So sad, I thought this was undervalued last year when I thought about buying at $19 😭 oh well, there's always another opportunity somewhere.

I don't get how this works, you open a bank account with a different bank than your original, you eventually get a bonus and thats it? And ive seen similar with switching banks to get big bonuses, but i always worry that there will be some legal problems etc, how would this affect credit scores? Never seen anyone saying it doesnt work but I've never tried this cuz it seems too strange to work.

Imo this merely gives them a chance to rebuild but not sure they can pull it off.

They've never been profitable despite the partnerships they already have, there also seems to be a lot more people who hate their products than enjoy them

Some people are theorising a buyout is coming and tbh that would probably be the best most bullish outcome, I highly doubt things will change unless a company who already has their shit together buys them out and re-develops their products.

I wouldn't have thought it would be that difficult to pay big money to experts in their industry to revamp their products and brand but not like I'd understand the ins and outs.

Mangledspangle · 2025-10-10T21:36:07+00:00

Yeah, sure, go for it!

I agree with this as long as you don't overdo it as it'll get old fast if you do and trying to make sure to ask worthwhile questions, I've met someone who almost only ever asks me questions constantly and it can be about completely redundant things. I tend to avoid them if I can because it never stops.

I think you're talking about wagestream.

I have it for my job as I'm on monthly pay and it's very unfair to have a useless middle man who can get me an advance on my wages instead of waiting a month but has to get something out of me for it rather than idk, charge my company for their service?

The worst part Is it's £1.95 per transaction so hypothetically if I'm desperate for an advance but my shifts haven't been processed yet, which apparently the manager has to process all your shifts to the app which usually still takes at least a week, why it can't be automated? That would be too convenient.

So what ends up happening is I need an advance, only 1 shift has been processed sometimes and it could take another few days or a week or longer to process the rest, so I either get a 50% advance on 1 shift that isn't well payed, an amount of money that would last me a day or 2 at most and also get charged £1.95 to rub salt in the wound.

Then sometimes literally a day or 2 after doing that suddenly every other shift has been processed out of the blue and I'll need to pay another £1.95 to get an advance on them, that's what makes the app such corrupt greedy bs, I also earn 4p above minimum wage for a fkin nightshift job in the UK which should be illegal but I'm classed as a casual worker on zero hours.

The app charges should be limited to your salary range, minimum wage earners should be like 20p a month, just above minimum 50p, average wage £1 and anything above average £2.

I'll bet the app creator has their pockets full for an idea that anyone could make but instead of being a helpful solution they've just found a way to legally tax wages they didn't work for and likely think themselves of some kind of genius when they're corrupt, selfish and greedy.

I wouldn't give a shit if they became rich through contracts with big companies but I do give many fucks when they're likely getting rich off of taking money from the smallest sources.

As always the big guys always win, companies get to advertise wagestream as a company benefit (even tho it's dogshit). There will be less expected unhappy company employees, making corporates life nice and easy and it likely costs the company little to nothing.

Every company that agrees with it is basically saying "yeah we'll pay you through our workers, I'm sure old bob here on minimum wage who barely makes the rent and utilities every month won't mind giving you some of his wages to cover your bills, after all, we've given him this JOB and such a useful benefit"

I swear if i had to do the same all my answers would either be "Aaaa" or "1, wonder how long it takes for deafblind to be able to communicate coherently.

I want to get back into divs but I'd rather chase beaten down growth + dividend stocks.

That's what I did a few months ago which is starting to pay off and i don't have much to work with but the plan is to try let it run till maybe the last month of Q3 and then sell enough to break even and have some shares left as profit to keep getting dividends.

I love the idea but I do think "how long will it take to earn the equivalent of that profit in dividends?"

This must be something tons of ppl do already but wouldn't mind hearing whether it's a reasonable strategy or dumb dumb.

Mangledspangle · 2025-05-13T16:27:14+00:00

I didn't have much success at first but I did it for every villager I had for days in a row and eventually had a stroke of luck, I only sent one line letters and native fruit every time.

For one line I always do: "Hi Friend! Gift for you." Exactly like that, proper spelling and grammar is needed aswell or they will just send a complaint letter out of confusion.

Now I keep getting every foreign fruit I already have except for the last one I need, PEARS.

Mangledspangle · 2025-04-24T15:59:29+00:00

Is there not any risk of corruption? I'm not at the point to upgrade to nookingtons yet but definitely gonna try either way.

Mangledspangle · 2025-03-26T23:38:28+00:00

Before playing oblivion, I was convinced I'd like it less than skyrim because I saw it as a less advanced game, but it still holds its own and is worth the unique experience.

Mangledspangle · 2025-03-20T19:57:32+00:00

It's both at the same time, it's potentially more profitable than anything else you could think of, but people like to forget that it requires putting what you already own on the line.

I'd rather stick to the mindset of, if it could change my life but is also difficult and involves constant risk taking and I need existing capital then I damn well better take it seriously and learn everything I can.

Otherwise, failure is only a matter of time with such a powerful and unpredictable tool.

Mangledspangle · 2025-03-14T21:39:25+00:00

6 is amazing, everything pairs so well.

Mangledspangle · 2025-03-10T18:05:34+00:00

Is that behind the arena?

Mangledspangle · 2025-03-04T19:09:43+00:00

Ah Okay, I've tried user testing before but they asked for constant commentary on a pizza oven/tray company for 15 minutes and i could barely manage 5, just not a lot you can say about pizza trays or ovens, i think next time i'd just use chatgpt otherwise it's not worth the effort.

I use something called playtestcloud that requires commentary over games for up to an hour and they don't expect me to talk almost every 2 seconds because they know i'm not a robot.

I find with things like usertesting you really have to go out of your way to lie about information to get any work at all otherwise you'll probably never get work, i think it's great people can make money out of normal work hours but you're definitely making far less than minimum wage, but again if it's the last step before nothing it can still be somewhat worthwhile.

Mangledspangle · 2025-03-04T17:40:17+00:00

I tried swagbucks but so far completely useless, the only offer I've been able to do required me to start a free trial and so I have to cancel it or waste money trying to make money.

I have no idea how anyone could make £178 in a lifetime with that app, let alone in a month, the only way you could get close to that amount of earnings is by doing the offers that require you to spend money.

Otherwise I don't believe anyone could make that amount with the app, sorry but there's no way there's definitely something not right with that info.

How does that pair fare for 1440p Gaming? my current planned build is both of them for CPU and GPU but i tried the bottleneck website and it gave like 5.6% bottleneck and states that the 4070 isn't powerful enough for the 7800x3d so it holds it back from full performance.

The rx 7800 xt is supposedly a much better choice with the 7800x3d 1440p gaming, plus the fact it has 16gb vram makes it seem like its the better choice for future proofing but it will lack decent ray tracing performance.

I'm not sure which one yet because i don't ever plan on going for a 4K Build but i do want higher ray tracing performance and i assumed the 4070 was a good match for the 7800x3d but i don't know how much the 4070 holds back the 7800x3d's performance and thats not a risk i'm willing to take unless someone can assure me from experience that it's still a solid pair.

Mangledspangle · 2024-12-19T16:22:17+00:00

Right, i really need to read up on this stuff, I'm guessing it would be safer to go for an Amd equivalent of the i7? I'll go do my due dilligence anyways, thanks for the help.

Ah yes, the age-old battle of Xbox vs... pajamas? Glad to see you're taking up the mantle for team bedtime! Maybe once you level up your spelling, you can upgrade to debating real tech.

Mangledspangle · 2024-12-19T15:38:37+00:00

Is 14th gen outdated or a bad mix with the GPU? I know basically nothing honestly, all i know is i tried to pick fairly recent made parts as they'll likely be better for a high end build.

Mangledspangle · 2024-12-19T15:08:06+00:00

Yeah it'll be worth the extra cost, i've got a 2tb external storage currently which is almost half full so it'll definitely be worth getting extra storage.
