LAWFARE: Disclaimmer on box impacts your rights?

Fridge failures: LG says angry owners can’t sue, company points to cardboard box

Frank Rodriguez in San Francisco says he has been dealing with a difficult LG fridge since 2021. “This one cost me $2,000 and it’s been a nightmare,” he said.
He says it’s not freezing well. Techs have repeatedly tried to fix it, but haven’t. Frank says he’s asked for a replacement or a refund. But that hasn’t happened.
*snip*
LG says it put an arbitration notice on the box. It’s now asking a federal judge to require individual fridge owners to move their case to arbitration — in private. But owners we interviewed say they never saw the box because delivery people unboxed their fridge.
*** end quote ***
I guess “We, The Sheeple” will just have to give LG the “Bud Light” treatment. Tell everyone you know NOT to buy the LG brand. If this goes national, I bet they will back off quickly. Tell Home Depot, Lowes, and all the appliance dealers and I bet the message gets through to the top.
Argh!

INTERNET: State of Texas forgets that the internet is designed to route around blocks

Pornhub pulls out of Texas: World’s largest adult content website restricts access in Lone Star State over Gov. Greg Abbott’s age verification law
- Last week, an appeals court in Texas upheld the law with the battle likely now to rage on. The appeals court did strike down a law requiring users to red a health and safety warning before logging on

The world’s largest adult content website, Pornhub, has blocked users from accessing it and its sister sites in Texas over a dispute regarding an age verification law that the Lone Star State passed in 2023.
*** end quote ***
Now don’t get me wrong, I think PORNHUB is despicable and disgusting.
That being said firmly upfront. Texas politicians and bureaucrats have ventured far beyond the protections of the First Amendment. (We can argue about the “incorporation doctrine” making it apply to the States. But that is the current interpretation.)
It’s also just stupid because the simple use of a VPN can bypass any “location check”.
If you really wanted to do age verification, make the law that “adult material” must be protected by a credit card verification of age, that is technically feasible.
But politicians and bureaucrats are so dumb!

DISCOURAGING: ‘Duty, Honor, Country’ replaced by “Army values”?
Friday, March 22, 2024West Point military academy drops ‘Duty, Honor, Country’ motto from its mission statement – as furious veterans’ slam ‘progressive ideology’ for eroding tradition
- The phrase, which was added in 1998, will be replaced with the words ‘Army Values,’ according to Superintendent Lt. Gen. Steve Gilland
- The lieutenant general claimed the new mission statement ‘binds the Academy to the Army’ while ‘Duty, Honor, Country’ is foundational to Academy culture
- West Point’s mission statement has changed nine times in the past

In the 1962 speech at West Point, Gen. Douglas MacArthur said, ‘The long gray line has never failed us. Were you to do so, a million ghosts in olive drab, in brown khaki, in blue and gray, would rise from their white crosses, thundering those magic words: Duty, Honor, Country.’
WTH does that mean?

Caulfield: Your Overly Brief Social Media Posts Are Sometimes Dangerous
Dr. Byram W. Bridle
Mar 7, 2024
*** begin quote ***
Wow, I have responded to some public requests to address questions about social media posts made by Canadian ‘misinformation’ ‘expert’ Timothy Caulfield, and now I find myself flooded with more requests. And I can’t help but respond to yet another one because the amount of potential harm to the public is too great.
*** and ***
These many nuances place the overtly short and simple comments in the X post into a much more appropriate context, don’t they?
The most important message to all readers: do not take the study that was indirectly referred to in Caulfield’s post, nor the post itself as evidence of safety or effectiveness of COVID-19 shots.
*** end quote ***
This expert really puts Timothy Caulfield in his place as a “misinformation expert” in a long precision point but point critique.
When I read the reporting on the 217 vaxer, I dismissed it as a “mentally ill” individual.
And, when the media tried to use it as an exemplar of anything but mental illness, I thought “agenda driven reporting”.
But, when I read point by point critique Dr. Byram W. Bridle, I was impressed that there was a fellow who no only knew his stuff but could write it in a way that even a fat old white guy retired injineer could understand it.
In short, as Michael Malice says: ““… factual but not truthful.” — Michael Malice @michaelmalice.
There a lot of factoids pitched in the tweet and follow up stories, but the truth is in the critique.
In short, don’t get your medical facts from Social Media.
Unless you too are “mentally ill” with a death wish.
Argh!

INTERESTING: NLRB has begun to end the amateur model of college sports
Wednesday, March 20, 2024FROM 1440 https://join1440.com/
Dartmouth Athletes Unionize
The Dartmouth men’s basketball team voted to unionize yesterday, the latest step in challenging the long-standing amateur model of college sports. The 13-2 vote means the players will be allowed to negotiate on issues like compensation and working conditions, including practice hours. Dartmouth has until March 12 to file an objection to the union.
Last month, the National Labor Relations Board ruled the players are employees of the university after the varsity players submitted a petition in September to the NLRB requesting to unionize. Dartmouth filed motions last week to ask the NLRB office to reconsider its ruling.
The union vote comes amid a broader effort to cut back restrictions on compensation for student-athletes. The NCAA has historically barred college athletes from receiving compensation beyond scholarships (athletic scholarships are banned in the Ivy League) and some related costs of education. The NCAA proposed in December a new subdivision that would allow some schools to enter into name, image, and likeness deals directly with their students.

Well, it’s about time to end the farce of “amateur student athletes”. Everyone in this charade is make a lot of money except the athletes. It’s slavery.

ConspiracyTheories: Do “noses of planes fly through buildings”?
Tuesday, March 19, 2024Trump: “how could a plane (a 767/747) possibility go through the steel”…
- SAGE HANA’s recent stack mirrors what I said prior that Trump said on 911, that a plane could NOT bring down the buildings the building were built to withstand the planes…see SAGE’s stack: https://sagehana.substack.com/p/donald-trump-september-11-2001-i…substack will not allow to past the stack

Stay focused on the one thing.
The live newscast chopper footage of Plane #2 purportedly hitting Tower #2.
Can you do it?
Can you focus on that one thing?
I’m gonna break this down a bit more in the next post. Standing on the shoulders of giants, sure…and adding a few more insights.
::raises hand slowly:: is the shibboleth here.
Off the top of my head.
You are a photojournalist in a chopper documenting a historic “accident.”
Flying around the Twin Towers.
Trained and professional news gathering photojournalists do not zoom in to avoid an approaching plane flying directly at the Twin Towers.
This plane would have been visible incoming on the horizon.
Sure. Maybe it was Dolts Botching Shit.
Made it all the way to the big leagues in the Big Apple. Market #1. NYC.
Whooops.
Trained and professional Gleaming Talking Heads do not mistakenly say that noses of planes fly through buildings as we will hear Peter Jennings saying in the next video.
When I ran some of this last year, I asked if the anchor head voiceovers themselves may have been faked.
When I ran the Day Tapes, I asked if anyone could debunk them.
I want to know what is real. Exactly what happened.
And how it got done.
*** end quote ***
I’m still not sure I believe anything any one says about this tragic event?
There are so many discrepancies.
For me the one that causes me the most consternation is the undamaged passport of one of the terrorits?
That and WTC7’s convenient collapse with all the evidence of Pentagon missing money.
Just all doesn’t add up to me.

Reminds me of the River Road Tavern in Piscataway off Centennial Avenue to have a few quick ones before I had to jump on 287 and race for injinnering skrule up in the Bronx.
Laugh! I miss those easy old days. And the overtime paychecks!
Sigh!
Sadly so many wasted hours and brain cells. If I knew then what I know now, what different world it would be.
Coincidences seem to govern our destinies?

ENCOURAGING: Denis Villeneuve makes an end-of-life wish happen

Dune: Part Two premiered at Quebec palliative care home to fulfil man’s dying wish
- Man died before watching ending of movie on filmmaker Denis Villeneuve’s laptop
CBC News · Posted: Mar 03, 2024 3:17 PM EST | Last Updated: March 4
*** begin quote ***
The work of Quebec filmmaker Denis Villeneuve was shown in a room at a palliative care centre to fulfil the end-of-life wish of a long-time film fan in a special world premiere, well ahead of the official launch.
A man from Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, Que., had an almost impossible final wish when he knew he was at the end of his life. The movie buff said he would like to see the film Dune: Part Two, which was set to be released on March 1, before he died.
He expressed this wish to Josée Gagnon, whose job is to accompany people at the end of life through her company L’Avant.
Sébastien Pilote, a director from the Saguenay region, put Gagnon in touch with Villeneuve, the renowned filmmaker, after she put a call-out on Facebook with the man’s last wish.
*** end quote ***
Noblesse oblige
Nice to see Hollywood doing something positive.
It’s a mitzvah. (Nine out of ten Jews will tell you that mitzvah means doing a good deed.) “A mitzvah is not just a good deed” — Rabbi Zushe Greenberg
In this case, satisfying a being fan’s wish, connects us all with the beauty of the act. A connection with the Devine, the Universe, or whatever you call God.
So maybe there are some redeeming qualities in Hollywood.
