Use a virtual credit card when signing up for subscription services. Set the recurring amount at just enough to cover the trial amount, and then once the subscription fee goes up it'll notify you if you wish to continue paying for it. You can increase the limit if you want to keep the service, or just let the card decline until the service is cancelled. Most credit cards have virtual cards as an option, but I also use app.paywithextend.com

‘I’ve never seen heat this bad. It’s not normal’: Italy struggles as temperature tops 40C 104F (48C 120F predicted)

this is a problem that we've all created

You mean this is a problem that the boomers and gen x created. THEY are the generations that controlled the corporations whose only concern was profit. THEY are the generations that pushed consumerism with no regard to the natural world. THEY are the generations that elected the politicians that allowed this all to happen. So here come the millennials and zoomers to clean up their mess, just like everything else they fucked up for the rest of us.

Return-to-office orders look like a way for rich, work-obsessed CEOs to grab power back from employees

Well, let's do some quick math. Let's count billable hours in a day with a minimum billable hour being 1 hour. If you work a 6 hour work day, and can complete the average task in 15 minutes, that works out to 24 possible billable hours in one day accounting for a total of 90 minutes of actual work.

So yeah, on paper it's actually really easy to "work" 100 hours per week

The vast majority of abortions, like 99.9%, are either for medical reasons or sexual assault. The conservative hegemony has done an excellent job of brainwashing people like yourself into believing the opposite. I can't even imagine the horror that rape victims go through when being forced to give birth to a constant reminder of the unbelievable hell that they endured.

Whenever these two reasons (medical and rape) are brought up to abortion opponents, they all seem to be ok with terminating pregnancies as these are acceptable exceptions.

I made the jump about 2 months ago for the same reasons you're considering. My job also being very similar in usage to yours. Literally 0 issues so far, couldn't be more satisfied that I made the jump. I went with mint and there was basically zero learning curve for me coming from w10.

Do it.
