At that point you really want to quit. At least until it gets to the point where the company is trying hard to keep employees That’s when they start handling out raises again

That’s not fair to the kitty. Why can’t they skip ads too? Let’s get the European nut bags to draft up some ridiculous legislation like GDPR that forces advertisers to put another pop up warning potential ata they can’t skip these ads

Not surprising at all. Just as a mobile user, on websites, I don’t think I’ve ever intentionally clicked on any ad. Every fricken time it’s by accident because some stupid pop up or overlay was in the way of closing a modal or ad box.

Yeah but why do kids need to be online at all? For millions of years kids never had computers and they grew up just fine. In fact they grew up with fewer cases of depression etc. I’ve got a kid and I don’t let them online unless I’m there

I wish people would stop asking the government to raise their children. I am a parent. If you are a parent, start acting like one and watch your kids a lot more closely. Or better yet, actually spend time with them and stop using iPads as a

I wish this stuff was taught in school. This is essential knowledge everyone needs to know. Also, your employer is not your friend and definitely not your family.

First they tell me I can use their IDE forever if I pay for it. Then they go back on their word and prevented me from using the thing I already paid for. They’re being spiteful to their customers

AS a consumer I absolutely hate subscriptions. I will never own a subscription to anything I can replace for something else. I bought solar panels to avoid electric subscription, etc. I never buy on credit, etc
