So you think that no one living in an apartment should own a cat?
You mean another idiot?
I saw Ozzy 3 times in the 90's and a couple more times in the early 2000's. Was an amazing show. The point I was trying to make is as long as people are willing to pay the fees, they will keep charging them. It's really that simple. I'm not saying people shouldn't pay to see their favorite performer, but the issue is companies don't listen to anything but their bottom line. Hopefully the FTC's lawsuit (I think it was the FTC) against Ticketmaster will have some effect on things in the future, but time will tell.
I have, in the last 10-15 years started going to smaller venues where Ticketmaster isn't part of the equation. Saw Gemini Syndrome not long ago in Wisconsin for $45, got to see a public show and then a more intimate acoustic show after for that price. Did something similar with In This Moment earlier this year. Will fully admit it's a different kind of experience then a big arena, but at damn near 50, I kind of prefer the smaller crowd.
Snails for the salt party sounds like it would work out exactly how you'd expect.
People pay the outrageous prices. If people didn't, they wouldn't charge as much. Ticketmaster is a shit show, for sure, but if no one played the game, there wouldn't be a game.
Oh no.... Anyway
I wouldn't buy a car that could only drive on roads approved by the maker, so same goes for phone.
Lost my mom to breast cancer nearly 20 years ago. Wife got cervical cancer 15 years ago, ended up beating it and has been cancer free for 12 years. Cancer fucking sucks floppy donkey dick.
I don't know about the payment method, but I've had pretty good luck with Hetzner's auction servers. I'm currently running an Intel Core i7-8700, 14TB HDD Space, and 128GB RAM. for about $42 US. I run Swizzin for ruTorrent, JellyFin, and NaviDrive. Even run a game server manager called AMP outside Swizzin to spin up Minecraft, Palworld, or almost any Steam game with a dedicated server. Have the occasional lag issue with the game servers, but works fairly well most of the time.
