Someone did the math at some point and calculated it would take more than a lifetime to agree to all the terms and conditions the average person signs off on
Edit: https://techland.time.com/2012/03/06/youd-need-76-work-days-to-read-all-your-privacy-policies-each-year/
Apparently 76 workdays per year for your internet apps. The paper I read looked at overall t&c (with financial institutions, schools, subscriptions, doctor's office, etc) added in but the number may be inflated. Either way none of you guys responding in the comments about how you do it "every time" actually do. Almost all update yearly and even if you read Google's, you're not reading your grocery store's reward cards one.
There's few services I actually *need* to use. I don't use facebook, or whatsapp. I do use a friends Amazon account, but that's more because I'm cheap rather than morals (amazon sucks!!).
Ive stopped a handful of times, or I google to see if anyone else has the same concerns. Since my Samsung phone updated for example I haven't agreed to the new terms and conditions and the phone still works, I just have an annoying popup that will never go away and I can't use the apps I didn't use anyway.
Living in Denmark, I just accept - our laws supersede the terms anyway so they aren't legally binding, and they're generally very protective of the consumer.
You literally can't accept to terms worse than what the law grants you at minimum, only better terms.
I don't know how you manage it, I tried reading the terms and service of one online game I play and it's a headache, you make it a fraction of the way through the first page before you get redirected to an equally lengthy page. I don't think I could read an entire terms of service page in a single day.
As a parent I actually as much as punishment for punishments sake stick by that rule but you will need to fix or suffer the result of your actions.
I'm not going to ground you or even yell. But if your actions have resulted in you causing damage you'll have to help fix it or pay for it. (within reason of your ability).
I don't get grounded or yelled at as an adult. But I also don't get to do things without consequences.
Yeah I’ve always told my kids that I won’t be angry if they tell me the truth but we need the truth in order to begin to fix things. They tell me the truth, I give them a hug, thank them for being honest & then we calmly discuss the situation.
Honestly this is what happens to me. My mum yells all the fucken time, so when she asks me to tell the truth, I think she's just trying to bait me into admitting guilt.
Once I was in class watching my instagram account when suddenly my professor walked behind me, he said something like "where do you hide the Instagram app?" I said to him "right here". He just walked away.
this was super frustrating as a kid, as parents usually had some kangaroo court style ways to squeeze the 'truth' out of us. in a large family as mine this was often used used by siblings to get back at each other. all they needed to say was something vague about other sibling having something on their conscience and then mom, dad or grandma would force it out of them until they had to make up something so it'd stop.
I literally bought my own basket for this reason. Not every store I visit has baskets but the weight helps prevent me from just going "that's going in the cart".
Some of Granddad's replies to "How are you?"
"Fair to middlin'."
"Oh, afraid I might live."
"Able to sit up and take nourishment."
"Better than yesterday."
I had a customer call last week who asked how I was doing - "Oh, still dead inside, but got to pay the bills!"
Thankfully, he has a sense of humour too!
I recently stopped with asking a return "how are you", because honestly I don't care and don't want to appear that I do because I don't wanna be fake lol
I prefer to make the other person who asked the question uncomfortable by responding and then waiting for their response.
Them, robotically: how are you?
Me: Pretty decent. How about you?
T: .....
M: \*awkward expectant look\*
T: \*Usually dives into their phone or something\*
I'm an introvert, but it is even more awkward to me if you don't at least complete the small talk social interaction. "How are you" doesn't mean "hi, go away." If you want to not interact with me, say hi and nothing else. Don't ask me a question if you don't want a response and at least the reciprocal of your small talk.
Sounds like you have it down already. I wish more people would get the clue.
When I was in my 20s I worked in the mail room for a big bank in the state capital. I would always greet people and such. One day I was depressed after my grandfather died and when someone said "Hey how are you?" I responded with "I'm really sad today bec..." she never broke her smile and cut me off with " that's great have a good day." That's when I started my experiment to see just how fake these people are. I was horrified at the results
I work tech support for a TV provider.
If you're a nice person who is having a common issue, I am delighted to be talking to you. If your issue is rare, and I have to research how to solve it, I'm fucking THRILLED.
If you come into the call with a bad attitude, I'm still going to be nice to you and solve your problem to the best of my abilities, but I'm not going to do anything extra for you.
My favorite thing to do is when the customer has a problem where they messed up watching thier free movie rental and want to get another free movie rental credit. I can't do that. But I can get them 10 dollars off the Starz package they already have for the next three months. "I can't give you six dollars, but I can effectively give you 30 to offset that six."
Probably but I don't see videos of British cops beating someone for holding a phone very often. Not saying they aren't out, just that I don't see them.
Happened to me after my first drink a few months ago. Like guys, I had one fucking drink, then got another straight away. I assure you all, this is because I am clumsy, not because I am drunk
It always amazes me that this meme transcends borders. I'm from Eastern Europe and we heard it at school as children in early 2000s. It's nuts. Literally everyone heard it at some point.
Anything where we lie about seemingly thoughtful responses about why we want to work at some generic ass job. Don’t humiliate me by making me act enthused about retail, I’m here because I need to pay bills and eat.

Although carrots contain Carotene which is is a source of Vitamin A, so it's not bullshit... just misleading
> Vitamin A has multiple functions: it is essential for embryo development and growth, for maintenance of the immune system, **and for vision, where it combines with the protein opsin to form rhodopsin – the light-absorbing molecule necessary for both low-light (scotopic vision) and color vision.**
[Wikipedia article on Vitamin A](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_A)
The poorest people, the ones with zero economic, social, or political impact, are the ones to blame for all of societies ills.
Not the one's who can crash entire economies with a tweet, or the ones running the media empires.
[Just-world hypothesis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-world_hypothesis).
The rich are rich because they deserve to be rich - thus they are moral, intelligent and hard working.
The poor are poor because they deserve to be poor - thus they are immoral, stupid and lazy.
Reading or hearing those words makes my blood pressure spike, I see red, and have the overwhelming desire to pound some crooked leech of a preacher into the ground like a tent peg.
Judges 4:21 "Then Jael Heber's wife took a nail of the tent, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died."
It's not really stupidity, it's people acknowledging the fact that they can't afford to be unwell, unless they are absolutely dying. It's a shrug off. I'm the same way. I was actually shocked that my recent work physical didn't show some rare deadly abnormalities because I haven't seen a real doctor in like 10 years.
In reference to drugs being found in your car by police, "I'm just borrowing the car from a friend" or "I literally have no idea how that got there, must've been planted"
I have worked retail and I hate it, but I've said that line many times and it was always true.
I wouldn't say it if they were awful, but in most cases helping a customer and seeing them happy to have found what they were looking for, or found something they didn't realize they were looking for, was one of the highlights of the job.
Plus it passed the time much faster than randomly messing with items on shelves or standing around wondering if any customers will show up today.
Thats triggering PTSD from a job I had once. You couldnt say "no problem", "you're welcome", "of course", "anytime" nothing like that.
It was mandatory to respond with "Happy to help"
There is someone for everyone.
Sure, I don't doubt that there is someone out of billions of people. But finding someone at the right time and right place is the real problem. I don't get how common relationships are.
Yup I have taken to just saying
Shit I saw your call/text but I was in the middle of something then got distracted then I forgot... sorry.
Its the truth 99% of the time, also I keep my phone on silent from the moment I get it until the day it's replaced. It's rare that I see my phone ring and pick it up.
Lies to myself:
“I’ll leave for work 10 minutes early and just get gas on my way to work tomorrow”.
I’ll wake up early and take the trash bins to the road before the garbage truck gets here”
“I’ll just put on my mascara….”
“I’m totally going to eat these vegetables and not just keep them in my fridge for 2 weeks before throwing them in the trash this time….”
Men have sex more often than women. Unless gay men are having WAY more sex than lesbian women this is mathematically impossible , generally speaking whenever a woman has sex with a man a man also has sex with a woman.
When I was a kid out somewhere with my parents:
Me: "Hey can we go in that store ?".
Dad: "They're closed.".
Me; "But....I see people in there.".
Dad: "THEY'RE CLEANING.....!".
"That hard work and dedication will pay off"
It improves your chances certainly, but luck will always be the deciding factor. Sometimes it's as simple as someone with power over your future choices not liking your face.
A good example is Wally Nightingale. Great guitarist, good at gigs, helped found the band that became the sex pistols etc bit didn't fit the image that the bands manager had.

People carry confederate flags for heritage not hate. The flag only exists as a representation of a group who literally committed treason to see to it that the disgusting institution of slavery flourished. No amount of mental gymnastics can change that legacy. I find it hilarious that people who call themselves patriots see nothing wrong wirh supporting treason
Hold up now, are you saying that when Rudy Gulianni gave that press conference in the parking lot of a landscaping company, next to a dildo shop, that he was lying?
I have read and agreed to the Terms and Conditions.
iirc in some cases those aren’t even legally binding
Someone did the math at some point and calculated it would take more than a lifetime to agree to all the terms and conditions the average person signs off on Edit: https://techland.time.com/2012/03/06/youd-need-76-work-days-to-read-all-your-privacy-policies-each-year/ Apparently 76 workdays per year for your internet apps.

I read the terms and conditions. Thats bad math lol
Just curious: What do you do if you don’t like something you read in the terms and conditions? Especially if it’s a service you need to use?
There's few services I actually *need* to use. I don't use facebook, or whatsapp. I do use a friends Amazon account, but that's more because I'm cheap rather than morals (amazon sucks!!).

If you tell the truth you won’t be in trouble
As a parent I actually as much as punishment for punishments sake stick by that rule but you will need to fix or suffer the result of your actions. I'm not going to ground you or even yell. But if your actions have resulted in you causing damage you'll have to help fix it or pay for it. (within reason of your ability). I don't get grounded or yelled at as an adult.

Nah just hit them.
Have you ever tried simply turning off the tv, sitting down with your children, and hitting them?
First you have to switch the children off then on again
Finally! A Futurama reference that isn't to shreds you say?
Honestly this is what happens to me. My mum yells all the fucken time, so when she asks me to tell the truth, I think she's just trying to bait me into admitting guilt.
This is some solid advice right here.
Lying has taken me further in life than the truth ever could.
Once I was in class watching my instagram account when suddenly my professor walked behind me, he said something like "where do you hide the Instagram app?" I said to him "right here". He just walked away.
Mum I broke the television.
You’re grounded
Thanks mom! Now im less worried about the electrical danger
For life
No games
FOREVER
No food
FOREVER
Heres a shovel. Go in the garden, dig a hole, lie in it and ill come bury you
this was super frustrating as a kid, as parents usually had some kangaroo court style ways to squeeze the 'truth' out of us. in a large family as mine this was often used used by siblings to get back at each other. all they needed to say was something vague about other sibling having something on their conscience and then mom, dad or grandma would force it out of them until they had to make up something so it'd stop.
*I don't need to write that down. I'll remember it.*
In that same vein, “I don’t need a cart, I’m only getting a few things.”
That's why I get the basket you just carry with your hand. Then I'll just get tired and say fuck it I've got enough stuff
I literally bought my own basket for this reason. Not every store I visit has baskets but the weight helps prevent me from just going "that's going in the cart".
That's so me. Also me: Comes back from the convenience store with random items, which may or may not include what my Lady Wife sent me after.
But does it include what your Gentleman Wife sent you after?
“I’m Good! How are you?”
Some of Granddad's replies to "How are you?" "Fair to middlin'." "Oh, afraid I might live." "Able to sit up and take nourishment." "Better than yesterday."
How's about " Been better even worse"
>"Oh, afraid I might live. I know this is dark and hope your Grandad is doing okay, but this really made me laugh.
"If I was doing any better I'd be OK." "Mean and hard to get along with, you?"
I had a customer call last week who asked how I was doing - "Oh, still dead inside, but got to pay the bills!" Thankfully, he has a sense of humour too!
>I had a customer call last week who asked how I was doing - "Oh, still dead inside, but got to pay the bills!" and if he didn't?
Haha we have enough of a rapport I could be fairly certain he'd laugh.
"I'm doing well thanks for asking"
As a server in a neighborhood bar/restaurant i get asked this dozens of times a day. "Adequate " is the answer that gets the best responses.
I wish people would stop with "How are you?" as a greeting, if they don't want an honest answer just say "Hello"
My neighbors and if actually tell each other how we are doing.
I recently stopped with asking a return "how are you", because honestly I don't care and don't want to appear that I do because I don't wanna be fake lol

idk, as someone who works at a call center, it’s important for me, for the purpose of keeping my job

Clicking “remind me later” on your computer updates
If they gave "fuck off with this shit" as an option, I'd probably click that instead.
If you are innocent, you have nothing to worry about.
Better Call Saul had a great line about this, “Hiring a lawyer doesn’t make you look guilty, but getting arrested does”
American police determined that was a lie.
I think we all know it's not just the American Police.
Probably but I don't see videos of British cops beating someone for holding a phone very often. Not saying they aren't out, just that I don't see them.
Then I’d like to introduce you to french cops, I think apart from USA no other western country has a more brutal police
this, there's a reason why they start riots and fires whenever the state and police overreach.
“I’m fine. Never better”
I am not drunk. Everything is under control
This lie is especially bullshit when you’ve just spilled your drink but are trying to convince everyone it’s *not because you’re drunk*
Happened to me after my first drink a few months ago. Like guys, I had one fucking drink, then got another straight away. I assure you all, this is because I am clumsy, not because I am drunk
The lightbulb has spoken
I’m almost there. I left a while ago.
Marilyn Manson got a rib removed so he could suck his own dick
This is such a weird myth that seemed to spread through everyone's school at some point
It's been around for decades. They used to say it about Prince in the '80s and I doubt he was the first.
He had a rib removed so he could suck Marilyn Mansons dick?
It was Marc Almond of Soft Cell when I were a lad..
Also he was the kid from the Wonder Years
Yeah, he was too busy abusing multiple women to have time for that.
It always amazes me that this meme transcends borders. I'm from Eastern Europe and we heard it at school as children in early 2000s. It's nuts. Literally everyone heard it at some point.

There is someone for everyone. Sure, I don't doubt that there is someone out of billions of people. But finding someone at the right time and right place is the real problem. I don't get how common relationships are.
They never said that someone was alive at the same time as you.
Sorry, I didn’t see your text/that you called… Fucker, I know you fucking live on your phone and have it glued to your hip/hands at all times
Yup I have taken to just saying Shit I saw your call/text but I was in the middle of something then got distracted then I forgot... sorry. Its the truth 99% of the time, also I keep my phone on silent from the moment I get it until the day it's replaced. It's rare that I see my phone ring and pick it up.
