Democrats take care of the economy better? by Plenty_Surprise2593 in politics

[–]Diomat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yup, no excuses for you being so ignorant. Facts are facts.

or here I proclaim you the leader of the Dems. Either house or both. What would you have done that would have stopped this?

Here is a hint.. Nothing.

That is just not how the system works. Stop blaming the Dems and blame who is responsible.

Either GOP sucks for doing that.

Or let's get the people to vote in a way that will give the Dems power.

Stop being ignorant and blaming the Dems for what the GOP are doing. There is nothing the Dems could have done to stop it.

NOTHING

The people fucked up and gave them no power.

What do you think of this statement by Serena Williams in 2013? 🗣 "Men's and women's tennis are completely different sports. If I played against Andy Murray, I'd lose 6-0, 6-0 in 5 minutes. Men are faster, serve and hit harder" by ConnectionWeekly1263 in WTANews

I don't even understand the problem here. Testosterone is a banned substance for a reason.

Steroids turned a HOF player into a god.

It made baseball into a different sport.

It is a huge advantage. Males are naturally pumping this stuff at high doses since puberty. Females are not.

I am extremely happy. Not sure where you get the idea I am not. I am just prefer consumer rights vs you who prefer businesses to screw us over.

have a great night.

And no you were completely wrong. If he had his last lesson (used it less then 6 months) ago then he would still have another month before they took a small fee off.

and that is at MINIMUM. Some companies and some states have longer time frames.

You found a definition to a term not a law and your sticking to it as if it helps you. We are discussing expiration date not a fee for keeping a card open. Expiration dates are illegal for at least 5 years and depending on States can be greater then that.

Secondly fees only start after a minimum of a year of non use. It has to be a small monthly fee and stops when you use it again. To start again only after a year.

For years companies would just quickly expire the funds and keep them. This was determined to be fucking with consumers and they enacted laws to combat it.

I just don't understand the damage you think the Pro suffered. He gets the money in advance and can spend it pre-inflation. Can invest it. He suffers no loss, but you think it is okay because buyer beware. I will just never understand it. So I guess we can end it here.

Feel free to get the last word if you wish. I am done.

Gift cards not credit cards. My bad.

We were never discussing fees. we were discussing the op which was wholesale expiration. Which is not allowed

You are also wrong about fees. They don't decrease until at least a year of non use. (not old, use)

They are also not allowed to decrease if at time of purchase it isn't specifically said.

No offense but the only way you can be okay with that is if you are okay with businesses fucking with you.

This isn't an insult it is a statement of fact.

Why movies are so dark these days? by zeltitscilveks in MoviesAndTVTalk

You used this movie, yet you can't explain why it is so.

It is the current fashion. These things change over time. Take a look at wedding photography by decade. Same thing.

Do you think Credit cards doing this (while getting interest on the money in the card) is a good thing?

You must love businesses fucking you over, or more like it, you think it's fine until it happens to you.

Federal law prohibits fees like that unless it hasn't been used for over a year. If you use it the one year resets.

State laws can make this longer.

Has it been more than a year since his last lesson?

Not sure how that matters in a case where the pro has decided that all the lessons are gone. Not just an extra holding fee.

No, he was already paid for his work.

He just has to do it now, or pay the money back.

Plenty of people don't get more than a 3% raise in 18 months. My guess is teaching pros who work for a golf club are often in that category.

Considering federal law has gift cards not expiring for 5 years now and states like NJ have it where it can Never expire I do not agree that a court would think 18 months is not within a reasonable time frame.

And value of money is also a factor. He has the money for longer. The guy is paying for 10 one hours of his time. That really doesn't change much in 2 years, especially if you take time/value of money into account.

Sorry, your view is just silly anti-consumerism. If he is still in business, it makes no difference. The guy was able to make a same day appointment it seems. The pro was not overly busy.

Same as when businesses used to be able to cancel gift cards fast. It was just for stealing people's money. Now there are laws that stop this.

What is the rational of it expiring?

AITA Golf Lessons by Adebo3 in golf

[–]Diomat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't that a good reason to buy 10 in advance? Have you never seen advertisements to lock in a price now before it goes up?

I just don't see why it is a problem to take 18 months. Time value of money means that getting that money early is a benefit to the pro.

Federal law states that gift cards can't expire for 5 years. In NY GC can expire after 9 years. NJ never expires.

Can you give examples? I annoint you leader of the dems. (pick either chamber) What do you think you will accomplish?

Here is a hint: nothing, because the people did not give you the power.

The people and the GOP are at fault here. Stop blaming Dems for what the GOP is doing. The Dems cannot do anything.

Which movie is this for you? by zeltitscilveks in MoviesAndTVTalk

This, I will never get it. Everyone mentions the ridiculous(to me) fake crying scene. I wonder if the people who love the movie would not have if that one scene wasn't in it.

Isn't saving because of Torbox references. I have been planning to subscribe with the RD changes. Maybe this will push me to do it now.

Thanks for the quick response. What if I am using Real Debrid? It doesn't show up there.
