I honestly don't understand why they don't do that all the time.
Since you are a fan of the books and you have already seen the first one, you should watch it, even you were disappointed with part one. You may find you like or you might be just as disappointed. Either way, it's about a 3 hour commitment. If you don't like it, don't watch it again. If you do, you've found a movie you enjoy.
I think any content creator that makes content you enjoy. Podcasts, music, whatever. Support whoever makes you happy.
If you work for a company that has a 401k then you need to sign up for it. If the company has a match percentage then that is the absolute minimum you should contribute. And when you are younger you should set it up as a Roth so you pay taxes on it now.
This isn't a thing you should do at a certain age. The younger you start the better. The money just comes out of your paycheck, same as taxes.
Maybe lead and micro-plastics? But that's just a guess.
It's not realistic to expect the average user to read and/or understand the TOS when making a purchase like this. The button that you click says buy, not rent until we decide your rental period is over. Shouldn't matter if it's stated in the TOS somewhere.
As far as not spending money on bad platforms, thats what this community is about. All the platforms are proving that they are bad.
I blame Discovery too, but you're right that Sony is to blame. They have an army of lawyers to go over the terms of the agreements. The buyers don't. When I push the button that says buy, that should mean I own it. Not that I'm renting it for some unspecified period of time.
Overriding or adjusting payment isn't an edge case. The article says the reason they refused was company policy. They had the option and said no.
I used to work overnights and that is exactly what happened. In fall you work an extra hour and get an hour of overtime. In spring your shift would be an hour shorter. The company I worked for still paid us that hour so we got paid for an hour we didn't actually work which was nice.
Really bad take. All stories borrow elements from other stories but this took it to a rediculous level.
Saying that Star Wars stole from Dune because both Paul and Luke are names that appear in the Bible or because they both used electric binoculars is nuts. And that's just a couple examples.
The picture in the article is him as Gurney in Dune.
Here is a clip of James Randi doing the 'individualized' horoscopes for a room full of people. I think this is the experiment mentioned in the image.
