I finally was able to cancel a Telus home security service after they tried to put me in a 3 yr contract. I finally was able to cancel. I sent the equipment back and then they started charging me other monthly fees as if I had renewed. I didn't even have their equipment anymore.

another 45 minutes on the phone and they say it is finally cancelled. But who knows. I'll probably have to call again when they take the amount from my bank account despite removing my bank info from their site.

A company with 19.2M users. Imagine how many people are robbed "by mistake." This is not a mistake but part of their internal procedures.

Cancelling a service even when contract is over is made difficult on purpose.

I have experienced every single one of those situations. Such a frustrating but accurate article.

Funny how economy was supposed to be a tool for humanity and civilization. Instead it has become the purpose. Humanity's well being and civilizations are now secondary to a healthy economy.

I've had the same thing for years. You should get checked for sleep apnea... I have it but unfortunately the CPAP machines don't let me sleep. I cannot get used to it.

But I sneeze at least 50 times and blow my nose as much for one or two hours after waking up.

The rest of the day my sinuses are clear. I've asked Doctors and haven't gotten any real solutions.

I had mine set up like that. But it'll default to the clean version if you ask voice to play a song.

My biggest problem is the censure. I'm in my car, "hey google play teenage dirt bag on spotify". Sounds great until the "her boyfriends a dick he brings a [silence]. And he'd simply kick my ass..."

Or Jay-Z story of OJ : "rich jigga, poor jigga, house jigga, field jigga"

What? Seriously loses all context and meaning.

Spotify redefining the message of whatever was happening... Some cracker ass Swedish company censuiring the n-word when used by an artform that is legitimate and on purpose.

That's why I collect vinyl. Can't change that shit up on my listening it. It's the way it is. If Jay Z wanted to use the N word then I want to hear it like it is. Not some bullshit "jigga" shit wtf is that? Isn't it denying his message?

The USA requires much more of Brazilians visiting the US. This is simple reciprocity.

Have you checked how many military bases the USA has in other countries? The USA doesn't give money for nothing. They have military presence in every timezone/hemisphere.

USA has to respect the nuclear arms treaty... Ukraine was promised protection in return for giving up nuclear weapons.

Collecting vinyl records. I started 10 years ago when you could get lots of records for 3-5$ per record. Now everyone is crazy about collecting and they can cost 40-50$. Was a great investment if I sell them. But I enjoyed collecting them regardless of value.
