For a service so well-established, this certainly feels like a scam! I enrolled for 3 months, one of which was a free trial. I tried to cancel before receiving a charge for month 2, but it was impossible to do via mobile, so I put it off until it was too late. When month 3 came around, I was charged again, but didn't even receive a new credit! Yes, Audible charged me for a "good" that it did not deliver. I worked harder to cancel my subscription this time. Now I enjoy free audiobooks through the Libby app. All you need is a library card, and it's scam-free!

Great reads for no cost. Not sure of the legality of comic sharing, but I have greatly enjoyed reading what is available through this site. Everything I read on here is available at my library anyway, but it saves me some trips out there! A search feature would be nice, but one could simply Cmd+F to search the sidebar.

The process of reserving your rental car is not so bad, but picking it up is terrible.
Even having reserved the car in advance, we had to wait an hour and a half for our ticket number to be called. You could consider that I was picking up the car in a major city, but even considering that the efficiency was terrible. Then we got to the desk and were assailed with confusing questions and given little clarity when we asked questions in return. The service was poor, let's say. After we had everything set straight, we waited another half hour for them to bring our car around. I'm not sure why it took so darn long.
Returning the car is pretty simple, but you better fill up on gas somewhere else. They charge about $9.50/gallon for any missing gas. A bunch of other obscure fees were also added.
The only positive aspect of the experience is that the car they gave us ran well and was clean.

I came across this website in a searching for notable people of Lancaster. I was instantly in hysterics when I saw the home page of the website. The model shot of the beautiful man that the website is supposedly named for is all well and good, but when paired with the tautological slogan "WINNERS WIN," I cannot help but laugh at the absurdity. Not only is the phrase utterly un-profound, it is also divisive in nature. It implicitly categorizes people into black-and-white factions of winners and non-winners (dare I say "losers"). This is very unlikely to inspire or empower anyone who does not already consider herself/himself to be a winner, and only feeds into a culture of narcissism for those who do consider themselves winners. I cannot tell if the picture of the man laughing is Jordan Steffy, or someone who is laughing at Jordan Steffy.
Beneath the home page is a grid of organizations with which Mr. Steffy is affiliated. There is a brief description and an awkward attempt at being emotionally relatable paired with each organization. (On second thought, one has no description at all.)
Below these is yet another grid containing links to what I presume are six important areas of Mr. Steffy's life, such as "Running" and "Reading." Of particular note is the "Quotes" tab which contains eight of Mr. Steffy's favorite quotes. Six of them are not credited, one is from MLK Jr., and the last one is a quote from the famous Jordan Steffy himself. I had another hearty laugh at the "Cheeseburger and Fries" section, which reads, "This text is a place holder to show what it will look like with some content." The "Football" link contains the equivalent to a newborn baby's outfit: nothing.
Scroll down further and you find an unsolved Rubik's Cube. Its purpose is unidentified. Perhaps it is to suggest intelligence. Perhaps its unsolved nature is meant to mirror this unfinished website. Perhaps it is a reflection of what a puzzle this site is--is it a promotion or a parody?
Finally, at the very bottom of the page, we learn that the website is copyrighted by the man himself. Perhaps it's not a joke after all...
