FCC proposes ending cellphone carrier locks after 60 days
  • Europe (Germany specifically) has their own problems with carriers though.

    When you notify them that you’re cancelling your service, you still have to pay for 3 MORE full months of service after that. Even if you’re in the military and ordered to move. That’s a long time.

    This 3 month period mandatory cancellation notice doesn’t change even if you’ve been with them for 2+ years.

    For US carriers, once you’ve been with them more than the initial 2 years, you are pretty much able to cancel whenever.

  • So everyone knows… the new Apple Card lets you do 0% financing on the iPhone. (You also get 3% cash back for buying from the Apple Store.)

    So you can buy an unlocked iPhone and pay for it in installments.

    Now there is no need to buy from the carriers, have a locked phone, or pay full price up front.

    Source: Me, paying ~$68/month for the unlocked iPhone 15 Pro. Also, I do a carrier’s prepaid plan because I’ve been bested by contracts before.

  • Do 9-5 jobs still exist in the U.S.?
  • 9-5 never made any sense to me.

    I thought working 40 hours was the standard, but 9-5 with a paid lunch is less than 40 hours. So, the math never made sense.

    The only place I heard of people working 9 to 5 was in Dolly Parton’s song. I’m enjoying reading everyone’s answers though, and I’m hoping someone chimes in that has actually worked a traditional, in office 9-5.

  • Americans, what's the plan if Trump wins the election in November? (serious)
  • I had no idea he had a podcast! Thank you so much for sharing this! I just looked it up and am listening now.

    I saw he had a podcast during the 2020 election season too, so I’m going to listen to that while waiting for new episodes to come out.

  • Joe Rogan - suggestions to switch my sibling to better media
  • Agreed, my sibling is superficial. They see muscular males as authority figures (for learned reasons I won’t get into) which is a problem when Rogan (+guests) is spouting nonsense.

    That’s why I’m trying to find similar content that they’ll enjoy, and help break old habits. They are capable of growth and improvement.

  • Joe Rogan - suggestions to switch my sibling to better media

    My 27 yr old sibling is a hard core follower of Joe Rogan 💩

    What are some progressive channels/people/content that I could have my sibling start watching instead?

    Preferably something that has a similar flavor - example: male host, muscular, easy to digest. I think that will make the transition easier.

    My personal preferences are Seth Meyers and John Oliver, but Last Week Tonight (John Oliver) is even a heavy watch for me sometimes!

    [No Andrew Hubbard. He’s another fake.]

    Thank you!

  • I’m baffled that people are able to see their doctor quickly enough to get a note for proof that they were sick and need time off.

    Where are these easily accessible doctors?
