Preorder something that won't be released for another month to get over the threshold, then cancel the preordered item once the stuff you actually want is shipped

So I'm ordering them off of Amazon but I can't think of anything that I want to get enough money on the order for free shipping. I figure I should at least spend some of the money I make on random crap as I'm far from broke now but like, I just don't want stuff, you know? Get some monster cables

Dave Grool posted:You will never regret saving some money away for later I've saved more money than I used to make in a year. I don't regret that at all the money just keeps piling up and I'm like "well I guess I could...buy some things?" I guess I got so accustomed to being broke as hell and having nothing that I just kind of like...don't spend money now. Adjusting to actually having money has been weird. It's the most first world problem possible, I think. "I can easily pay my bills as soon as they show up in the mail and it confuses me!" In the end I just bought more books because I read a lot. oldpainless posted:Get some monster cables No need. I have plenty of coat hangers. Just as good.

More of a First World Indecision than a problem. Of late I've got a few more keys, and my keychain is getting a bit messy. I kind of want to switch from the lanyard I've used for so long to something else. The indecision comes from being rather irrationally afraid of losing my keys. As long as they are on my neck, it's ever-so-slightly more difficult to lose them. Even if I do put them in my pocket for whatever reason, the added bulk is both reassuring and annoying.

That's actually why I dislike summer. I usually put my keys and phone in my coat pocket and my wallet in my pants pocket. When the weather gets too hot for a coat I have to shuffle all of them in my pants and it's annoying because I fear my keys scraping the screen of my phone and putting anything in the back pockets makes me feel like I'm walking awkward like a cat with tape on its sides.

This is the one weird thing where being a woman is an actual advantage as we can just dump all that poo poo into a handbag. Men need to make it acceptable to carry a bag too and then you won’t need to worry about your keys and wallets and won’t make your pockets look all bulky and deformed.

I clicked on a news article like 2 hours ago and the page was still up when I opened safari right now on my iPhone and I started typing in the search bar for “why are raccoons so fat” and the predictive text/autocorrects were all related to the aforementioned article  What. The. gently caress. I also didn’t get an answer to my question.

I keep getting 2-3 spam texts a day for payday loan companies. I'm not replying STOP to "opt-out", since that'll flag my number as active and I'll get even more. I report every single one to the SPAM number. But they're slowly increasing in number and it's very frustrating. I used to get one a week. I also keep getting spam calls from my area code and prefix, which of course are spoofed robodialers. Why the gently caress don't cell providers let you block wildcards yet? There's nobody important calling me from that area!

Like seriously nobody gives a crap if a guy carries a bag. Might get poo poo for a purse specifically fashioned to be for women but a messenger bag or a laptop bag? Not really. I've had one for like 20 years and never have gotten crap over it.

Kind of sucks when you have legitimate infrequent business contacts that fall under that category, but I generally just apologize in advance for the upcoming voicemail phone tag.

My friend got rear-ended by a train of cars yesterday on the highway, average speed about 65mph. His van's back was demolished, he got bad whiplash, but the other cars were almost totalled. 100% not his fault, but everyone in the base is teasing him and saying he shouldn't drive anymore because he's a poo poo driver. Last year he was T-boned, also not his fault (other driver ran a red light) and they still laughed about him being on a two month vacation, when he was in physical therapy. Like, what the gently caress. Part of me would love to go to these assholes and mock them for all their general fuckups (if you weren't 40 and an assistant manager who will never advance, maybe your wife wouldn't have left you! ) but I don't understand how you can literally laugh at someone being injured and be amazed when they get pissed off.

Someone wrote an email complaining I opened my store late when I asked them to let me finish pulling 3 rental wagons outside 2 minutes before I actually opened. It was just so first world problemy that when I told my coworkers about it I also said I felt a sense of accomplishment to get a complaint lime that. To actually take the time to write an email about waiting 30 seconds to enter a store at 9 in the morning is some serious dedication to complaining about inconsequential things. Because I'm a zoo gift shop and they didn't even buy anything. It was just to browse before moving on. I laughed so hard when my manager mentioned it to me.

The built-in plastic straw of my favorite waterbottle fell out of the lid, and when I picked it up I noticed that on both ends there were a multitude of tiny black dots. There are not enough  s to properly articulate my feelings at this moment.

My city is about to ban plastic straws. First they came for the plastic bags and now I can't even sip a drink anymore. Aren't there bigger problems the politicians should be tackling.

I don't know, maybe fixing the needles and piss and poo poo all over the street are the more pressing environmental problem. But nobody has any interest in solving that. Gotta attack the straws though.

Plastic straws are a gigantic contributor to permanent plastic waste. Go buy a reusable one with a pipe cleaner if you're so fed up.

Those are needle exchange programs, if you live where I think I remember you do. The number is not increasing by their hand. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. There is no functional equivalent between the bureaucracy that banned straws and the bureaucracy that has literally anything to do with what you're talking about. False equivalency. It is possible to care about more than one thing at a time.

It actually is increasing. None of the people running for mayor give a gently caress about cleaning up the city. https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/matier-ross/article/Those-needles-littering-the-streets-The-city-12898656.php quote:For all of City Hall’s tough talk of late about getting needles off the streets, the city itself is responsible for helping fuel the problem — handing out millions of syringes a year with little or no controls over their return. So yeah, I agree getting rid of straws is fine but maybe we stop the literal drugs on the kids playgrounds first. Don't straws get recycled anyway?

Most fast food places don't have waste sorting programs, and even if you have sorting bins on the streets and in restaurants, most people don't take the time to do it properly. We have bins at work with photos of items over each receptacle and the garbage still fills completely while compost and recycling are mostly empty when it should be almost all compost with some bottles and plastics in recycling and only chip bags and wax lined cups in the actual garbage.

Refusing to recycle because that would involve putting garbage in more than one can is the most American thing possible. That's just peak laziness.

I qualified for free shipping with my Amazon order, but it's so slow. I blame myself for splurging for faster shipping nine times out of ten in the past for making normal shipping feel like agony.
