They completely underrepresented the scope of the breach.... That is what puts them in the sketchy category

Well 23&me business is not actually DNA testing, it's collecting and selling people's DNA data. The market for this on pets does not exist

Also, the way they handled their data breach (or the fact they had any) definitely stains their reputation

Finally, because they were doing the DNA testing at a loss and selling the DNA data has proven to be harder than expected, they are actually on the bring of bankruptcy

All these companies are fronts for scams preying on people's love for their pets...

Don't be a victim

That's how it started... Basic things like taking out the trash and it was worth it because it was so cheap and/or better value than a hotel

But now they want you to mow the lawn and you are often not saving anything.... So there is no balance any more

No, there should be no chore list

Other than instructions on where to leave the key or how to lock up, there should be nothing else

I agree with this 110%

You are not a pussy for thinking that ... I was there once too... We were both naive

Until a friend taught me 2 facts of life and brakes:

  1. car manufacturers make sure these vital parts are easy to put together to avoid mistakes...

  2. if you pay a shop to do this for you, 9.7 out of 10 times, it will be the greenest, unpaid apprentice who'd do this job on your car

Ps: I did my first job supervised by my friend... Word spread and I knew and by now I have done 4 brake jobs for myself and 16 for friends

I strongly disagree that Trudeau is "as bad" as PP

I see nothing that tells me that PP would be better on the economy or social safety or quality of life improvement over Trudeau .. but with PP we get the shit on LGBT, shit on immigrants, shit on education glaze on top of the turd sunday

Ps: while I also would have liked for Freeland to get a shot... Canadians were shitting on her, just for being a woman in power, since the time she was actually doing good work (like dealing with Trump for new NAFTA)... Heck, they shit on Trudeau for being more welcoming of women in power (because he is fake apparently) and cheer for the cons whose fallen prince MacKey referred to his ex girlfriend as a female dog... in parliament

Yes, but as in Canada, pretending Biden is just as bad as Trump (or Trudeau just as bad as PP) is really like saying " hey, I got a burn by touching that hot pot... Better off put my hand in the fire, iT'S tHe saME ThiNg"

I think they are ridiculous... They may bring $500 worth of enhancement or productivity for people under special circumstances...

Very definitely not worth the ridiculous price tag
