This barely helps. 😑 I feel old.

Desperation. Stupidity. Ignorance. If people weren't doing stupid shit with their finances, companies like this and BNPL companies wouldn't exist. They are all feeding off of desperation.

I eat 3 eggs every morning. 21 a week.

Eggs are too expensive.

I love hearing about how protective the GDPR is and wish it was a worldwide initiative with the teeth to truly protect humanity from themselves.

It's in two spots as well and the values conflict often.

I don't listen to metal often but I LOVE going to metal shows.

The metal crowd is mostly full of chill and nice people.

The site says it's closing August of 2020...

Is that just America though? Are there other countries where profit isn't king?

No one is stopping you from giving home made, second hand, or similar gifts. You make the choice about how much consumerism you want to participate in during the holidays and all year as well.

Settle down there, that's not what all the headlines say. How will the pitchforks get used unless the headline is 100% negative?

To be fair, it's bad... I'm not arguing against that.

That heavily depends on your location.

Wow, that is awful. Make it as hard as you can for a person to leave your service?

I need to switch.

He's too high profile. Too many people watching him at all times. An assassin would have a hard time getting to him I would think.

Stop pushing medicaire as the answer. Medicaid is far superior and is what should be given to all.

72-74F (~22-23C)

My house is very drafty so it gets cold in it.

Open enrollment is such bullshit. Everything about insurance is bullshit.

As someone trying to learn Spanish I wish there was no gendering in Spanish. It makes the language significantly harder to learn.

With a shurg and walk away.

I paid someone 0.1 bitcoin for a ~$30 item in 2013. I checked the receiving wallet in 2014 and it hadn't been accessed. I reached out to the guy and told him it was worth $60 and asked him if he had access still. Explained to him how he could access it, gave him some links. I reched out to him again in 2021 and told him it was worth $4k and told him he should sell it. He said he didn't remember how he set up a wallet and he couldn't access it. In the end I think he likely downloaded a wallet to his computer and then got rid of that computer. Just checked today and that .1 btc is still there, worth 9600 now.

No, that was bad.
