We're learning about the brain in science, and I so want to ask my teacher to watch this in class. XD

In the 90's, the government pressured cartoons to be more educational, and eventually killed off Saturday morning cartoons on the lower channels with the "Children's Television Act". They also limited who could advertise during cartoons, since the companies that make sugary cereals were buying a lot of ad time.
 
Sometimes when you've been friends with someone for a long time and then you find out that they don't even bother to reach out to you to ask how you are doing or they don't seem to care about how you're feeling these days its clear that they are not worth your time.
You would want to be around someone who understands and listens to how you're feeling and understand where you are coming from. Not someone who constantly ghosts you or ignores how you're feeling and acting like its not a big deal to them.
 
I found Bea scrolling through YouTube. It’s clearly Bea. 😮 EDIT: I watched it and there are major Animal Crossing references. 🙃

This channel needs to be stopped.

I knew this channel existed for years now, but I didn't know they were still around pushing out 'real' stories.
The comments are full of children thinking these terrible stories are real, as always.

I watched the latest one this morning. Spoiler alert... it's clickbait and filler, as always.

Edit: Just noticed they're a verified channel now, WTF!

Can it please be illegal for an online store to keep your credit card information by default with one time purchases? Xbox does this all the time to me with no option to turn it off so you have to keep manually deleting it. On a similar note, a lot of services should have the option to purchase only a certain amount of months since it's designed to waste money if you forget to cancel. I've wasted so much not using Hulu or Disney+ enough.

Yes please on that second one. I have a subscription to a study-help service (Chegg) that I subscribed to years ago. I haven't been able to find the account or cancel it, so it just charges me $16 every month, even though I'm not even in school anymore. I need to find the account and get rid of it. 🥴

Good old Chegg... Helped me cheat learn through my Accounting class in college. I remember it doing the same thing to me now that I think about it.

Yeah I really hate this seems to be a default in a lot of stores. I always have to make sure I delete my information, some are more annoying than other to do it at.

And yeah basically the reason they have subscription so they keep earning money off innocent people. Sucks and I hate this is even an acceptable and legal model.
 
I should have asked the staff yesterday if they planned on releasing Spring Shamrock collectibles in the shop for St. Patrick's Day. Would have been fitting, and I would have grabbed a couple myself too. Welp, it's too late now.

Can't you just call your credit card company and file a charge back? That is a lot of money. Especially over the course of a year. I'd call your company and see if they can do something for you if this site is being shady and hiding said information. Maybe try calling that site first and if that gets you nowhere call your credit card to escalate it.

Yeah, I could. I still need to see if I can find my account though. I may still be able to access it and cancel the subscription. If not, however, I will definitely take your advice.

I get it. Many years ago, my parents didn't even know they were being charged a yearly subscription for Mcafee or Norton? It must've came with their old laptop at the time and the virus protection just weaseled in a yearly sub without them knowing. So even though they never updated the virus after the year was up they were being charged lol.

I was the one that actually caught it on the credit card bill when they couldn't figure out 'what this charge was'

This is my first time socializing with people where everyone seems to be oblivious as to what my favorite animal is, despite me directly mentioning it or at least implying it several times on the forum. This is so awkward considering my favorite animal is my trademark thing it's like my identity that everyone except people on here seem to know 😂

Shot in the dark guess, but is it a frog (because of your frog team in Pokemon)?
 
^ So cool!!

Anyway, I find it ironic that parents in general tell their kids to not do something, but they do the thing itself. And I get it, they want their kids to turn out for the better, but still. My step-mom scolded me for dropping an F-bomb, but she and my dad swear all the time anyway, and so does everyone else I know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
