I’m 100% never going to download an app for a restaurant. I atopped getting my free World Series Taco from Taco Bell the year they required the app.

Yeah, it’s spamming that guys phone to get get is spcial security number.

I’m 28 and i can barely figure out how to order from the stupid kiosks at McDonald’s. It took my brither and I ages to figure out how to order a breakfast meal with a mocha in a road trip, and after a lot of arguing and swearing i still didnt end up with the meal i wanted. I should have just used the bathroom and used the drive through because the attendant actually understands how to use the system.

I’m saying that those who create are entitled to the value of what they create. If a company asks to look iver some of your work before hiring you, says that they aren’t interested, and then you see them using that work afterwards i doubt you would be saying “well, information should be free”.

If you want to write stories, draw pictures, make movies or webshows and distribute then for free ti everyone, then that’s a noble initiative, but creatives depend on what they create for their livelyhood.

How is creating a popular a novel any different than creating a popular object? Hundreds of hours of labor go into both and the creators are entitled to the full value of said labor.

Say you have an amazing story about the vacation you took last year, and told all your friends about it. You would justifiably be pissed if you later found out one of your friends was telling that story as if they had done it. It’s the same for someone who writes a book or any other form of media.

Exactly. That’s why an email saying you are losing your rights unless you opt out is invalid. You cant prove that i ever saw/received that email

Not a credit union, but the PNC app barely works either. Sometimes it takes me 4 attempts to successfully log on because the app crashes during sign-on.

Sony and Universal own a pretty decent chunk of Spotify, so they have every incentive to force their artists to stay on the platform.

Tou definitely should be replacing your brakes and tires more than once every 8 years

Cryptocurrency is the number one vector for scams and money laundering today despite blockchains.

Except now the statemenhave been evaluated by the FDA, and they are not happy

I’m not downloading Brave, fuck off

Well, i am a single guy living paycheck to paycheck, so buying bulk isn’t really an option. I have a local farmers market that i walk to regularly in the summer, but even that is only a marginal saving compared to the local grocery stores.

Even stir fry. A bag of frozen stir fry mix at Kroger costs $1.79 here. Just a single bell bepper costs 79¢.

As opposed to 30 years ago when you could just walk out and never interact with a person again? “They never called me back” is an absolutely ancient trope in dating.

They can’t because the company is propped up entirely by his cult of personality. If he goes, Tesla and SpaceX will collapse

I had a fun bug for awhile on GPM were playing my library on shuffle it would mostly play songs that started with P. A 30 minute car ride would have 3 songs that started with P and the other 5-6 would be more random.

I send a check to my trash service because they want to charge a fee for me to pay online. That requires a stamp, and my mom sends me card a every few months despite us texting regularly.

If the price of rare stamps craters you can always just use the stamp to mail a letter to your friend. They are onysical items with actual scarcity and legit demand from collectors. Loads of people have collected stamps, coins, and baseball cards for decades and even centuries

He meant automatically issued id. You can ask for various forms of identification documents, but you arent given one just for living somewhere.
