Same coat, different color.
It’s the exact same mental illness that makes people espouse far right views. It is, currently, still more common on the right.
It’s a way to get attention. It’s a way to feel empowered. Arguing with them is feeding their coping mechanism. Either don’t engage or state your position in a positive way that doesn’t attack theirs.
Yes, RCMP and PFM, this comment right here.
The only conspiracy that I or people I know may have given credence to is the idea that people high up in the House of Saud knew about, condoned and/or funded the attacks.
And there’s actual evidence that it’s not just a theory.
Phones are becoming the new wallets…
Now I want a phone case with a chain that attaches to my belt.
(Like the kind bikers and punks used to wear.)
That’s not a dumbphone. It has email, a camera, an e-reader and , looks like, a few other apps.
Hopefully, they work up another idle investigation. We really need more articles about things that happen on Reddit.
Same. And eggplants scared the hell out of me after seeing that. I guess they looked enough like the things the aliens came out of.
No, they can’t. I’m not saying they aren’t full of shit but they have to look at how much they could get from Netflix/Apple or whoever and calculate the opportunity cost of licensing vs running their own service. They’ll want to factor in control, branding, etc., etc.
They’re greedy fuckers trying to maximize their bloodsucking…errr…profits.
When they hit a subscription price that loses enough subscribers to make licensing appealing they’ll either lower the price or license the content.
As long as people will pay enough to make running their own service the most profitable option, that’s what they’ll do. And they’ll squeeze subscribers to their breaking point.
There’s the adage, “spend your money where you spend your time.”
If you’re going to spend a lot of time in front of a TV, get a nice one. Cook a lot? Get the good knives and pans. Don’t read much? Don’t buy an e-reader or book subscription service. Not big into DIY? Get cheap drill/driver for the rare times you need it.
There’s plenty of exceptions but it’s a nice general rule.
This isn’t a “big bad Apple” story.
Just one review of the app from the article:
“I bought this to get what looks like a Rolex watch face … it’s not a face it’s just a picture … hands don’t even move,” wrote one customer. “Does this company have permission from Rolex to do this? I took it they did but I doubt it. Pure scam to get money from people. I want a refund it’s not acceptable. I will also report to Rolex and see if they do anything.”
It also sounds like they may have been faking reviews and other shenanigans.
