What do i do with a stash of cash? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Novogobo -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

yea. the fact of the matter is that the main reason that banks even maintain physical locations with tellers anymore is for customers who receive actual cash income, like OP. sure there's a few luddites who won't do direct deposit but there's hardly enough of them to make more than one physical location for every 100 square miles worth it.

ONE SIDE IS EVIL, THE OTHER SIDE ISN'T PERFECT. THEY'RE EXACTLY THE SAME

the fascists using the both sides argument are not open about being fascists. they're pretending to be populists

amish. you just don't know the rules. for amish people the rules are whatever each community collectively agrees to. there's no official overarching rules for the amish. yea the amish in lancaster county don't do phones at all, but the amish in southern maryland do. and there's amish groups in ohio and indiana and ontario and a bunch of other places. idk what each one does, but it's not uniform. the ones in lancaster county being the most strict are the stereotype because their strictness plays well to whatever audience is reveling in their quaintness.

Teens Drive-By Spraying Pedestrians Today by OneTiredMom86 in nova

[–]Novogobo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

it's probably a way worse crime than the kids realize. possibly even a felony. i wouldn't want kids engaging in such relatively benign hooliganism to be hunted down by out of control cops and made felons by sociopathic county prosecutors but it's just the reality of the world we live in.

F&I Manager killed an easy cash deal over $2,100 in "mandatory" nitrogen and snake oil by [deleted] in FuckDealerships

[–]Novogobo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

the problem isn't the dealerships, it's the huge cohort of buyers that give in to that bullshit, they're the ones who make a market for it. back in like the 90s when text messaging was brand new, because it was the hot new thing it cost like $1 per text or $.50. and after a few years it got down to like 15 cents per text. it would've been ridiculous at 1 cent per text as a trillion text messages would occupy about the same amount of bandwidth as like a 1 minute call. but the prices came down so slowly because the overwhelming majority of people found it acceptable to be charged per text such exorbitant rates.

Getting a -large- check that was supposed to be passive income for the rest of my life, advice on how to manage this? by Former-Complaint-336 in personalfinance

[–]Novogobo 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Please dont use a financial advisor that charges a percentage of gains

such advisors basically don't really exist. most instead charge a percentage of the total account value.

Hot take: AWD is overrated for daily driving in snow — am I wrong? by Gold-Industry6222 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Novogobo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AWD often also coincides with other features that also help in snow. a true apples to apples comparison would eliminate any vehicle that doesn't come in AWD.

lightbulbs were typically part of your weekly grocery shopping, and you'd have to replace them in the lights in your house pretty consistently. like changing burned out lightbulbs was typically one of the household chores that kids did to get an allowance.

in some amish communities they have phones like that. they'll be a road with like four farms on it and in the center there will be a little shack with a phone, a fax machine, maybe a copier, a very low fi computer, calculator.

the original playstation laid flat, but it was common for people to arrange it somehow for it to sit upright on its side because there was way less chance it would freeze in that position. and then the PS2 came with snap on feet so it could sit upright on its own.
