If you call and bitch and threaten to cancel they'll usually lower your rate. However, it's usually only for 6 months to a year, so you have to keep calling so they don't raise your rate back up. Not sure if that is worth it for everyone.

Nah, with Howard going to three days a week regularly soon, Opie and Anthony being horrible with politics and racism lately, and Ron and Fez alternating between complete genius and annoying, I'll just cancel. If I hear of a particularly good episode of Ron and Fez, I'll just download it from Audible. Stern's best bits eventually wind up at youtube.

Ya know, I never actually SAW Beth O's weddings dress. http://www.examiner.com/howard-stern-in-national/wedding-dress-wars-beth-o-vs-kate-middleton-picture Not bad. I still feel like her posed smiles are SCARY, though. She tends to look a lot more natural (and a lot hotter) in the candid pics. I guess the smile is part of the whole Bent-Knee Syndrome. As for this morning, wow, Depace with the birther poo poo. AGAIN. That is hard to take first thing in the morning at 6 AM. Nice to hear Howard riled up about something, though. I also found Jesse the bike builder interesting... the whole thing about false accusations ruining his football career. Ouch.

The 100 button is completely blank and if I tap it, it just buffers endlessly. Also screw Mel for raising rates. Service loving sucks and they're raising rates. Foes he really think he can keep people? Satellite radio isn't cable, there are actually plenty of other viable options for in car audio.

After spending 30 minutes on hold, I cancelled my account today. Thankfully the card they used for auto billing is expired, so they can't extract more money from me if they tried.

I've cancelled other units, mostly because they were broken or I got a new one or something and no matter what I say for the reason, they try to talk me into keeping the other one. I don't even think they listen to the reason.

I don't even think they listen to the reason. First they offered me 1 year at half off and then 5 months for $25. They did ask why I cancelled. I told them because of Howard's shortened work week and the rate hike.

This is the worst week of this show I have ever heard. What the gently caress? You'd think after a week off they'd have *something* lined up that is interesting. The guests are a bore, the conversation is a bore, and the topics are "access hollywood" worthy.

I thought Jesse James sounded like a real douche this morning. "I took all of that, and I took it on the chin LIKE A MAN" Yes! You took responsibility for a situation which you created. Congrats, you're a grown man. Seriously though, had he gone left instead of right, he'd be that jock from your high school that you still hate for beating you up back in the day.

DePace is such a dipshit. Howard absolutely killed it when he walked him into the "Do you believe in god?" trap. 121 IQ is apparently still pretty retarded because a 10 year old would have seen that one coming.

Just slap a turban onto Ronnie and they're gold. They can even use his underage girlfriend to really capture the creep factor.

His politics don't even bother me that much, the problem is whenever he gets in an argument with someone he has no logical reason to think the way he does. His arguments are just insane. I have to imagine he's just trolling everyone, or the IQ test is bullshit.

Usually the only valid IQ test you have to pay money for and be administered by a clinical psychologist. Any other "IQ Test" such as online or elsewhere is usually bullshit.

I am proof positive that a high IQ doesn't mean much. I have massive spatial reasoning problems (and was diagnosed as such when I was as kid) and yet, I have a high IQ. It means nothing.

It typically just shows a capacity, not a ceiling, for general intelligence and learning. Having an IQ of 90 doesn't mean you're doomed to some low level menial work nor does an IQ of 160 mean people are just going to hand you a degree based on that fact.

What are "massive spatial reasoning problems"? Can you give an example? Also - for show specific talk, I sure am getting loving tired of Robin interrupting interviews. Today she butted in on Jesse James about the stupidest loving poo poo constantly.

therapy posted:What are "massive spatial reasoning problems"? Can you give an example? I have a real problem conceptualizing things - math for example is absolutely impossible for me to the point that I have trouble doing simple math in my head. I can't add and carry numbers, for example. It is actually really embarrassing. I got tested when I was a kid and just never, ever got past it. No amount of tutoring or working with the comp ed teachers helped. Regarding Robin, she jumped in at one point during the interview with him and I actually told my radio to shut up. Joe Don Baker posted:Sounds like a fancy way of saying, "I have a horrible sense of direction." Ha - women be askin' directions! I was actually afraid when I took my SATs I wasn't going to score high enough on the math to be eligible for college sports.
