You mean Theil's positions?

No. Small Claims court won't handle that (maybe in some jurisdictions?) - that would require a real suit to be filed and proof that they are "damages" which is probably not a "juice worth the squeeze" effort here with such a small amount (under $5K typically)

Oh, LLMs can spit out average output very quickly for certain!

Fucking EXPERIAN again?

amazing doing a lot of heavy lifting there...

Take it to small claims court. Ask for the money to replace the game + the filing fee from Sony America. Cite all documentation confirming your attempt at relief and if you have it, receipt of the game - possibly available in the form of credit card receipt, but also proof that you've played the game on the system.

They won't even contest it most likely. Send the bill to their finance department.

So... surely this is felony perjury?

Most state laws have provisions that mirror federal law. The New York state penal code provides for various degrees of perjury crimes and criminal offenses for making apparently false statements. At the lower end, perjury in the third-degree is a class A misdemeanor offense. This crime involves making a false statement while giving testimony under oath or in a subscribed written instrument when under oath. The crime rises to a felony offense of perjury in the second degree when:

• The statement is material;
  

• Made in a subscribed written instrument; and
  

• Made to mislead a public official in his official functions
  

The offense can become a felony charge of perjury in the first degree when the false statement is material and occurs during testimony.

For those too lazy to click:

Prop 38 borrows $8.4 billion for immunology/immunotherapy research—and directs half the proceeds to one qualifying UC-affiliated research institute run by a billionaire, with the rest distributed through grants.

Public investment in biomedical research is obviously good and something we strongly support. But Prop 38 is not constructed primarily to best facilitate this research. The eligibility language appears effectively tailored to the California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy; billionaire Gary Michelson is its co-founder/board chair and the chief financial force behind the initiative. FPPC data show roughly $36M in top support contributions dominated by Michelson/Michelson Center and Meyer Luskin.

This proposition is pretty naked self-dealing by wealthy individuals. By phrasing it as promoting medical research, something no one opposes, Michelson hopes to smuggle in a popular mandate to deliver state funds to his own institution. Voters should not constitutionally commit billions in public debt through an initiative constructed around a particular private institution. Instead, we should democratically fund actual public institutions that are accountable for their work. California must expand publicly governed research, make discoveries broadly available, and fund it through progressive taxation. We recommend a No vote.

soo... sex workers under contract? No job shame here!

Thanks. I hate it.

you're just repeating yourself there...
