Honestly, if they didn’t charge extra I’d probably not be so annoyed, but the theaters around me all add like a $3 “convenience” fee for booking online, which is complete bs since it’s actually saving them money not needing to keep as many people working

Capitalists will capitalist, though

I actually kind of dislike the assigned seating at movie theaters myself. It now doesn’t matter if i go early, the theater might already be nearly booked. The only way around this is to either make two trips to the theater or pay extra to buy online.

On the other hand, it does eliminate any rush to get there early once you have the ticket

Depends on what airline you’re taking, Southwest doesn’t assign seats

But most will anyway. Why leave extra money sitting on the table?

Great, so now we get to pay for the privilege of having our data harvested by 814 “partners”

Remember: “if you aren’t paying for the product then you are the product” is no longer accurate, you’re the product regardless of paying or not now.

I think i would legitimately just leave the site and block it at my pihole if i saw that

Or see that and think “they’ll have better opportunities going to a better university” when for the most part people don’t really care where you got the degree, just that you did, it’s vaguely relevant, and accredited

If you can do that for a fifth the cost and no outstanding debt, seems foolish to pay what the big unis are commanding

Also, congrats to your kid, that’s a great field to be in right now

Sure

But why would I care if I’m not going to use it?

Honestly, I don’t care if all my phones going forward start having the port again, I’m sure it’ll make a lot of people happy, but I’ll still likely be using Bluetooth because it’s just more convenient for me

Which was the point. That I feel like you missed. Or misinterpreted. Either way… Cool?

I know of plenty who are more than happy to talk about that

I prefer the headphone jack to be Bluetooth, honestly… Haven’t had a physical port in many years and found I didn’t miss it at all

And have pretty much always been that way, at least in semi recent memory, and the GOP have used this fact constantly by taking credit for their Dem predecessors’ economic policies and by the time the negative impact of their policies start to be seen, the Dems are back in power and the GOP blames them for the hardship

The average voter does not and apparently will never understand that economic policy takes years to fully see and feel the impact

And sadly, a lot of voters don’t understand that, just “I got relief from Trump and got it taken away by Biden” and no amount of explaining will get them to see what really happened

Which many people, unfortunately, consider a good things

Just throwing this out there: it’s not so easy for everyone, red states in particular love to add roadblocks to it including closing so many polling places that voters at the remaining places will likely face many hours of standing in line, particularly in areas more likely to vote blue, and have even passed laws making it illegal to shuttle people to the polls or pass out water to people waiting to vote.

Starfield, which I don’t get the sheer magnitude of rancor it gets… It’s not perfect, but it’s still a good game, and none of its issues are “unfixable”, no matter how much its haters want to believe they are

Genuinely had a lot of fun with it and looking forward to content updates, as well as yes bug fixes and gameplay improvements (I did say it’s not perfect, but none of Bethesda’s games were really better at launch and most of them got slammed initially too)

“Foolish mortals” is my go-to gender neutral form of address

It’s okay, it’s mutual, the KIAs hate you right back

What misinformation am I spreading? That I think something is or isn’t going to happen?

I assure you that it is very accurate that I’m prepared to see him find some way to weasel out of this, and I’m not sure how you could possibly know whether or not I think the things I say I think.

Again: I’ll believe it when it happens. Not before then. I’m done believing the right thing will happen when it comes to him since it so rarely has.

I’ll believe he’ll pay when he pays. I see no reason to start thinking he’s going to do what he’s supposed to, required to, do when that’s never been what he’s done. I honestly doubt he’ll give up that money until it’s forcibly pulled from his accounts.

Maybe this time will be different and the rules will actually apply to him. Maybe this time Lucy won’t pull that football back. Until that actually happens, forgive me if I’m sceptical that things are going to be different this time around.

He lost his ability to do business in one state, which likely just means he’ll do it by proxy

And I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if he weasels his way out of paying somehow
