People can not be expected to pay shy of 800 euros every year for a pair of eye glasses.

Whoever applied the subscription model to this should be shot, indeed.

Why not tho? Never had an issue before

The chill from having a tornado next to you when you're sweating can give you a bad cold.

I don't understand the lingo; what's a pill?

I still don;t know what the pill is. Try to explain in respect to her context.

...health-related products are like consumables and safety equipment: don't be mesmerized by low prices and exercise great caution when ordering them from abroad.

I wouldn't buy pills or anything, but you'll notice discomfort with glasses soon enough without doing permanent damage.

Pills are consumable health-related products, meaning Sazzy is in partial agreement with what I said. Make sense?

I learned today if you want to turn of shuffle option on Spotify mobile app you need to be premium member!

Premium hacks for Spotify still work on $(date +%Y)... I mean, if you're fine with Mick Jagger not being able to pay next month's rent.

Basically this, yes. Swallowing sketchy things might quickly lead to health problems and you might not notice until it's too late and end up in the hospital.
If the glasses aren't made well, you will notice soon enough by e.g. getting headaches or they just not giving a well focussed vision. You'll stop wearing them ages before they can do any sort of permanent damage. (if they can at all?)

I didn't use spotify for years, because of the shuffle and super annoying commercials. Fun fact, back in the day if you used it on a tablet it didn't do that. You could also make the app think it was on a tablet by using some weird hack I don't remember.
But that being said, I now have a family plan together with a couple of friends and the 3 euros a month I spend on it are well worth it.

Yeah, my previous comment was meant to illustrate my point, but I think this is the most likely outcome.

I'm not keen on streaming services, but it's no wonder many others are. 3 EUR a month sounds like excellent value for money: cheaper than the cheapest seedbox with no need to play ratio micromanagement games to begin with.

For me the convincing thing to finally go for it are the customized playlists with new songs that get generated based on what you listen. It's become my main way of discovering new bands instead of manually searching for ages.

There hasn't been a good pirate equivalent of that ever since Grooveshark shut down Although finding new artists can be addicting, so in my case this may be a good thing.

If you use Spotify on TV or desktop you can turn off shuffle, even as free user.

Late last night I had to say my final goodbye to my puppy Max!
I'll miss you forever buddy!
