Makes sense

Is it alleged if there’s an Amber Alert? There has to be pretty specific criteria met for them to issue one of those

Can someone explain to me how I, a 25 year old student living alone, making less than $30k a year, don’t qualify for this?

This is also a stupid “solution.” We can’t just keep handing out $200 everytime people bring up the impact of inflation. Stop the inflation! Companies are just increasing their profit margins while consumers get less and less.

Yeah but how do you know we didn’t send that goose on a mission to shit in your yard? Maybe you should be mad at Canada.

Yeah but the old basic plans restrict video quality to HD. It used to go 720p > 1080p > 4K for quality. Idk if it’s still the same as I haven’t looked at the plans, but I assume you still only get HD unless you pick the highest tier.

If they had plans that offered one screen and 4K resolution, I’d consider going back for sure. But as it stands, paying $24/month for one screen just so I can get the resolution that every other streaming service includes for all plans is ridiculous. Netflix is stuck in the 2010s. I can watch YouTube in 8K in some cases, and that’s free. I don’t understand why Netflix is being so difficult about it.

I cancelled when they announced they were cracking down on password sharing and I haven’t missed it. Every other service, I pay for the amount of screens and I can use that amount simultaneously anywhere. I don’t understand why Netflix insists on being so difficult about it. I’m not spending $24/month just so I can get 4K resolution and not allow anyone else to use the 3 other screens included in that plan.

There’s a lot of people here immediately jumping to the “cell phones bad!” conclusion.

Phones are a part of kids lives nowadays. Banning them in schools isn’t going to help anyone. How are children supposed to learn to use technology safely and effectively if we just take it away from them instead? I don’t want to imply that it is only a teachers job to teach kids about safe technology use, because it isn’t, but kids spend 30+ hours a week at school. It is a large portion of their lives and what they learn in the classroom often ends up reflected in their lives outside of school.

I think everyone who jumps to the conclusion to ban cell phones in schools is missing the point. All it does is encourage kids to use their technology in unsupervised spaces instead. It doesn’t teach them how to use it safely or effectively, and it doesn’t prevent them from participating in cyber bullying. All it does is push issues such as that outside of the school where kids have arguably less resources and support systems to deal with it.
