Not going to play semantics here. There is definitely a different level of trauma for a person to experience for something they are physically forced or threatened by force to endu…

I'd have to assume that this could include anything from what they felt was some amount of coercion or pressure to have sex up to rape.

Definitely a part of it for some. Me, I cancelled due to the low quality of their catalog. A decade or so ago, they had a really strong library of media. Now they don't. What they …

Appreciated when the 3rd party's website throws up a demand to subscribe to their newsletter and no user-friendly options to close said demand.

The amount almost doesn't matter (it's definitely on the high side compared to alternatives). They can definitely afford it if they have a reasonable budget. However, how Vimeo has…

Bingo!

Right. Vimeo has a pleasant player. I like it. However, it's essentially the same service otherwise. Point your customers or business partners to a URL and they stream it from ther…

$3500 for hosting on top of what they already paid for hosting for the current length of their plan, with 7 days notice to vacate otherwise. And then how much next week? The week a…

> If you're not willing to pay for bandwidth you're not a legit customer. If they're not willing to pay a hefty premium for it? I don't follow your comment, buddy. They're already …

You do realize that's ~60% of what they attempted to shake them down for, right? An existing customer? With no reasonable notice?

Interesting. There's one Patreon I subscribe to that used Vimeo. I didn't realize it was what Patreon apparently exclusively used? This sounds like a BIG problem for Patreon, then.…

It's not even a sensible or pro-rated increase. Just a shakedown.

Ah, did not see this one, sorry!

Giving the creators a week or less notice and demanding such a sharp increase in fees is nothing less than a shakedown. Had they given them a 30 day heads up, I can't see much room…

Unless it's completely dead, every pizza shop runs multiple orders at once and their drivers are in and out swiftly. The food stays fairly hot thanks to commercial heat bags. For t…

That's great, they're just two items and a lot of people didn't routinely buy flour (or something like yeast). Meanwhile, everything else has gone up in addition. A number of produ…

Simply comparing prices from the 90s onward. They've risen significantly more over time while wages haven't seen a bump here in Ohio since 2008.

Prior to the pandemic, I always advocated for a couple weeks worth of non-perishables to be at the ready. Storms can cause issues getting to stores (or shipments arriving), and ill…

I don't even know how a person could type your third sentence and submit it. Amazon already gathers, utilizes, and monetizes data gathered from devices it's sold to customers. It's…

Just realized it's the Stylus profile i'm using to give the site a theme I like. It makes the upvote icon invisible.

Too new, buddy. I guess you need 500 Karma to do so?

In the absence of being able to upvote this, I'd just like to post that I appreciated reading your article.

I'm nearly 40 and have been driving for decades. I recently downgraded to liability and it's still $55/mo for myself and my similarly aged significant other.
