You won't need a *cable* subscription. A lot of streaming services are only available if you have a cable subscription.
Ah, so all I'll need to pay now is a *streaming* subscription...at the going rate of about $10 per fucking channel.
What a bargain.
OK, forget the whole "subscription-free" label that costs $11/month for a minute...how the hell did we go from bitching for years about forced bundled offerings from our cable providers, only to have the "win" result in this pricing model?
At this rate, the dozen or so channels that people watch today will "only" cost them 120% of their current cable bill to obtain them in the future via streaming. Oh, and don't forget those broadband caps and additional speed you'll need to stream everything.
That kind of math makes a class-action payout look like a fucking lottery win.
Boy am I glad I cut the cord years ago. Have fun with that bullshit.
My Jim Lansing & Jensen Speakers have been working fine for 50 years.
Yup. Pair of Pioneers going on 45 years here. They don't make 'em like they used to.
and they don;t even get warm. What's in a Beats speaker that causes the conflagration?
Well, to be fair, they have this rather nifty feature with the fact that it runs on a rechargeable battery...you know the kind that our government refuses to acknowledge as "hazardous" amidst a sea of torched consumer products.
Or is it the crappy music that kids play today?
No, that just makes your ears bleed and make you scream for real singers to emerge again. It doesn't really do anything to your speakers that likely played their fair share of crappy 70's disco.
The nice thing about the Jim Lansing D-130 is the efficiency. Even a 10W amplifier can blast you out of the room.
Yup. In that sense, it's pretty damn awesome.
Unless you are ready to pull the trigger of the gun of force.
Fine, don't wanna vaccinate your kids, they shouldn't be allowed in public schools. This is a nice, fair solution. If people want to make their kids a vector for eradicated diseases (hey it's their "right") they should make other arrangements for education.
Sure, sounds fair.
Although I'm struggling to understand how a public school ban will do fuck-all to truly protect the masses.
In other words, Disneyland isn't a public school...
Am I protected if my religious beliefs say I need to sacrifice a virgin? Certainly not..
Well, I suppose that depends on how the virgin was "sacrificed", now wouldn't it...
...so why should I be able to gamble with my child's life based on religious beliefs?
Because your religion says it's not a gamble. At all. It's God's will. The question for the courts is when will they start defining the death of a child as criminal. The risk of non-vaccination is not merely endangerment to the public, but can also be viewed as murder in the case of a child who doesn't know better.
Furthermore, they are MY religious beliefs, not my child's. Who is to say my child is going to give a crap about my religion when he grows up.
Uh, your religion does, by ensuring your child will go to [insert eternal damnation definition here] if they don't.
Sorry, just wanted to clarify exactly how religious zealots justify their stance today, and how that logic perpetuates through generations.
I strongly think that parents who elect to not vaccinate their children (absent a documented medical condition preventing safe vaccination) should be liable for child endangerment. This is reckless behavior that is reasonably likely to result in bodily harm to another human being. This is a public safety issue with a clear and benign and effective solution. Those who opt out should be liable for the consequences of their actions.
Good luck going against religious beliefs that curtail vaccinations. That "endangerment" has one hell of an establishment in the community.
Wow, so if I decide to stop using your payment service or even decide to cancel a third party service which happens to use your service for payments, I only have to change my bank account to get you to stop charging me.
It doesn't have to be difficult in order to make it completely ridiculous.
The solution I've proposed is to counter the utter stupidity of the organization causing it.
Identify and change what you can control in this situation to eliminate the issue.
I sure as hell wouldn't hold my breath on Paypal conforming to common sense policies. That much is obvious based on the very existence of this thread and their future plans.
Of reasons to not use paypal again. On top of them randomly freezing and seizing accounts and continuing to pull money out of your bank accounts for subscriptions you no longer have.
While I do not condone the activities of Paypal here, changing bank accounts is pretty trivial these days to short-circuit this kind of automated bullshit.
Not sure why people think that's an impossible task when millions of consumers are forced to change (hacked) credit cards every 6-12 months...
...The CEO of Abatis claims, "We can stop zero day malware — the known unknowns and the unknown unknowns."
Well, with claims like this, all I have to say is good luck offering up a viable defense if shit happens one day to your unbreakable solution.
After all, shit never just happens, right?
Two Words: The Fappening Imagine Government has access to your private files LEGALLY, such that exposure of your files, your property, your life is completely unprotected by legislation?
Why do you speak of legalities as if that were a constraint around our government today?
Let me be clear. They break the law. And there's not a fucking thing you can do about it.
And no, it doesn't matter what puppet you vote into office.
The planes are registered with fictitious companies to hide their association with the U.S. government.
Hide their association from who, exactly? Air traffic control? It's not like you can see who registered a plane from the ground.
This statement just screams "we are breaking the rules and don't want to get caught"
Bullshit.
Let's make one thing clear right now. Our Government doesn't give a shit about being "caught". They haven't cared about this for quite some time now.
They don't give a shit because they know there's not a damn thing you can do about it.
Classified operations staying classified for other reasons? Sure, but I fail to see why they need to hide any unconstitutional/illegal operation anymore. Ever.
"The video game retailer has promised synergies, such as in-store pickup..."
Uh, in-store pickup?
You already paid for that massive chain of brick and mortar locations you run already.
Please tell me you're not going to forget that store is an actual store and offer a bit more than just pick-up service for what is now your own product.
Don't believe them. Don't trust them. Always have an escape plan ready...
I'm curious, if you were given this advice when preparing for the "awesome" job that college promised, would you have wasted four years and thousands of dollars for such an "amazing" opportunity?
I mean seriously...this warning sounds like a North Korean travel brochure.
therefore, smart managers don't use emails.
Sure they do! They just also happen to run their own email servers.
I'm not sure what her rate is, but Hilliary is likely available to answer any questions you may have. I hear she is rather skilled at setting up data retention policies...
Then you lose your offer when you're asked for a recent pay stub.
Then perhaps you short-circuit this from happening altogether, and instead pose the question of relevance when current salary is queried.
It is an odd question. It's like going to buy a new car and the dealer asking you what you paid for your last one.
