This guy bought Samsung’s 990 Pro 4 TB SSD when it was ~$330 and now Samsung REFUSES to replace it as the SSD now costs ~$950 due to the AI boom.
The SSD came with a 5-year warranty but started malfunctioning after just one year.
He sent Samsung evidence showing the drive was malfunctioning. Samsung rejected his claim, said it was working fine, and mailed it back to him.
When asked for a replacement, Samsung said the SSD was “out of stock” and couldn’t be replaced, offering only a refund of the original ~$330 purchase price.
The problem? The same SSD is currently IN STOCK and selling for around $950, so the refund wouldn’t even buy a replacement.
He’s now taking legal action against Samsung.
At this point, replacing the SSD would’ve probably been cheaper for Samsung than fighting the lawsuit. 😭

It was a piece of her soul which contained a rare fragment of the Soul King (The nail of the Soul King). When Rangiku was a young child living in the Rukongai, Aizen and his subordinates targeted her because she naturally possessed an extraordinary amount of spiritual energy. Aizen extracted the unique Soul King essence from her to feed it to his incomplete Hogyoku which required powerful souls and divine catalysts to awaken.
Seeing a collapsed Rangiku being left for dead by Aizen and his followers is what sparked Gin’s lifelong obsession with becoming a Shinigami, joining Aizen's ranks, and decades of waiting just to kill him. Normal souls would have died instantly from having a piece of their soul ripped away. That she survived the trauma and still possessed enough remaining spiritual power to later become a Lieutenant shows Rangiku's natural potential is beyound normal.
Please don't forget the Trump family is barred from ever running another charity in NY because they stole from a Children's Cancer Charity. A Children's Cancer Charity. A FUCKING CHILDREN'S CANCER CHARITY!
>You can't share or trade or sell games
That is the only reason Sony wants this.
Reminder they have hated the idea of people putting a movie on for their family in their living room for years now because they want everyone individually to purchase access.
Split screen went away for the same reason if I had to guess. Forcing all multiplayer online exclusively means that your friends have to buy a console and a game and a subscription instead of just bring a controller over like we could back in the day.
Never believe these people when they say anything is for your benefit. They're counting on you being a stupid lobotomized normie who doesn't question things.

Nailed it
They did inherit the potential for those powers but not at the same level as Ichigo and they both lacked the catalysts needed to wake them up.
From both of their traits in early chapters it seems Karin inherited the ability to become a Shinigami, she has high spiritual awareness (Reikaku). She could see spirits almost as clearly as Ichigo could and Yuzu ability seems more like that of a Quincy. She's sensitive to spiritual energy, can feel when a spirit is sad or in distress. She displayed high perception like Ishida.
Why Karin has the potential to be a Shinigami she is still alive in a human body. Ichigo only awakened his Shinigami powers because Rukia literally stabbed him with a Zanpakuto to transfer her spiritual energy to him, and later Urahara threw him into a shattered shaft to force his own power out. Karin never went through any of this.
Yuzu never showed powers likely because Quincy abilities require training to manifest and since their mom died when they were little and their dad kept all of it from them to keep them safe, she never had anyone to teach her how to manipulate Reishi.
Also, when Yhwach triggered the Auswahlen (the Holy Selection) nine years before the main story, he stole the power of all impure Quincies which killed Masaki. Because Yuzu and Karin were technically halfbloods (Gemischt), any dormant Quincy life force they had would have been heavily suppressed or stripped away by Yhwach while they were still toddlers leaving them with just their baseline human/spiritual traits.
This is just my take, feel free to add yours.
Heads up. Sony/PlayStation are taking down any posts on Reddit which prove that they're lying about the physical vs digital sales comparisons and skewing the numbers 👌
The PS4 won the 8th-gen consoles wars almost entirely because Xbox shot itself in the face and Sony said "we're not doing any of that."
Listen to the crowd cheering at the simple idea that they will own the games and the consoles they buy with no caveats.

What Max is alluding to here, is that the current administration has virtually no consumer protections operation whatsoever, and that's by design, to be as business friendly as possible.
There's also the fact that the Supreme Court is extremely corporate friendly.
So there's no legal avenue in the United States to realistically challenge Sony, or any large multibillion dollar firm.
This is all of a result of our current trend in electoral politics. Who we vote into office matters, and there are downstream effects that you wouldn't normally connect that flow out of who controls the American government.
I know a LOT of people have varied opinions on Max Dood, but on this point, he's actually right.

Why didn't Democracy work?
Shouldn't the voice of the people saying "NO!" do the trick?
"We the people" didn't want mass surveillance to begin with, so why would our complaints matter?
Did you want kill switches in your car? Who asked for the KIDS act? Digital ID? Central Bank Digital Currency?
Who among us asked for any of this?
Your opinion on the topic never mattered to begin with, and it still doesn't.

Jamie Foxx reveals he was convinced the hospital was trying to clone him while heavily medicated
“I snuck my phone cause I didn’t know what the outside world was saying, to see what people were saying, I couldn’t get my mind around that I had a stroke, I’m in perfect shape.”
“The clone shit threw me, when they said I was a clone that made me flip, that’s it these motherfuckers are trying to clone me”
“I didn’t have a stroke, so I’m sitting in the hospital bed, and then I saw me walk into my room but I’m white, so I see the white white me and I’m trying to get their attention and no one says anything, and I’m like that’s it they trying to clone me”
“The next morning I was out of my bed standing there like Chris Pratt in Jurassic Park, and Dave was like what’s up, I said I know what’s up, you trying to clone me motherfucker, I saw the white clone, and I know why you trying to clone me and make me white, cause I’ll sell better overseas”
“So they had to call my psych, I had a psychiatrist on board, and when the psychiatrist says are you alright, I says am I alright or am I all white, I saw what happened yesterday, you trying to get the white motherfucking Jamie Foxx and it ain’t gonna happen, so he just calmly goes I think we’re gonna lower your dosage”
