Reminds me of when ads broke me of my habit of watching hours of television every night. I could totally get behind paying for 3 sites and ignoring the rest of the internet at some point.

It’s not exactly “slop” if people are listening to it and presumably enjoying it.

I don't agree with the logic. People listening to the music doesn't mean they necessarily enjoy it, just hate it enough not to skip, were at the skip limit for their free account, etc. People listen to ads too, and nobody enjoys those.

"AI slop" came into common usage with the onslaught of ai-generated articles. They only got so popular because somebody was out there clicking on them enough to generate ad revenue. It's a leap to assume that means they're reading, much less enjoying them. I think the same applies here, and "slop" is reasonable.

she's perfectly fine with waging a culture war against people just trying to live their lives as long as she's not in the outgroup.

They all are, she's just a little extra dumb for not realizing how quickly she'd be in the outgroup.

One resident told Healy, "She’s exactly the sort of person you’d want to come to the country. I don’t know how this fits into the deportation problem with Trump.”

She overstayed on a tourist visa. She's the exact sort of "illegal" they've been rallying against. I don't think you can get this ignorant on accident.

Not iOS; it's for all those Linux users that miss having a sluggish Start menu.

...Florida law is only relevant within Florida and, to a limited extent, the United States.

And even then only to the extent those with the power to do so choose to enforce it. It might matter if you or I break the law; it will not matter in any meaningful way if Meta does.

Hartman admits that nearly half of his business comes from selling honey to the federal government...

You probably shouldn't be so supportive of cutting government spending if you're the one they're spending on. They're not exactly going to cut down on their buddies' contracts first.
