How long has your number been on the no-call list? We have a similar thing in the UK but it takes ages to have an effect. Months to a year.
I deal with the issue by wasting as much of the scam callers time as I can. It seems to be the best way to get my number removed.
I usually say “I’m Mr Smith’s personal assistant, this sounds like something he should discuss with you. Please hold the line.” And then stick them on mute and forget about it.
With the right words and intonation you can get some of them to stay on the line for AGES.
At this rate we’ll be renting individual strawberries to show off at parties.
(This was a real thing with pineapples, once upon a time.)
Och aye tha noo.
This is silly. The top left one is clearly from a cow and one of the others is a sheep.
Sorry, I know I’m not always the clearest. :)
Virtually no one could afford air travel prior to the 1960s, that’s a very large part of my point. It got affordable in the 70s and very affordable in the 80s.
In the UK, at some point during the 80s, it became normal for almost every single working family to get on a plane and go somewhere sunny once a year for two weeks. Every year. Minimum.
They were and still are given a choice. I can fly from London to New York on British Airways first class or Easyjet. Consumers consistently choose the cheapest headline price.
Like you’re some Greta Thumberg trying to make a valid point.
Concorde wasn’t far off that sort of speed. But it was too expensive. Such speeds will probably return in some form one day.
Planes are three times faster, five times longer range and 95% cheaper per mile, in real terms, than those early days.
The consumer was given the choice and they chose this. Honestly, air travel is great.
Yes, capitalism sucks. I hate being nickle and dimed for hand luggage, lottery tickets, snacks, hidden booking fees and all that shit. Some gentle regulations would be really nice, just to curb the excess.
We definitely don’t need vigilantes.
Ew, Joe Rogan.
