I had to process these requests at a company I used to work for. They do send "proof" (proof in quotes because you have to believe in good faith they didn't just make it up, which I have to believe they didn't).

We never shut anyone off though. We worked with business exclusively and only ever sent "scary" letters. Though we had one client that was a major music venue (a very known venue that's pretty famous) who would get these letters all the time. The irony was too much for me. I ended up calling them personally most of the time because it was too funny.

People who made accounts before they start charging will be grandfathered in for free.

I don't think the party can kick him out at this point. He won the nomination and has all the votes. HE has to drop out.

They are the wrong one and died. The police came and arrested them for murder.

The problem is just going to court and saying "we have nothing to do with it" is both expensive and can end up with them going to trial. If they believe they have nothing to do with the incident, this is their easiest route.

Not trying to defend a big corp like Disney (they have plenty of money and can easily cover it), but I was just involved in a suite brought against me and in the end even though it would have been an "easy win" for us, it still would have cost us more money to fight it out in court than it was to just settle. And that's assuming the trial went our way which is never a guarantee.

There's also how much of a pain that would be for the end user. Would I have to create new accounts for all their services? That would be a mess.

I have a row of macro keys on my keyboard on the left side. I thought I'd be smart and add copy and paste macros (that were near mm's away from Ctrl) and I never used them.

Muscle memory would always take over and I'd Ctrl+C Ctrl+V. I realized it would take more work to train myself to use the macro keys (and God forbid I used a different keyboard) than I was saving not having to press a key combination

Same on windows. Works in most applications except some Microsoft Office apps (like Excel and Word) that have a separate "past as text" option.

Just need the user to mash F12 during boot and select the recovery environment, possibly input WiFi credentials if not wired

In theory that sounds great, now just do it 1000+ times while your phone is ringing off the hook and you're working with some of the most tech illiterate people in your org.

My uncle came back from Vietnam with really bad PTSD (among other problems like alcoholism). Every fourth he would spend the whole day/night in the basement with the curtains drawn (to block out the flashes) and headphones on with the sound turned all the way up (to block out the sounds).

He would also take my cousins to buy fireworks every year.

I don't mean to minimize your struggle, I just thought the juxtaposition was interesting.

I hope you could work through your struggles. I'm happy to say he was able to. He was able to quit drinking and minimize the effects of his PTSD. By the end of his life he was out there watching us shoot off the fireworks.

Private landlords would just sell to large corporate landlords who could profit with smaller margins.

I suspect a lot of those people are arguing in bad faith and are actually spreading misinformation. That they never intended on voting for Biden, or always intended on voting for Trump and trying to make it seem like Biden is losing his base.

IRL, most people I know, while not happy with Biden's response acknowledge that Trump's view is much much worse.
