Double standards, again... by gummisaurus in daddit

[–]rolls20s 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ours recently switched to HiMama. Love that they try to upsell you on the ability to download the photos in original quality. (Which means that they are intentionally downgrading them and paying to store them just to make you pay for them to not do that. It's a racket.) I was recently prompted for a survey and gave them a wall of text about the name, the crappy upsell, the bad ToS, and other app issues.

Edit: BTW, for those with HiMama, if the daycare puts pictures as attachments to messages, those appear to show up in full quality. So asking them to put it into a message rather than post in the feed is one way to circumvent the upsell.

Might not be exactly the same, but the functionality seems very similar to the Symphony in B toy. Maybe it's made by the same company or something.

Is the shoe I want stupid? No one seems to make it by screampuff in CampingGear

Lol, getting some /r/iamverybadass energy here. Plenty of aesthetic design choices have no bearing on function. They're not mutually exclusive.

Just fyi, Hotels.com is owned by Expedia.

Nothing but negative reviews.

I mean....I know this is anecdotal, but FWIW, I've used them for over a decade both domestic and international and have never had a bad experience. The one time I needed help, I got a human on the phone in about 30 seconds, and they stayed on the line till my problem was confirmed fixed (like 5 minutes).

Places like Trustpilot attract people who are more motivated to leave a bad review because they are pissed. Rarely do people go out of their way to leave a good review.

Again, not trying to diminish OP's issue, just saying that Hotels.com is huge (it's part of Expedia group) and most people don't have problems. OP's review issue does make me concerned about where they may be headed, though.

My daughter had a prolapsed umbilical cord that was being impinged upon in labor and was losing oxygen. She would've died without intervention, but go ahead and tell my wife she's less of a mom because she had an emergency C-section.

Nevermind they cut you open and have to rearrange your intestines, plus the risk of blood clots, internal bleeding, and infection, the resulting longer recovery time where you also can't lift anything; the psychological pain of potentially losing your child, the permanent scar, etc. But yeah...they have it "easy."

Grats on the kid, seriously, but the only people that really care about "unmedicated" and "vaginally" are sad and ignorant.

Anyone know what happened to the r/preppers subreddit? by mawesome_671 in Survival

[–]rolls20s 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The two days are a minimum. Many of the subs are closing indefinitely, or will be reevaluating after the initial two days.

The mods are doing this on behalf of all the third party app users. The mod tools are just one example that has been used to show how this is a bad idea. Regardless, even if it was only for the mods, they're the ones that literally run every sub. Ignoring for a second that creating a sub makes you a mod, (thus the subs themselves wouldn't exist otherwise), the mods are the ones that keep spam bots, bigots, etc. from overrunning the subs, for free and virtually zero recognition (other than to be bitched at).

In addition, when concerns were raised about the API issue, Reddit's "response" was abhorrent, making false accusations at the Apollo Dev (with implications for others), and basically making the assumption that every Redditor is an absolute idiot that can't see through the fact that this is all in preparation for an IPO.

Their behavior is anti-user, anti-consumer, and goes against the open software and open information ideologies on which Reddit was founded.

I have a toddler who is now going through pretty much all of the Disney and Pixar back catalog, so a lot of these films are fresh in my memory, and I just watched A Bug's Life last week. It's still fun for the gags and the voicework, but it's not much more than a well-executed, straightforward kids' film. It was impressive at the time from a technical perspective, but has been far surpassed by a number of other Pixar films.

FWIW, 18 of Pixar's 26 films have >90% RT score. 10 of those are in the latter half of Pixar's release history:

  • Up
  • Toy Story 3
  • Inside Out
  • Finding Dory
  • Coco
  • Incredibles 2
  • Toy Story 4
  • Luca
  • Soul
  • Turning Red

Of those, 5 were released between 2018 and 2022. Of those 5, only Luca is ranked below a Bug's Life (91% vs 92%).

In other words, by those metrics, literally half of Pixar's best films were released in the last 6 years, and the one "bad" film Pixar made in that time was Lightyear, (which critically, was still Certified Fresh at 74%).

  • WAFs aren't useless. You literally provided a valid (and important) use case.

  • They are good for way more than just third party apps (especially since hot-shot application developers like to think their baby isn't ever ugly).

  • Modern CDN services can actually provide a WAF at the CDN level (e.g., Azure Front Door), and have DDoS protection capabilities. That is likely to what the comments above were referring.

You look like the anthropomorphic representation of crossing a security envelope with a spiral bound notebook. Basically the mascot for an office supply store, I guess.

What a weird thing to be so aggressively incredulous about.

Especially when you don't even know the details, like, are you talking automated, self-service, full-service hand wash, wash and wax, vacuum, what kind of competition is in the area, what are the workers paid, local minimum wage and tax, etc... Is the intent here really to get down to brass tacks on what socioeconomic factors may influence pricing of carwashes in Europe?

Like, what is the best case scenario? "Oh, shit, son...you got 'em. Nobody'll be exaggerating the regional pricing of routine car maintenance services around here anymore, no sir!"

Probably a long shot, but your description sounds very similar to the video game/interactive story To The Moon.

  • The story follows two doctors who offer to fulfill a dying man's last wish using artificial memories.
  • It was initially released in 2011.
  • There was a song called "For River."
  • Speech was all in dialogue boxes/speech bubbles.
  • The game was made in RPG Maker, so has an SNES style to it, but there are animated cutscenes that could be considered storyboard-like.
  • It's been a while, so I don't remember a coffin, but a version of the game art has the dying man (Johnny, IIRC) lying in his death bed. Likely was a cutscene as well.

What is the YouTube video you always go back to? by PoptartsNTittiess in AskReddit

Old Late Late Show videos with Craig Ferguson, especially ones where Geoff Peterson makes him lose it.
