all i know is a 30+ year old woman can have consensual sex with whoever the fuck she wants to

but this somehow upsets the fragile internet dwellers of today

Cuz she blew a fart in his face

Why didn't they do this before starting the Mario movie instead of partnering with Illumination?

It IS however transphobic to make "jokes" where the punchline is calling trans people crazy, misgendering them, saying we're lying about ourselves, insulting our genitals, or otherwise just making the punchline be "trans people exist, eww!"... All of which he's done. Oh, and it's also pretty obvious what you're doing here, defending him and his blatant transphobia.

All of them.

Three of the worlds biggest comedians Dave Chappelle, Louis C.K. and Ricky Gervais all released specials that drew controversy during the last year. While all three have received Emmy recognition in the past, only one of them received a nod on Tuesday for his latest high-profile work. Chappelles controversial Netflix special The Closer is nominated for variety special and directing for a variety special.

Chappelles The Closer drew criticism for language criticized as transphobic and caused a walkout at Netflix. Yet he has defended the work, including with the recent release of a 40-minute speech on Netflix last week. Despite the controversy, The Closer nabbed two guild award nominations at the beginning of the year, from both the Directors Guild of America and Producers Guild of America. Previously, Chappelle has won five Emmys. He also received a nod last year for 8:46 Dave Chappelle in the outstanding variety special (pre-recorded) category.

Nolan Ryan wtf kind of answers is this

Idk. Polar bears are the biggest, so probably them.

As an emergency driver, I wish more people would fucking speed! I get too many slowpokes who get in my way or get out too slowly and it just takes forever to get to the hospital. They need to learn to move the fuck over if you aren't gonna keep up!

*sad police noises*

You have already started your car 30 times this month. Would you like to purchase more ignitions?

Wait so if the feature is already there then you already paid for its components. Or is BMW eliminating the initial price of features they install only to charge with microtransations? Something doesn't seem legal about this.

Honestly if this becomes a trend I'll drive nothing but old cars for the rest of my life. Probably will anyway, fuck car payments

BMW is now selling subscriptions for heated seats in a number of countries the latest example of the companys adoption of microtransactions for high-end car features.

A monthly subscription to heat your BMWs front seats costs roughly $18, with options to subscribe for a year ($180), three years ($300), or pay for unlimited access for $415.

Its not clear exactly when BMW started offering this feature as a subscription, or in which countries, but a number of outlets this week reported spotted its launch in South Korea.

BMW has slowly been putting features behind subscriptions since 2020, and heated seats subs are now available in BMWs digital stores in countries including the UK, Germany, New Zealand, and South Africa. It doesnt, however, seem to be an option in the US yet.

Weve asked BMW for the exact details of this roll-out, but it was unable to say when the subscriptions had been launched in which countries. Its no surprise that BMW isnt trumpeting the news, though. Since the company announced in 2020 that its cars operating system would allow for microtransactions on features like automatic high beams and adaptive cruise control, customers have decried the move as greedy and exploitative.

Carmakers have always charged customers more money for high-end features, of course, but the dynamic is very different when software, rather than hardware, is the limiting factor.
In the case of heated seats, for example, BMW owners already have all the necessary components, but BMW has simply placed a software block on their functionality that buyers then have to pay to remove. For some software features that might lead to ongoing expenses for the carmaker (like automated traffic camera alerts, for example), charging a subscription seems more reasonable. But thats not an issue for heated seats.

Other features that BMW is locking behind subscriptions (as per the companys digital UK store) include heated steering wheels, from $12 a month; the option to record footage from your cars cameras, priced at $235 for unlimited use; and the IconicSounds Sport package, which lets you play engine sounds in your car for a one-time fee of $117.

In the latter case, BMW notes that the hardware for this feature has already been installed in your vehicle during production, at no extra cost. How generous.

The game connects online to verify DRM, and Ubisoft doesnt want to pay for server upkeep for these lesser-played games anymore.

They could just remove the DRM requirements and keep it up for sale to benefit from people still willing to buy the games. But that would set the precedent of having single player games without DRM. I hate this.

Does this actually accomplish anything or is it more political theater?

Djokovic is incredible but I feel anyone who doesn't say Federer must not have seen Federer when he was at his best. Most complete tennis player the world has ever produced. Just flawless.

Looks like it could be space junk.

I hate driving though

Already an under arm serve and between the legs shot lol
