  • If there is a mechanism for change then I would want to have the knowledge we are being lied to and work toward the change. I would want to know. Even if I would never see the change but there was the opportunity for my kids or theirs to have it all without resurrection then I would want to know.

    If the idea is only this question and no way to change the outcome I would want to stay in the cave Mr. Plato and be none the wiser.



  • Back in the day they were “selling” dollar coins through tv. It was legal tender so banks had to accept any deposit of it. The U.S. mint offered free shipping in the continental U.S.A.

    Some smart folks started buying them with their credit card that offered air travel miles as a reward. Then they took all the coins and depositing them in their bank and paid off their CC. Rinse and repeat.

    Yes they were out no money and had thousands of dollars worth airline miles.




  • In a bar instead of online like NORMAL PEOPLE.

    All jokes and sarcasm aside, I met my wife in a bar as her and her friend were trying to avoid a guy who seemed to be bothering them. Offered to buy the all a round of drinks and said we are at a table over in the corner if they wanted to join. My future wife and her friend said yeah lets go the guy had a sour look on his face and said no thanks but I will take the beer.

    Had a wonderfully late night talking and laughing with her and fell in love shortly after.


  • I am going to do a bit of transitive properties here. - Talking about family = family plan to me.

    So for both services we are talking 6 devices streaming their own accounts for $20 a month.

    At the point in our argument there is no huge difference between the two to be honest. Same price for the same services for Music. They both provide good audio and playlist function. (lossless audio on normal speakers and car speakers doesn’t do much unless we are talking about $$$ cars/home audio and at that point this conversation isn’t happening)

    The big difference for me is that we have apple mobile devices. (I tried Android some time ago but didn’t like that each company had their own skin and updates depended on how each company felt at the time. The nexus I had was great and was straight from google no extra crap but even that had a 2-3 year span though so no different than Apple for me at the time)

    With Apple one (6 devices for apple music), every family member gets Apple TV+, Apple Music, and Apple arcade. For me this put it over the fence. Kids get more games I don’t have to pay for and we get an extra streaming service I don’t have to pay extra for won it for me.

    Essentially extra value won it for me. Not just the music service.
