Donald Trump demonstrated on global and political stages alike that the corporate and executive perspective on law is not of one of inviolate directive, but merely of systemic rules to be gamed for profit. Also, that most of the right aisle on The Hill (and more on the left than there should be) largely feel […]
Never have I ever brought ‘social’ media home so quickly as this. Remind to self and those fortunate enough to grok. Experience! You will return “being” to the local source; It will travel space-time, informing universal reality; Always entangled, paradoxical, regenerative, rippling, Supersymmetry, ever-expanding, ever-collapsing.

Company: Blizzard Entertainment Payment Processor: Adyen Infraction: Inability to decline permission to retain CC data after purchase. Judged bad faith as purchase of battletag change allows this decline, but subscription does not because….? (They don’t want you to have to explicitly renew. They know you most likely will forget. They will profit from helping it […]
Mind you, I have no insight whatever into how you’ve designed things outside of your (very) basic lumberyard documentation. So I’m just making up contextually accurate names to point out that “each database is separate by region” does not make this “unpossible” in the least.
