I'm a pessimist. The price increase won't hurt them unless they lose more than 33% of the user base. Which is a big number of people choosing to change a habit/lifestyle.

Even if they do lose that amount, they could walk back the 50% and wait a few months and "only" increase it by 20%. People will feel good that they owned the big corpo and the big corpo still manages to increase profit.

Bold choice to show my age by dressing as a rage comic

I really enjoyed Cracked in its internet heyday. It was at times funny and others poignant. Somewhere I would have wanted to publish. Technically it still exists... but it is not the same.

I looked him up. He is already retired from US military. A known democratic, endorsing both Harris and Biden. Nowadays it looks like he's on a couple research and strategic groups and works for NATO directly.

I'm in a minority, but I enjoyed the soft reboot that was season 9. Maube it was because I saw it years later, or maybe I mentally divorced it from the main series, but I think it could have stood given a bit more time.

BC has put a big effort to lower barriers to US and other foreign doctors. Also increase doctor pay. Apparently there has been a decent uptick.

Why is no one else laughing at my childhood story?

Why are you trying to hug me?

There is/was a lawyer in Vancouver that was a Sovcit. She was in the news a few years ago. Truly wild combination.

Damn! If only I had one of those services than I could boycott Disney too.
