Nah, just in Rio.




Okay, on the outskirts and in the shitty (pun intended) parts of Salvador.

I'm 29 and since moving out of my parents' house, I've never had one. I've had the same cell number since I was 14, and that's about all I need.

I've never had a newspaper subscription either, and none of my friends have either, that I know of.

That's really not uncommon.

I am still able to read all the KC Star.com content for free.

Maybe the paywall only applies to people in the KC area?

Weird.

But give me the option of whether or not I want to pay for access to it. Don't just throw it onto my bill and hope to slide it by me. And customer service in the Philippines? WTF is that????

Out sourcing because it saves them money. Just like most call centers are outside of the US.

I just can't get comfy trying to take a dump and balance my laptop at the same time.

Its funny you said that- there are lots of folks that have No clue what a library is- peretty sad. They walk in and can't grasp the concept that you get books, ebooks, music and DVDs all free.

I havn't rented a movie in years. Through World Cat you can link to Every library in the country and get any movie you can think of- no charge.

I think i remember reading that the NOLA newspaper was the first big city newspaper to go to only printing 3 or 4 days a week. How much longer until other cities do the same?

I can see getting the Star, as it would have news I would be interested in. It is also nice to have something physical in your hands like George says. Besides old newspapers are handy for a lot of stuff.

We get the Chicago Tribune up here for the Mrs. but I only look at the back page of the sports to see the MO Valley standings (No big 12!) and what games are going to be on the tube.

I get my news on the internet though, and never did care for the rest of the paper. We could easily do without it.

Newspapers are pretty much screwed in the modern world.
