Fun fact though, more than likely if you’re part of the program, you don’t have privileges to ask for an arch or to stop the program.

WWE writing notes I think is half the problem.

So they’re trying to redo the 'tude era.

I get how it sounds, but I had the exact same situation in it freaking pissed me off to the point where I didn’t bother with any of the other side quests.

When the final upgrade requires you to keep a sword that was weaker than the sword you just got, and you’ve never kept another sword prior to this, it kind of makes sense that you think it’s okay to sell that old sword. Till it turns out you get another quest immediately after saying hey, if you have this old sword you can upgrade it. They could have avoided that whole situation if they just allowed me to buy it back. Or create it again, oh but it uses item quests that are exclusive to prior quests you can’t redo, so you really only get that one chance.

Finally saw some Cid!

So my assumption about this being a Far Cry on Pandora was pretty much spot on. Sounds like it’s too buggy for its own good too.

I moved away from chrome over a year ago, once they started talking about blocking ad blockers. Firefox works great, easily imports your passwords and bookmarks, and supports all the ad block extensions I like.

Google feels ok in doing this due to their dominating share in the browser market. In reality, the most influential users of their products will end up finding alternatives, and never coming back. These users tend to convince other users to follow. It’ll be a slow downturn unless Google ramps up their efforts, but it’ll happen.

I really appreciate these posts. Thank you for the detailed competitions!

The top of the entire starting page is an ad. You gotta navigate past it to get to your apps. It’s so engrained in your mind that you don’t even realize it’s an ad anymore.

Dark patterns are the bane of my existence.

My job has them for when people try to cancel services and I’ve been fighting like hell to get rid of them. But business is worried if people can cancel super easy, they’ll do it. It’s like they forget we have an actual quality product that people want to have. It ends up looking like an abusive relationship when a customer tries to leave. It takes one click to add service, but it takes a phone call and a transfer and a sales pitch, and then finally a scheduled deactivation at the start of your next bill cycle because God forbid we give you some money back.

I’m the exact type of customer who avoids businesses that do shit like this. And I’m not alone. If you make it 10 times harder to drop a service than you do to add a service, you should go fuck yourself. Gym memberships, monthly subscriptions, recurring monthly shipments with auto billing. Never sign up to this stuff without knowing what you need to do to deactivate. Or sign up with a preloaded visa gift card and a 10 minute email so you can just shut everything off when you leave and they can keep their bullshit account.

Why does it sound so much like the gun debate?

Forreal. This makes me so happy

I guess I misunderstanding delivery optimization, I thought that was only with your local network?

Arizona ice tea is now $1.39 where I’m at in the midwest.

Even Cigarello’s, which were always 99 cents as long as I can remember are now listed at $1.39 where I’m at.

It’s not the show that’s the problem. It’s your nephew.

Really? Like honest to God? They aren’t gonna gimp the implementation, are they?

I typically don’t concern myself with fake screenshots.

Yeah… It’s just not as good as it used to be.
