I agree, too many times people feel entitled due to their age. You don't owe anyone anything. Congrats on the souvenir and the story you will be able to tell your friends and family.

Any job that serves a societal need is respectable.

In Finland, speeding tickets are income based. Just as an example.

So agree! I love all my stuffies!

Greed and narcissism... it's sad, but it's human nature. The majority of the people out there are fake as heck, and will do things like posting videos of themselves crying on the internet as PR moves, to help promote and enhance their brands, to help them gain those clicks, likes, follows, and subscribes. Even more sad is that there ARE the odd few out there who honestly have no one and no where else to turn to, and are using the internet to reach out. But those odd genuine few are usually buried and overshadowed by all the loud popular influencers out there, with their TikToks and viral videos and their memes.

Harassment is the right word. What happened to Diana and other famous people with the paparazzi actually haunting them, spying and giving no Fu*ks. But here's a thought: Who the hell buys those rag mag's is an accomplice bc if they stop buying that filth then the paparazzi will (nearly) go away or at least be way less.

Speaking as someone who was out on their ass at 18... basic parenting, including food, clothing, and sleeping indoors.... isn't nothing. Not when you consider what it's like to do without any of those.

Why censor the word murder, not like we all can't figure out what it says, strange BP.

I read a quote before, wouldn't it be safer to fire blanks at someone than fire bullets at someone with a bullet proof vest

Also gambling

Agreed. You have to survive before you save the world.

I've discovered this trend on the Internet and honestly, I absolutely do not understand it

You ruined it with "sure they're cute" because that's the whole point, they're NOT cute, people have just been trained into thinking they are. People need to realise that inbred dogs with serious health problems are the exact opposite of cute.

100% - the cheater is the one at fault - unless the people they cheated with is also someone who you have a relationship with then it's equal blame as they both owe you loyalty. I've never understood the blame being passed to the person they cheat with, and it's usually women who blame the other woman when their guy cheats - I sure there's a patriarchal link to all that that could be deciphered but seriously, they're just a shitty person if they knew he was involved with someone - if they didn't then they're just as much a victim in it all. This idea that men can't help themselves if offered sex has to stop - you don't accidentally have sex - yeah, you may regret it after but you totally know what you're doing while you're doing it.

The colour-coded baskets is such a clever idea.

They should also put that salary on the job posting...

Yes, it really should be free. I have been in therapy on and off for years and it has been free (/paid by taxes). It's due to mental health issues so free healthcare = free mental healthcare. I learned a lot and cope much better. I wish it was available to all who needs it. To hear that people live with anxiety, ptsd, depression etc and can't afford therapy to learn how to cope better is really, REALLY sad.

I don't use those sites anymore. If you want me to subscribe, or permit adverts in my ad blocker, or click a cookie thing every time, I just bounce. Enjoy your bouncerate and zero ad revenue. ALSO. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD stop with the f*****g animated adverts. They drive my poor ADHD ass crazy. I can't stand it.

Data mining.

Someone doesn't understand how social media sites make their money, it seems.

I agree, I see this a lot on news sites. I just want to read an article but have to sign up first? No thanks!

Look up a temporary email site, sign up with that and a random assortment of symbols for a password, and never think about it again.

“Connect using Facebook.”

Bored Panda doesn't accept the ad blocker anymore but we still keep coming back to it

Agreed

Because revenue is generated in part by users. For example, if you go to an outside investor they want to know how many accounts are on the platform. Yes some of the info they want can be retrieved using unique views, but when a site eventually plans to monetize, they need the numbers to get the money

Sadly this happens on this site too

they want your info and probably they figure if you got an account with them that you would go back especially if it's a store to purchase things

What's more, when the log-in requirement pops up before I've ever had a chance to look at the page and know whether I want an account.

A log in is used for tracking your habits, because they want to sell things to you. The login isn't the issue. It's capitalism itself.

Yup just hogging all your data. Every single thing. To make an appointment you need to register.

Does this site make money off of your information you're right And it's not right the stop the info grabbing You greedy bast tards

It is because you are not the customer, you are the product.

It's for data harvesting

exactly why I love bp we can view all the content even if we can't leave comments

So they can fill up your email, and SELL the address.

It is mining info. Plus, their site, their rules. Stop frequenting the site so they lose revenue. The beauty of choice.

I am sick of sites that market themselves as free to everyone, then every time you go there they ask you to “contribute” something to “keep it free for everyone.” Not only is that self contradictory, but my opening your site generates ad income for you.

Because they want you to join for free, or temporarily free, only get extremely limited access, then be forced to PAY for a full membership/subscription so you get the privilege of finding/using the one and only thing you will ever need from their website from that moment until forever. Which took you all of a few seconds once you had access. I resent having to pay for a full year just to use a website for 10 seconds. Greedy m***********s.

Partial agree. If the nature of the site is that you are buying something and so you have to give them a credit card number, well I wouldn't want just anyone to be able to go to that site and see my credit card number or bill things to me. If they're charging for the service, of course I have to log in to prove that I paid. And if they have to do a bunch of work to provide the service, it's fair to charge for it. I don't expect them to work for free. They have to pay for groceries too. ...

How else can they inundate you with annoying useless ads ?

i want the newsletter signup pop-ups to go away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I do, they get fake info anyway.

Also, paywalled services should not put their content on news sites. Nothing worse than seeing an article then being denied the chance to read it because I'm not a subscriber.

Yes this is getting worse, I would just exit out the site when this happens

Bait and switch

I don't have an issue here, i made an alternate mail like sergio_spam@xxx.xx and al yunk goes there. But ONLY if I know it would be that benefits me, I hate suscribing for "free"only to find I have to pay a subscription.

I work only to sustain my life. I do not live to work.

In many cases I would agree but in many I would not. For example If an employee of mine turned out to be a KKK member, or they were videoed ridiculing a disabled person I would fire them without hesitation.
