@nProctor any chance you can take a look at this case and help? Acers denied warranty on something I have evidence that the “water damage” isn’t water damage.

@BestBuy on November 4th 2025, I purchased an Acer Helios 16s Ai laptop from you guys using your progressive leasing services. Purchased on the 4th, picked up on the 5th of November of 2025. After a day of using the laptop i had to open said laptop to install an m.2 and ram.

Should this be legal? What about Right to Repair? Right to Learn and Explore? How can we learn without observing the work of others?

"the energy behind right-to-repair suggests something larger is building. Pressures that destabilize a sense of ownership are accumulating — in land, in housing, in tools, in data, in the basic mechanics of daily work. The lid is still on. But the heat is rising."

When manufacturers refuse to provide these professionals the parts, tools, or manuals they need to maintain medical devices, repairs can stall -- delaying procedures and increasing costs. Check out the findings from our latest report:

If people want to buy an AI book, fine. But if the idea is going to be that there's no difference and the consumer has no right to know, nope nope nope, shut that the hell down right now. We need a Ralph Nader-style consumer advocacy push on this stuff.

I first encountered Wink's concept of the "myth of redemptive violence" in grad school. It left a huge impression on me, as did his analysis of "corporate sin." It's cheesy, but that classic Fred Rogers PBS speech is a powerful counter to Wink's myth. youtube.com/watch?v=fKy7lj…

Have you ever heard of the "myth of redemptive violence?" 1/🧵 Coined by Christian theologian Walter Wink in his 1999 book "The Powers that Be," it's a really common troupe in media. Here’s what that myth typically looks like in a modern telling:

There are consequences for thinking this reality exists outside of movies. It doesn't. It's a fallacy. It's toxic. It's a lie. It's absurd. It's devastating. Our lives aren't action movies. And we shouldn't let anyone blur that line.

A key to the fantasy is that the hero in any of these stories has to be AMAZING at violence. Once they start fighting, it's cathartic, they've been holding back and now here comes the BOOM. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry ...

A good and fairly indestructible person, minding their own business, gets attacked by an evil cruel mob of horrible people – innocents get killed. With nothing left, their inner rage turns them into a superhero, able to fight through the evil hordes, to get the evil boss.
