Also I sometimes get a 3% fee for debit

Wait til they find out about the “gun glitch” (armed robbery)

The other scary things with financing is people who struggle to live within their means and people using it for emergencies when they struggle to make ends meet.

Personally I follow the rule I was taught: only use financing for housing, vehicles, and education, each of which should be evaluated to be within your means and benefitting your life.

Debt is a chain, it can bring great advancement such as homeownership or a desired career, but it binds you for its duration and it’s an awful experience. I hope someday to be debt free, but it’s financially stupid to pay off my student loans right now when a mutual fund has more return on investment. I still like to put a big chunk in for special occasions when I can

Well there are Estados Unitidos, but those are in Mexico

Because I’ve been told by people of the other nations of these two continents that it bugs them and I had a nice and easy alternative

It’s boomer for lol and rofl

Yeah James Bond was based off saboteuers not spies (specifically the unit the author was involved with). And a lot of intelligence work is just adversarial mathematics. Most spies are just ordinary people who are good at blending into the background and paying attention without seeming like it

It’s also the late nights and bar food and not getting enough exercise. Psychs are great for those that psychs are great for, but finding a good balance that includes different types of fun is good for you, and if you can’t enjoy a nice short evening of sober hanging out with friends you ought to resolve that

Yeah mumps is real bad, and iirc rubella is generally not too bad after birth, but if a pregnant person gets it it’s known for causing birth defects.

Vaccines are amazing. Like I get that some like covid and smallpox are unpleasant, but even those are better than the disease. And while many people may not like the idea of giving their kid a vaccine for an std, the hpv vaccine prevents cancer.

Drinking during a hike is fun if it’s a light hike and light drinking. Small beer would probably be excellent even on a little bit rougher. That said I’m one of those people who loves going on a long walk when I’m hammered. Like, if I still drank like I did in college people would have to keep me from doing a mile+ while shitfaced.

Yeah turns out there’s a reason for that whole MMR thing

Kids, at a certain point in life you’re going to feel an urge to cut back on the late nights partying and feel like you ought to eat better and exercise more, maybe even spend a Saturday hiking without drugs or alcohol. If you don’t listen to your body when it tells you that, you’ll wind up looking like kid rock. And if you don’t get that feeling by 30 pretend you did and do it anyways.

Back pocket

Yeah idgaf about headphones ports anymore, USB headphones have gotten me spoiled. But a second USB port would be awesome

Being an adult with adhd is buying one of these after one too many days where you could feel your heartbeat in your extremities

Very true for specific foods, but I will say that back when I ate meat it was negligible on meat. I really recommend tasting it plain to really understand how it works flavor wise.

So I actually do too funnily enough. Comparing it to the pacific northwest, here I get a mild headache when it switches between wet times and dry times, but there I got a decent headache every few weeks in the spring and autumn and the occasional in the summer. I miss tornado season though, sure my head hurt, but the howl of the wind, the wall in the sky that looks like the world will end, then heavy rains that you sit in a garage with the door open smoking pot with your friends and watching. I don’t miss much about Ohio, but tornado season was nice.

Or you learn to smell it and feel it. But it’s not good for distant weather and the earlier you feel it the worse it’ll be. It’s a common skill in places with stupid amounts of weather like the American Midwest.

Also if you do home cooking with msg (I used to, but stopped out of not bothering with msg) it really isn’t that addictive. It enhances umami flavor, which is excellent for when you really want a dish to pop, but it’s not like you’re gonna down an entire casserole because you put msg in it. Though you might eat more of your pan fried broccoli because the msg really kicks it up a notch.

Seriously, msg does more to improve the flavor of roasted and pan fried veggies than anything else, if you struggle with eating such things it may help
