there’s a gif there, if you can’t see it there’s a problem with your browser or instance edit: there’s a discussion going on at https://fedia.io/m/asklemmy@lemmy.world/t/917243/What-s-the-reason-for-the-empty-comments-lately that might be tied to this phenomenon
it’s pushing the pee out
well, no, the reason is commercial, chicken is one of the cheapest and easiest proteins to raise in the smallest amount of space, which works out better for those of lesser means. everybody loves fried chicken, sure, but it’s not the reason it’s always been a stereotypical hallmark of the American Black population
seeing as how ethnicity and geographic origin of the american slaves were purposefully destroyed and lost, to cut them off from their history by design, their created culture will need to suffice
they said because of the tradition of corned beef and cabbage on st patricks day, it’s a fair question
There’s a lot of “play” in tasks accomplished when working in an office, not so much when companies have spy software gauging every minute one spend on their corporate owned pc’s remotely, some find even less freedom when under that type of 9 hr scrutiny day in day out
“how bout that” lol
If he’s a producer on the show (which if not originally, I’m positive by now he is), he’d be suing himself

If you have many choices for your Internet Service Providers where you are, go ahead, and if they terminate your service, sign up for another one, if there isn’t, a VPN is absolutely necessary if only to protect your access.
“angry ISP letters” followed by termination of service and inability to get new service from that ISP for that physical address no matter who attempts to sign up for new service under a different name. if your address is only serviced by one local ISP, and there’s no good alternative, then you’re fucking hosed. every other concern is a distant second to that.
Before the internet you would have to go to a library to read a book you didn’t want to purchase. Libraries are still a thing. You can still go there to borrow a book, read it, and return it, so that others can read it.
The only difference here is the magnitude of access, where publishers weren’t very concerned with at the local library level for token public good, but are very much now alarmed with, in that the internet can distribute content to everyone all the time, content they were very much hoping to continue to monetize.
It’s information gatekeeping, but no one is going to tell the publishing industry they might as well fold up shop and stop publishing because they can’t make any money at it any longer.
