It’s a valid fear, especially in retail. Businesses and rich people have helped get a lot of states to pass right-to-work laws, which are basically right-for-businesses-to-fire-you-any-time-they-want laws. They still can’t fire you for protected reasons, but in a lot of states they don’t have to give a reason at all. …

Hell, I worked at a Wal-mart for a few years, initially hired as seasonal help in electronics, and they gave us a ton of training. So damn many videos and tests on the videos we had to take. If Wal-mart is training their employees better than your company, then you’ve seriously hit rock bottom. And it’s not like Home…

I’ve seen others speculating he may have been an air marshal, which would explain the clout. Part of me kind of hopes he was, because United is going to throw his ass under the bus in that case. “The gentleman in question was an air marshal and insisted the lady be removed. The pilot and crew felt they had to obey…

It’d probably be illegal, but I’d be a-ok with them dropping all the garbage bags off each time at the front door of police HQ, with a note saying they’re there for the cop who questioned them.

Well I’m white and this was quite obviously all about race, with the idiot white guy being a racist asshole. I’m pleased that he lost his job.

If the debit card is stolen, or cloned from someone’s legitimate account,even with the thief using the PIN, then the money can be taken back by the bank, because the card was used fraudulently. It’s less common than credit card fraud (including debit cards used as a credit card), but it does happen. This is why some…

Just to add to what you said, not only are saves free on the PC, games that have added support for it can backup saves to the cloud on Steam, Origin & UPlay for free. Additionally, games that support it can backup game data to Google’s servers on Android, Apple’s servers on iOS, and Amazon’s servers if you use Android…

The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act allows for criminal charges when the person causes intentional damage to a computer through their actions. The damage doesn’t have to be physical, and in fact the act was passed intending to deal with computer hacking crimes. Since he caused huge amounts of financial damage, he…

I don’t own a Switch, but it seems like a dick move to make you pay to backup your save files. Xbox One saves to the cloud, even without a paid Xbox Live subscription. PS4 requires a Playstation Plus subscription for cloud saves, but allows you to back them up to a USB drive for free. So only Nintendo makes you pay to…

I did this back when they raised it to $99, and it did reset that. It was a bit annoying, but I’d rather have the savings.

Hopefully something comes of it, I reported a user that was doing nothing but spamming and Kinja support wrote me back to suggest I clear my browser cache. I know tech support folks everywhere are overworked, but if they can’t read a short subject noting the problem is a spammer, then there’s something seriously wrong.

I understand his point, but it’s not entirely accurate. I own three of their games, Ridiculous Fishing, Luftrausers and Nuclear Throne, all of which I got from bundles at Humble Bundle. I guess you can argue that’s not technically a sale, but I paid far less for the bundles than their games retail for, plus I got…

I’ve never heard of interest being paid up front, but some loans penalize you for paying them off early, requiring you to pay a penalty. Which is probably equal to the interest you were hoping to avoid.

The way scummy dealers pressure people doesn’t help, like that last story where they wouldn’t let him leave for 8 hours. Kind of unsurprising he gave in. (And given his language issues, it’s notable it took them so long, maybe he had prepared better than we think.)

Some good friends of mine had something similar happen to them. Local dealer would not let them buy the car they wanted with cash. So they found another dealer in another city to buy the model they wanted. And then stopped by the first dealer in their new car and told them they’d lost their business entirely.

If your only goal was to emulate Red Dead Revolver it might be, but their goal is to create a generic PS3 emulator that can emulate all PS3 games.

I’ve never bought anything from Prime Pantry, but for the past year and a half (up till yesterday) all it offered me was the Prime Pantry credits. Before that, I was getting the digital ones, and opted to use them fairly regularly. My shopping history on Amazon is almost entirely things that have nothing at all to do…

The bonus for selecting the slower shipping with Prime changes periodically. Until recently it was a $5 credit for Prime Pantry instead of the $1 digital credit. You should not sign up for Prime counting on the digital credits on purchases.

You might want to try other doctors on the fertility, not all doctors are like that. Some doctors do care, and do listen, and will talk to you about risks and consider your future life, not just survival. For example, I’m at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the future, and also have recurrent kidney stones.…

They haven’t thought it through at all, if pressed they probably couldn’t tell you who they think covers it. I understand people not knowing everything, but you get people like that who seem to willfully go through life not learning anything. It’s damn near impossible to not hear about Medicare regularly in the news,…
