Honestly, the only reason I remembered Prime Day last week was because an order I'd placed for something was scheduled to arrive then. (The only reason I ordered the thing from Amazon was because it was the only place to get it. I much prefer ordering from Best Buy and using their store pickup.)

Like I said, the illustration does break down.

I think OP is saying that, while you can buy a book to read it, you do not own the copyright to that book. They're saying it's basically the same idea with GOG.

The illustration does break down, but I think their point still stands.

Good thing I don't use Tabs.

Most stores around me thankfully don't even use the weight station. I don't even think Walmart does anymore since they "upgraded" their checkouts recently. (The self checkouts have completely taken over and have a sort of open floor concept going on.)

That's an option at some stores in the US. I believe Walmart has that option for Walmart+ members, and I know Sam's Club has the option available in their app for all members.

Insurance wasn't involved when it came time to pay for the surgery. By then, they'd already denied the claim and the appeal, so they were paying completely out of pocket for the surgery.

Had surgery to correct an underbite a few years ago after prepping for it with braces for years. For context, I was still young enough to be on my parents' insurance. The surgery involved moving my upper jaw forward and my lower jaw back because the underbite was so severe. The insurance denied the claim. My parents (I love them so much for this) decided beforehand that, if the claim and the appeal were denied, they would instead "gift" me the money out of their own retirement savings and have me pay for it. The procedure alone cost, I believe, $16k out of pocket. (I don't remember the specific reason why they gifted me the money instead of paying for it outright.)

Game still requires either full or limited data collection in order to play. It apparently asks you for permission after the intro cutscene.

Sadly, based on reviews for the game on GOG, while the game is technically DRM-free (in that it doesn't Emily any of the traditional DRM like Denuvo), it still requests either full or limited data collection.

I'm in the USA, and I don't know what it is, either.
