Anyone (eg. people who've never even been to the US) can sign one of those as many times as they want. There's no verification so it's not even representative of US voters, much less any particular Congress person's constituents. Congress people want to know what their actual constituents think, not what could just be Chinese bot farm. Your congressional representatives are not paying any attention to online petitions. Period.

    change dot org petitions have 0 influence on Congress. It's a distraction and a waste of time. I'm half convinced they're a misinformation campaign by the opposition to get people to sign a worthless petition instead of doing what they should be doing, which is...

    👏 Call 👏Your 👏 Representatives (House AND Senate)👏 And 👏 Tell 👏 Them 👏 Directly. 👏

    So, every parking space is going to have a charger? Because those times that I've been to one of these big gas stations, I don't leave my car blocking the pump while I wander around inside looking for the restroom.

    The car kept attempting to reach servers

    To the surprise of whom?

    ANY device that relies on radio signal communication for any of its functionality, taken anywhere (underground mine, parking garage, Antarctica, Santa's workshop, etc), and it'll try to maintain it's connections. That's just what they do.

    Nope.

    The camera-free glasses, code-named Luna, will still feature an array of six microphones to allow users to speak to the company’s AI chatbot and its recently-released AI assistant, called Muse. They’ll presumably pick up audio from users’ environments as well, where bystanders may not be aware of the eavesdropping.

    One fan countered in the comments of her latest post: “We love you Kacey! People upset and surprised she would support the Young Centre clearly know nothing about her: she's always been a progressive, and not quiet about it.”

    This is not the first time that Musgraves has upset conservatives. She has spent her career backing progressive causes, from supporting immigrants to gun control and LGBTQ+ rights.

    Her pick of charity also does not come out of nowhere: Musgraves has repeatedly championed the Young Center, a national nonprofit that advocates for children separated from their families. Earlier this year, she partnered with Depop to sell pieces from her music videos and her personal wardrobe to raise money for the organization.

    If it's something I know I subscribed to, I'll unsubscribe once, then immediately setup a filter to automatically mark anything new coming from that sender as spam.

    If it's something I didn't subscribe to, I just skip straight to the filter.
