Nassau County, NY just passed a mask ban and now residents say they are going to take pictures of anyone wearing a mask and send them to police.

Disney is not admitting that its forced arbitration claim was legally wrong. It's just "decided to waive [its] right to arbitration" in *this particular case*.
It's deliberately not letting that legal argument be tested in a court, which means it can try it again anytime in the future.

O2 CZ nabídlo na léto zdarma na zkoušku NEO+ Bronzový s tím, že od září volitelně bude pokračovat za 599 Kč/měsíc. Dnes se zeptali, jestli chci v září pokračovat nebo ne, napsal jsem, že ne.
Obratem mi nabídli za stejnou cenu NEO+ Střibrný - což je předpokládám podle typu kovu hodnotnější tarif.
Poučení: všechny výhodné nabídky zásadně odmítat, přijdou ještě výhodnější. 😁

Hate speech is bad.
Banning it is legislating feelings, instead of facts, being inherently subjective, resulting in censorship & oppression of any political dissent, a recipe for authoritarianism.
