Putting it on the dispenser is too much work. Just put it on top and spin a few squares off with your finger in the roll when you need it.

It’s pretty easy to not get caught surveiling customers.

All you have to do is… Not surveil customers.

See? Who says we can’t go back to the 50s?

If you think THAT’S stupid, wait until you see what they start THIS one over.

You don’t get it - since I don’t personally understand where that weather information comes from, it is both easy to get and is magic and comes for free from nowhere. It can’t be expensive or hard to get because I get it for free on the internet.

Exactly as written in the Constitution, right?

“The President can start wars unilaterally and Congress has to pass legislation to stop them.”

It doesn’t say the FUCKING OPPOSITE, does it?

Fucking clown shoes.

Yup! The very idea that we can know anything from gathering information is abhorrent to these people.

The only source of authority is “what I say right now”. The end.

When I found out what it meant when other countries have sovereign wealth funds…

I have no idea how most people in America keep convincing themselves they’ve somehow got a good deal.

Yeah… I also saw Man in the High Castle.

Because consumer protection and regulation seems to have stopped being a real thing after Reagan. Since then everything good has been legacy agencies patching at the edges where they had authority (all gone now thanks to the Supreme Court - see Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo).

Buckle up. It’s only going to get worse.

(This is extra ironic because buckling up is only even a thing because of consumer protections. So I guess get ready to be thrown through a windshield.)

Not if you do it on a data center construction site, make it look like a homicide, and stop the construction until the investigation completes.

Instead of buying and selling futures you have to get into the pasts market.

Sorry, they’ve already got a GOAT.

Sure, it’s all stupid, but I DO want to see him pick a fight with Trump again so he can once again back down with his tail between his legs at the braying of a pedophile blob who’s being outnegotiated by a nation a fraction of the size of his own via meme videos.

You got lucky. Companies can, and frequently do, either completely go under after a few years, or revamp their service, shutting down the old one, and saying “This is a NEW service. It requires a NEW lifetime membership.”

Unless it’s protected by a legal definition, the only thing between your lifetime membership and getting nothing at all is the good will of a company that does not care after they already have your money.

Even if they ARE an “honorable” company, and I use that term loosely, the moment someone buys them, they have absolutely no obligation to honor lifetime memberships. Most EULAs for lifetime memberships give the company total discretion to shut it down at any time for any reason.

Beyond that, $750 seems a LOT like a “kill the golden goose to get the eggs” move. Would look GREAT on a quarterly report of revenue, coming with huge executive bonuses, before selling and getting out, and letting someone else manage running the infrastructure on reduced revenue.

Bottom line? The lifetime membership MIGHT work out, but it’s a GAMBLE. It’s a gamble that you get in early enough to get your value out before the marks in a ledger indicate it’s not worth providing anything for you anymore. Meanwhile, doing the Open Source solution is free now, free forever, and has NO gambling component.

Pro-tip: If the company hasn’t already been around for over 100 years, NEVER buy a lifetime pass for ANYTHING.
