Don't you trust our mother corporations?

if there was a way to make it so that the cell provider didn't know where I was, I'd want that too.
I don't have a pre, but I want to get to the bottom of this. The interwebs is saying that this is enabled by default, not by user prompt. Can you clear up my confusion? It's a propmt when you first turn on the phone? Does the carrier maybe turn it on before sending the phone (for some carriers) causing the confusion?

Amazon, if you close your eyes and ignore the egregious fees. You'll still probably get more money than Craigslist and less danger/hassle than Ebay.

two words: PayPal lol

Ebay was so awesome when it was the wild wild west and you had to actually email back and forth with buyers and sellers to establish a repoire before you trusted them. It baffles me that a smaller auction company has never really risen from Ebay's apparent ashes. I really had my money on Gbay for a while...

Between Ebay, Craigslist and Amazon (who charges say a 15% fee to sell video games), I'll get the most money in my pocket selling on Amazon and that is bullshit.

good ending :)

He listlessly works through lunch, then goes to the bar after work to meet up with some university friends, where they talk about their jobs and make ironic jokes about other people. Back at home, he wonders why he feels so gross and empty after spending time with them, but it’s mostly better than being alone.

good description of my slightly younger hipster sorta-friends lol
