I get what you’re saying but the forgetful customer is explicitly what they said they want, which is dumb any way you look at it. Many times you’re forced into signing up for subscription, or coerced under the guise of a free trial. Now this wouldn’t be as bad if they came back and were like, “hey we see you haven’t used our service in a while, do you still need it?” rather than just leeching money from the user. The system is designed to purposely allow the user to make these errors and that’s wrong any way you want to shape it.

There’s a LOT of nonsense with Sovcits but you basically just need to understand a couple things. Sovcits basically believe that the government has some secret account with millions of dollars in it in your name and that there are some equally secret methods to access that money. So basically this “coupon” would try to pay for goods using that secret account, using a secret and convoluted process, and using magic legal jargon.

The bank just said, “Sorry, we don’t accept whatever this nonsense is. Plz send real money.”

“If buying isn’t owning, pirating isn’t stealing.”

I heard this before and it is becoming more true each day.

I worked at Amazon and the head of Ring said their best customers were people who bought a subscription and then put the camera in a drawer and forgot about it. They don’t even want to provide you a service. They want you to absentmindedly give them money every month because you forgot to cancel.

You should. The next time you want to use it, it’ll probably do some bullshit. Better to be rid of it now than be coerced into giving HP money in the future. If you need a printer, replace it with whatever Brother laser printer is on sale at the moment.

Oh, you probably should have opened with that.

I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say you live in a place with rampant voter suppression that makes voting difficult.

I spent all of 60 seconds voting by mail. But even if I were to go vote in person, it’s never taken me more than ten or fifteen minutes, including travel time.

But I know there are some places where people are forced to stand in lines for hours. This is why we need voter protection laws.

Edit: Just saw your comment that says you’re not American. My comment still stands.

And no one wants to pay for the turn signal subscription service!

Fucking PHONES had more RAM. It was so fucking stupid. And despite their arguments, it was proven time and time again 8GB was not enough.

I think you’re confusing Thunderbolt with the lightning cable. Hell, even basic USB-C is faster than lightning cable.

False. I was issued that mouse at a previous workplace and it pissed me off so much I brought in my own mouse. And my experience was that when the mouse was fully dead it needed to charge a long time to be usable again.

If it just simply let you use it while it was plugged in there’d be absolutely no issue. It’s a dumb design.

It’s so fucking stupid. If you can sign up with a click, you should be able to cancel with a click. There’s no justifiable argument against that other than corporate greed.

I do remember one of my most satisfying cancelation calls though. I just kept saying, “No.” Just “no”. No added explanation. No added reasoning. It frustrated the retention employee so much. They were like “but WHY?” They couldn’t try to convince me not to quit since I didn’t give them any reasons for why I didn’t want it, just that I didn’t want it.

In case anyone is curious, the image is from the DreamWorks movie Over the Hedge. It’s pretty good and I would recommend.

I typically use the fact that there are trees older than 4000 years old based on tree ring data. Or that there are stars in the sky further than 4000 light years away that we can see in the sky.

That usually makes them say something like how their God created an world that was already aged. So I usually counter with the fact that would make their God a lier and deceiver.

Some hold firm and say God did it to test faith. Others back pedal and try to blame it on Satan. That Satan scattered all this false evidence just to make us question the notion that Earth is 4000 years old to make people lose faith in God. And then I have to laugh at how stupid their argument is and how weak their God is. Naturally no amount of evidence or logic will make them change their belief.

Oh shit… core memory unlocked. I forgot I used to do this. I forgot there was a time you would do this otherwise everything just had the same icon.

I’m getting flashbacks to when Battleship somehow got green-lit.

The article specifically states that there’s nowhere you can (legally) watch much of this. It’s so much worse than just trading licenses.

I thought it was just a given that you need to constantly remind your feline companion that they are, in fact, a cat.

Ah you speak the truth. Fixed.
