No. I can’t see how I spend my money on there unfortunately. It’s also big on advertising like “you should get another credit card. Here’s some preapproved offers!”

But Tbf, I barely notice the lack because Mint could never get my transactions right anyway and was constantly disconnecting accounts.

I switched before this because I wanted to keep an eye on my credit score. Credit Karma gives me both scores and with more detail than I was getting from Mint.

Can I recommend The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck? It’s historical fiction.

It’s a glimpse into life back then; focusing mostly on the affects of the dust bowl and how hard it was to find proper work. While not nonfiction, it may give you some ideas of specific things you can research more, like crop rotation and Hoovervilles/shantytowns.

Side note: I always think of the Great Depression when an appliance breaks. My history teacher said one of the causes was that things were built to last back then. When they say, “they don’t make them like they used to” it’s 100% correct. Now we make things with a shorter lifespan on purpose because, when things last forever, we don’t buy new ones.

Fantastic movie. Amazing use of slow motion.

Thank you for the update. I appreciate your efforts in moderating and keeping us informed.

Some of those little kool-aid squirters and you’re good to go

Washing dishes

The one the restaurants use and the copyrighted one that families use.

Restaurant: “happy happy birthday from all of us to you. We wish it was our birthday so we could party too! Hey!”

Family/copyright: “happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, -name-. Happy birthday to you.”

Reminds me of:

I’m using Memmy and there’s an option in the settings to block a specific instance or an instance with key words.

You’re talking too much. “No” is a complete sentence. If you give reasons why, you give them a line up of things to argue with.

If they demand reasons, you just reiterate yourself. “It isn’t something I’m going to do.”

If you want to be nice about it, you could help them brainstorm alternatives. If they’re being jerks, change the conversation or leave.

Most houses that you build yourself usually flow with the land.

Houses corporations build are for profit and usually come with more destruction for the environment.

I was at the giant copper mine outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. In the tour, they said, to appease conservationists, they basically relocate the mountain as they dig and add vegetation. So, the mountainous area that surrounds the mine is all man-made. Nature didn’t erode the rocks or push them up even though mountains are considered purely natural. It doesn’t really follow a beaver creating a new river because it built a dam either because it didn’t divert anything; it simply pushed it out of the way.

Man made = interfering with nature for profit. Natural = interference in nature for comfort.

Side note: I can’t help but picture a cartoon style in my head of a fat business tycoon with a shovel, yelling at the Lorax, “We’re putting it back!”

I hope she took snapshots and told the ethics board. Time to nuke that career before it really starts.

Muriel would never let Eustace leave the yard so dirty!

“What do you mean this password is too short? I use it for everything!”

It’s the Winchester method. Tragedy, your death, become a ghost, recruit others to the angry spirit world, get hunted by Sam and Dean.

Circle of afterlife.

Same. Although it’s heartbreaking when the boy reaches the posting cap and I’m left on a cliffhanger. I’d rather not give Reddit the traffic if I can help it.

An art project called r/place is active again. Basically, it’s a giant white canvas and users can change the color of one pixel every X amount of minutes.

Since we left Reddit, the community is torn between returning to post something in protest or staying away and refusing them traffic to protest. A suggestion there is to simply watch the twitch/YouTube streams of people who are there.

Some suggestions: “join-lemmy.org”, “API”, “Fuck u/spez”. There’s currently a French flag with a guillotine about to chop the head off a Snoo with u/spez as it’s blindfold. There is also clap back. Bots or the moderators are actively blocking pieces of protest with checkerboard patterns.

I hope this answers your question.

Nice! Thanks!
