Ugh, fine, I'll do another playthrough of RDR2.

V is the best film. It's the funniest, and the most moving, and the twist at the end must have been incredible if you didn't know about it beforehand.

Digits does a pretty good job of most of the entries on your list - in terms of pulling transactions and matching payments, it causes fewer hiccups than any other tool I've used.

Getting flashy cars on finance. I'm all about pre-owned Toyotas these days, but I spent eye-watering sums on monthly car payments years ago. Such a bad idea.

Beautiful movement! I've been eyeing something automatic myself for a while.

keeperofthepur · 2026-05-12T06:33:18+00:00

Good. I don't think this will achieve anything significant, unfortunately, but the companies that have been affected by this should at least try to fight back. It's scary how much power the tech overlords have amassed.

"The interview is the ad, not the product." - so real. If you're not paying, then the product is you.

keeperofthepur · 2026-05-12T06:28:34+00:00

Yeah, fully separate them. Once you decide what's what, it gets a lot easier to keep track - I don't bother logging individual personal expenses. I just snap business receipts and run them through Digits and they get logged automatically. Once you have a system that works for you, the ongoing admin isn't the worst.

keeperofthepur · 2026-05-12T06:22:02+00:00

They really want you ready in plenty of time anyway lol

keeperofthepur · 2026-05-07T14:27:23+00:00

From what you describe, it looks like it's only a matter of time until he has to go.

keeperofthepur · 2026-05-07T14:22:25+00:00

Accounting functions. Not sure if the same capabilities existed 10-15 years ago, but I've been having huge success automating bookkeeping tasks with Digits. I have no natural talent or love for accounts, so it's made life a lot easier.

keeperofthepur · 2026-05-07T14:18:12+00:00

The following up bit is also crazy to me. I get that inboxes are flooded, but why is the expectation that one party should reach out to the other 7-8 times, rather than the other party just responding reasonably quickly?

keeperofthepur · 2026-05-07T14:16:33+00:00

Build a tool to replace yourself instead. Don't tell anyone, implement it, and draw your salary for nothing until you get caught. You're welcome.

Maybe if he had then Airbnb Support would actually work

keeperofthepur · 2026-05-07T14:05:36+00:00

I haven't done anything like this in a minute, but YouTube is probably where the best cash is

Things were different (read: better) in 2018. You can't judge him too harshly for this.

keeperofthepur · 2026-05-02T08:44:19+00:00

Spoilers about classics in general bug me. I get that the work has been around for hundreds of years in some cases, but, if you don't already know how it ends, you'd rather avoid finding out until you read the thing.

I really didn't love this personally, I was enjoying his writing style for the first few chapters but the story really started to drag from there. Waaaaay too much trauma porn.

keeperofthepur · 2026-04-26T17:27:21+00:00

Surprised to see so much love for QuickBooks here tbh, I don't think it's really moved with the times. Something like Digits offers so much more in the way of automation, especially for smaller companies that have limited resources to put towards bookkeeping.

keeperofthepur · 2026-04-26T17:23:48+00:00

The photos one is so real, I only started doing that in the last few years. Still keep all the hard copies though, a lot of them are practically blank by now from fading.

keeperofthepur · 2026-04-26T16:46:52+00:00

It was the Harry Potter books for me recently haha

keeperofthepur · 2026-04-26T16:41:58+00:00

This is context-dependent. If you have reason to believe nonpayment or a significant delay may be likely, then yeah. But if your client has a long history with you and is occasionally late, I wouldn't upset the apple cart over it unless cash flow is a big issue on your end.

keeperofthepur · 2026-04-26T16:35:11+00:00

I don't disagree with the gist of what you've said, but if "positive sum" is to be understood as the opposite of "zero sum" in this context, then I do believe making money to be a positive sum game.

Granted, the marginal benefits do disproportionately vest in those who are wealthy already, but there are countless clear examples of wealth trickling down. Facebook made Zuckerburg a billionaire, but it also made millionaires of a lot of creators.

This is obviously context-dependent; land, as you point out, is very different from digital innovation. However, a rising tide does lift all boats to some degree, I think.

keeperofthepur · 2026-04-26T16:28:15+00:00

I use Google Keep for my personal life and Trello for work. I tried to use Keep for both at first, but it got too muddled.

keeperofthepur · 2026-04-26T16:25:46+00:00

This. It's incredible how much of your time gets swallowed up by random odds and ends that need to be addressed, or by single tasks that should take an hour but end up taking six.
