Same. May have jumped the gun by asking my 7 year old daughter why God was such a jerk when he drowned the entire worlds population bc people weren't following his rules. Wife wasn't thrilled

Thanks. That's very helpful. And thanks to everyone else. It's why I asked here. Also because when I asked my wife what she thought, she wondered aloud if it's because my cell phone number is still a Dallas area number....

Austin, TX

Right, kinda what I figured. Was hoping I wouldn't have to pay more for the product I'm already paying for to fix someone else's mistake, but it's probably the easiest solution at this point. Or......class action lawsuit Not always true. Many days I hate it

I've had one in the past but it was wonky and didn't seem to work that well. Was one of the reputable ones too , but yeah, I can look into that again. Do you have a free one you'd recommend?

...and why mine's fucked up. I understand what they are, but I'm dealing with a situation that has me pretty confused. I live in southern California and have had an MLB TV account for years. Only games that have ever been blacked out are the Dodgers and Angels. Two weeks ago, I try to flip on the Astros game and get the blackout message. Try some other games, none blacked out except for the Rangers. I conclude that it thinks I'm in Texas. Try the SoCal teams, and they're still blacked out too. Cleared cache, signed out, uninstalled app, rebooted modem, tried app on phone and PS4 as well. Nothing works. Called MLB TV and they tell me it's because I'm located in Austin, TX. Tells me to call my internet provider. Called at&t and they tell me that it's not then, but it's these independent, 3rd party IP location companies that content providers rely on to inform them of where the users are located. Um, what Guy from ATT says they rely on IPLocationTool.com, or something, and when I go to that website it shows that I'm in Austin. AT&T tells me to contact these 3rd party companies and ask them to change it. Like that's even an option. Go to like a dozen of these free sites and 90% show the correct location, but there's a few showing Austin, and a few showing I'm in Redmond, WA?? So, what the fuck is happening here and what can be done?

I'd play dumb. "What do you mean it's the same class? You're telling me that your system allows for students to register for classes they've already received credit for? Why is that even an option? Who designed this system? Let's haul that guy in here. I just assumed this was the Level II version of the first class. Yeah, I did think it was weird that all the assignments were the exact same, but we all know the professor here, and I don't think one of us would put something like that past him."

I hope aggy gets the hardest schedule bc they will 100% blame it on Texas and Looch will tell everyone that he has it on good authority that Texas officials orchestrated the entire thing.

I asked Google Bard to give me a recipe for French Toast and I just got back from the store with 37 cans of olives, 9 bottles of Tabasco, and 2 boxes of baking soda. who do I complain to?

why is the michelin man cosplaying as Vanderbeek's forehead?

I'd do it if I could dress up like this guy just to see the look on old Abe's face:

Food for thought

There's also differences within the state. Going up against a prosecutor on a drug possession case that was handed over to the prosecutor an hour before trial, vs. multi-strike case, or homicide, where gov has multiple expert wits prepped, forensic analysis, etc.

Stood next to him last week while waiting to pass through courthouse security. Dude was all smiles. I came up through the system with one of the DAs on the case. Great attorney.

The English aristocracy has gone WOKE!!

Yea, going to be about a 2.5k monthly hit for our family....

Curios to see the economic impact, if any, when student loan payments resume in August. They've been suspended for over 3 years, and I know that many (myself included) have been living/spending like that monthly obligation doesn't exist.

Gatekeeping the outrage directed at pedophiles. Interesting strategy to be sure. I'm not at all concerned that you're a pedophile now.

I think you'd be surprised how many people walk in general once they get to trial in a criminal case. Most of the slam dunk cases resolve with pleas. And that's not just white-collar criminals either.

Who's sad about it?

Same. 2008. The thread on hornfans had dried up and I was literally googling "Billy and April" to find my next hit and stumbled upon shaggy. Thanks for the invite, assholes
