I just tried to say something sarcastic but, yeah; In truth, I do agree with your assessment of Amazon OneHealth. As it’s a hybrid of a low end concierge medicine program with a tiny amount of insurance-like benefits.
Started? Oh sweet summers child, Sony has been making more in the life insurance raquet than anything else Sony makes for decades... and they are one of the few megacorps I still buy from.
I was never aware of that fact, as I never expected that Sony would be in on that kind of scheme! There’s too much going on and I simply can’t take it all in. However, this doesn’t surprise me as megacorps will do whatever it takes to make as much money as possible! Since buying power makes right (up until they get a firm slap on the wrist). 🥴
Sony… and they are one of the few megacorps I still buy from.
Dear God, why? Between the continuous pushing of proprietary formats and the fucking rootkit they inflicted on people via music CDs almost two decades ago, they were one of the first megacorps I started boycotting!
I’ve told this story before it’s funny so I’ll repeat it… It was the early 2000s and I heard a song on the radio where a man made a bunch of funny sounds with his voice and the only lyrics I remembered were “I’m the scat man”. I was interested to see what else he made…
I went on to kazza and search “scat man”, found a video I assumed was a music video and downloaded… Several hours later (56k modem)…
I looked into using this type of service to pay for a modest purchase. A luxury of sorts. Something I had the cash for, but felt weird about paying all $600 or so for. I thought, maybe an interest free loan would be cool?
So i start to pay for the thing with klarna or whatever. And I see it’s only a six week loan. Wait, my credit card is a free six week loan (give or take). Wtf. I’d have to pay the thing off faster than just using a credit card.
I’ve used similar services to this in the past; not because I couldn’t afford something up front - but because I wanted to amortise the purchase across a pretty short (8 week) period.
Why not just use a credit card? I did. As a semi-regular user of the service, it was set up in such a way that it would bill the first 25% of my purchase after 2 weeks, and again every 2 weeks after that.
So not only was I getting an additional interest-free time stacking the 2 week period with my CC’s billing cycle; but I was earning loyalty/rewards points with both programs simultaneously.
Facebook is a community where people use their authentic identities. It’s against the Facebook Community Standards to maintain more than one personal account.
So yes, you CAN, but it’s against their community standards.
You risk them deleting your additional accounts, if they find out that you have made multiple accounts, even with different emails. Seem from a business perspective, it would be way too risky to create an account like that to run your business account, because you risk it being banned. and we all know how well Facebook support works, in order to resolve conflicts like these
It doesn’t change the fact that you are breaking their rules. You can also go 200 miles an hour on the interstate if you want and boast that you can do it based on personal experience. You won’t come back to tell people of the consequences though
In general nobody can do 200 miles an hour on the interstate, even if you wanted to. Even the cars that can do 200 are rev locked to keep them below 150. Maybe 2% of the cars that can do 200 can actually reach that speed.
Everyone’s gangsta with their extra accounts until the ban hits and an important revenue generating business page (and all other accounts related to it too) are gone for good.
I’m not familiar with Facebook, but if you can’t create a business account without a personal account, how would you create one without having multiple accounts?
Business accounts are actually called pages. They are created inside their platform by personal accounts. A user can create multiple pages about anything really
The question was “without a personal account”, not “without using my existing personal account”. So it’s correct, you first must create a personal account, but misleading in that it implies one person can have multiple personal accounts.
The holy mod allows you to summon the pope and numerous mods add a way to convert rotten flesh into leather, which is dropped by a mob really similar to the playet(i couldnt find a better mod for that)
The heyday of the Eve Online subreddit was great for this shit, and it was always good for a laugh when something that made complete sense in-game hit r/all and started freaking people out. Some bangers were:
How do I sell a hanger full of corpses?
I just killed someone for the first time! I’m so excited!
Does anyone know if drug production is a good source of income?
You can do the same thing a few different ways on I-40. For real along a stretch in New Mexico and Texas, there’s very little between Santa Rosa and Amarillo. You can also do it here on the east coast, if you do about 40 laps of Raleigh, 25 if one of those hours is between 5 and 6 pm.
That is straight up not what bed rotting is. Bed rotting is when you’re so depressed you can’t bring yourself to get out of bed at all. Like, it’s a mental health condition, not lazyness.
If bamboo worked in Animal Crossing the way it does IRL, I’d make sure to never plant any because it would replace weeds faster than weeds appear. You walk out of your house the next day and it’d just be a wall of bamboo. Timmy and Tommy would die of starvation as I am unable to make it to the town center and pay off my debts to them or deliver any fruit.
It really depends on the species of bamboo, and where you plant it. Some bamboo species grow with rhizomes, so once it’s established, good luck getting rid of it. IIRC it’s golden bamboo that is a problem in the south. But it doesn’t grow nearly as fast as people think; it’s not kudzu. And it really needs full sun, so it doesn’t get established unless it’s away from large trees.
There are a few spots on my commute that have been taken over by bamboo. They’re pretty isolated from each other. If I was going to guess, I’d say that both were planted intentionally to control erosion.
