.

However, you’ll still see their comments on non-blocked instances, so your mileage may vary.
