Amex can get your money back on anything. Went to the vet they tried to gaslight me into doing an expensive procedure so I dispute the visit fee 75$

My work has guest WiFi but I don't have access.
However, if i connect to it on my phone, enable my VPN on my laptop, then enable USB tethering from my phone i have unrestricted access on my laptop. lol
You can get a kindle with ads for cheaper than ask them to remove the ads.
...or get a Kobo and never have to jump through the hoops
Exactly. The kobo is the king. The kindle is just spyware
Straight up.

I enjoyed paying $1.50/mo for YouTube premium by signing up with a VPN to Turkey 🇹🇷 but that’s not a thing anymore 😢
Why pay the bastards, just block their ads? Plus you can get sponsor block and bring back youtube dislike
What do you use it for? Adblock? Use uBlock Origin
Video download? Use yt-dlp, or one of its many GUIs, such as Tubular (Linux) or Seal (Android)

VPN via Turkey used to work on other subs too. Often something like 1:10 discounts. Most of these loopholes are closed though.

I don't know if it's a "loophole," but I find my phone to be a pretty good eReader. I did the same with an old tablet (just has the eReader and the book(s)). I've never had a real eReader so I can't really comment on the difference, but if you're just trying to read, a good app costs a couple bucks, way cheaper.
Doesn't it strain your eyes tho? I thought the appeal of having an e-reader is having the screen easy on the eyes.
I've always used Android tablets. You need an app that allows you to fiddle with the colors. Mine is dark orange on a black background.
eReader Prestigio has been good to me.

On my old commute, there was this one really long red light with a u-turn and merging road to the right you could take. Since the merging road was there, a right turn was allowed.
On busy traffic days, you could take the u-turn if the light was turning red and just go and skip it with a right turn. Pretty sure it pissed people off, but it was legal as far as I could tell.
I'm not sure if I'm picturing it correctly, but this just sounds like a Michigan left, which is how a lot of intersections here are designed (left turn is forbidden, you have to go past, u-turn, and turn right).

If something you bought broke because of shitty design (like stick drift), buy a new one and return the broken one as defective for a refund with the box and receipt from the new one
Edit: added as defective
It's not a loophole if it's illegal. My guess is this counts as fraud.
Impossible to prove. Functionally unenforceable. But, sure, perhaps not technically a loophole.
