Except for the <.1% of users who do things like compile their own version of Infinity with their own user agent. They're still there and not looking at ads.

Capital One lets you do unlimited virtual cards for each service. X1 gives you the ones like I described. There are others.

Not missed yet. Doesn't start filming until spring.

That's just garbage.

You may want to see if your bank will let you create disposable cards. I have two credit cards where I can create temporary or reloadable cards at no charge for transactions.

So if I wanted to trial something, I would create a card with $1 on it. The trial starts and does the test transaction. I forget to cancel before the trial is over, but the card has no money so it automatically cancels.

If I wanted a subscription to HBO, I could create an HBO card and load the amount for it every month. When I cancel, I don't have to worry that they'll try to keep charging me because I just don't add anything else to the card. It also makes me think about whether I'm using a service every month.

It saved me a few hundred bucks not terribly long ago. I tried a clothing subscription box that was absolutely terrible. So I contacted their customer service to cancel because they don't have a real way to do it on their site. They didn't get back to me in time and attempted to charge my card for another box. Luckily it was on the temp card and there was no cash on it so I just got a rejected charge on my card.

It's like the people who call Ted Cruz stupid. They're absolutely wrong. Those two aren't stupid, they're just terrible people (assuming Cruz is a person) and are actively working against the well-being of the vast majority of the US.

Yep. A few of the big boys are pushing for hybrid but I think the great majority will never be full time in the office again.

Probably not. It's pretty high up on the top for the last 6 hours across Lemmy instances so there are likely people who aren't really looking at where they are.

That's ok, you're allowed to doubt reality. That's the cool thing about the real world. You can doubt it all you like. It's still real no matter what you believe.

The ad gets into your brain just like this liquid gets into this egg.

I think you're absolutely wrong (anecdote incoming after my question), but let's assume for a second that you're correct. Why were the millennials as children blamed when they're not at trophy shops buying their own trophies?

Anecdote, as promised: I grew up in a very small, very conservative town. They love Supply Side Jesus and the Prosperity Gospel, and they hate the welfare queens that they were sure stole every dime of their tax money. In the 90s they got way into making sure THEIR kid got trophies while simultaneously complaining that all kids got trophies.

I don't believe the millennials, who were children in the 90s, bought their own trophies. I don't believe it was only progressives thinking their children were snowflakes. I also don't think you'll care because it doesn't square with your beliefs and you don't seem like the kind of person that's intelligent enough to process any new information that isn't about Jesus getting tougher on crime.

On average I'm as drunk as the average drunk.
