Like that, but for Snapchat. It's geotagged so it's not available for just anyone to clain they were at your party, just people inside the 20k-square-foot exclusivity zone.

Wait until you have kids and they want custom Snapchat filters for their birthday parties. At least it's cheap and you could upload FiestaCat if you want to.

I kind of want to get a snapchat filter for my apartment now. $70 for 2 weekends, I would do that for the hell of it.

That sounds like an amazing thing to do with a friends wedding. Or a complete stranger's.

And gently caress Snapchat in general. The bro dude owners have bragged about reviewing private pics and they think they've got rights to everything on your device when you install the app. Screw that. When my embarrassing photos get leaked, I want it to be the old fashioned way: revenge porn.

The hardware and software technology advancements during my formative years were seemingly a lot more significant if now the big advancements are software bullshit like filters.

I know I'm over 30, which makes me old and out of touch, by what the gently caress is a geofenced time-expiring Snapchat filter, and why would someone want that? Edit: didn't realize I waa at the end of the page. Also, agreed that I don't get what Snapchat is even for aside from sending nudes. I've also never seen a fidget spinner.

Basically it's a filter that labels snap chat images taken in a certain location. So if you're throwing a concert it's advertising for your venue or the event. Businesses have them a lot now.

Yeah, I missed the part where apparently Snapchat pictures don't delete themselves anymore. Wasn't that its whole thing?

There were other key design choices in Snapchat, but ephemerality was the initial cornerstone, yes.

Pretty much everyone in my office uses snapchat. I don't but that's because I'm boring as hell and I don't really care about yet another way to see their food pictures.

So what does Snapchat do that Instagram (which I also don't use) didn't already do?

Apparently all the girls have moved to insta, that's really all you need to know about snap's future. Like seriously that's it end of story, you don't need to google the financials or whatever.

There's a sucker born every minute. https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/6feap6/was_recently_scammed_and_i_am_curious_as_to_what/ quote:Hi PF! I did something kinda dumb a few days ago. I responded to an online job interview, and they proceeded to hire me. They then sent me a check for $1,850 and told me it was for equipment for my home office. They said it would be explained to me on the following day, just deposit the check into my account. So I did. The next day comes, and they tell me to withdraw the cash and take it to a Walmart for a Walmart2Walmart transfer. My "boss" gave me the contact info of someone to send the money to, telling me that I am sending it to a vendor and that the vendor will buy the equipment and send it to me. I honestly should have picked up on this earlier but I didn't. So, an hour after I try to make the transfer Walmart calls me and says the money is on hold because the situation seemed similar to a lot of scams going on and they explained everything to me. I asked them what I should do with the money, they said it's up to my bank. I called my bank and no one was able to give me a straight answer. The money is still at Walmart and I have 10 days from when I initially brought it to pick it up. PF, what do I do?

All the girls in the 404 still Snap. They Instagram too, but they don't Facebook. That's for losers. 22 Eargesplitten posted:So what does Snapchat do that Instagram (which I also don't use) didn't already do? Instagram keeps copying Snapchat. They now have stickers, which I guess is similar to the geotags. They also have a version of Snapchat Stories. Everything Snap does Instagram copies and the Instagram versions are actually more popular, so I don't know whether Snap is going to make it. They probably should have taken the 6 billion Facebook offered.

Slightly different type of BWM. https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/6fcp4e/financial_transition_where_to_invest_only_asset/ quote:A family of 3, dad was an uber driver but stopped working due to health problems. I'm in college younger one in school. Recently sold our house, after expense/debt payments, we're left with 200k in cash. Good luck with that.

Everything I can think of that would guarantee that ROI would be illegal as all hell.

Heard from a guy at work today that he wants to get a horse. Apparently they only cost "a couple hundred bucks a month in upkeep." He lives in the city on a half acre lot. He didn't mention where he was going to put the horse.

My GF and I use mostly it to send goofy pics between our kids, or "is this the type of shampoo you meant?" messages that don't need to live forever in our photo collections. Our daughters just save local copies of pics/videos with filters to send to their parents or friends via other channels.

Barry posted:Slightly different type of BWM. Of course the guy who posted that comments on pissing videos on gonewild. I just don't know if I can handle reality anymore, it's getting too weird. Edit: Even more hilarious is the real story behind the latest personalfinance post (assuming its real), his dad is leaving the country to retire and is giving his kid this 200k, and he is trying to figure out a way to make 25k-35k a year in return so he can just live for free basically.

My friend and her boyfriend (of less than 2 years) decided to buy a house together. They put an offer in and got a house for $382,000. There was about 6 weeks between this and the actual closing on the house. During this period, they broke up because the boyfriend's ex had recently become single and she was the girl of his dreams. The ex indicated that she was sad that they hadn't worked out and wished they could have given it another shot. My friend's boyfriend dumped her to pursue his true love. They would have lost about 11k if they decided to walk away from the house. Instead, they are buying the house and moving in together after breaking up. Neither of them can afford to pay their half of the mortgage and rent on their own and neither of them want to sell because "it's an up-and-coming neighborhood" and they'd be losing a lot of money. They are going to "figure out the rules as we go along" and so far the only rule is that the new girlfriend (former ex) isn't allowed to move in. But I am expecting that to happen soon.

The BWL aspect of this whole situation is that I'm pretty sure she still wants to get back together with him and that the house will help. She basically thinks that he got scared of commitment from buying the house and that as long as he doesn't sleep with his ex (and she finds out about it) that he never really cheated or left. Everyone told her not to go through with it, but when she did she kept waffling between "He just got cold feet! He'll be back!" and "I need to go through with it because I'll own half a house in an up-and-coming neighborhood and I can be financially independent! I'm doing this to stick it to him!" For the record, the girl her boyfriend left her for was his girlfriend in high-school (10+ years ago) and cheated on him twice. Once on a band trip to Florida and another within two months of him going to college. They originally broke up when he was 20 and he is now 31.
