Excuse me?? A reply by THE Alex Sadler about the TV show Chuck?? I think I can turn off the Internet for the day. I’m satisfied.

Easier to replace the light switch at that point

Oh I don’t own the stock. But you can’t deny that it’s been a great asset for anyone that got in early. Saying it’s down 30% from 6 months ago without looking at the big picture is short sighted.

Also, fuck Elon

Up nearly 800%

Yooo hooo

Are you making a suggestive cat call? Or do you just like the chocolate beverage 😊

… But now I’m suuuuuuper curious

The adblock changes is a shit stain, absolutely agree with you there.

For my household, personally, it won’t make a difference because I have a pihole blocking everything from all devices. So that change isn’t enough to persuade me to make a move.

But yes, anyone who doesn’t have pihole of and uses adblockers, it will be 100% understandable for them to jump ship.

For the overwhelming majority of users, they won’t know the difference between using the two. People here are on a high inhaling the air in this echo chamber.

I’ve used Chrome on every device imaginable since Chrome was a thing. I’ve had a negligible amount of problems, in all my years. I absolutely hate that Google shuts services down when they get bored. And I absolutely hate what they did with Google Music and Google Chats, and Domains.

I move off Google services when they shut down. Besides that, I’ve no problems with the ones I use (minus nitpicks and the above products).

So to anyone here feeling bad and are afraid to comment on here because they don’t want to lose Internet points, fret not. There are millions of us perfectly satisfied using Google, PAYING for their services where we see fit, and generally not worrying at all about any of this.

I’m no law expert, but I have dealt with POS and retailers, and their tax people. My understanding is that you always report the loading of a gift card as a liability. It may be categorized as a different liability because you don’t necessarily owe that money back. As in, most gift cards are non refundable.

When the holder of the gift card redeems it for products, the balanced used gets deducted from your liability and is added to revenue.

If Starbucks were straight reporting it as revenue with no explanation, I can see that being scrutinized. But if they are reporting it as potential revenue, then that’s up to shareholders to weed through that and make investments based on that.

I’m not understanding the illegality here.

Thank you for the citation and explanation.

I know I’m coming off all boot-licky, but this all seems legal. If Starbucks is disclosing the gift card amount as a potential to be moved from a liability to revenue, and if this is legal in tax laws, then this lawsuit is overreach and makes it seem like they’re just looking for a payout.

It’s been pointed out already that you can use the remaining balance of a gift card to zero it out and pay whatever is left in the order with another means of payment.

This lawsuit is describing how gift cards work. Might as well sue all merchants.

They didn’t provide proof of that allegation. At least, not in this article. The consumer group alleges that Starbucks claims unused gift card balances as revenue. Are we sure they aren’t showing a liability for the respective amount? I didn’t look through their corporate filings, and the article doesn’t provide citations from public filings. Just accusations.

I smell a load of shit from OP

OP: “that movie, with the director”

Google: “… here’s all the movies?”

OP: “noooooo”

Don’t feel bad. Plex is working wonders for me. Yea, there are things that annoy me about it, like the volume issues. But all in all, it passes the “wife test”.

99.9% of the people here who trip over themselves to shit on Plex and recommend any other service that requires IT knowledge to consistently and easily give access to family members, don’t have to deal with the “wife test”. Substitute “wife” with husband or mom, or grandma.

Don’t kink shame!

A refundable $250 != Down payment

Some of you sound like the annoying stereotype of vegans pushing their diet lifestyle.

Remember when he depended on the workforce and labor of others? Then remember when he stepped away from running a company and stopped depending on labor?

That’s when he magically turned “for” employee rights and sustainability. Weirdly coincidental, I know.

I applaud and respect Gates for what he stands for now and what his foundation achieves. But he would be the first one to mandate return to office and be against anything that cuts into his bottom line if he was still running a company.
