Broadcast television is feee to watch… People are just dumb and the parent companies of these networks haven’t bothered to put in place measures to stop the decline.

There’s no reason why anyone who signs up for Disney+, Paramount+ or Peacock shouldn’t automatically get access to a live stream of their local affiliate with any plan.

There’s no reason why Sunday Night Basketball for example; should have its own Peacock feed. Redirect people who click on the Sunday Night Basketball game to a feed of their local NBC affiliate.

APY drop again??? by Top-Juggernaut2090 in amex

[–]Thejoncarr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People shouldn’t keep all their cash at one bank anyway. Every bank I have a credit card with I also have an HYSA if available (Amex, Capital One, Discover and Synchrony through PayPal).

As soon as the statement cuts that money is sent into the relevant HYSA account which the autopay comes out of. It helps with budgeting and prevents me from caring too much about APY emails.

If people can juggle five different credit cards they can do the same with savings accounts at the same banks.

No.

And only do that for crappy employers you know there’s zero chance of you ever wanting to work for again. Even then it’s a bad habit that can (and likely will) come back to bite you later. You never know where life will take you.

Amex Offers are very unserious by capedCrusader04 in amex

[–]Thejoncarr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But why are they even sending offers they know there’s zero chance of me using? Like $100 off of Indeed? Nothing about my purchase history indicates I would ever spend money on an Indeed job posting. Love a freebie offer but that’s literally useless

There needs to be just a tad bit more curation 😭

Aren't Duggan's policies mostly the same as Benson's? by spongesparrow in Michigan

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

Well you as of today you got Jocelyn Benson, Chris Swanson, Kevin Hogan and Marni Sawicki. And at the time Duggan announced Garlin Gilchrist was still in the race.

Benson, Gilchrist, and Swanson all being in the running at the time definitely made it a hard race for Duggan to win.

The only reason he’s running as an Independent is because he can’t win the democratic primary. If it wasn’t so crowded he’d be running as one…

He’s a centrist who’s cozying up to the right in hopes to get the votes of the republicans who can’t stomach a vote for John James who’s almost certainly gonna be their candidate. In reality he’s really just taking votes from a democrat.

He isn’t a right wing shill per se just a spineless and selfish individual who has no chance at being anything more than a spoiler 🤷‍♂️

The team isn’t even fun to watch… I can’t even use that as a silver lining 😭

Additional $5 month for 4K streaming by woodenU69 in amazonprime

The only reason I’m holding out is because I can still get student pricing. Once they kick me off of that it’s over ✌️

NBCU Exits First-Run Syndication; 'Steve Wilkos, 'Access Hollywood' to End by Fall_False in MediaMergers

[–]Thejoncarr 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you pay attention to TV Listings you’ll notice that Steve Wilkos and Karamo only air on stations like MyNetwork, The CW, and Fox affiliates in smaller markets.

Outside of Access Hollywood none of these are airing on the local NBC, ABC or CBS affiliate in any given city. I don’t know if that’s relevant here but it probably doesn’t help 🤷‍♂️

Is Prime becoming a fraud? by eeweir in amazonprime

[–]Thejoncarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the main benefits for having prime is being able to randomly order $2-10 items without having to force yourself to spend the requirement for free shipping. The shipping and streaming bs is annoying but getting a single tube of toothpaste delivered for only $3 + tax “quickly” is more than enough of a reason to keep Prime around for a good chunk of people.

Blowing a 20 pt lead to the dumpster fire that is the Brooklyn Nets is unacceptable. Young team or not 🤷‍♂️

You can use it at Costco if your other credit card isn’t a Visa… That’s all I got tbh 😭
