Yes its a common practice, but in California, the law is that you have to get the customer’s consent to record those phone calls, and they didnt. Thats the issue

most of it is fine, just that you never gave consent according to Cali law for all of this to happen. which is just a technicality.

As others have stated it’s really useful for discoverability. If their concern is that hosting doesn’t actually give the hosted the views  or something, I don’t see why they don’t just you know...do that. Is it too hard to split views between two channels? 

If even only 1% of people who check an offline channel see the host and click through, that is infinitely more than could do so without the host. Twitch is already notorious for its poor discoverability, so even minor moves against discoverability are compounding a known issue, rather than fixing it.

Even if the raiding argument were valid. There’s still a very important aspect I see of hosting used A LOT. And that’s when a streamer is making an appearance on another stream, so they host THAT stream, such as things like GDQ.

Hooing eh? 

Hook it up to your Mother-in-Laws OBD 2 and sit back and watch the hilarity ensue.

Absolutely run them over. The fact that they’re young and spry makes ‘em worth the most points!

Yeah, just thinking that tomorrow’s big story will be “So I got arrested for stealing a rental car...”

LTE? Check. GPS? Check.

We’re all confused about this because of poor storytelling, but I think the idea is that Hale-bot began as a straight copy of Season 1 & 2 Dolores in a different shell, however she also absorbed aspects of the human Hale’s personality in order to assume her role in the real world. In the process she became attached to…

True, but now I think about it, Thandiwe Newton did most of the heavy lifting. I think the only nudity we got from Dolores was ass-crack.

David Bowie and Nine Inch Nails’ “The Man Who Sold The World.”

I wonder what Charlotte’s “transcendence” actually is. It looks like the drones are transplanting the hosts’ pearls into new, very not-human bodies. Or are these just vessels that take them somewhere else for further processing?

Yeah, I had that thought myself. It’s strange, considering Westworld wasn’t shy about nudity in the first couple of seasons.

I wonder if this is indeed the very last time we get to see the Man in Black smile to himself after being shot at/stabbed/in some way attacked by a host ...

OK, so it doesn’t really matter if it was the actual human William or a faithful copy because he’s dead now. But his legacy continues as the host created in his likeness has not only killed Charlotte Hale, but donned the black hat and threw her carefully curated world into chaos. It’s now a dog-eat-dog world and…

I think people are randomly assuming it means the same thing it means on a Ford. 

Small Car Fun > Big car boring.

The Honda Fit in general is one of the top-5 best things Honda has ever done, and is also one of the greatest cars ever sold in America. Jesus himself will need to pry mine from my withered, dusty corpse hands
