sbv,

It’s okay from time to time. I’ve been doing it too much recently.

sbv,

are we talking consequences or Consequences?

sbv,

sbv,

yes please

sbv,

I’m really lazy, so I use the jar method (they article calls it cash stuffing or the envelope method). But I use multiple accounts and automated transfers.

Basically: I have one account for personal spending, one for bills, one for insurance, one for groceries, one for vacation money, etc. I get paid regularly, so I have automated transfers move money into the appropriate accounts.

When it comes time to make an expense in the given category (e.g. insurance), I pay it out of the appropriate account.

The benefits

  1. I don’t need to think about it after it’s set.
  2. If I overspend in a category, it doesn’t reduce cash available in other categories.
  3. It’s easy to tell if my budget is wrong: ie, if an account is building up cash, or doesn’t have enough money, it’s time to revisit the budget.

The first item is the most important to me. I’m not consistent enough to manage a spreadsheet.

sbv,

Everyone here is saying “I didn’t see it” while some of us needed to stare for a couple of seconds to see the actual image.

sbv,

Goldschläger is so much cheaper

sbv,

also go to the gym

sbv,

it could be functional

sbv,

That’s where I get stuck.

Tbf Bill Murray’s character had infinite iterations. Like, there are probably a bunch where he was just lying in bed, a few where he murdered the entire town, a few where he rolled around in his own feces.

sbv,

haha mark zuckerburg you creepy fuck look at me LOOK AT ME

sbv,

It’s a slash-t in the comment. Maybe kbin has different rendering rules for comments?

sbv,

I wore a Utilikilt for a while. They’re surprisingly uncomfortable. Sitting in a kilt requires effort. The material is a heavy denim, which is hot and doesn’t fall nicely. I expected the breeze to be enjoyable. It’s not.

The pockets are good.

sbv,

The world is already a miserable enough place without trying to make people feel bad about their content watching habits.

Exactly this.

I am the kind of guy who will make fun of you for watching and enjoying the first few seasons of Disco and Picard because I think they suck

If someone can be friendly while they’re joking around like that, I’m all for it. But it’s hard to get that subtlety into a comment.

sbv,

If my kids were unmonitored, they’d probably watch game streamers all day, every day.

I rationalize it like watching sports, but I don’t really understand that either.

sbv,

First two are pretty much it

What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

sbv,

I was like “this Lemmite gets it,” until I got to the Interstellar part.

But I’m glad we have common ground on the shit show that is Inception. It felt incredibly long. I don’t know if it was because I was bored, or if it’s genuinely six hours long.

sbv,

you’re fantastic

sbv,

Because being user-friendly is way, way, way more important than things like privacy, not being bombarded by ads,

People gravitate to the technology that they can use.

I live in a small town. Every business and service has a Facebook group because it’s usable. A couple of stalwarts maintain web pages but they’re full of inaccurate information because they’re too hard to update. The Facebook groups, on the other hand, are constantly up-to-date, and the owners are quick to respond to any comment on them.

That’s before you get to network effects. Everyone in the town uses Facebook. So when kids ask for a messaging or social media account, they ask for a Facebook product so they can talk to their friends and family.

It’s incredibly shitty. Everyone in town would agree with your sentiment, but they bounce off competing products. The effort involved in hosting a service isn’t a higher perceived cost than the ads, privacy invasion, etc.

sbv,

I’ve had some pretty nasty intrusive thoughts. I’d like to believe it’s more than just social conditioning that kept them under wraps. But maybe.

sbv,

I don’t understand your statement. Can you explain it?

sbv,

Archimedes agrees

sbv,

I thought this was one of the parenting communities for a second…

sbv,

Enough with these Halloween jump scares.
