  It’s worth trying, even if you think you’ll end up cancelling anyhow. The last time I had to deal with them, they dropped my monthly bill from $250 to $80 for their highest speed broadband, and now I get roughly 1gb download speed for $80/mo.

  Your results will probably vary – I have 25 years of uninterrupted customer loyalty to leverage.

  There’s kind of a cheat code.

  First, always call, don’t bother with chat. The first prompt you get, say ‘agent’. Don’t say anything else, and keep saying that until you get a live person (it should only take 1-3 times in the menu.

  Once you have a person, threaten to cancel your service. You have to mean it (I always mean it if I’ve got to this point). They will escalate you to the customer retention team and they will listen.

  Neat. I cancelled Hulu a few months ago, and this doesn’t make me regret my decision. I like some Disney content, but they’re corporate vultures and, based on their practices, they don’t deserve any loyalty.

  And Comcast, of course, can fuck themselves to death. I wish this wasn’t an amicable takeover and Comcast would lose badly, but that’s just my murderous mouse fanfic.

  Shit serves a purpose. You need it to live. It’s so important, after you’ve had an operation they make sure you can do it before they let you go home.

  Ted Cruz serves no such purpose. He’s literally less useful than shit.

  Grandpa Munster looks happy and has open, welcoming eyes. Meanwhile the actual social vampire looks like Munster after a week-long coke bender.

  Nothing about him looks happy or welcoming. He looks like the guy who assures me he’s the carpool for Sunday school so it’s totally cool he’ll pick up my kids but lol no. I’ll take half a day off instead.

  That 99% lived in Canada and went to a different school. They were supermodels. You didn’t know them.

  Flat earth. Crystals. Cupping.

  Anything to avoid the reality that we’re fucking up society and the planet in favour of ‘we can fix it with woo’ or ‘it’s preordained that we’re all gonna die in god’s wrath-fire’. Neither will lift a finger to fix things.

  Nobody wants to live in reality because it’s scary.
