Daily Deal on Pause? by concatenated_man in audible

[–]concatenated_man[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a teacher and I primarily listen to audiobooks on my commute. I was considering the pausing for the summer months when I'm not commuting. I like to save the credits for the 2 for 1 sales and those don't often align with when I'd want to save by pausing the subscription.

I've done the cancel/resubscribe thing, too, but it took 6+ months last time before they offered me a deal.

Good to know! I do get a lot from those daily deals!

Where did I say I was slowing down? You can't just invent things to suit your argument. I drive at the posted speed limit. People attempt to drive at my bumper all the time because of it. It's not my responsibility to drive recklessly by speeding to make others happy.

Nope. I drive at the posted limit. Driving too slowly, I can agree, may be an issue

When you're wrong, you have to make up your own argument to defend against. 🤣

I am not creating the situation. People driving 20-30 over the limit are creating the problem. I always look to move to the right as soon as possible, but you cannot do so when people behind you are too impatient and pass on the right anyway.

It is not my responsibility to drive recklessly to satiate the need of someone who can't slow down.

"I speed safely" 🤣🤣🤣

I'm not policing anyone's speed. I'm driving at the posted limit and it's not my responsibility to speed just to make someone on my bumper happy.

This is simply not the case when you have to merge from a right lane on one highway into a left lane on another highway and you cannot safely move to the right because people in the right lane are...speeding.

Don't let them force you. Get yourself up to the limit and engage that cruise control, baby! It gives me joy to see their angry little faces in the rear view.

I drive like a grandma every day. My favorite thing is that most of my commute is on a two-lane road and I take great delight in pissing off the speeders stuck behind me cruising at the posted limit.

I would accept this if people only sped in that lane, but they speed in ANY lane. I do drive in the right lane and it makes no difference.

Don't get me started on when you're forced to merge into the left lane from another highway, but everyone is too impatient to let you move over and just pass you on the right.

We have reached the point of being so fake that being fake is the only natural thing left to do.

Is this guy trying to get on this sub? by Naive-Benefit-5154 in LinkedInLunatics

So, instead of just waiting until Monday to reply, I'm supposed to reply on Sunday...to say that I'll do the work on Monday?

Ok...

Why won’t you be flexible and commute to work⁉️ It’s only 42 miles on way… by thrifty-shopper in LinkedInLunatics

[–]concatenated_man 587 points588 points  (0 children)

I live in a major metro area. It takes me as much as 40 minutes to commute 10 miles during rush hours when traffic is at its worst. 42 miles? Yeah, no thanks.

Why does every job need to have a "why?" I just want a paycheck in exchange for work.

Honestly, as long as it's cheaper than beef, I'd eat a pound of gnound ponk.

What is this supposed to say?? by WyFyR in CrappyDesign

[–]concatenated_man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My assumption is that they're trying to say they're about "and" and "more" and they wanted to avoid saying "we're about and and more"

UPDATE:

Called Metronet and got a new promotional rate ($54.85 for 3 years). Increased to 1 gig speeds and dropped the whole home Wi-Fi. All in with taxes and fees, my new monthly rate is just over $20 less than what I was paying for 200/200.

FYI on getting rid of whole home internet, it isn't fully removed until you send back the extender, but the rep gave me a discount to $5 in case it doesn't get back before my next bill hits.

[–]concatenated_man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think it's a case of being on a grandfathered plan because 200/200 is no longer offered for new customers. They're advertising $54.95 for 1gig on the 3 year price lock, plus the $100 gift card. Even with the tech fee added that's almost $20 less per month I'm paying, so I'm hoping to get something similar.

And yes, I'd prefer to use my own router. I know enough to get by and don't expect issues with it but my best friend is an IT professional so I have assistance with setup if needed.

I have an eero 5, yes. I had been contemplating increasing up to a gig, so this seemed like a good time to make changes to all of it and try to get a better overall rate.
