These ppl sent an email to try to convince me to continue service after I straight up told them to cancel and refund my money, and they seem to only respond back a day later......Keep in mind, I have 7 days to get my refund, and it's already day 3......I think I see where this bullshit is goin....

 

Hypothetically speaking, if they try to dick me around about my money, what are my options?

As someone who finds gingers pretty hot I am highly...HIIIIGHLY offended that MCU MJ isn't translucent!!!

 

I'm not really and I like Zendaya a decent amount from what I've seen of her, but I do find the replacement of gingers in media pretty annoying if I'm honest with you. Call me.over sensitive I guess I just think we can do better. I don't care if the actress or actor dyes their hair or wears a wig because they are playing a character so I'm kind of more interested in the character themselves then the actor. 

 

I also think its lazy and black people deserve better. Again it's cool Michael B is pushing an actual black Superman in Val Zod, but I still think Icon would be better then this. 

I am fully behind making an alternative of a hero than just taking a character and race swapping them.  I'd rather companies pull a Miles Morales than race swap Peter.

...yep, I had to finally give up the comment browsing on the friend-zone videos...it's just so many....and I should've gone to sleep a long time ago...

There was a time where I was more easily irritated by people always going so far out of their way to defend women in every possible scenario on this and anything else...(y'know the routine---men and women both trying to argue with you like "well, obviously this is because YOU fucked up" in response to pretty much anything involving the men/women interaction) it still gets under my skin on occasion, I guess... like these people would blame Jodi Arias' boyfriend for getting stabbed by her in the shower, because in their shit-hole excuse for a brain, it is impossible for a woman to simply be an evil piece of garbage, so they're forever trying to explain away their poor decisions (like consistently picking abusive guys over just about anyone who would treat them with some measure of decency and respect; it's amusing when people like to pretend this doesn't happen) and bad/evil behavior in some way that gives it a pass.

 

browsing Hulu the other day, I was remembered that they have Bleach anime, and it appears to be the whole damn thing... that brought back some good ol' memories of when that show was the hot new thing, and I loved every minute of it...at least early on.  I watched that one where Ichigo had his first fight with Kenpachi.... there was so many cool moments in this series.

Have your bank do a charge back. 

Does that work? 

 

Because I received ANOTHER email from them offering me 40% off instead of refunding me, so it's clear they have no intentions of giving my money back and are simply stalling for time

They're probably doing everything they can to get you to stick with it hoping you'll bite. They may very well refund your money if nothing else they've tried works. What kind of service is this?

Shoe bot service. Got tired of losing raffles so I tried to use it to grab personal pairs to wear, the mfer never hit on anything tho so I went back to raffles and starting winning legitimately. Haven't used the app in months.

With the basic business premise skirting the borderline of sketchy, I don't like your odds of getting them to just do the right thing.

 

Hit up your bank or credit card company and contest the charge, like others have said.  The sooner you do it, the better it will go for you.

Thanks, bout to call my credit union as soon as they open

Just got off the phone with my bank, they say I have to give the app company their due diligence, so I have to wait until those 7 days are up. If they haven't refunded my money by then, I was told to come up to the bank and fill out dispute forms. 

 

Bummer having to wait, since it could take awhile for a refund. But hopefully this should solve the situation

You got to call your bank and tell them you want a charge back. 
There no easy app means to do so, you have to look though your bank records, find the transaction and tell your bank that charge was a mistake or not authorized. 
And the bank charges to the account of people who took your money.

For those who do food deliveries, Grubhub has a clearance on their thermal bags. I have the pizza bag and it's awesome. I can fit two regular orders in one bag most of the time, and like 4 pizza boxes no problem. Free ground shipping. And you can write this off on your Schedule C... line 22, Supplies!

@ReticentlyI know you have a Pixel. Did you sign up for the Android 12 Beta?

No.  I'm interested, but I've had a lot of travelling the last few weeks and didn't really want to risk borking my phone up.

 

Might take a look at it again, but at this point I wonder if I'm just better off waiting for the official release.

I have been running the beta since the first release candidate.

I would certainly say so. Some pretty neat things, but I've had  recover from a pretty nasty bootloop that forced me to load Android using ADB (android debug bridge) on the first build. I've run beta versions of Android every time I am able to use them (even when unlocking a bootloader and loading an OS to a phone was a more technical affair).This may have been one of the worst public betas I've played with. It's stable now however.

Woo woo when did we let porn in the GD thread? Also kind of sad that SRK is still down and probably won't come back.

Rocket penis is allowed.  Now that Ghost Dildo has arrived, the balance is restored to MegaShock.

 

...........I think.

Lol, any guy "staying" with her should just take it as license to cheat on her like crazy, and then bounce the moment something better comes along.

Come on man.  If you cheat on her, then you're wrong.  If she cheats on you..............You're still wrong. 

 

...........And they wonder why guys won't commit to anything more than a hook-up these days.

I actually did this for the 30th. While nostalgia was great, the movie has one of the worst sound mixes I have ever experienced. Everything but the music was in the center channel.

ha, yeah I saw that tweet on the "WomenPostingTheirLs" instagram recently....I can't get enough of that; I check that page on a regular basis at this point.  

 

Random shit--- I've occasionally kept checking on this upcoming Vampire the Masquerade board game that was on Kickstarter...unfortunately it got delayed to Q1 of 2022. 

(

I don't really like or trust the whole kickstarter thing; I was just waiting until the shit was available to order like any other normal, commercially available product....mannnn that's such a long way off from now.  😞   Come to think of it... 2021 is shaping up to be quite a slow year for some reason... it's like some magical force has slowed at least my perception of time itself way down... like the earlier part of this year seems like it was 15 years ago.  It just "feels" like such a long time ago, that someone could've had a baby in January of this same year... and the kid should be close to graduating high school by now.

Prime in Season 1 - (First 30 seconds)

 

 

Prime in the 1986 Movie (Personally my favorite delivery)

 

Prime in the 07 Bay Movie

 

Cullen and Welker impersonating each other 

 

 

Sidenote - While Cullen is basically irreplaceable as Prime, Welker is probably biggest contributor to the franchise (at least for Season 1). He spent most of the the time talking to himself. 

 

Season 1:

  • Peter Cullen
    • Autobots
      • Optimus Prime
      • Ironhide
  • Welker -
    • Decepticons
      • Megatron
      • Mixmaster
      • Soundwave
        • Ravage
        • Rumble
      • Skywarp
    • Autobots
      • Mirage
      • Sludge
      • Trailbreaker

Are you buying the new 4k disc?

Naaa, I have literally bought that movie more times than I can count. Unless I hear that the mix is better (or comes with a useful digital download), I'm good.

I'm not getting it either.

 

I heard the 4k disc is based on the widescreen version which cuts off bits vertically. I'm used to the Fullscreen version.

 

Also, while I have a 4k tv, I only have a 1080p bd player. (10 years goes fast)  I won't go 4k until the player dies. 

 

It's the movie I've bought 4 times in 3 formats.

 

1998. Canadian VHS First time I saw the movie.

 

2000 Rhino DVD

 

2006 Sony 20th anniversary

 

2016 BD Steel book 

 

Besides the sound mix, I would like a new commentary track. Nelson Shin didn't really gel with Flint and Susan.

Maybe one with Flint by himself or with some other surviving G1 voice actors.

Do they realize that she is one of Larry Nassar's victims?

They do, and clearly don't care. There's this one idiot who doubled down on it after I said how ridiculous his comparisons were. Apparently if you hate your job and not feeling mentally well, you should just continue and "tough it out" 

 

And ppl wonder why the suicide rate is so damn high

Even my wife was in the "If she wasn't mentally prepared why did she even go to the Olympics?" camp. I had to explain to her that even Michael Phelps (THE most successful Olympic athlete EVER) was struggling with mental issues and that sometimes having the pressure of a whole nation (and most of the world) to succeed can get to someone. I think I managed to sway her over in that regard.

 

I find it hilarious how some people keep bringing up athletes from the past and how mental issues never got to them.... I wonder how many of them have actually talked to those athletes and asked if they were feeling OK?
