Its not complete yet

I've been wanting to see the new Spiderman movie, but am a father of a newborn so it's difficult to get out to see it. I was looking forward to it coming out on rental. Today I found out it's finally available - if I want to pay $24.99 for a temporary rental... It just astonishes me that if someone making minimum wage wasted to rent this movie for a night, they'd have to work at least 4 hours to afford a 2.5 hour rental.

Its the same price in most of the places I've checked. Its also the same price regardless of what quality you rent it in. Seems like Sony really is going to milk all they can from this movie.

I had him look up examples of adjectives so that he could refer to them while we practiced. He pointed this out and asked me, “Does this mean you eat Indians?” And I was mortified. I apologized profusely and reported it. What the actual fuck.

So annoyed right now.

I work at the district attorney's office and the bulk of my job is processing and discovering evidence. Meaning that I can't do jury duty for any case in this county because I very likely handled the evidence for it. Even if I didn't directly handle it, I am far too closely related to it and we discuss cases amongst ourselves. They haven't announced what case this is but I know what case this is, and I know too much about it.

Unfortunately there's no way for me to excuse myself or get dismissed early. I should be excused for as long as I work here but no. I just have to sit here and wait for my name to be called so they can tell me to come back on Monday and fill out papers so that they can kick me out.

The longer I'm here, the longer the evidence I'm supposed to be processing isn't getting processed causing delays to other court cases.

It's so ridiculous. I've been summoned 4 times this year already. I've tried to get out of it before but can't 😭

Was enjoying lunch until they starting weed wacking, leaf blowing and mowing. All at once. Mind u the check in was 4pm, check out is 10am. Can’t do it in that time frame? We’re only here for one full day. Listed as “quiet” “relaxing” 🙃

I don’t think I’ve gotten a written out response from him and for the text he brought a 4 wheeler home without permission and had to return it

I get these ALL the time. I’ve never donated to these “people.” Never supported them. Never voted for them. Nor has my wife. I received four of these today. All threats. Always a telling me it’s my last chance. These are some of the less malicious-sounding ones.

I’m not even sure they’re legitimately from those parties, though I wouldn’t put it past them.

So… report as spam. Report as spam. Report as spam.

It isn’t like it’s painful. Just pretty irritating.

My freinds school is now requiring these items, and is also using AI to promote this 🫠

Nothing good either

edit: frequent comments

Don't buy a budget phone/ this is what you get for buying a cheap android: this is a Samsung S25, not exactly a budget phone.

This is why I buy iPhone/ and people still slander iPhone/wouldn't happen to my Google pixel: I actually don't think I can happen to apple because they don't allow apps to download other apps BUT it's still not fully Samsungs fault for ​​Verizon installing apps, though they do allow it, unlike Apple

this is malware/virus/hacked: this is bloatware

you can go and disable ___ and it won't happen again: someone sent a tutorial link and I followed it, but it did say I might have to redo it every time I update so🤷‍♂️

you can buy phones directly from the manufacturer and this won't happen: wasn't aware. I'll consider it, though I just got this phone today so it will be awhile

____ app is good tho: maybe but I'm still deleting it

Verizon needs to be sued/ this should be illegal: I probably agreed to this in a contract I didn't read

your kid installed them: don't have children or any other people on my phone

Paid over $2500 for a Samsung OLED TV and it has ads on the home screen that I literally cannot turn off. Not subtle little banners tucked away somewhere, I'm talking full blown ads for canned beans and financial products just sitting there every single time I turn the thing on.

Samsung don't offer any kind of opt out. The only way I could get rid of them was to go into my router settings and manually block Samsung's ad servers at the DNS level.

I own this TV outright. Paid for it in full. And Samsung are still making money off me every time I switch it on, with absolutely no way to stop it unless you're willing to get your hands dirty with network configuration.

This is not a smart TV feature. This is a $2500 billboard that also happens to play Netflix.

Already posted this elsewhere, so just want to clear a few points up with this post…

1. I was never prompted to accept or decline this specific update. I did not receive any update prompts as I drove into the office this afternoon, nor did I receive any as I was driving home. I pulled into the gas station, turned off the ignition, pumped my gas, and then was greeted by the exact screen shown in my post.
2. Apparently, if it’s just an infotainment system update, you can technically still drive the car (?). I was given no indication as to what systems my car was updating, so I didn’t want to risk messing up anything with the update. I work in IT, so I have a few different traumatic experiences with updates under my belt lol. Didn’t feel like adding an additional one as I just wanted to get home after a long day at work

EDIT: Some of y’all are so damn mean and for WHAT? I’m just a 20 somethin’ year old girl trying to drive to work and back home pls leave me alone lol. I do not give a flying fuck about cars, stop trying to shame me for not driving & maintaining a 1985 Ford Mustang or some shit smh

EDIT 2: Oh my god y’all, some of us out here have anxiety. Y’all are acting like I ran over a baby in a gas station, when all I did was wait less than an hour for the stupid car to update. I promise you all it’s not that deep. Take a deep breath. It’s okay, I promise I did eventually drive the car back home lol

Edit: Street isn’t a busy street and was wide open with spots

I've had Prime for years and mostly used Prime Music for podcasts because it was included. Just got an email saying they're adding ads and removing downloads unless I upgrade to Music Unlimited.

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but paying for a subscription and then being told I need another subscription to keep the features I already had is getting a little ridiculous.

It's just a little bit infuriating since they were newly bought.

Why is it so abstract
