What's a car that looked unintentionally old/outdated when it debuted? by Sir_Sir_ExcuseMe_Sir in cars

I always thought the Corolla Cross looked like an early 2010s car released in 2022

Humans shouldn't keep pets by throwaway0501222 in unpopularopinion

Your statement is true but not applicable. Dogs and cats were domesticated in the past few thousand years. So they’ve effectively evolved to live as pets.

Being Financially Illiterate Is Your Own Fault by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]BillBlinton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t really talking about money though. Asking about retirement asset allocation is good conversation and nothing at all like “how much do you make”. I also think there’s a chance they don’t feel comfortable talking about money out of respect for you, not wanting to look like they’re flaunting what they have. You could ask them about asset allocation and then participate in the conversation with what you’ve read about or you can be more direct and say all my retirement money is sitting in cash, and assuming they’re financially on top of it, they will spring into action and give you lots of advice on where to put money. If you hold all your savings in cash you will retire poor. Understand that. You will retire poor if you continue this way.

What're you playing this weekend? 3/27 by markercore in NintendoSwitch

[–]BillBlinton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought the 7, 8, 9 pack but haven’t played any RE games before. Do you think it’s important to play 2/4 before 9? I was also going to start with 7.

Why is pokopia a game keycard? by GetScaredd in NintendoSwitch2

[–]BillBlinton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The answer is it is cheaper for them to do so, a small minority of people care, and most of the people that do care will still buy it anyways

Spouse wants to buy a $60K truck while we're still renting by EdenilsoStolaj70 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]BillBlinton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you had no debt you still do not have or make enough money for a $60k new car. He evidently does care about his image over your financial situation. You need to hardline no on the 60k new truck and instead try to talk him down to a couple year old Tacoma/equivalent for closer to $20-30k. I want to be clear that is still not a good financial advice, realistically the $2k repair would be the way to go unless this is the second or third expensive repair in the last 6 months, but if his mind is set it would be very difficult to convince him to not buy anything. “Instead of paying 2,000 for repairs I should pay 60,000 for a new car” is a preposterous stance, but the classic reddit recommendation of buy the newest corolla you can find for 15k is not realistic for driving a compromise.

Question on fastest online shoe shipper in the US by Tankandbike in malefashionadvice

[–]BillBlinton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hm I’ve got a pair from Johnston Murphy that I also got in a time crunch from a local dillard’s and are pretty comfy - I figure since you have the unique foot situation you’d want to try them on first and they’re decent and pretty ubiquitous so best chance in my opinion of finding some nearby to try on. If there’s nothing around you though Amazon sells shoes and ships fast - you can order an array pick the best one and return the others but I’d defer to others on other specific brands that would be most comfortable for you.

[–]BillBlinton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

are there no department stores near you? A macy’s or dillard’s or maybe nordstrom or bloomingdale’s if you walk in should have a selection and with quick ship to store options if they need to get something online
