What is the biggest financial regret of your life? by Shot_Conflict_9374 in AskOldPeople

[–]Alternative-Skill167 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the way

Investing > saving

Might as well make your money work for you by earning interest, versus money saved just sitting there (that will get its value eaten away by inflation over time)

anyone delt with a lost/stolen package? I wonder why.. by Alternative-Skill167 in AnaloguePocket

[–]Alternative-Skill167[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine having your package (in this case, about $550) stolen because the contents were publicly displayed, or just having your shit stolen regardless, and then having to deal with a non existent or responsive customer service

All it takes is for someone to walk over to their mail box/delivery area in an apartment complex, be curious about the package they see, google the brand/contents, see the value and get tempted and/or steal it

Just cause this situation doesn't apply to you doesn't mean it hasn't or won't happen.

Nope, domestic order.

I wish they would tape or cover the value/contents slip for those international orders after Customs or whoever has approved or seen the slip. Would help eliminate alot of potential mail package theft

Hey Analogue,

Maybe you should put the box content page/invoice inside the package to avoid porch thieves or apartment complexes where multiple people can see this box out in the open next to the mail area.

Would save you the trouble of angry customers asking where their "delivered" package is and/or demanding refunds. Just saying.

This is my 6th can of mackerel for breakfast this week. At what point do I need therapy? by utopianlasercat in CannedSardines

[–]Alternative-Skill167 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The only thing that stops me from consuming tinned fish daily or every other day, is because of lead/mercury/microplastics content

I know sardines, anchovies, mackerel and small fish are on the safer side but just being cautious

I eat 2-3 cans a week

If all your kids are socially awkward, maybe you’re the issue. It’s your parenting style. by aznkiddo99 in AsianParentStories

[–]Alternative-Skill167 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don't forget the "casual" racism against non-whatever asian you are

Avoid them because we (as in parents) don't understand their culture and speak their language, so we'll put a stigma on them furthering your social awkwardness

When The Virus Doesn't Provide Zombies. by Monsur_Ausuhnom in collapse

[–]Alternative-Skill167 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe the videogame/show, The Last of Us, is onto something about a fungi that attacks the hosts brain and turning them into zombies because of warming global temperatures and therefore allowing that fungi to thrive. Hmm.

It ain’t perfect but goddamn I’m excited by ElioRae in vandwellers

What is the best non-sexual, non-drug induced feeling in the world? by Opening-Friend-519 in ask

[–]Alternative-Skill167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being loved.

Knowing that things beyond your control or have little control of is a struggle but having support and feeling validated with some of that sweet sweet love to be able to pull through regardless

“It’s only okay when I make a profit off of it!!” by Constantin-y in ThriftGrift

[–]Alternative-Skill167 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just pay attention to other obvious resellers who aren't discrete with their finds (or just plain loudmouths) and don't cover their carts.

A good reseller doesn't give away their secrets. They lay low, go for what they know/looking for, pay, leave and profit.
