Lol yeah that's definitely weird, but that's why I talked about the aspect of owning an iPhone.
That's what Apple does. I'm not saying you're an « Apple head » or anything like that, but you know ... Owning something and using it is already reflecting an image and Apple takes advantage of that. It is pretty silly that some would directly talk about the phone instead of the photos tho lol.
I'd say cars are pretty much the same too. People will just look at the thing and think about the « social image » it reflects. Doesn't matter if the car actually runs the same as some other cheaper one, what matter is the brand. It's stupid but it is what it is and some people just can't go against their primal instinct of expressing whatever they feel at the sight of whatever makes them feel some way.
I don't bother with calling technicians because I know more than most of them. Last time my washing machine broke down the drum was making creaking noises and turning in weird directions. It turned out the hall sensor for the magnetic drive was faulty. It cost me £11 from ebay for a new sensor then everything worked fine again.
I'm the same. I have a clothes dryer under warranty that started making noises. Technician came and looked at it, and said my warranty did not cover expense for a new motor, and it would be $120 for new motor. So I sent him away, and I took off back cover myself, and found out the belt was worn and had piece that was slapping metal making the noise. I bought new belt for $10 online, and it works fine now, no noise. Not sure if they just wanted my money, or the guy was an idiot.
Why the fuck do I have to click accept cookies in every single fucking site, or disable my adblocker in order to read some stupid short information?
Why if it wasn't a problem before, it is now?
Why do I have to fucking subscribe to your bullshit newsletter or donate money for your bullshit page?
God-damn!

You should have taken a photo of the belt and then phoned the company that is was under warranty from, told them what the tech had said and then asked them to refund you for the price of the belt and your time for fixing it. You should also have reported them to trading standards.

They called me about re-newing my warranty, I refused and I told the lady over the phone about the situation, but she didn't really seem to care, was only worried about signing me up for more money. But yeah I should of reported them to Better Business Bureau or something. Oh well. (Westinghouse brand btw)

I've only ever owned two washing machines. The first, a Kenmore (Sears brand) I bought in early 1998. It lasted 25 years. After ~20, it started having problems that I repaired myself, but I finally said goodbye to it last year. Then I bought a Speed Queen TC5. They say you get what you pay for ... hope they're right.
Top loaders like the one you bought are the best as there's far less stress on the bearings. Also the weight of the water and clothes are more evenly distrubted so less chance of "wobble" during the spin cycle. If it wasn't for the fact that I have a posh kitchen and my washer and drier are stacked front loaders inside their own double kitchen unit I would have bought a top loader for my new one when I get around to replacing it. Mine is about 10 years old now, it's got a heat pump and direct drive so no belts or anything. The shock absorbers and bearing are about the only mechanical things that wear, and the heating element seems ok so everything seems ok for now. I put a dishwasher tablet in every now and again to stop any limescale from forming.
How funny ! A few days after saying this, here's a famous prepatched romhack website deleting all its content and asking to "join its discord"...
I still gave it a chance nonetheless but discord is just a messy nightmare. I really don't get it.

I'm surprised Nocto hasn't said jokes here, as not getting the joke is the very definition of "pulling a Nocto"

I don't get how some people on here are super sensitive as to what others say. Either agree with their opinion or move on with your day than losing your shit.
I'm super sensitive, but at the same time, I don't say anything about what others say. I just don't care enough to make a comment about it. Say the meanest thing you can think of...
I'll continue without even saying anything in response. I just don't care...

Exactly. I don't care what others say about me either; I just ignore them and move on with my day, rather than adding fuel to the fire.
Specifically I do not care because I'm generally a nice person online. I have no reason to get angry because its a waste of time talking angrily with anyone online because you're not going to prevent them from doing it again. You'll just become the next target again.
Fighting it seems like a waste of time and effort. So I just dont. I read the comment, get a smile at how angry they are, and move along talking with others who aren't that way.
Why women needs a lot of shit to be fulfilled for some hours, then complain they need more shit.
Men, on the other hand is happy with food, tv, bed and games.

Oh, I can answer that! The EU is overreaching and ruining the internet for everyone.
I don't get why people are still ok with the EU or other large governments. The larger the government, the more it interferes with your personal life

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
