Bruh, I've got two dogs that won't even get out of the bed in the morning unless they get a treat. They have me trained.

What the don't know is I actually give them vitamins instead so I'm giving them what they would have eventually gotten anyway

is it these?

Spoiler

my dog loves them

Streaming turning into Cable. Everyone and their dog has a streaming service now.

I'm just glad that never happens here at OS.

Disagree with me on that and I will argue all night about it.

It's great to be honest. No need to pay hundreds of dollars each month just to get a couple channels you want and hundreds you could care less about.

I wish DTV would have an a la carte option.

I pay for so many channels because of sports and maybe watch 30 at most (my wife making up a good balance of the weird channels).

The only crap part is their isn't a good setup for sports yet. Otherwise I'm happy with the options. Except it's going to get to a point where it's so individualized you're gonna have to have 5-8 services just to get what you want.

When networks covering football get back from commercial break and take FOREVER to put the scorebug back up. Or even when they take it down for extended periods during replays and shots of the sidelines. Know your audience, and know that attention spans aren't what they were 15-20 years ago.

Don't forget about nitpicking the hell out of that post, too. Gotta spend 2 pages arguing over the use of their/there even though the point is still the same regardless.

Yeah, before you know it you've got Netflix, Hulu, AmazonTV, CBS All Access....and after your cable provider jacks the unbundled internet price way up, you are paying just as much if not more.

Almost worth it though to stick it to the likes of Comcast, Charter etc...

Clearly 'they're' is the right one.

It's funny to think just how reliant we are to things like that. Having it on the screen 90% of the game for so many years now, and then if it's not there, it's suddenly so much diff/harder watching a game not knowing what the situation is at the moment. Is it 3 balls and 2 strikes? Is it 2nd and 5? Is there 5 mins left on the clock?

My credit card expired and new one came in the mail so I had to call the number to activate it. Sounds simple right? It was....until the end of the activation process requires me to talk to someone on the phone. I get they're just doing their job, but they're basically reading an entire terms of service page to me and wasting 5 minutes of my time.

After all that, it's basically like
"Do you want to sign up for this protection plan?"
"No"
"O....But you could get _____. Is there any reason why you don't want it?"
"Nope"

lol. I literally just called to activate my credit card cause I was in the middle of buying something but forgot my old one expired. Didn't think it'd end up spending several minutes just to do that. Sometimes it's easier just dealing with machines....Until the day they create robot salesmen.

Reminds me of going into Gamestop and having them hound me for magazines and reward cards.

In every instance I've had, the activation is done after you enter the info. You don't have to stay on the line and listen to a sales pitch. Different laws in Canada?

Maybe just depends on the bank? Either way, don't gotta deal with this again for 5 or so years so I'll probably forget about this next time I gotta activate new one
