I get a lot of checks and I’ve had issues with mobile deposits here and there, and they’re a huge headache. Having a bank that I can toss checks into the ATM and say “your problem now” solves the issue. I also get things notarized once or twice a year, but that’s just extra. But yeah, twice a week, I drop the kids and hit the bank on the way to the grocery store in the morning, ezpz. It is strictly convenience and nothing more.
Convenience. I have accounts with BofA because they’re three blocks from my house. It’s them or Wells Fargo, who are a little further, and then the nearest credit union is a 10m drive. So convenience. I also have USAA, but having zero branches in my state is kind of a pain.
I hate BofA, but I opened my first credit card with them 19 years ago and I value my stupid credit score for some reason, and so I have to keep it forever.
Just my own, every day.
I dunno, I’m the CEO of my own single-member LLC.
Yeah, I’m all for Australia style banning to kids, however that gets implemented, but this is slippery slope and all that. But hey, maybe not, maybe it’s the only time they do it.
It’s the beginning of the Streisand effect. I don’t know who the CEO of Horizon is, but I bet I’m gonna find out here or on Reddit soon enough, when it’s memefied.
Our parents couldn’t use computers properly, and now our kids can’t use them properly either.
That being said, I learned the hard way back in the golden age many, many times.
And if someone doesn’t pay the fee, perhaps theyre at risk of fire.
Biden specifically said he wouldn’t and then he did, that simple. And everyone knew it was a lie then, so it’s all just coming to fruition.
That is funny, and sounds like it’d be pretty expensive. I actually didn’t encounter this fortunately, because I was already costing my parents a fortune because I just couldn’t stay under 300 texts a month.
OP was too lazy to read your whole comment to know you were JK’g.
I’d have Ask Jeeves, Hotbot, and Yahoo opened when I was trawling the Internet for porn while my parents were out for 30m when I was 14 years old. There were always substantially different results, though somehow they always ended up the same: with me infecting my parents’ computer with some shit. Let’s say I did a lot of learning from my mistakes.
Yeah it definitely must be, here I am thinking they’re mouth breathers.
Does the blowhole do in? Would that not make it a suckhole? I am admittedly ignorant in whale anatomy.
People should be allowed to do as they please. I think, however, people should be presented with all the potential risks in very clear language if they’re going to, in the same way a pack of cigarettes has a warning, access to social media should present similar disclaimers.
I thought the M was silent, j’noe?
Yeah, that’s what I want. Car manufacturers should just have them be always on, and that turning them off uses some mechanic where you have to be in park or something. I’ve just seen too many people who don’t use them in the rain, and of course the folks who think their daytime lights are their headlights at night.
Mine too.
I’d even argue (this is what the Internet is for) that gray cars in rain are the absolute worst. They just disappear without any kind of lights on. I don’t know why we don’t just have headlights and taillights on all the time. It’s how I’ve driven for the past 15 years, to me it just makes sense. I’m never caught forgetting to put them on when it’s raining or when it’s dark, because they are always on. I like people to see me, I do not want to be involved in a collision.
The Encyclopedia Brittanica, they advertised that shit constantly on nickelodeon. That and Encarta, a good old disc of knowledge. I suppose OP is unfamiliar, and that’s fine, but I’m not sure I can stretch it to thinking that there were just absolutely no resources available.
And it also comes down to you weren’t aware you could get that knowledge instantly, and so you didn’t miss it, per se. I did research papers on whomever in grade school and I went to the library and pulled out a couple books, mainly for the sake of padding the bibliography.
I was in eighth grade when wiki showed up, and by high school it became “no wikipedia” as a policy, but at that point, savvy enough individuals were using wiki for it’s bibliography.
And so, in short, the change wasn’t super pronounced. If I had a desire to learn something, I’d figure out some way to go learn it. The convenience is obviously there, though, I certainly don’t want to take anything away from wiki and what it’s done.
