  • And the bans make no sense!! I got a site-wide seven day ban for the George Orwell 1984 double-plus-good reference. But before that I posted in some gay men’s subreddit I followed in response to a young guy who was saying he got the icks when an old dude friend of the family was being flirty with him at some family function. I said that if he was upset with the old man flirting with him then I was thinking perhaps I shouldn’t have buttfucked my 13 yr old nephew at his bar mitzvah. For that drunken comment I only got a warning that I could be subject to a three day ban from that particular subreddit.


  • I commented on a post about the Trump administration censoring historical information that they considered ‘woke’ on government websites with - “Double Plus Good.” Anyone with a brain in their head knows this is a reference to George Orwell’s seminal anti-totalitarian novel 1984. But I got banned for it. I assumed it was an automatic bot ban just based on a bunch of user downvotes from idiots who thought that I was in support of censorship, so I appealed, which is supposed to be reviewed by a human. But they kept the ban in place.


  • Btw, even though I’ve been happy with my service through US Mobile I began the process to port my three numbers to Mint Mobile today. This is because they’re offering three months of unlimited for $15 per line, per month. US Mobile has a promo for $16 a line for four months BUT two of my lines had already received that promo so their system would not let them reapply the discount. Also, this may seem trite but US Mobile is now partnering with (f)Elon Musk’s Starlink and, even though I’m sure it’s a losing battle, I do not wish to willingly float that turd of a human being a dime of my money. But, anyway, I had to pull the plug on Mint Mobile because they stuck a bullshit ‘recovery’ fee ($23.25) and a few bucks sales tax ($3.93) of $27.18 total onto the last payment screen when I was trying to set up three new lines. So fuck Mint Mobile!!! I cannot abide shifty mother fuckers. I’ll pay their goddamn recovery fee when Ryan Reynolds knocks on my door and offers to blow me.


  • We switched to US Mobile last October and I’ve kind of been a bit shocked at how good and responsive their customer service is to be a MVNO prepaid utilizing Indian call centers.

    Also, US Mobile partners with all three major carriers, so you can pick your network! They have to use different names because of copyrights but here is the translation: AT&T = Dark Star, Verizon = Warp, T-Mobile= Light Speed

    Their unlimited plans all come with hotspot and start at $25 monthly regular price but they always have promos for new customers and you can prepay for a year of service and get unlimited for as little as around $16 a month. They ALSO always seem to have fantastic prices on the current model Google Pixel base phone and Pro XL, if you’re an Android person like me.

    This. I’m a hairdresser and people just do not have the time it takes to create or sit for these elaborate hairstyles any longer. Also, hygiene habits have changed. Most people shower, not bathe, and women would keep these hairstyles for one to two weeks before washing them out and redoing. Most women won’t go one day without washing their hair now.
