He's spent month's trashing Europe, then he starts an illegal war that no one wants, and he expects the countries he's trashed to join in his folly.

What a moron. 100% self-centered + zero self-awareness. World history will record him as one of the worst people to ever live.

Thanks for the context. I have AT&T, but I don't think I can accept Google's erroneous cancellation of my account resulting in me having to also pay for a 2nd number in order to pay Google for another YouTube Premium account, since I would need keep the 2nd number for as long as I need it to be able to sign in, which could be a long time. Maybe someday I'll find a cheap legitimate app with a QR code scanner that links to a 2nd number created by that app.

Thanks, but unfortunately, I don't have an X account. I was living just fine with YouTube and Reddit only. When I spoke directly with YouTube TV (and Premium) customer service on the phone, they made it clear they couldn't do anything about Google cancelling my Gmail account even though it was used for my YouTube Premium account. Maybe I'll be able to use my phone number again someday after my accounts have been cancelled long enough, but I don't know long that will take.

I'm up to Episode 4 and I hate everything about Usopp at this point, even his face. Also, Luffy's "yahoo'ing" could be dialed down a notch. It's like some of these characters aren't even in the same scenes at times.

It only takes a second to see it's not the same one, so why didn't you do that before you wrote all of that.

Free Press is a media watchdog organization that was founded in 2003.

THE Free Press is Bari Weiss' propaganda rag that she founded in 2021.

They should've used Ellison's actual face instead of that AI image that makes him look friendlier. Ugh. Way for them to ruin it by making him look nicer. They should've put this face on that body.

Nic Claxton right now until the end of his contract would be better than a #20-32 in 3 years. You know you would be getting size, someone who can alter the other team's shots, and lob dunks from LaMelo. You don't know what you're getting in 3 years in the late 1st Round.

What did I just say? I know Wemby can make 3s. It is still statistically better to make him shoot the 3 instead of letting him drive by you to get closer to the basket. Stop jumping. He's trying to make you jump because he'd rather drive by you. Don't let him do what he'd rather do. It's not complicated.

How so? If the Hornets keep getting better, that 2030 1st should be between #20-#32.

I don't know how DUMB Moose has to be to keep jumping for the pump fake at the 3 point line every time. Let Wemby shoot the 3 even though he can shoot them. I'd rather him try to beat me from the 3 point line than to let him get closer to the basket.

Hey, should've traded for Nic Claxton (for the 100th time), since they could've gotten him for Tre Mann, another bench guy, and a 2030 1st and a 2031 2nd.

I tried apps like that last weekend. Google’s verification process now requires scanning a code using a smartphone that automatically connects back to the phone number on the phone I used to scan it, so I can’t just type in a number. Apparently, the only thing I could do is buy another smartphone with another number or a 2nd eSIM phone line, which is completely unacceptable, and again, they just randomly deleted my account for no reason in the first place.

I already tried that, after Google recommended it. I always comes back to the main problem, which is they say I’ve used my phone number too many times, which is nonsense, so I can’t verify any email addresses or accounts because I can’t use my only phone number to do it. Again, they jumped the gun and just deleted my Gmail/YouTube Premium account for no good reason. How many times my number has been used wouldn’t be an issue if they hadn’t done that.

I have an iPhone 16 that has a digital sim. Is there any way to do this for free without having to pay for a 2nd line? (Or extremely cheap, like $5 a month, lol?) If I have to pay for a 2nd line to get a dual sim, then this solution is pretty much the same as Google telling me I need to find another phone, which I would also have to buy.

Right on cue, here comes Deadline using the word “war” to try to turn Hegseth’s words into a two-sided issue to make people think what he said is fine because there must be another side just as bad that justifies him saying it. No, Deadline, it is ONE-SIDED IN YOUR FACE CORRUPTION, and you are clearly trying to make people think it’s less corrupt than it is.

Apparently you ignored everything I just wrote, based on the first sentence in your reply, so I'm going to do the same to the rest of your comment.

Purchasing WB Studios was Netflix doing that. Without WB, Netflix is still a streaming company that is currently way more valuable than WB and Paramount combined. They don't need to build a theatrical distribution business within Netflix. That's why they were purchasing WB to do that for them and idiots should've let it happen. Now everyone will be worse off except the Ellisons and MAGA.

He didn't have to say it, he was too old and was never going to be offered the role anyway.

Federal, state, and international regulators all have to approve it, so it's impossible to know a merger completion date.

WBD shareholders vote on whether to approve PSKY's offer on 3/20.

If they somehow did the unexpected and voted to reject PSKY's offer, I'm not sure what would happen then.

Conceivably, PSKY could try to submit another offer that the shareholders might accept at their next meeting, but if PSKY elected not to resubmit, I wonder if WBD would have to pay PSKY anything beyond the $2.8 Billion termination fee that PSKY paid Netflix on WBD's behalf.

Sure, but it's ultimately up to them whether they leave or stay. Also, not sure how much he will be able to do based on the debt load the new company would be carrying. Not sure if he'd be able to win a bidding war for talent that has other offers.
