Without speaking for you, is it the fact that it could be triggered accidentally (though rather unlikely) that makes you feel it’s less secure?
As far as the technology goes, it’s the same as using Apple Pay from your phone which is pretty secure. So the only difference I see is the lack of biometric with each instance of using your watch, though it does require your PIN or phones biometric each time it needs to be unlocked, it just effectively keeps that token until the watch is removed from your wrist.
My favorite part is that I’ve been an atheist for 8 years and can still speak in tongues. If it were what they say it is, I’d have lost the ability to long ago.
I double click my power button and Apple Pay is there. Way more convenient for me than to pull my wallet out of my purse, pull my card out, wave or insert it, put it back in the wallet, and put the wallet back in my purse.
It’s not for everyone, but I definitely find it more convenient.
Using your debit card to pay is convenient, but it can also mean you spend more is, I believe, a sentiment that was passed around when cards started being widely accepted.
Cancellations in particular suck, and are one reason I don’t fly budget airlines when possible. It nearly ruined the trip for my friends when they couldn’t get a flight out that night and put a damper on my birthday weekend for sure. I might mention to them the policy you pasted and see if they want to do anything about the extra few hundred they spent.
Thanks for the informative and high effort reply too! Really appreciate it.
She was a lot better before. She ended up with a ruptured disc in her lumbar in like 91 or something and the only treatment back then was a discoctomy, which is a brutal surgery that usually leads to a cascade of disc herniation and rupturing. She ended up having 11 surgery’s over the next 25 years and during that time became very addicted to her pain killers. Then, in 09 she got breast cancer which has been pretty hard on her body, and has left her with literal brain damage today. She always had toxic traits, but her sickness has made it so much worse over the last 15 years in particular.
To boot, we were fundie Christians and I had no idea I was queer, I only knew I never fit in and couldn’t figure out why. I was so isolated i never had anyone that could model what it might be like to be queer or to understand myself. Add in some mild bipolar, ADHD, and a touch of autism and it’s a recipe for failure to self identify. It wasn’t until my 30’s that I started putting the pieces together that maybe I’m not a boy and oh I actually like boys too.
Most of my misery and trauma growing up was more religious than anything.
This is in the US? I had a few friends get fucked with last moment cancellations for my birthday trip to Vegas and the airlines didn’t do shit. One, Frontier, had to be strong armed to get them on another flight and still charged them the premium for the new flight.
part of me will always be dying to know how deep into the cult she sank.
It’s the reason I still stalk her Facebook lol
I broke contact with my mom 2 years ago on my birthday when she (middle school dropout) decided to tell me I (a college grad who learned how to research validity and reliability of various claims and sources) am a gullible fool for taking the Covid vaccine and that I needed to get on YouTube to do my research. It was the final straw of disrespect piled on a thousand other small things.
Do you eat comfort foods when you aren’t strictly needing substance? Vice.
Do you binge watch television? Vice.
Do you doomscroll? Vice.
Do you do anything at all that you look back on and say ‘maybe that’s not the thing I should be doing’ and then go on and do it again? Vice.
No one is so virtuous as to be absent of vice and your self-aggrandizing, holier-than-thou sentiment is disgusting and abhorrent and in my estimation, a vice.
Wtf who are you and why do you have my name?
