White supremacy and related ideologies had hundreds of years to sink in. People are getting generally better at recognizing personal prejudice and racism, but we all have a long way to go to undo the racist assumptions that are embedded in many institutions. 

If they already renewed Drunk History prior to canceling it, what costs are they actually saving?

If it’s not against the TOS, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just as likely occurring on the rare occasion when a seller has run out of stock for a given item but they didn’t update their eBay listing correctly.

The markup would have to be quite high, as the eBay and PayPal fees would eat into that.

Several eBay merchants, as well as merchants on other sites, use Amazon’s fulfillment center network to store, pack, and deliver goods, even if they’re not bought on Amazon specifically. It’s a program that is completely above-board, but it’s also a potentially example of Amazon’s vast vertical growth.

I’d never owned a PlayStation of any sort prior, so I was mostly spending my time with the PS2 launch window playing Final Fantasy IX and other titles I’d missed out on from the original PS.

They actually did revisit Iotia later in the Star Trek NES video game.

You’re mixing up two episodes. There’s one with an Ireland planet and a ton of offensive Irish stereotypes, and there’s the episode with Dr. Crusher and the sex ghost on a Scottish colony.

I’m sure 45 is too Islamophobic to care, but China is currently laying the groundwork for Uighur genocide. None of that excuses the president’s goons in Portland, but we’re talking about a VERY different scale of evil here.

I still think it’s excellent. One thing that’s changed from a societal standpoint is that mental health treatment isn’t allowed to be excluded from general health insurance. It makes the flashbacks about his time as an insurance investigator less relevant, as the subtle difference between physiological and…

As the other response stated, it has to do with jurisdiction. Federal law can investigate and intervene when state lines are crossed. Otherwise, it’s necessary for the state to investigate, which could be better or worse depending on the particulars.

A temporary surge in subscriptions probably wouldn’t pay for the considerable hours of development and testing work required to restore the old code to some semblance of working order.

So where things get tricky is whether the appearance of a character matches closer to their comic book representation of their film representation. Sony owns the rights to SM in movies, and they also have the rights to that particular portrayal of SM. Any SM game where the character in the game is intended to…

For the record, the reason your extra steps seemed to make things go faster is likely a matter of random chance.

In addition to factors others have identified, sometimes the issue is risk mitigation. If the first run contains a flaw, for instance, you can correct it before the second run.

A lot of great picks here. Some others for consideration:

The Inventory is supposed to be entirely independent from editorial.

Could the 2FA notification potentially have come from an attempt to reset the password instead?

Honestly my biggest suspicion is that there’s been so many years without real oversight and organization with regard to the accounting that they wouldn’t even have to be doing anything explicitly nefarious. They’re simply just so badly run money-wise that they have no idea what they’re actually spending.

When it comes to the military-industrial complex, the number of rank-and-file soldiers strikes me as the least of the military’s worries. Start at the top, not the bottom. Force each and every branch to complete a full audit and repay misappropriated funds. Scrutinize weapons research that throws absurd amounts of…
