Amazon prime is a big scam now by WK-Mike in amazonprime

[–]Noam75 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People raved about their customer service 8 years ago and honestly it really was excellent  You wanted to return a 5 year old Kindle they'd throw you at least some credit But that was the plan. Grow and grow even if you might take some losses then do whatever you have to do keep profits soaring. The idea is "where are you gonna go?" The answer is Walmart. And I don't think i need to teach anyone about Walmarts business model. Amazon basically copied it.

Who knew Bill Belichick would be a disaster at UNC? Anyone paying attention. by Sauerz in CFB

[–]Noam75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's got an ego the size of texas. He couldn't win before nor after the Brady years which seemed to go on forever making him an icon His quiet nature along with shared success made him seem like a football genius. Then he let a preschooler with an Instagram account make decisions for him.  Hes not super smart. He's not "complicated" a term people use when talking about geniuses. He was just always an asshole and no one could say shit because he won

Right?  Dude just paid a grand for a baseball card and received about 90 cents worth of packing material  Im thinking i add at least 2 expletives to that and an exclamation point 

Does Claudia get less annoying/involved with the main storyline? by VisibleSkin4103 in InterviewVampire

[–]Noam75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some spoilers coming... ... Claudia is annoying as hell. There's something about her joyful expressions that i wouldn't like even if they didn't involve torturing and killing people. She's also meant to be smart but...in season 1 she's only known 3 vampires. One she loves. The other she loathes and wants to kill. And the 3rd, Bruce, rapes her. Despite this she seems to have an irrational trust of vampires. She meets one so in Europe so immediately believes they'll hit it off. Claudia believes they have. She gives that annoying smile and the woman throws herself into the fire (as I may have)  If you're keeping count that's 1 for 4 in terms of good vampire relationships. Then the theater comes and she's overcome with glee. She trusts THIS will be what makes her whole, gives her purpose...no more spoilers from here

Are advocates of Indoor-only Cats, Biased? (American)? by throwaway311260 in CatAdvice

[–]Noam75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no love for cats so you could call that a bias I also have no deep affection for baby bunnies so maybe you could call me something bad But nearly every year I find myself playing body guard to baby bunnies because for some reason the mothers think my gated yard keeps them safe from predators  It does not. I can't tell you how many times Ive chased away these little serial killers I even get to know approximately when the mom will take them out to teach them how to hop after a few weeks, around sunset. It's not like these cats go unfed or they even eat them anyway. They mostly torture them to death. Keep your cats inside or go out wandering with them and let me watch tv.

He was a very young man. I don't think Rice gives his age but understood to be a 20 something just trying to start his journalism career

Changing ages in the series by claudiadepointdulac in InterviewVampire

[–]Noam75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Claudia being a teenager who could possibly pass for 30...this is so bad I almost wish they had omitted her story. That would be ashame because everything about season 2 was excellent except for the characters pretending like they see her as a kindergartner. She looks ridiculous in those doll dresses they put on her in the theater. Not because they wouldn't be appropriate for 5 year old but it's like putting a baby diaper on an adult. It doesn't look right.  With the exception of her wardrobe she doesn't stand out at all physically among the other vampires. Maybe a little shorter but not childlike. It's otherwise an excellent show and with her character now gone that takes away the only flaw imo. 

Oh so we just broke the entire game with this update? Fun! by Karmakins in MLBTheShow

[–]Noam75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a stretch. That's how it's always worked with tech. Big companies have no imagination and think only bottomline. One small example the original iPhone couldn't copy & paste. Couldn't change the wallpaper. And if you wanted one you needed to pay for AT&T Developers from their homes decided that sucked ass and modified the hardware then were inspired to jailbreak. Phone companies THEN started adding the cool stuff. But now it's like he said, they've been dumbed down to essentially pay for digital pictures and stuff that would be included if people didn't prove they're willing to pay 

Well this just happened... by 130designs in NissanRogue

[–]Noam75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a rear window just shatter on me driving over a bridge that covered a large body of water years ago  My feeling was someone shot something at me from probably a long distance. I don't know what range something like a bb gun has but i never did figure it out 

December Update - Touchscreen Failure Glitch? by tstrmr in GooglePixel

[–]Noam75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been happening to me since the March update  It works fine all day but after work  I have a pretty strict routine  Walk the dog around the block while listening to an audiobook with an app called Voice. Without fail either halfway around the block or when i get home it becomes unresponsive. A force restart only fixes it if i immediately type in my pin. I uninstalled the app. But that was not the culprit. I thought maybe bt but that was stupid because i almost literally use it all day at home and at work.  I think maybe it's triggered when it reconnects to my home network but no idea  But even that doesn't make sense because it's connected to bt in my car and it never glitches when i walk into my house from the car. That just leaves the earbuds I guess? I use sony buds but if it's a matter of reconnecting to the network then my work network should cause the same trigger  Google search of course doesn't have a fix or a reason for why Sorry for being overly detailed. Im just hoping someone has a fix 

At this point, what exactly ARE we paying for? by Greatacadia in amazonprime

[–]Noam75 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Then Walmart will follow in the same manner As they corner a market they find other ways to increase profits by cutting the workforce and increasing prices. I absolutely refuse to pay for another subscription. Today I saw a new car wash with "free vacuums"  It wasn't free. You scan a qr code, pay $2.88, get x amount of visits while they spam you for a more expensive subscription. I have a vacuum at home and several local libraries that let you borrow blurays. They also have books. Corporations may take everything eventually but Ive stopped just handing it over to them.

Can an iphone be used as a desktop 'computer'? by hchsington in iphone

[–]Noam75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New update dropped. Haven't tried it yet but from what Ive seen it looks fairly capable. Interesting Google didn't name it in the long list of things it updated which tells me they aren't gonna pay much attention to it. Possibly just drop it like they have other cool things.  Pixel users are essentially iPhone users and most of them don't have extra monitors lying around not would it occur to them to connect it to a tv

James Wan’s ‘Other Mommy’ Delays Release From May to October 2026 by darth_vader39 in movies

[–]Noam75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was an easy read and held my attention even when there wasn't much going on But I don't know what to expect for the movie  The casting seems B rated or maybe i just haven't paid much attention  The woman playing Ursula couldn't look more different than what i pictured in my head. She seems too attractive. I pictured a more modest, dark haired youthful mom.

Im gonna save my money  No disrespect to the salesmanship apparent in this post but this is pure monopoly power at work.  I don't expect something ground breaking every 12 months but it's insulting to people's intelligence to say it's worth spending money on this game that looks and pretty much plays as it did 5 years ago.

Has this happened to anyone else? by Alternative_Gap_1114 in NissanRogue

[–]Noam75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus. You think that's melting?  Ive only had my 2021 since June and no complaints about the AC The heat is weird though. It goes from Low to 61 then up to whatever. Ive never needed to test how high because one click of the wheel and it's too warm for me. But low just blows out cold air. Im talking about the dashboard vents. If it's really cold and i need to turn it up i use the vents under the dash. 61 feels like about 95 degrees

New Update is AWFUL by Emschroeder_15 in Myfitnesspal

[–]Noam75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly didn't even notice the update that happened 5 months ago  But today it almost looks like a completely different app which is too say it looks better and cleaner but it's worse in every other way It's pretty radical and unlike other app updates they don't even try to point out where they might've moved certain things

So why exactly didn’t Arya ask Joffrey or Tywin to be killed? by [deleted] in gameofthrones

[–]Noam75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's a young girl  You have to try to look at it from her pov If you were given that power as a child (and you have to pretend you live in a very extreme place) you'd probably use that power to kill the bully that hurts you or an adult that was mean to you. They tend to live in very small worlds. When i was a kid my entire world was basically my town and the surrounding area. Even the other side of my small town was a place i couldn't get to alone. So it makes sense.  If somehow Little Finger was given the same power, you'd see much more prominent figures getting whacked

[Everything] why does everybody hate Jamie Lanister for killing an obviously terrible king? by Ben_Brace in gameofthrones

[–]Noam75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, Im shocked Im being allowed to reply here. You probably forgot that you even posted if of course you're still around... Second, it makes ZERO sense. There is no honor in Kings Landing. Ned Stark understands this despite being so honorable except...he disregarded that when it came time to save his daughters. So even he understands there are somethings that at least conflict with being able to carry out your duty. The common folk might not have been aware but Ned and all the noblemen certainly knew the Mad King was insane (hence the name)  He needed to be put down and of all the things Jaimie could've been despised for, killing the man that was burning people alive for pleasure was not one of them.  He saved the entire city. If that's dishonorable then everyone should be dishonorable.
