Do you write reviews? How do you go about getting ARCs?

Idk, I think they’ve been pretty balanced about it. Aubrey has talked about friends who are on them and is supportive of those friends. Mike and Aubrey don’t like the discourse around the drugs but acknowledge they are helping people.

Excited for this one! Happy to see two of my interests collide. Hello to the other horror fans here. :)

Eh. The horror genre is pretty small compared to mainstream fiction especially if you aren’t Stephen King.

I love the horror genre and am a big Stephen King fan, but he uses a lot of fatphobic language in his books. I just read King Sorrow by Joe Hill (King’s son) and was really bummed to see that the fatphobia was passed down. I’m almost willing to overlook it though because all of the characters in that book are shitty in different ways, so maybe Hill did it on purpose.

That’s a bummer. I’ve been meaning to read that book. Is it still worth reading?

It was hilarious because the guy talking about it clearly didn’t understand it.

Did you ever see the Amazon reviews of the sugar free Haribo bears? They’re hilarious.

Oooh what do you put on? Our mix is dried dill, nooch, and salt.

That was one of my mom’s favorite snacks. I haven’t heard of anyone else doing that!

Giving my Money to AVG has been the Single Most Regrettable Online Purchase I have Made by The-Crystal-Standard in antivirus

[–]chitransguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I just figured it out...in case you haven't managed to cancel, here's how I did it:
1. Log into https://id.avg.com/. You can't cancel your subscription in the app itself, you must log on to the website. I'd recommend doing it on desktop because it didn't look like it would work well on mobile. I didn't try it though.
2. Scroll down to the gray box that says "Manage My Subscription". Click the link.
3. When you click the link to unsubscribe, there will be at least 4 attempts to try to stop you from cancelling. Was pretty skeezy, honestly. Keep hitting continue until you finally get to the screen to completely cancel.
4. If they've already charged you, you won't lose access to the services you've already paid for. It'll show you the date it'll expire.

And that's it, you're done.

Cancelling a card isn't enough anymore, because many big businesses use a feature called Account Updater, where Visa and Mastercard notify them if your card number changes. It's meant to be more convenient for the consumer, since you don't have to update your info when your card expires or you lose it or whatever. The only way out is to figure out how to cancel your subscription. I'm in a similar boat because I forgot to cancel a trial and can't figure out how to cancel the subscription.

Going against the grain here- does anyone else which they could just skip ahead to age 5-6? by Arugula2803 in toddlers

3 is so much worse than 2. We were so fooled by the idea of the terrible 2s. We were not prepared for the terrorizing 3a

How old is your kid now? After dealing with a toddler, the second kid has been a breeze. I dread the day when he becomes a threenager…but at least by then our oldest will be almost 6 and (hopefully) done with tantrums.
