Yeah I suppose this is the counter argument, have a prepaid minutes sim you can use in emergencies.

Next argument after that is what if you are out of reach and someone else in the family has an emergency and tries to reach you.

In all reality I value my phone plan with internet so I stay off other wifi sources that may not be trust worthy.

I know they are rich and all, but I wouldn’t give an 8 year old a cell phone. With homes as they are today there probably wouldn’t be a land line. The movie is mostly the same, some of the boobie traps are slightly different is all.

I suppose once they get off the plane and turn off airplane mode they will get a doorbell notification about someone at the door and see it is Kevin looking around. Still the same though, can even have this be the moment they realize they left him behind.

Yeah I really wish there was some kind of patent reform so a company can only hold a patent long enough for the work to create the innovation to be worth the pursuit of it.

Instead they will use patents to stifle innovation and stop people from being able to compete with new ideas based on an original innovation. The patent system was supposed to foster innovation, not stifle it.

Ive never seen any politician on any side do anything about the aggressive use of patents. Companies will buy out companies just for the patents. Its obviously a big issue that reworked would make it harder for a corporation to thrive without continuing to innovate and provide what the people really want or need.

It seems to work just fine for the right, so I’m not sure why there’s a double standard on the left. The truth is, it’s not really a problem for most people. They just use it and any other excuse they can to justify voting against the left party or leftist politicians. This is often because they support racist, misogynistic, or authoritarian ideas that sound bad when said out loud. So instead, they look for reasons to say the other person is bad and can’t be voted for.

I expect some people will respond by trying to point out how bad the left is over the right for some reason, which only ends up proving my point. It’s likely that anyone who does this is just trying to deflect from their own side’s issues rather than addressing the real problems.

Edit just to add: Saying the left is bad is one thing, saying they are worse than the right or shit only smells when they do it is just ludicrous…
