TB is often right, just too trigger-happy to go on a rampage arguing with someone. Content: TIFU by getting scammed. https://www.reddit.com/r/personalfinance/comments/6v4ld5/tifu_by_getting_scammed/ posted:Let me say first I know how stupid I was and that its my own fault so pls don't be harsh on me. So here is what happend I am a student in a College and I go work 5 days a week after the school to afford apartment and food and poo poo. So it's very unusual for me to have some spare money. I can spend maybe 20 bucks a month for entertainment.

http://www.askamanager.org/2017/08/i-ghosted-my-ex-and-shes-about-to-be-my-new-boss.html BWL: ghosting your girlfriend, who you've been with for three years and lived with for two years, with no notification while she is out of town. In the process, moving to another country without telling her or explaining anything. BWM: when you're an expat later, she becomes your boss, and you don't think you can find another job in the country.

To be fair to her, her live-in boyfriend of 3 years disappeared while she was out of town so maybe freaking out and trying to find him is reasonable

Yeah, ghosting so hard you move countries after 3 years together is gonna have consequences since your SO will assume you've been murdered/kidnapped/sold into slavery. Basically the worst thing to do if you want to "avoid being untangled in a break-up drama".

r/Buttcoin is like a fractal of stupid where the deeper you go the more layers of stupid you uncover: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/6vbfip/that_was_an_expensive_coffee_i_just_bought_to/?st=J6OA1BKY&sh=67f57760 Buttcoiner pays $3.46 worth of buttcoins in fees in order to buy a cup of coffee for $1 worth of buttcoin. I'm imagining he tipped his fedora daintily to the barista after explaining why it took 5 minutes to pay for his stupid coffee. He's also too stupid to obscure his entire buttcoin address thingy so if he has a worthwhile amount of $buttc it's probably already gone to easy hacking. And according to the comments the 346% transaction fee is also massively subsidized by Buttcoinbase and they lost money on this transaction

I think calling her bonkers because she tried to find out what happened to her missing boyfriend is a bit much. "Huh, my live in boyfriend of two years just disappeared one day with no warning. Don't want to be a bitch and find out if he's dead or not so I won't ask any of his friends/family what happened to him ." -A normal girlfriend, apparently

Papa John Misty posted:To be fair to her, her live-in boyfriend of 3 years disappeared while she was out of town so maybe freaking out and trying to find him is reasonable Of course this could all be coincidence, he could be exaggerating her reaction/contact attempts. FYI because I think you've misunderstood what I'm saying: I'm laughing at him and how the world conspired to pay him back for being an rear end in a top hat but also suggesting that maybe she tracked him down and took the job just to get back at him. Who knows?

Yeah that's much more likely than "they're both expat teacher types and their paths crossed again in their relatively small field" They were living together in a third country and all that

Some people are dumbquote:I’m 20 years old and I got a new job 4 months ago where my take home each week on 40 hours is roughly $492. I also am able to work overtime if I want and so I usually try to get 16 hours over each week which puts my take home at around $750. The problem is I wanted a new truck in the beginning but my mom talked me into getting a new car instead because it’s a lot cheaper and it’s better on gas for driving to work. On top of that I recently took over the payments for her house because she moved to a different town for family reasons. I’ll just list my current monthly bills

I was all excited after a bunch of people told me that at 25 "your insurance rates go down!" like it's the last official 'becoming an adult' thing you can do except when I turned 25 I also simultaneously moved to a new city and my rates actually went up to 150% of what they were previously

Like since actuarial calculations made their way into Lotus 1-2-3 long time. Anecdotal evidence may indicate that it happens, but that's just because the real numbers say that most people who are either very young or old drivers suck at driving. Since the real numbers are nearly instantly calculable they use those rather than "you are 25! Let's give you a rate change!"
