Betteridge's Law: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."
In this case, however, YES, a T-Mobile-Sprint merger WOULD hurt consumers. Have no doubt about this, customers rank dead last in things that T-Mobile or Sprint give a shit about.
3. If no one answers, the delivery person can use a one-time passcode that's been pre-authorized by the customer to open the home's smart lock. 4. The customer receives a smartphone notification when the delivery is occurring, and can choose to watch it all play out in real-time on home security cameras through a dedicated app. 5. Delivery person leaves packages in the foyer, then brings the groceries to the kitchen, unloads them into the fridge, and leaves.
Oh HELL no. Not a fucking chance, no no no.
If YOU want to let strangers into your home and let them scope it out, be my guest, but fuck all if I'm going to be up for that.
I give it 6 months TOPS before there's a rape, a robbery, pilferage, or it's found out that Joe Deliveryguy was casing homes in his neighborhood.
And think about the once-mighty herds of nauga that had to die to make those chairs.
Now I hear they're hunting the magnificent Pleather beasts into near extinction. Pretty soon the Formica mines will close down too, and that's when we'll know the end is near.
The company I'm currently working at has a core principal that says, in as many words, that if you're seeing people working long hours or working on weekends, then your company is fundamentally broken.
And they're serious abut it. Stuff gets done, but no one works long hours or puts in time on a weekend. If there's an emergency, then sure, people will work the issue until it's fixed, but that almost never happens.
Apparently Amazon thinks my recent purchase of a circular saw is just the opening move in my newfound hobby of collecting circular saws.
Every fucking site I visit now has ads for circular saws. I mean, hello? I already bought a circular saw, I won't be buying another one for 10 years, if ever.
But noooooooooo, I bought one so that MUST mean I want to buy 20 more. It's the stupidest fucking thing...
If more advertisers realized just how much of their money was being wasted (like 99.999999%), the ad industry would disappear overnight.
Sometimes I go and browse baby clothes and cribs just to fuck with their metrics. Then I browse for expensive ovens and book binding supplies and wheelchairs and pallet jacks and solar panels...they have no fucking clue. "Oh look, an expectant disabled chef who crafts her own books and who needs to move heavy piles of shit like solar panels! What can we sell her?"

Stop being such a pathetic, sheep-like follower. Stop responding to every fucking picture of some idiot's bagel or their tweet about some other meaningless bullshit that has NO effect on your life.
Just turn off your phone. Or if that's too traumatic for you, log out of your social media accounts. Better yet, delete them. No one gives a shit about what you're doing or where you're doing it or what kind of sandwich you had for lunch. NO ONE CARES.
No, it's just your petty way of indicating that you know your argument won't hold up to any scrutiny or push back, and you're trying to self-justify it by marking me as a "bad" person. Ooooh, that'll teach me! lol
Seeing that you have provided no counter evidence.... while you don't like my statements on an emotional level, they are accurate.
Please explain why receiving an award from Jesse Jackson means anything in this context, or any other context for that matter.
Does getting an award from Jesse Jackson automatically mean that person is a fine upstanding member of the community, or does it confer some some special quality that merits notice? Is it a great honor to get an award from Jesse Jackson?

"The problem is exacerbated by an unforgiving social media environment in which bad movies are immediately punished by online word of mouth."
It's also exacerbated by the ever-worsening environment in the theater...people talking on their phones, yelling at each other, texting, and generally behaving miserably with no regard for the people around them.
Add to that the cost of tickets, the traffic getting to the theater, parking, the cost of the food, etc etc....in the end I'd much rather watch something at home where I can pause it, control the volume, have my own snacks, and so on.
Yes, yes- I know it's "so much better" on the big screen blah blah blah but I don't care, I'll trade that 2% of the experience for the advantages of watching at home.
Somebody on/. once said that they don't trust their cashiers to be honest and ring everything up properly, and that's why they want to inspect your personal property as you leave the store.
It's not *my* responsibility to make sure their employees do their job properly, but with that said, I don't think that's why they want to paw through your stuff. It's just a simple intimidation/anti-shoplifting measure to make people think they'll be searched leaving the store.
If you're okay with them looking through your stuff, great....but not me.

lol, nothing, that's what you can sell me.
Yes, you are . . . Number Six . . .
I am not a number, I am a free man!
Yes, you are correct. But hey, "courage", right?

Well that's just fucking great.
If my argument is so weak, it should be easy to take it apart.
People like you are both ignorant and impervious to facts, so I'm not going to waste my time. Have fun in your bubble.
Facecrook... How clever... Do you also say Shillary?
No, I say "The candidate who was so bad that even a lying, cheating scumbag like Donald Trump could beat her".
You said "Facecrook" oh how clever.. Do you use "M$" too? well done.
....says the schmuck with a Facebook tag to the right of his name! LOL, too funny!
Do you work for them or do you just suck Zuckerberg's cock for free?
I've got to say that if I had a Facecrook account, I'd be annoyed but since I don't, I find the whole thing amusing!
It's simple: TURN OFF YOUR FUCKING PHONE.
Stop being such a pathetic, sheep-like follower. Stop responding to every fucking picture of some idiot's bagel or their tweet about some other meaningless bullshit that has NO effect on your life.

Awww, you made me your foe....does that mean no blowjob from you tonight? Or is there some other lucky recipient?
Let's hope it's not someone who dared to challenge your adorably naive Trump-worshiping belief system! lol

Going for the ad homonym clearly

Feel free to live in your FOX News bubble where all your preconceived notions are pandered to. It must be nice not to have to think for one's self.
He just doesn't look like Jack Reacher, read the books and I've enjoyed the movies.
The only things Tom Cruise has in common with the Jack Reacher character is that he's bipedal and warm-blooded. Beyond that, nothing.
Because clearly, anyone who disagrees with you and your opinions is a moron.
I never said that, but you may be right. In fact, your post is probably the best proof available at the moment.
If Trump is a racist, why did Jesse Jackson give him an award for a lifetime of helping the African American community???
Oh yeah, if Jesse Jackson gave him an award well then that settles it.

And I think that time has come....
Pirates is the only one with superstar actors in it. Of course the Mummy had Tom Cruise but he's kind of washed up.
And no matter what those fucktards in Hollywood say, Tom Cruise is NOT Jack Reacher. Hands down that was the worst casting decision I've ever seen.
