Eventually someone is 'root'

Up until recently (and my intervention) my work had multiple aws accounts tied to individual people, where they had inherited a personal account into the billing org.

There are also, in business use, some domains where an executive personally owns the registration but has delegated DNS into the company. There is no written agreement.

A former employer completely lost access to a couple of social media accounts (twitter/$company, etc) after laying off enough people.

I really can't stress enough just how offensive "chestfeeding" and similar turns of phrase are to massive numbers of women. It is a very big deal.

I'm not sure if you're kidding or what but the mothers in that paper had 46 (the normal number) of XX chromosomes, a female with a mosaic-type defect containing some Y - successfully giving birth further proves these were female humans.

Harry Potter is the funniest example because it started out being a target of the evangelical "right" and has become a target of the culture-war "left"!

There are more subtle forms of censorship, continuously employed by the government to prop up or push down various things. Covid had many such examples of pressure tactics from the government come to light but I'm sure it happens constantly.

For a specific recent example democrat-leaning states had much stricter and longer-lasting covid lockdowns - preventing free association is a form of censorship.

John Kerry seemed like a nice guy and I found (and continue to find) the republican attacks on his (and other) military service to be very very distasteful.

Senator Kerry voted for the iraq war.

Al Gore was the guy to get elected and not invade Iraq. Kerry was the following election. The south park episode about that election was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapper_Keeper_(South_Park) but it came out after and was boring.

Your example is an episode where they lampoon both candidates.

south park is a product of the 1990's! its origins lean heavily on the still-true left/democratic party's pro-censorship leanings

just because the recent right/republicans were able to more effectively lean into the meme-heavy southpark-type (crude, male-targeted) humor as marketing doesn't really track with your last assertion (for me)

liveoneggs··on GamersNexus and LG: Or why rooting your TV is a bad idea
Yeah you just need to remember to login to your totally-not-corrupt ISP's definitely-easy-to-use firewall manager app and setup your firewall rules to prevent hostile governments from using your microwave as a passive listening device, which they sell back to your own government for probable cause, to arrest you for cooking the wrong brand of popcorn.

liveoneggs··on How credit card rewards became a $9.2B wealth transfer
So we're on topic: as the article points out - I use cash back cards so other people (like you) subsidize my spending. There are other major benefits to using a CC but anyway..

You are, apparently, well-off enough to have enough money in your venmo/checking where you don't think about it too much but I think the OP was referring to the less well-off but common situation where you are spending a little over your current ability - be it physical cash on hand (not your situation) or the amount available in your account.

China has a several-millions-big population of slaves today.

It is effectively a Han ethno-state, led by a de-facto king, with many novel forms of discrimination normalized into the culture.
