  • People who get billed at month end but the card is no longer valid and they don't update so there's no way to get then to pay excerpt trying the collections route.

    Or, just make try to ensure any card used will be billable at month end.

    It's a bit stupidly implimented, because of the way it fails to align with how banks do things. IMO it'd be better applied only to new accounts.

  • Cashless requires an effective cash substitute, otherwise people who can't get bank accounts are not able to use money.

    These people include but are not limited to:

    • newly adult children of "off grid" or religious cult parents who did not register their birth, or whose parents are withholding their vital documents
    • people who have lost all their identification in a disruptive life event such as a house fire, flight from a war zone, unexpected incarceration with subsequent loss of home and belongings, or due to activity resulting from untreated mental health conditions
    • identity theft victims whose electronic reputation has been destroyed
    • victims of bureaucratic error who are officially dead or otherwise tangled in red tape
    • immigrants, migrants, and refugees who are not "legal" and who therefore can't get the documentation they need (regardless what you think of those who skirt immigration laws, this group includes people brought into a country as children, and human trafficking victims and even if it didn't the punishment for illegal immigration should be deportation, not starving on the streets)

    Outside of that, while a cash or cash equivalent economy allows for various criminal and black market economy, it also provides a buffer for targeted minorities or other potential victims if there's an outbreak of fascist and/or genocidal government.

    This is the bulk of why I think we need some form of legal currency that is bearer only.

  • I'm cold. /whinge

  • This will definitely end well.

  • Depends on the socks.

    Rome conquered a huge swathe of territory while wearing socks with their sandals.

  • Long weekend is long and after two days of chores I have one day of chill

  • I feel sneezy

  • Ok as in they do the job

  • I'd be more than fine with this, I just don't want us to hate mosquitoes into a four pests scenario.

  • I use a scoopy plus a towel to decondense the windows, total setup cost $25

    I've heard those karcher window vacs are OK though.

  • I know a lot of people very dislike GMOs but I think if we used them properly we could really reduce the need for water and fertilizer in the dairy and beef industries. Which would be good because we live in a capitalist world regardless if we want to or not.

  • Unfortunately, we probably can't. A LOT of things eat mosquitos.

    I'll settle for a repellent that works or better yet something that makes me no longer react to bites.

  • I have two minutes till a meeting so can't actually do any work lest I get caught up in it and be late to the meeting. So it goes.

  • Themes, neat!

  • Beds are so important

  • Log in as her on your device. Delete the history, turn off ad personalisation, unsubscribe and block dodgy stuff, like and subscribe healthier things, and this is the important part: keep coming back regularly to tell YouTube you don't like any suggested videos that are down the qanon path/remove dodgy watched videos from her history.

    Also, subscribe and interact with things she'll like - cute pets, crafts, knitting, whatever she's likely to watch more of. You can't just block and report, you've gotta retrain the algorithm.

  • Look I live in a place where we get sideways torrential rain. Often. I need my phone to be waterproof enough to survive my commute to work on a bad day

  • Is this not basically what google and Microsoft do with their stuff, minus the subscribe even though they aren't there yet bit? It's your meta account, regardless if you're using that particular feature?

  • I am shocked by this turn of events. Shocked I say.
