Seeing Click with a shirt instead of his usual tie and polo feels new to me.
Casual click is still sexy click.
i believe it's a sweater, but indeed feels new
my exact thoughts 💀💀
HES A CLONE THE REAL CLICK IS IN HIS BASEMENT
@@Datboichannel it's his equally evil twin !
I dunno why, but Click tossing his plushies over his shoulder when he's done showing them off will forever be charmingly hilarious to me.
Even better with the "YEAaaaaaah" sound effect added :)
Mango can be on the floor now
They are floor gang
It kinda is
34:26 I'm reminded of a story, but I can't remember where I heard it from. A man passed away, and his daughter kept getting phone calls about one of his accounts with a company. The daughter tried explaining to the company that her father was deceased, and his account should be closed. But the company insisted that they needed permission from the deceased father to close the account. She kept getting calls, and she was told each time that they can't close the account without speaking to her father. Even though she'd made it very clear he was dead.
So she got fed up, and walked into one of their offices, requesting to close the account. When she was again told they need her father's permission...she reached into her bag, and pulled out and urn and a ouiga board. She made a big dramatic scene, asking her father's spirit to send a sign from the afterlife that he consented to close the account. She kept it up until the manager came over to intervene, because she was drawing attention from other customers. In the end, the manager admitted defeat and agreed to close the account for her.
holy the company is even more dumb than me how is that possible
I thought I was dumb enough
This made me feel better about myself
She could've just sent a copy of a death certificate or his obituary... I deal with this at my job. We can't just take a stranger's word over the phone and close someone's health insurance without verification, bc spiteful people have done this to make life hell for others
@@aoneal3723 depends on the company, some have people that are too attached to the standard response and wont accept the certificate. Also, if you ask for the process to close the account of a deceased person and they tell you they need to talk to the desaced person then thet are not trying to give options (Knew a case with a mobile pphone line where the survivinf spouse just ended cancelling the line on her name and using the deseaced spuse line as the company was not cancelling the line even with a death certificate).
@@aoneal3723
That provides a great cover for bad actors
My respect for click when he tells us that he got his joke from a funny comic and credits the artist😎📈
Same
Also, seconding that recommendation of Sarah's comic - she's hilarious o7
Click is the chaotic neutral we all needed.
Yes

Chaotic Good, Click is kind hearted!
He would be a better government official than them
He’s one click away from being pure evil
"by breaking this seal you agree to the contract inside"
Me: grabs a circular saw and saws around the seal to keep it intact.
That is ✨simply genius✨
Eh, at least in the EU that contract wouldn't do scrap anyway. You can't just refuse responsibility for having contaminated food, and whether a contract inside the packaging is even valid is another question. (At least in my country, it must be made available before you even purchase)
Reminds me of the Ben and Jerry's ice cream lock, but in reverse
That was exactly what I thought
2:39 have a child open it for you, since therefore the child has “signed” this “contract”, therefore making it’s conditions void
you can sue a company, even if it is against their terms and conditions.
This reminds me of how I ate a moon pie earlier today. On the wrapper of the individual pie, it said that it was 53% DV sugar. what I hadn't realized until I finished eating the whole thing is that it was 3 servings per pie. These things aren't even that big. I suddenly realized I had about 159% of the sugar I should in a day in one sitting. Not to mention the other things I had eaten earlier.
Even better is that's based on 2000 calorie/day diet, which not everybody has.
@@wintergray1221 I might even have more, my metabolism is absolutely insane lol
@@The.Radiance The %DV for sugar is to prevent you from getting diabetes. This can happen regardless of your metabolism speed.
@@runed0s86it’s a percentage based of 2,000 calories but if you have 2,600 then the percentage would be less
@@runed0s86also, diabetes relates to carbohydrates not sugar. Sugar free candies can and will increase your blood sugar levels bc of the carbs in them, and how the body converts carbs into sugar
What’s kind of funny to me about ads is that if you over advertise to me, I start hating the brand enough that I will never buy from them. It literally has the opposite effect.
I think about that with nord vpn all the time
Its a normal thing really. Get anoyed enough times by something and you'll hate it
@@cherrydragon3120 yet ad agencies refuse to grasp this concept. Apparently the exposure they get from new and suggestible viewers is enough to offset this??
The crazy thing to me is that they do it with celebrities. When they are too much in the news, whether it's for movies, TV shows, or anything else, their agent makes them take a break because the public will get annoyed. So it completely baffles me that the entertainment industry doesn't think it's the same for ads...
@@Jzombi301 i guess so. I'm so tired seeing these game ads saying the ad is real, i actualy played 1 of those games for a while and its really not. Its false marketing.
click is the dad we didnt know we needed with all his dad jokes, his knowledge, and his ability to roast posts
Click is more like a weird eccentric but cool uncle. Topic is more dad energy.
In my opinion.
Cliccy is more like a (cooler and more intelligent) little cousin to me old bstrd 🙂 But most of his Dad-Jokes are really dead jokes. Only Topic would be so polite to giggle a bit about them.
Agreed, him and OT give dad vibes
@rapheALtoid cause doesn't always precede effect
When the click is better at being your dad then your real dad without even knowing you exist 💀
About the "peculiar" food servings, the nutritional facts related to them, the terms and conditions to avoid suing from poisoned customers and the juice "not juice": as a veterinarian who studied European food safety and regulations, I can tell you that those are all typical FDA (USA) bs. The FDA approach is basically "you company can do whatever you want, if someone sues you then deal with it how you like".
In the EU on the other hand the approach is "you food company are legally responsible for guaranteeing the safety of what you produce, together with the farmers and the supermarkets (and all the rest of the chain involved), until it reaches the table of the customer; if something happens to them, you are in deep shit". This to explain that those things aren´t possible to write on a product in the EU because they would be at least immediately denounced by food inspectors (vets usually) as scams, not to mention that the responsibility for food poisoning by contamination due to production failures is considered a penal crime, meaning you´re going to prison for it, because it´s considered endangerment of public safety. That´s basically the same charge as if you would put a building purposely on fire.
So yeah, the Americans love to complain about there being "too many rules in Europe" but the truth is, that those rules are keeping us safer and healthier.
Bro made a whole essay
Say it louder 👏 this country doesn't give a single shit about its citizens as long as it's profitable for us to be unhealthy, be in debt, and die :)
@@justinbrosious6193 Gen Alpha when they see more than 1 paragraph
Honestly it's kinda freaky how a bunch of foods in America are banned in Europe because US food standards are so low. Then they wonder why obesity is such a huge problem.
27:40 in some US states, Door Dash got into serious legal trouble for doing this, and the law was on the side of the drivers. These states have laws in place that say tips can't be counted against wages, so this means Door Dash has to pay the rate they say they will, and tips are 100% extra. Sadly this is not true for most of the country.
I always keep cash around the house and give them that. The only way to be sure it's going to the actual worker.
While companies can say, "you can't sue us" in their terms & conditions, it's not actually true. You can still sue them
Especially for a non official contract as sketch as a paper lid cover. Customer can easily argue that it just looked like decoration to them, and they never signed anything so it’s not binding anyways
@@riverstein7251 "this does not affect your statutory rights" something you see a lot, because they can put anything they like in a T+C, but if it infringes your statutory rights, it's unenforceable.
That was something my mom would always say whenever our school would make her sign these stupid things being like "yeah if something happens to your kid while they're under our care you can't sue us." She would always say to us "just so we're clear here, I'm signing this because they're forcing me but I will still 100% be suing them."
I figured that much already, but instead of fixing their LEAD POISONING causes, they decided to take a huge gamble and do an illegal thing.
It's a common tactic. They're essentially trying to trick you into not even trying but 90% of the time it's not legally binding.
Back in uni they wanted us to buy overpriced books, but we just pirated them and sent the PDFs to every class member. Dunno what else they expected from CS students.
Brilliant. Wish people had thought to do this during my college years. Got books that I never used and lost out on a few hundred dollars for them.
Wish I could do that, but half my professors assign our homework THROUGH the online textbooks (which still cost just as much) and the homework is worth like 20% of our grades
Jaysus. How out of touch so you have to be, to not realize that the CINS students will be tech savvy.
@@midnight_blue_moon That's even worse, because not only can you not get them used, but you can't sell them back either because they'd be worthless for the next person.
I go to community college and so far all my professors have been pretty chill with a range of "I can't legally give you the textbook for free, but if one of you happened to find it and distribute it to the class, I *technically* can't stop you" to "oopsie poopsie, I accidentally put a link where you can find it free, oh dear silly me" to "here it is, they can't catch us all"
But this semester my bf got a math class that REQUIRES it to pass and it was ridiculously expensive even to rent, so he was falling behind because ✨️poverty✨️ so I managed to Jack Sparrow that shit on Google. Some professors get it, and others are a-holes.
I can confirm that Grubhub and Doordash and similar food delivery places do literally list their base prices higher than the restaurant does on their own online menus. Then on top of that, they charge additional delivery fees and then will force you to include a tip before you actually place the order, so if the food arrives 3 hours late, the tip is still charged to you.
There's restaurants in my area that specifically list that they are NOT partnered with GrubHub and shit.
One such restaurant, I looked them up on a lazy day and GrubHub charged me twice the price of just going into the shop. Said fuck that and went to the restaurant.
Doordash: exploiting customers and drivers since at least 2019!
@@SamuelMaybird Most of the time, I would look up their menu, then just call and pick up the order myself.
I recall a restaurant owner advising my mother that they lost profits using doordash, essentially encouraging them to list higher prices on the service. They recommended just calling orders in. Miss that place.
This makes me sad simply because I work a lot and so I use UberEats in order to get food to me, I try to remedy this by bringing food with me instead but there are still days where I want to order food.. Same goes for a lot of my coworkers who use other food delivery systems since our job keeps us pretty busy, glad to know most of delivery apps are overpricing for their own reasons 🙃
I've long wished I was rich enough to pursue a string of suits against the "by opening this you have agreed" BS, arguing that there is no rational way I could be committed to a contract the very existence of which I could not know until after I supposedly "agreed" to the terms.
I cant explain why but seeing Click wear a comfy sweater instead of a dress shirt makes me feel more cozy
He looks like a Teacher's Assistant to me ,lucky we know the REAL Cliccy 😈
We don’t hate you, cliccy. We understand that you have business to attend to and cursed memes with Reddit content for us. We appreciate your patience and the probable loss of sanity.
Thank you.
And you are definitely not of the worst on ads and stuff
Remember when companies just used good impressions and service to try to sell products instead of trying to engage in literal psychological warfare, self-implemented monopolies, or outright scams? We really are descending into a dystopian hellscape.
But, they literally always have? It being digital doesn't change the practice...
@@theemperor-wh40k18 Not having access to what they do today severely limited how far they could take things, so they tended to rely a lot more on offering good service and quality products. Entering the digital age heavily increased how many scummy tactics they have access to.
A positive brand experience to balance this out: i once got college humors dropout subscription, but then decided to cancel and they offered an extra week for free. At the end of the week i went to cancel again, and they had already automatically unsubscribed me
Pro-tip: A sticker is not a binding contract. All those void warranty warnings are just BS to try and stop you from fixing things yourself (or breaking it yourself instead.)
Well on tech it's less that the sticker is legally binding but the actual warranty itself can have stipulations about opening an item and the sticker is how they can tell you opened it, therefore you voided the warranty by opening it
@@InternetsDadGaming Not in countries like Australia with the ACL. They can stipulate anything they want but it can't overrule something like the ACL. Removing a sticker has no relation to a device not working as reasonably expected so the customer has the right to refund/repair/replacement when it breaks down. Other places like America has it's own laws but I'm pretty sure it's a similar situation, the sticker is just a deterrent as 4 out of 5 people will abide by the sticker rule.
@@Atelierwanwan I didn't consider international law, and that is my bad, but in the good ole US of A we have next to no right to repair protections, merely opening a device CAN violate a warranty if they put the stipulations in there for it.
@@InternetsDadGaming I thought I'd heard otherwise at some point but perhaps I'm wrong, I only know a little. It does remind me of the Warcraft 3 Reforged situation where Blizzard claimed that playing the game voids your right to refund, which is like saying opening the box on your brand new toaster voids warranty before you've even found out if it actually works or not. Australians and I think people in some other countries were able to force refunds if they pushed the point due to our laws on refunds but Americans were just screwed. So, I guess it's totally expected that if some company claims the removal of a sticker voids warranty they could probably get away with it over there. I doubt it would actually hold up in court because you still have laws about reasonable use and such. A lot more expensive than just buying a new one at that point though.
o.o
The "white elephant" gift one is actually pretty funny. For those who don't know, "white elephant" gifts are supposed to be random, silly, or nonsense gifts. They are a holiday party tradition. There's usually a recommended value limit (the lower the better lol) Everyone brings a gift, wrapped but not addressed to anyone in particular, they play some kind of swapping game, and you get what you get. A gift that you cannot open without the gift itself is actually kind of genius.
It's smart, but also I'm just impressed they were able to weld that without burning the box.
The name comes from how the King of Siam would give a white elephant to guests he doesn't like. The guests couldn't refuse the gift, and the elephant was difficult to care for, so it's basically just passive agression in gift form
@@battlesheep2552 I did not know that. That's interesting! It was just explained to me that, "the gift should be unexpected, just like you wouldn't expect an elephant to be white."
White Elephants were holy animals, so you couldn't make them work, but they're also elephants, so caring for one is expensive. And obviously, you can neither deny being given a holy animal, nor get rid of it in any way.
Basically, a White Elephant gift is one that is not merely useless, but actively drains your resources *and* that you cannot refuse. What you were told is rather incorrect.
@@Llortnerof Except a white elephant exchange is literally as described.
7:08 the infuriating part about the cleaning fee is they have a rule book in some of these places that they want you to do most of the cleaning before you leave. And that point just get a more expensive hotel room

That instant ink thing is an absolute nightmare. It's so bad that at my work we tell customers to avoid buying HP printers just to save them from having to deal with it.
HP is such a nightmare. I once bought a(n) HP laptop. It died within 24 hours. Attempts to boot it resulted in a black screen with KERNAL PANIC. I attempted to use the manufacturer's warranty and they told me to mail it in for inspection.
They returned it, declining to repair or replace it, saying it had "water damage". They sent extremely microscopic images of TINY TINY SPECS of.... Something. Like, we're talking specs the size of the point of a pin/needle. The laptop they sent back had a SCRAP sticker on it. The inside of the monitor had LITERAL WATER SPLOTCHES and the internals of the laptop were totally missing.
They literally sent me back a damaged laptop shell and tried to pass it off as the laptop I sent in.
Learned a lot of lessons that day. Take pictures. Of EVERYTHING. Take them of the actual issue. Take detailed pictures of the item before being packaged, after being packaged, and as its being mailed.
But most of all.... DON'T BUY HP PRODUCTS!
Brother is the current good printer brand. However, this may not be true when you read this comment.
Epson used to be good, not anymore
I love that Click's videos are now over half an hour long. Perfect way to end the day.:)

I have literally over 1200 videos in my " to watch later" list, but none are The Click's. Because I've already watched all of them.
I agree.
That door dash (Uber also does this {or did there were news articles about it}) where they basically scale the pay down as low as legally allowed and then add the tips so they're almost never getting all if any of their tips. I literally started keeping small amounts of cash on me to tip them with dollars. That way I can still tip good service but w/o the app knowing so they get all the money. It's a small thing but those services are so helpful to me and the workers deserve to be paid right.

Terms and conditions won't protect a company in court if they poison someone with heavy metals but it might discourage people from filing a claim in the first place witch makes it doubly scummy and just a bold faced lie.

You cannot be contracted to not sue, so... it's just intimidation.
A trick I learned from my mom for dealing with customer service when you are requesting they stop sending you things is to sound like a lawyer. I witnessed this first hand when my family was being sent scammy letters claiming that we owed money. We didn't even have any connections to them. I watched her explain, politely, why the they where doing was predatory, the guy on the on the phone asked if she was a lawyer (she's not), she finished the call buy saying "I'm ordering a cease and desist." We where immediately put on the do not contact list.
In EU, it's pretty easy to unsubscribe as well. If they have a 50-step program you have to complete to unsubscribe, you can just e-mail them and ask them to delete all your information under GDPR, and they either have to comply or they'll get fined to infinity and beyond if they don't.
Also none of the "void if seal is broken" is true here. Weirdly enough, a company's terms and conditions or EULA isn't above law. I laugh every time on Steam or Epic Games it says that, even though by law you can return any online purchase within 14 days, you can no longer do that if you've played a game for more than 2h (which on many modern games is the length of the forced tutorial).
@@masansr In the USA we have the stickers, but they're just fear mongering. They cannot legally enforce the sticker. If they do, sue them. It's actually profitable to sue if you find a company that tries to enforce the sticker warranty.
One thing I’ve noticed about the CZcams add policy is how if you watch the entirety of a skip-able add, it gives you another one. It thinks you’re distracted, or asleep, or maybe just letting it run and it will give you another one or two adds

26:18 reminded me of how my high school did the same thing but it was like a $2 fee for every page you wanted to print and you would rack up a debt on your school account that your parents had to pay. Many of us couldn't afford that and didn't have printers at home, so one of my classmates who came from a rich family would tell us to email our assignments to him so he could print them for us, his parents were more than happy to pay. He was a lifesaver fr
Stuff like this is why piracy is so ubiquitous.
The crap about uni books makes me glad that my professors just make the reading material available to us, without a charge. At least they still want to teach me something at the end of the day.
Literally all the required reading at my uni (UK) are available in the library or as free ebooks
Our one prof was like, “not that I know anything about it but if you go here and type this in you may find a useful pdf” because the university had strict guidelines on it. Another had the TA send us the PDF link😂
Most of my profs that had required readings were really good about photocopying them or sending them to us for free and when I was a graduate TA I photocopied so many things for students so they didn’t have to buy the book. I don’t think I bought a textbook after second or maybe third year and I did 6 years between my degrees.
At least at my university it was the actual school trying to gouge us, not the profs (unless they were doing the bare minimum of their job and I was fortunate to have few of those) so most were more than happy to skirt around the rules.
@@lisahoshowsky4251 ohh we had one that was "idk what this usb here on my table is, but if you look at it you might find some very useful books on it. I'm gonna go on a 15 min toilet break now, goodbye" he was the best😆

It's basically the chocolate version of a nether portal. Removing the corners might make it look fancy, but it's only done to save money
Those “mirrors” remind me of this one thing I heard about. This woman went on “Shark Tank” to pitch this, initially. Everyone passed on it, then she went quiet. It’s a mirror for dressing rooms in shops that sell clothes. It works like a subtle funhouse mirror and makes you appear slimmer than you actually are so when you try on clothes they look better on you in the mirror than they might actually look in real life. So, you’re more likely to buy the things you’re trying on because you feel great about how you look in them. I’ve never seen anything where the creator has explicitly said that she’s been selling any of these mirrors but she hasn’t denied it, either. Because her item is aimed at businesses and not the public at large she could be selling these mirrors like hotcakes and there’s no way to know for sure which businesses are buying them. Know your body and if you do try clothes on at a store be aware that there could be one of these mirrors in there and if something looks noticeably better on you than you suspect it should either pass on it or have a mirror of your own at home, try the clothes on AGAIN and if it doesn’t look as good as it looked at the store, return it. NEVER remove any tags until you’re sure you’re keeping the item(s), save your receipt(s) and NEVER shop at a place that won’t let you return clothes within a certain time frame with a receipt (with the exception of undergarments and swimwear, for everyone’s health and safety). You’re welcome.
That sounds like a nightmare for underweight people and also could potentially create disphoria.
The best part with the salad is if they had divided the total package into 4 servings it would look even better at 140 calories a serving

The door dash thing is the reason I always tipp cash. I don't trust these services to do there job regarding my money.
There used to be CD packages that were sealed with giant stickers, and on top of the stickers it was written "by breaking this seal, you won't be able to return/you are bound by the terms and conditions of service" or some crap like that. After seeing one of my seniors just ripping open the package and keeping the seal intact, I started doing the same.
Wasn’t expecting to see Click in a shirt instead of his usual tie and polo, but, unlike everything else in this video, I actually like his design.
Yes, better this way, ties suck.
I once paid about $250 for a science textbook that wasn't bound (they sold them in a cheap binder.) We never (not even once) used the textbook. I never even opened it. This is a regular occurrence in American universities these days.
Edit: I forgot to mention. I'm was a language major (Spanish). Our textbooks are regularly $200+ amd $300 for our main courses. I eventually dropped out because I couldn't afford it anymore (ran out od financial "aid" (which is actually just a massive loan(s) from the government.)
Hey, another Spanish major here (now doing an education program in grad school). Those textbooks are BEYOND expensive it’s such a grift. Fortunately my professors were pretty chill and always tried to make sure the bookstore had cheaper options for buy/rent, and if they couldn’t they just directed us to where we could find it or printed us the relevant sections. There were only a small handful of us in the language department so we often shared PDFs and books too.
To anyone reading this: never buy new unless it’s the last resort or online is needed, there are almost always more accessible alternatives
most of the time, the books alone will be good enough for the most part. just need a lesson from time to time to help with phonetics.
The best thing you can do it try to convince a group of students to share a textbook because 90% of the time you won't need to buy one.
And ijits online are wondering why students have so damn much debt when they graduate.
I studied English and Linguistics, most teachers and professors put a binder full of documents on a dedicated shelf in the library or somewhere in the department, those were generally papers behind a paywall or chapters from books we wouldn't use otherwise. People would just put the stack of papers through the copy machine. You still had to pay for the copies, but you know, that was a few euros, not hundreds.
We still had to buy expensive books but we actually used those a lot. :) But even then, those were also available in the library and with a copy machine you can have your own chapter in a minute or two. :) They had one of those copy machines dedicated to books so you didn't have to press the spines flat. Made copying super fast. :D
Saving tip: look at the unit price. That way, you can see if they are charging more for less product.
This video gave me the weird motivation to start sending bs ads to companies for no real reasons
About few years ago a friend ordered all the ingredients for their family Christmas dinner online. They made a mistake on one item, instead of ordering a kilo of Brussel sprouts they only ordered one. They received the single Brussel sprout in its own plastic bag with a 0.5p price sticker on it.
Wow...
The good ending
And the family rejoiced because they no longer had to eat brussel sprouts, Merry Christmas.
“And there was much rejoicing!”

imagine if she hears it when you listen to 2 years ago click
Oooooh, yeeees.
So how do you say 'Bow chicka wow wow" in your mom's language?
Bout to make a petition so that Click keeps wearing such clothes more often 🥴 made me feel more cozy than my bed in Monday mornings
changing the serving size is one of the most common tactics to make food appear healthier than it is, even with things like soda bottles
Fun facts, according to us courts it is illegal for companies not to service your unit after the warranty sticker has been damaged and or removed. The warranty sticker holds no water in court.
tip: if a company forces you to pay to unsubscribe, just create a Filter in your email that automatically deletes all emails from that company.
If it's a credit card subscription, you can call your bank and ask them to Block all transactions to that company.
Re: textbooks. A lot of the doctors and professors who wrote those books are advising their students to pirate their textbooks these days. So the origin of the content says "just pirate it", the end user says "just pirate it", the publisher in the middle "PAY ME MONEY $$$!".

Don't know.
I am a digital/traditional artist, and I use Clip Studio Paint for my digital drawings. Clip Studio Paint was one of the best drawing programs due to being a one-time purchase, as well of being an incredible drawing program. After around a decade, CSP will upgrade from version 1.0 to version 2.0. To upgrade from version 1.0 to 2.0 you need to purchase another "perpetual license", and version 1.0 won't be updated anymore (it will get bug fixes). However the shittiest thing is that to update version 2.0 (after you have bought the new perpetual license) you need to purchase a monthly "update pass". CSP is becoming the same as Photoshop and it's really sad.
I've done some research about this (fellow CSP user) and 2.0 will also get bug fixes, the subscription is for early access to the new features. The new features will come default with 3.0, so I would assume it won't take quite so long to get from 2.0 to 3.0. Admittedly I'm also disappointed, but unless you're looking to get all the feature updates as they are released, you're fine just sticking to 1.0 or 2.0. Personally, I'm not even sure if I'd get 2.0, I guess it depends on the new features.
@@SpringStarFangirl I am also sticking to 1.0. I feel like the only way to show them that we will not tolerate this is by not buying their dumb new program.
I'm still on Adobe Fireworks cs6 and I don't plan to switch to anything else anytime soon.
Yea me and my dad are sticking with 1.0.
is it that meme of becoming something you wanted to destroy but in an app. cant ever remember the exact text of it, but maybe you can understand it still
2:50 Not sure about the US, because the people don't really have rights or protective laws there, but you can't do this in most of europe. The EU passed a consumer rights law (that mostly concerns internet subscriptions and stuff) that specifies that people cannot unknowingly sign contracts and you must be given full access to the contract you agree to, or the contract is void.
Food contract: in the US at least, you can't disclaim a food by putting a "cannot sue" liability warning according to a catastrophic injury attorney who accidentally became a CZcamsr, Attorney Tom.
I love it when people accidentally become CZcamsrs
I would send that food-company a bill for the "donation" that was falsely charged, plus a processing fee on my side.

They really are perfect for art or background stuff. Of before bed :))))
To be fair, if the textbook is going to be outdated and only useful for one class, it makes sense to only really have access to it for a small amount of time, but I better not be paying the same price as a physical textbook for it.
What's annoying is when the textbook isn't used ever but is required to access homework assignments
I am waiting to run into the kind of asshole design as in the thumbnail, because that's illegal to do and I could sue them.
Why do I want to hug him, now that he has a "normal" shirt on?
He also reminds me of an actor, that I also wanted to hug some time ago.. Why do I want to hug people I find cool or neat looking? Well, I am aro/ace, but I don't know if that makes a really big difference... Haha interesting
Maybe bc he looks a bit like a stuffed animal in this video. 🤷🏽♀️ 😅

5:25 - Life hack - cancel the service as soon as you get it. You'll still get access, but you won't forget to cancel it in a few days & get charged. They're counting on you forgetting to cancel, which is how they make their money.
26:18 I can speak to the validity of this post. I have had to use Pearson products for years, and yes, it really is basically like spending $70 just so that you can do your homework. I remember the very first product I used, MyMath Lab (or MyLab Math depending on who you ask). It was an absolute abomination of a program and I will never forget the emotional damage that it caused me 😭 Also, just FYI I did the math, and it turns out that according to this rule you are permitted to print only two pages every 5 YEARS (1825 ÷ 365)! Seriously, why and HOW is this a thing?
5:23 This actually happened to my mom once.
She downloaded a free app (via/from Facebook of course) that would allow her to download wallpapers or something, but she didn’t see that even tho the app was free it has an automatic subscription to it upon downloading.
And this confused my father (who mostly keep tracks of the/their economy), and when he/they found out I was also present and being the only somewhat tech-‘wiz’ at the house I was the one to then call, I think it was Apple, to request the money back (and I think maybe also the cancellation of the subscription, tho I don’t remember), and thankfully we were able to get the money back, but both my dad and I were really eyeing my mom for quite awhile after that 😂.
A big fear of mine is elderly family members falling prey to this and them being too embarrassed to ask for help

You know, the popcorn seasoning really got me... You need to spray for a fifth of a second to get one serving. How am I supposed to do that!
Ok so the gift wrapping, I got something like that a few years back. I was only getting one gift, a new phone so my parents wanted it to take longer for me to open.
So first was a large wrapped cardboard box
In that was another wrapped box
And inside that was another wrapped box with a small screwdriver attached to it
In the box was a wooden box my dad had made. With about 10 screws I had to unscrew by hand. It took me the next 20 minutes to open it
Oh, and if I’d started unscrewing it from the wrong side (two sides of the box had a screwed on panel) I wouldn’t have gotten anywhere because the “wrong side” was also glued down.
Side note: I still have that box in my room on display because it was quite funny

This is why I don’t like reading nutritional information on a package. Companies always use weasel measurements of servings that no one is going to measure themselves.
Pretty sure EU laws actually requires meaningfully comparable data. Most food products tend to have a listing for 100g or 1kg (if sold in bulk) in addition to "serving size". Same for prices.
@@Llortnerof Or 100ml instead of 100g for most liquids.

(13:05) That's illegal in Sweden. The price tag must be the minimum payment you can make without additional feels
I'm pretty sure while a broken seal can void a warantee, you can't just say "if you open it you agree not to see" and make it true. No such "agreement" can supersede the law.
Also, I wanted to order a pizza the other day... price was 14.99. Minimum amount for delivery was 15.00 before tax.
LoL that salad is literally one of those single serving prepackaged deals at the grocery store. There's no way to get 2 meals out of it, little lone 3.5
16:35 - Since basically everyone with this problem runs Windows - there is a "troubleshooter" by Microsoft just for this, the article is called "Fix problems that block programs from being installed or removed"
(27:30) Normally I tell people to ignore the size of packaging and check the weight instead. But that doesn't work at restaurants and similar places, because they can for some reason sell without specifying size. I think restaurants should also specify size.
6:15 I had to pay $90 for an access code for a textbook that only lasted the semester. I ended up dropping the course due to covid and retaking it the next semester and so I had to pay another $90. It wasn’t even a good textbook but if I didn’t buy it I couldn’t access the homework.
Clearly the best solution here is to talk with other people and split the cost but still 😬
That’s because the textbooks have to be connected to the instructor’s grade book. So you have to buy a new version of the textbook every time you take the class
Yeah, but at least the university is free! Ow, sorry, you could be American 🙊
$130 and we had to have the code to teach us basic computer skills. I'm not kidding it was a virtual desktop running on our computers and it taught us how to save a file. Mandatory class.
This is why I prefer yarn and cats. No subscription fees (so far), and I get all the hair-covered hats I want.
Pro tip: have a minor remove the packaging that has the terms. Therefore the adult never agreed
From experience the “hidden fees” on food ordering apps are often out there by the food establishments to cover the charges levied against them by the app provider for listing on the app.
Once i forgot to pay my phone bill and they wouldnt even let me call enemergencies (only tried to call to test if they allowed it), i literally could only call the company.
THis whole video feels like an evidence collection for a world-class action law suit against pretty much every add and online company ever.

Your videos are also usually 25-45 minutes long, leaving plenty of time for actual content even with plugs. That structure applies mainly to the cookie cutter TEN MINUTE videos that youtube is littered with

7:30 Almost sounds like the train ticket system in Hungary. You can choose (depending on what train goes where) between standard train, where you buy a simple ticket (if there are too many people you won't have a seat), fast train, where you pay for the ticket and a fast train ticket (seat still not guaranteed if the train is overcrowded) and the Intercity, where you pay for a ticket, an IC ticket and seat ticket. On an IC you must buy a seat ticket. And what if you're late because of the unreliable train system? You have to buy another seat ticket for the next IC (which you already payed and is not your fault that your train was late) or pray to the MÁV (the Hungarian rail system basically) that there will be free seats and you won't have to stand on a train where you had payed for a seat.
I love our train system. It was the sixth time in the autumn semester when I finally got a seat and didn't have to stand for 2 hours because on that particular train I use they forgot to count with higher demand on weekends
This feels a bit stupid knowing that Clicc is Swedish and half of this stuff is illegal here
