facebook's housing ads have been in violation of the law for years but they dont care because home sellers want to be racist so what is facebook to do they have to break the law if a customer wants it

cartoon network told the rick and morty bar to gently caress off. they are, of course, acting the victims

quote:

Wubba Lubba Dub PUB was designed by fans for fans, though we think everyone would have enjoyed it. It was a labor of love and included hand sewn Meeseeks from our CEO Angie’s mother; graffiti work by an incredible artist; a 25-foot Ruben cut out by our Special Projects Director, hockey-referee-turned-craftsman Matt Fox; and deep references to a show that has made us all laugh out loud and confront the deeper meaning behind the gags. In a word, we are fans geeking out.
Turner Broadcasting/Cartoon Network wasn’t willing to let us do that and demanded we shut down. We then reached an agreement, and thus delayed for a week, but they changed their minds, threatened us with exorbitant fees and then took everything off the table today and refused to talk any further. The whole time we were operating in good faith and willing to make concessions to bring this wonderful work of fan art to life.
Now we have to lay off our beloved employees and take a massive financial hit, all because Turner Broadcasting/Cartoon Network are unwilling to figure out a way to let a great fan tribute happen. We are so sorry to all the fans but we also have learned a valuable lesson: when it comes to free speech and fair use, Turner Broadcasting/Cartoon Network believes that should only be a joke on the show.
If you have something to say to Turner, see handles below:

american educational system, post-capitalism hellscape, and masculinity culture and norms leads to lots more sadbrains which can require treatment and strong elevated stress about everything and physical toll of working 2 jobs, 50+ hr weeks and sitting on cars for too long, not having money and stressing over bills, children, etc. weak environmentally protection laws leading to poor people needing more asthma treatment, and so on. good diet and exercise does loving wonders and will stop or slow progress of a lot of physical and mental illnesses and aches, but again mostly only if you aren't working long hours or multiple jobs and already slightly well educated. most people aren't.

also if you completely hosed up your 0-50 years (sometimes outside of one's own control), there's basically nothing that you can do to save yourself by that point and turbo-hosed and will need continuing ttreatment

i have kaiser permanente they've mostly anti-opiate/depression/etc medication and instead often tell people to exercise and many people complain about that. they aren't wrong either but often completely miss there are many forces which make america a bad place.

Not to mention that being genetically predisposed to hypertension and high cholesterol means you will almost definitely get those things, diet and lifestyle changes will just stave them off for a while.

The number of conditions with occurence rates in the 1-5% range that require lifetime medication (epilepsy, asthma, eczema, thyroid problems, diabetes, arthritis) is quite high.
