Why Bruno Mars specifically? Am I out of some loop? I'm old so probably.

I'm guessing the outage came when everyone was trying to buy Bruno Mars tickets before scalpers got to them.

But that's just a TH

I’m going to call today and see if I can get even a small credit on my next bill. I went almost 12 hours with no service. I’ve been with them since before their name was even Verizon, but I know what my answer will be. I’m still going to try. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I don’t think I can get a free month, but they definitely should knock a few bucks off of my next bill.

I got a text today saying that they’re giving a $20 credit on my next bill if I go to a website and request it.

I agree, but what's the alternative? AT&T? They're just Verizon Lite. T-Mobile? Their service area is worse than Verizon & AT&T. All the smaller/discount carriers are just MVNOs that use Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile's network.

I had Verizon for years, and I've had TMobile for a couple of years, and they are equally shitty, but at least T-Mobile is half the price, and give me free streaming platforms, AND lots of discounts. Verizon acts like they're doing you a favor.

I was with Verizon for years, as they got more and more expensive, and customer service got worse and worse, and then they started charging for it.

So I switched to T-Mobile. They have the same mediocre service, but they are half the price, and include Netflix and Hulu. I also got their $35 Internet, which works fine, and that includes Paramount and Peacock. Then they have TMobile Tuesdays, which gets me good deals on pizza.

So imagine my schadenfreude as Verizon dive-bombed yesterday.

Who is Bruno Mars? (I will not google it!)

He's the fourth in a series of eight superheroes (there used to be nine, but Bruno Pluto retired). They use their rings, and together they create Bruno solar system. They fight crime.

He wears a sexy red outfit with sexy high heels and is in a tender and loving relationship with Bruno Venus. They kiss with tongue.

(And they're also in a K-pop band by day)

Obviously it's real life but anime can be based on real life.

Bro it's a sock puppet opera, and the third season was also a "manga" in Japan before but no spinoff ever lived up to that show, .. (rip Bruno Neptune btw no moonless will ever live up to that legendary interpretation)

Singer. You've probably heard stuff by him, even my old ass has.

Honestly, my fav mainstream pop musician. Apt, Die With a Smile and that Don Quijote song are unironically so good

My former /mu/tant, music snob, RYMer ass hates how good Silk Sonic is. Can't say I like much of his solo stuff but that is a good project

Krispy Kreme gave out free donuts for 2 hours as a consolation for the outage.

You reached the end
