The ability to change features, prices, and availability of things you've already paid for is a powerful temptation to corporations.

I’m pretty sure it would be banned for calling for violence towards specific individuals.

People with no attachment to reality might overreact like that, but the rest of us have reading comprehension on our side.

deserves to be staked out over an anthill

"deserves to be": this is a phrase commonly used when people are basically venting, but it almost never suggests that someone should actually do the action. Just search for the phrase "deserves to be string up" and you'll see just how common it is.

As for "over an anthill", when someone describes an outrageous situation, that's yet another clue that they're venting, not proposing an actual action.

Honest people who read the news and opinion pieces should know this, so either you're new to reading, or you're dishonest.

Warner is an unbelievably shitty company run by the single most guillotineable executive

Again, first day reading? Or just dishonest?

No, I've just been living in American for the past 30 years or so and have an understanding of what inflammatory and dehumanizing attacks on individuals and groups does to society. And even if it's permissible based on the rules of this community, it's still garbage journalism.

Living in American? What does that even mean?
