“Toyota. Moving forward. (Even when you don’t want to.)”

She purportedly said she connected with Crumity on the social media platform Snapchat – and that he promised he would help get her adopted by a trusted adult.

Absolute piece of shit

…you must have missed the part where he is a felon, which isn’t allowed to carry after their conviction, and the part where the family knew of his plans to attack others.

Or dvr the programming, use software to automatically cut out the ads, then watch it a bit after it airs. It’s not like watching it live impacts the outcome…

Lincoln is also a division of Ford

If your phone is a pain in the ass, you are definitely doing something wrong. I mean, it’s a rectangle, wtf are you…

Wait, wtf. The 3rd paragraph makes no sense and doesn’t elaborate. It makes it sound like the infection waits until you try to give blood and then strikes. ‘oh you want to help people? fuck you have a stroke right now’

If a passenger flies the plane, then we won’t be liable! GET BILL ON THE PHONE RIGHT THE FUCK NOW, we’ve had a breakthrough

Huh? Every provider I’ve ever used offers auto-pay. Even going all the way back to my first carrier in 2009. When you switch phones (or lose it) you simply swap the sim card over (and order a new one if lost). You don’t lose the prepaid service…

Almost all tmo plans lose priority at 50GB; it’s been a while but I think only the top top tier gets 100GB.

But still, there are several options that gives 50GB+ (or real unlimited) for less, some even without leaving tmo itself (metro is the wholly-owned prepaid-only arm of tmo). Or the Visible (wholly-owned prepaid-only arm of Verizon) plan I mentioned. AT&T offers a plan at $50 with 22GB priority and unlimited thereafter, and they are the least noticeable when you lose priority. Cricket (AT&T arm) has offers now and then for $40 unlimited, and as I recall is real unlimited without deprioritization, though it’s been a bit.

There was Total Wireless (another Verizon arm) that offered unl everything for $15 price-locked in last summer, currently $25 afaik.

You’ve got options to save if you look around :)

In the US at least, porting (transferring) a number from one provider to another takes (usually) ~5 minutes. You can even do it to/from landlines. The carrier/customer service might balk and try to keep you but a little persistence and it’s done. It’s been this way years before I got my first phone number, and that was almost 20 years ago now.

You are, in fact, out of touch. Unless you need phone financing (which should be done through the phone manufacturer, not the carrier, to avoid lock-in) there is absolutely no reason for the typical person to be using a postpaid plan.

I recently moved from an AT&T Business plan (which was grandfathered) to the tune of $95 (but discounted from $125! what a deal) + tax + fees (and a laptop data plan for $20 + taxes + fees), that I had for true unlimited data and the absolute top priority level not found anywhere else from AT&T (unless you were a first responder using FirstNet), to Visible at $30 a month all-in (with $5 discount for 12 months). Verizon priority data, unlimited everything, prepaid. My folks are on the $15 tmo connect plan and have unl/unl/5GB of data (hard capped but they use around 1GB so no big concern). My second line is thru Tello at $6.

I used to be a big geek into this, and it pains me when people are like ‘I need the best plan’ and get absolutely taken to the cleaners when a) they rarely ‘need’ the best and b) the best is nearly always available for less.

You could be paying $25 less every month and get the exact same service. Or cut some corners and save $45.

Actually, they start at $15

Amazon: copying answers from Walmart

Stopped reading a single line before I did exactly that…

I grew up in the 90s and 00s, and I’ve always seen them, but my friend group never visited one, talked about it, not even a passing mention on school campus talking about what we did over the weekend. There were a decent number of stores that were regulars to visit, but Claire’s definitely wasn’t one of them.

Maybe we were more thrifty than others - we’d window shop a ton, but only buy something if it was planned. But the Walmart and Target down the road, that saw a lot more spur-of-the-moment purchases.
