If you go to cancel, you can sign up for a "non-AI" version for only $99 a year. They added a feature no one wants, raised the price, and let you stay on at the original price with the original features.

Chris Mack, who'd been locked up in the Rankin County jail, detailed how a jailhouse assault had left him with broken ribs and two black eyes.

But it wasn’t just guards who attacked him. Mack said a group of inmates joined in—men in the jail’s Trusty Inmate Program, who had special privileges.

This isn't a Top Military Secret here, it's healthcare that needs to be discussed and debated and revised to provide the best possible service to the American people.

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.
