You should look trying to move to a state before taking the loans. Plenty of states need teachers and are willing to pay for you to get your master's as part of retaining you.

The return policy is really what seals it for me. I've never had an issue with returning something, ever.

Other places make it such a hassle and make you pay to return it.

I know 1 or 2 people buying cat litter every month and having it delivered, but why? Just go to the store!

Subscribing to deliveries typically gives a discount, which makes the cost cheaper than going to the store and removes wear & tear on your vehicles and your own gas costs.

Depending on what kind of litter you want, the store might not even carry it. My cat litter is from a major brand, but is one that doesn't get as much in stock at my local places and when itis in stock, it's rarely the cheaper, larger box, so that also increases the cost.

Cat litter is fucking heavy. I don't blame anyone wanting it delivered to their door.

Can you share some companies that Tencent has done this to?

How have they been verifying mailed in tax forms with no pictures for decades?

Seems like it unnecessarily disenfranchises the poor and the elderly. You have to have access to equipment that can record you and the tech savvy to be able to use it.

I don't know any American adult who doesn't have a government issued ID. You basically can't do anything without one.

From the comments I saw on Reddit everytime this was posted, no, it doesn't.

Not really. There's a lot I don't see and can't access without having a FB account. It's been like that for years.

While education helped sure, the real killer was changing smoking from being cool to being a stigma and laws stopping smoking from most public places.

Smoking was changed from being cool to being gross. It makes you smell, it makes kissing you gross, etc etc. Vapes seem to have taken away some of those issues that really pushed the social stigma.

Add to it that nicotine free vapes exist and people use those, so it's not the same singular target as tobacco. What you don't want is something that can be easily debunked making it seem like it's not that bad. (See the many stories of folks trying harder drugs because the DARE programs told them marijuana would be the same as LSD, only it's not).

When I was a kid, there were pay phones so that kids could make calls for when they wanted to be picked up. And we had landline at home so that if you needed to make a call, you could.

Those things don't really exist anymore. And now we have phones with apps that monitor medical conditions like diabetes. Let's single out those kids?

In other situations, the front office is there. That is the function that they have served for generations. Give the office aides something to do.

So make the office staff stay after hours so that the kids with after school activities can make a phone call? Yeah, because fuck the school staff, right?

The horse has already left the gate. You're not going to get it back.

I've had a couple usb-C cords die, and a couple of outlet adapters. Always fun trying to troubleshoot what the issue is.

FPS games tend to be better to run at lower settings to be more competitive anyway. You don't want all the visual noise.

Scripters and cheating was a pretty common complaint in both r/lol and also on inven and in Chinese forums.

I'm all for legalized marijuana, but going into another country and breaking their laws is never a good idea. There are places in the world that would be a death sentence.

Michigan's laws only very recently (during the pandemic) changed to allow this.

I mention Michigan specifically because they mentioned Meijer and Michigan is one of the states you can find those.

Being at a hospital should not be a threat to ones health.

Being in a place where sick people are is a threat to your health. Sick people go to the hospital. What do you think the hospital is for?

The rollout for the 2023 vaccine was awful. I wouldn't be surprised that some folks gave up because you just couldn't get an appointment and then it was out of mind.

The third was at pharmacies only and free only if you didn't have insurance.

I have insurance and didn't pay for any of them.

According to a 90s article I linked deeper in this thread, the medical arm split off from the company in 1999.

I'm not even finding HP listed among MRI manufacturers.

According this NYT article from 1999, the medical arm of HP was announced to split off from the printer company 23 years ago.

Xanth isn't exactly the bastion of safety either.

Oops, you went to the beach and stepped into quicksand and now you've aged so far that you've become sand.
