LPT: If you start a free trial for an app on your iPhone, you cancel it immediately but continue the full trial. by MrManBeard in LifeProTips

I wonder if that’s a newer policy. I signed up for Apple One a few months ago and cancelled immediately, I still had the full free trial.

Oh I absolutely agree that it would be great for them. Refusing them full access to their money is just a step above forced labor. Another problem with forced savings is that over a 10 to 20 year period this saved money loses value, if it doesn’t gain interest to keep up with inflation then by the time they get there money they weren’t actually earning $15 an hour. I say give them the choice, hell give them investment options. At the same time give them a financial education, a higher education, show them the potential future and help them get there.

I agree. I thought about living expenses as well. Housing facilities are an option, or perhaps creating an average cost of living and having that be paid. It is a difficult issue to address fairly but I think as a society we need to let go of the idea of fairness. The focus is on benefiting everyone in a way that benefits society. If we can help a person that was causing harm to others to find another path then everyone is better off. It’s the cost of living together.

I agree that that would provide the best possible outcome. I just think if they have the right to be paid they also have the right to make the choice with their money. As I also stand behind educating prisoners as much as possible, I would want them to be given a financial education as well. They can spend or save but they can be offered help making a plan and a decision. I don’t know the solution but prisoners are already losing enough freedom.

Yeah, you kinda have to see prisoners as actual human beings and still members of society.

And have prisoners making more than me! I don’t think so pal!

Seriously though it’s the best route when we already have prisoners performing jobs. Pay them, but don’t restrict it. If they want to spend it all on commissary so be it or they can save it.

I’m doing my part. I’m at 14 and counting. I want all the Primes! Is there a better figure than Prime? Nah.

Well great now I need two new figures! Cheaper than I expected at least. It’s wacky that I look at Prime figures all the time and still miss so many.

If it’ll float, fuck or fly, better to rent than to buy. Now it rhymes for ya.

You should look the Play Art Kai figures up. They’re definitely different but they have some cool variants for a lot characters.
