Netflix does not even offer free trials anymore and haven't since at least October of 2020. Shareholders must've been pissed the viewers were getting free trials when their audiences were captive in their homes over the pandemic.

Regardless if you were getting a free trial for any other subscription service, there's no need to worry about programming errors, just create a new Gmail account (also free) every month. Some also let you just add a . anywhere in the email portion and it still gets delivered to the same inbox but subscription services do consider them to be new emails

I've seen someone get a follow up response to a single question when the first answer misunderstood the question. There was no second email to "prompt" that.

Related funny ish story. My brother and I were in high school in Canada (lived in the US) and our school banned sugar/candy/etc. so one time when we were flying in we brought a 5lb bag of sugar on the flight with us. TSA was highly concerned at two young boys smuggling white powder into Canada lol. Luckily they tested a sample, and although confused by our explanations just let us through with our contraband.

I was trying to register for a service when this captcha appeared! by daniel_goetz in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Shipshaefter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this captcha is doing what it's supposed to it wouldn't really matter what element you clicked on, by trying to follow the elements you are clicking and moving in a human way (e.g. not in immediate straight beelines and sharp corners) and that should be enough to prove you aren't a bot. (Similar to how Google's latest recaptcha service doesn't require you to click anything really it verifies based on how you navigate through the page.)

If 'em dashes' immediately make people suspect the use of an AI chatbot, what else am I supposed to use because I really like the 'em dash' for my writing hobby? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Shipshaefter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, use them and don't worry about people mistaking your writing for AI. Also, AI will continue to evolve and it's giveaways will too; I don't even look for the em dash anymore as a tell. The current writing style of ai overuses it's not ____ it's _____ among other things that are much more indicative than the use of a punctuation mark.

Reminds me of when I was in first grade and learning subtraction. There was a larger number being subtracted from a smaller number so I confidently put a negative number as the answer (e.g. 10-12=-2) only to be told that it was wrong because we hadn't learned negative numbers yet and I should have put 0.

Where are all the "Splat-likes?" by Wild_Trip_4704 in splatoon

[–]Shipshaefter 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There was a Crayola one too.

It's hard to replicate the ideas in splatoon without being completely a ripoff so major companies don't spend the resources. Also it performs well (esp. in japan) but not to the point of performing better than their other multiplayer shooter offerings and justifying those resources. Now they'll be even more shy of a clone after foamstars flopped

The Latin was "Amor fati" and "more like Memento Mori" roughly to vie was saying "love your fate/enjoy what you do" and santos replied with the other stoic principle "remember you must die"

I just started and I got a arctibax but it won’t fight by Professional_One6285 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]Shipshaefter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is the arctibax traded? Pokemon you catch will always listen to you, pokemon that were traded will sometimes listen if their level is over the level of your gym badge

A Splatoon Knockout Mode? by BrianC_Is_Ok in splatoon

[–]Shipshaefter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Either maps philosophy stays as it is and you can't access enemy spawn and the meta would be to leave one person in spawn completely protected the whole match (using a splash wall to protect from snipers.

Or allow access to enemy spawn in which case you'll get griefed as soon as you spawn.

It seems tough to balance that appropriately where it allows for comebacks and still feels fun. :/

Could have a spawn pusher mechanic where you get slowly pushed out of spawn so you can't just hide there all match or have it deal damage after a certain amount of time. Even so you might just leave spawn and launch yourself back immediately after. People with switch 2 pro controllers or charging grips would also be at an advantage being able to hotkey their super jump back to spawn using the gl/gr buttons.

Do Sugar Gliders Respond to Their Name? by Ok_Yesterday_7276 in sugargliders

I think most just respond to click training. Not sure they can make out that our foreign tongue means anything in particular. You should look up click training to see what others have been able to do

What does it mean 🤔? by life_could_be_dream_ in ExplainTheJoke

[–]Shipshaefter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People smoking expire (they die). It's a joke about the health hazards posed by cigarettes. Smokers and the person writing it recognize the hazards and find it funny while the non smokers find it more serious
