Your name fits perfectly with your comment.

Love the idea of Tesla, getting charged for full usage of the battery that I already bought? Yeah bite me.

andrewta ,

Exactly correct.

And I would say it will happen more frequently.

andrewta ,

I can buy 7 movies on physical media for that yearly price. Maybe it's time to end that subscription.

andrewta ,

I can see why you would come up with that number. The reality is I tend to watch my movies multiple times. This would give me seven new movies per year. On top of all the other movies already own. Plus I still have cable TV, which there’s a good chance I may shut that down and just go with antenna. Which would still give me all of my local channels.

Right now I buy on Blu-ray, but there’s a good chance I’ll probably start buying on 4K once I get my new TV.

    Difference in the types of noises. Back then basically mid range sounds and rumbly low end sounds (this was rare). Today it's all high pitched noises. Hard as hell on the ears if you are sensitive to that (like I am).

    So many people hate the baby boomers but it was the boomers, and the previous generation, that fought for so many rights that we have. And this generation is doing everything they can to destroy what was fought for. It's fucking sad. Roe v Wade (gone). Not having minors do jobs they really shouldn't be doing (going away). Not have minors working long hours (going away). NLRB ( i don't trust that the Supreme Court will find in the favor of the people). IVF (under attack). Gerrymandering getting worse, with no real way to stop it.

    By this generation (I mean the groups that came after the boomers). Did some boomers create some problems? Yes. But Damn did they get some things right.

    andrewta ,

    my point is still valid. the baby boomers (and their parents) fought for a lot of stuff and won and we are watching those things slip away. Roe v Wade was decided in 1973. which group of people fought for that? (and that's just one example)

    andrewta ,

    Which is why I’ve been saying baby boomers AND their parents. Just like today the younger generation were putting pressure on the older generation

    andrewta ,

    Give it a few years

    andrewta ,

    How is this being down voted by anyone?

    Some people have no sense of humor.

    Also this is hilarious

    andrewta ,

    On their back, eyes crossed, babbling incoherently

    andrewta ,

    Many of us have been raising the alarm for years. And being told we are just fear mongering.

    andrewta ,

    1,300 plus fees on top?

    😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Thanks I'll pass

    Sometimes they are on an older package. Which means they have a much lower monthly bill. If they cancel and then sign back up, they now have a much higher monthly bill. So yeah, a single click actually is bad. But that doesn’t mean the button shouldn’t exist. That just means there should be a couple of prompts. For example, the first one is canceled. The second one is a a screen that shows what they are paying per month, With a section next to it, that shows what they would pay if they signed back up. Then that screen there are two buttons that says no I did not mean to cancel, and the other button that says yes, go ahead and drop the service. That actually makes sense. but I actually agree with the statement that a single button that says cancel and allows you to drop the service in one button is actually very bad.
