I've been trying to find a replacement for my ancient screen and the closest I've been able to find is this sketchy Korean monitor that happens to have a TV tuner https://www.newegg.com/products/9SIA2RY50E5294

If you opt it in and then we can translate that into better serving you in many different ways. And so there are real benefits. And so you won’t see us shying away from trying to continue down that path, but you will also see that we will continue to lead the industry in terms of how consumers can find out what we’re collecting, specifically what we collected, what we’re going to use it for, and how they can turn it off if they don’t like it. "real benefits" you say, hmmm

my current job doesn't really pay bonuses -- like we sometimes get a little extra kick some years that kind of functions as a bonus but thats it but they do actually give raises, even if they have a huge complicated system for doing that to hide the fact that the global raise is a set amount and they need to distribute it in some way that people feel their performance matters and won't notice the sleight of hand an old job gave out bonuses, but they were completely horrible about raises and after a couple years I discovered how arbitrary the whole process was

In one message obtained by The Enquirer, on newsstands today, Bezos wrote: “I love you, alive girl. I will show you with my body, and my lips and my eyes, very soon.” In another pillow talk exchange, on May 13, the horn-dog billionaire wrote: “I want to smell you, I want to breathe you in. I want to hold you tight.… I want to kiss your lips…. I love you. I am in love with you.”

Then they had, alongside, a line of the same TVs that were 100% assembled in asia, 25% cheaper. literal patriot grift operation
