I lose them entirely too often for that to be an affordable option for me 🤭 I get like 80 clothespins for $1. I’ve gone through like 5 packs of them in 15 years, give or take.

But maybe I’d hit a level of saturation eventually (I find random clothespins all the time now) and it would work out.

Probably not - I have a habit of MacGyvering stuff from whatever I find laying around.. clothespins are stupid handy for that, and binder clips would be too.. so I’d definitely repurpose them.. :)

As one of the entries on the list (for once, that never happens…), this is true.

It could, but if you deprive sleep to the point of hallucinations, you risk legit permanent damage. Which costs long term money.

But also please sleep better if you can, that’s bad for you long term. And you sound young. Don’t fuck up your future for no reason.

You know how hard it is to visually hallucinate without spending money? (With the exception of pressure hallucinations, when you press your eyeballs for several minutes then let go and see geometric shit)

Nearly impossible. Because if you fuck up any of the free methods even slightly you are either getting buried (expensive) or in hospital (expensive). That includes genetic hallucinations, which they make you pay for meds for!

I hallucinate (I have a chronic headache and migraine condition, so I’m prone to such things), but it’s mostly olfactory, so mostly I smell peanut butter when there isn’t any. Not really fun or interesting, and I hate peanut butter. I’ve also recently started auditory hallucinations, but only hearing my deceased cats calling for me or video game music on repeat, again not interesting.

What I do to make sure I’m staying in budget is pay the cards off every week. Gives time for transactions to post and ensures the card never holds a higher balance than I can pay off before interest is added.

I’ve gotten automatic credit line increases over the years, so the amount I can charge is roughly 4x the max I ever have in the bank, but the weekly payoff strategy makes it basically the same as using debit, except with cash back perks.

Doubtful - I leave my account for years at a time between logins, and it’s still active (have had the account since 2002 or so, and have had at least a 10 year span without any use).

I wonder when they will start digging up nests of eggs specifically to incubate at cooler temps to make sure that some are born male.. gosh what a huge undertaking that would be..

Lawl, I don’t need the government to give me money to not work, I’m literally going to do that anyway, probably for a year or more. But finding a new job isn’t as easy as you seem to think. You just sound super out of touch with society as a whole.

I want everyone else to have the security to quit without having found a new job. And that requires social programs. Because insurance, and housing, and childcare needs and whatever else.

The perk of the social programs is giving people who live in poverty the security to walk away when the workplace is shit. People who live in poverty (of which I technically count based on income, even though I’ve managed to make it work through mostly choosing never to have a family, and getting lucky the partner of my deceased parent was willing to co-sign a cheap foreclosure for me at a good time in the market) typically can’t afford not to have steady income, and business rely on that to keep wages low. I recognize my privilege in being able to do this, and don’t see why I should be able when people who raise the next generation of humans can’t. If anyone should be able to take downtime to do things they want, it’s parents. But they are the most forced into long hour and low wages.

You might want to, as the internet says these days, touch grass.

Having it done as an automatic thing due to government regulation is hardly the same as needing to seek out a specific service, entirely on my own, to have the thing done.

I don’t care if it “still needs to be done by a person”, that was never even a question. This straw man is boring.

Yeah you’re right, totally entirely my job to do literally all of it, and talking to people to raise awareness of something that would currently be a non-starter does absolutely nothing.

Thanks for the help! -.-

I would normally agree with you, but I’m not so bad.. 😜

It’s not imposing will, that’s literally what it’s called within the program framework. People decided on these terms before most of us knew the platform even existed.

That’s why you see links to c/whatever and m/whatever. Communities and magazines.
