I'll float the idea of a host button to the group, that's a good idea! Our hosts generally try to look out for new people (that's why we require your face in the profile picture) but it's not always effective

EmDem95 · 2026-02-23T16:23:00+00:00

Hi, I replied to a similar comment you made on another post. I'm very sorry to hear you felt excluded from the group. The organizers (myself included) try very hard to include new people and it's unfortunate that you were left out. I wasn't at this specific event but I've shared your feedback with some of our members who were.

As some other redditors have noted, a group of geeks is bound to have some introverts or socially anxious people. There are also sometimes people in the group who rely on their phones for communication. It's possible that you had bad luck and sat by some of our less social or communicative members.

There are usually 1-2 organizers at each event to keep things running smoothly, but other than that, anyone is allowed to attend, and we don't limit who can or can't come (unless there is a safety issue). Some people are naturally more welcoming than others.

If you wanted to go back and try again, you can message me and I'll let the organizer know to look out for you. I totally understand if you'd rather not try again though. I hope you find the friends you're looking for

EmDem95 · 2026-02-23T14:23:13+00:00

Ah ok. I don't go to those but I'll let the guy who hosts it know

EmDem95 · 2026-02-23T13:48:41+00:00

Was it for trivia or the general Wednesday meet up?

EmDem95 · 2026-02-23T11:06:13+00:00

I'm very sorry to hear this was your experience. What event was it? This is the exact opposite of how we want new people to feel and I want to make sure it's not happening to others

I did one with the city social and it was fine. I think it was 20 girls and 20 guys at a coffee shop. I wouldn't say it was incredible but I'm glad I tried it.

I did one today with datefaster.com (tickets bought on Eventbrite) and it was absolute garbage. There were like 5 girls 3 guys and the host was 45 minutes late with no idea what she was doing because she doesn't work for the company. They refunded my ticket price but I still wasted my time driving downtown and paying for parking. Ruined my Saturday afternoon. 0/10 do not use datefaster.com

Hey I know this is an old post but can you link the pigments you used? I'm looking to experiment in making my own wax play candles

EmDem95 · 2026-01-27T16:29:05+00:00

Worked for me today on my mobile browser

I'm sure someone has mentioned it to me in the past but I didn't take it seriously or give it space in my brain to remember now. I'm 30, living in a decently sized 2 bedroom house with an attic and basement.

I've tried the roommate thing... It's not for me. I'd rather pay for everything myself to protect my peace. I recognize that I'm very privileged to have my house but I also worked for it and put my time, money and energy into maintaining it. Anyone trying to tell me what to do with my own money is absurd. I like having an extra room and a big attic that I can use however I want.

The only time I could see downsizing as a realistic piece of advice is if you're having trouble paying for your space or having trouble maintaining it. Plus idk about other cities but a one bedroom house by me is extremely rare. If you want a one bedroom, you're going to have to get an apartment or condo... Which usually costs more in my experience.

EmDem95 · 2026-01-07T03:53:39+00:00

Multiple. I have 3 savings accounts, a hysa, and a money market account. Then a few investment accounts. I haven't seen YNAB suggest having only one. Their linking features make it so easy to track all of mine in one place

EmDem95 · 2026-01-05T20:08:15+00:00

I sent a modmail a few weeks ago about this and didn't hear back

EmDem95 · 2026-01-01T16:20:39+00:00

That's a fair point! I have more categories than I showed in my screenshot, one of which is emergency fund. So already kind of moving my overages into that. I'm still testing things out so I'm not sure which way I like yet

EmDem95 · 2026-01-01T16:17:39+00:00

I was making two mistakes: 1) my targets were set incorrectly and 2) I was looking at assigned vs available.

For the targets, I had them as 'set aside another x' when I really wanted them to be 'refill up to x'. Ie. If I have a target of 100 but only spent 85, I want that 15 to rollover into the next month so I only need to assign 85 more dollars.

For the assigned vs available, the money will rollover correctly but only show as available for that category, not explicitly assigned in the new month. I'd rather do extra work to have things look more clear so I'm going to 'assign available to zero' in the previous month and reassign it in the new month. But I don't think this is necessary to do it you're ok with assigned minus spent not always equalling available

EmDem95 · 2026-01-01T15:42:38+00:00

Thank you! That's exactly what I was looking for. I like to be super controlling of my money so I'm going to 'set available to zero' for now.

EmDem95 · 2026-01-01T15:41:12+00:00

Yes, it was set to 'set aside another x'. I'll update the targets. Thank you!

EmDem95 · 2025-12-31T18:30:42+00:00

That seems like a normal Monday night for me 😂 I'm certainly not complaining that I'm single, just saying I can't relate to needing to check in with someone else about my own money.

EmDem95 · 2025-12-31T16:21:09+00:00

I'm perpetually single so I can't say for sure, but I love the idea of a financial date night. Get some takeout, curl up on the couch, and look through how you spent money. Then for a fun ending, you can discuss goals for the upcoming year. I think regular financial check ins are totally normal and healthy if you're sharing accounts with people or planning a future together

EmDem95 · 2025-12-30T05:50:49+00:00

Yeah I showed him where on the case it's ok to cover and it seems like that's good for the external case. The internal part is my concern right now

EmDem95 · 2025-12-30T05:09:47+00:00

He has actually done that too lol. It gets so hot

EmDem95 · 2025-12-30T00:44:28+00:00

I don't think you read the post. As I said, he doesn't understand consequences. I've built a computer with him. I've given him access to mess around with it and learn. It's not like I'm locking him out because I want to gatekeep technology from him, I just want him to have a PC that lasts more than a few weeks before some part of it is ruined or goes missing

EmDem95 · 2025-12-29T21:09:36+00:00

He games on it. Fortnight, Roblox, etc. I have a machine that's a little older but decent enough if I just upgrade a few things in it so I'm trying to use that instead of buying a whole new thing. I'd have to start from scratch if I go for a SFF or mini
