Nah brah. It’s a basic life skill everyone should know. Like reading a map. You may not do it as much anymore, but it’s a basic thing you should know.
Maps. LOL.
Yea, maps are something no one uses. But everyone should know how to. Just in case. You never when you’ll be in a situation where your phone doesn’t work and you don’t know where you are.
I also had to learn to how use maps and a map book when I was a dispatcher. Google maps doesn’t tell you police jurisdiction.
I don’t think I’ve mailed a bill since like 2009. But I do mail thank you cards, birthday cards, care packages, postcards, just random hellos, etc.
You guys know you can mail other things than bills, right?
I don't know what to say, but do people pay their landlords digitally now?
Because basically my landlord refuses and I have checks now only to pay my rent. Which is annoying as fuck.
We live in a complex and pay our rent online now, but when we first moved to Macon, we rented a house and the landlord would only take payments by check, and I hated it. There are so many easy ways to take payments online now, it seems like it would be easier on them to not have to deal with checks.

In my firs place in college the online payment was so shit I just wrote checks and walked them down there myself. Thankfully it was only one building so it wasn't much of a problem.
The only thing I pay with checks is the water bill. The place to pay it is on our street so I just drop it through the slot in the door. I was paying the woman that cuts my hair with checks but she has cashapp now.
It used to be the only thing I used checks for were rent and taxes (and whatever else randomly requires it). Now I get checks cut for free from BoA for rent as part of the bill pay system. They automatically cut the check and it arrives in his mailbox on the 1st. I'm down to writing 1-3 checks a year.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
I haven’t even owned a chequebook in the almost 7 years since I moved back to Australia. Literally everything is through BSB and acct no. on the rare occasions when I can’t use cash or credit.
And speaking of making easier payments, y’all need to get on our PayWave level. Fuck swiping a card and signing... just tap and go.
Problem here is usually cost-incentive - A lot of places have systems now that allow for it, but most of us aren't used to it or different systems are being sold at different prices to different people. I know a bunch of bodegas around here who don't change their systems because it's cost prohibitive (they are being marked up by the companies, and recently they have passed along that cost to the consumer by adding a 5% transaction tax in a bunch of these places if use your cards).
It's like asking a large, disparate group of people to switch over to tap services run by large corporations; and only certain people have the knowledge or gain the benefit of how to switch out of the payment services they have.
last week was fall break for my kids (boy, 2. girl, 7). we took them to CA and did a day at disneyland. We didn't tell them we were going to do Disney, we kept it a surprise. Day of, we told the older one we were going to the "bean factory" (she hates hates hates beans). Despite playing this classic 90's song on repeat for the final stretch
and her seeing all the street signs that said "Disneyland parking" etc. she still didn't pick up on the fact that we were going. She was so trusting in us that we were going to the bean factory, she never even entertained the idea we were going to Disneyland, and even asked "can we maybe go to disneyland tomorrow? if it's not too far away?" When asked if she was excited about the bean factory, even though she didn't like beans, she replied "well, I'm kinda interested in seeing how they are made. but I don't want to try any."
It wasn't until we were literally walking into Disneyland and she got a mickey mouse sticker that it finally clicked we were actually going to disneyland. She had a great time and loved everything about it, but mrs. snowman and I felt really bad for quite a bit afterwards - the big surprise sorta totally backfired and we basically just exploited our child's unwavering, complete trust in us, and she swallowed her disappointment in going to the "bean factory" without complaining or anything.
I just figured out that Fleetwood Mac plays a song called "Rhiannon" and not "Briana". Playing off of Snowman's post, I only thought it was Briana because my dad told me it was 20+ years ago on a car ride and I never questioned it.

Today mark 104(5?) days without pot. I didn't think when I started that it would be as easy or as hard as it's been, but I'm making it work. I appreciate what you all said when I posted about this last, your support was meaningful beyond words. Im 15 lbs lighter, my skin is better, my sleep is better and the dreams I have are out of this world. Lucid dreaming is nuts.
Does everyone just keep their phone on silent now? A couple things recently are leading me to believe that societal norms have shifted and I'm the odd one for usually having my ringer on when I'm not at work. I think brain just hasn't downloaded the latest update of "society" yet.

I don't intend for it but I tend to leave it on silent (except for alarm) overnight and then when I go to work it's usually on silent and sometimes on vibrate. I leave it face-up on my desk and can see a flashing light notification if something is coming in. Then I will tend to leave it on silent after I get home simply because I forget that it was on silent. I miss a lot of calls from 6-10 pm.
ITM out here getting all those evening calls. I see you homie. Get it.
Yes. That is what I meant. Not that I just miss a majority of my evening calls. It's that I get so many calls and I miss a bunch of them. Let's say that's what it was.

I haven't intentionally heard my ringer in years. One of the first things I do when I get a new phone is turn the sound off.
Last year my wife got fed up with me not answering texts so she got me a fancy watch. Jokes on her. I turned the sound off that, too. Now I can ignore her in two places at the same time.

My phone is on vibrate pretty much all the time. I only turn the ringer on at bed as texts won't wake me up, and if someone is going to call me at 3am, I feel it would probably be pretty important.

I switch between on and off, with the sound mostly off. I turn the ringer on when I’m in the car so I’ll know if I get a text (which I only “read” and respond to using Siri/Bluetooth/whatever it is that lets my car read my texts to me, of course).

My phone has had the ringer turned off since August 16, 2005. On that fateful day, I walked into the political science department at UT and, as a new grad student, met with the department chair to get an advisor signed. As soon as we started talking, my phone started blurting "Shake ya ass, WATCH yourself!" It's been on silent ever since, and I dropped out of my Ph.D. program.
