Yes. Also I love how in all of those terrible memes, half or more of the poo poo in them is just poo poo no one needs to do anymore. "why don't we teach kids to balance a checkbook or change oil anymore??" well grandma, it's because no one under 80 writes checks & I can see all the transactions I've ever made from this handy app on my phone, and I'd rather spend the extra $2 on an oil change that proves I've been taking care of my car than do it myself.

What I'd like to see for a class in primary school is how to fact check and properly use a search engine.

yeah, changing oil isn't hard. but instead of crawling my fat rear end around on the asphalt under my modern car with less than a foot of clearance and then dealing with disposing oil and all that nonsense i can just pay some dude twenty bucks to do it in ten minutes

back in grandma's day they'd just pour it into holes in the ground. no kidding

-put pan under oil drain plug
-pull oil drain plug without spilling oil all over your idiot face
-watch oil drain into pan
-change oil filter if necessary (this part can be a huge pain in the rear end depending on what kind of car you have)
-replace oil drain plug
-make drat sure you replaced the oil drain plug
-triple check the oil drain plug
-yes i have poured many quarts of oil straight through my car onto the garage floor before
-put the appropriate amount of oil back into the car, having checked to ensure the oil drain plug is closed and the oil filter is firmly seated
-deal with a pan full of used motor oil by taking it to an auto parts store or something, or just throw it in a creek if you're a huge piece of poo poo

i just forced you to learn how to change your oil against your will because i am haunted by the nagging ghost of a dipshit boomer who thinks that putting up with all this crap to save the cost of a cheap meal for two is somehow morally necessary in the year 2018

It's easy as hell, but assuming you give a poo poo about the environment getting rid of it is way more of a hassle than it's worth compared to the 30 bucks it costs to get it done by a professional.

Yeah put me in the pile of 'I lived in the UK and didn't touch a check since the 90s, but now I'm in the US and ugggggggh I have to deal with these things again'.

Also due to my naivete of the drat things, someone stole a check I'd already cashed, scribbled out the part on the back where I wrote that it was deposited and somehow convinced a teller that it was perfectly legit for him to have a check in someone elses in name with something scratched out and deposited it again. And so the bank took the money from my account, and told to me to go swivel. Yay, two weeks wages gone.
:psyduck: How did you end up with a check you had cashed once in your possession? Also, why didn't you cover that cashed check in sharpie from corner to corner and/or shred it? Can't cash a censor bar.

Your bank sounds like trash; my bank wouldn't even accept a check that was totally correctly written out because the person who wrote it misspelled the word eighty.

I deposit everything online, so I still retain the check. I now sharpie & destroy them after they've cleared, but I had no idea a check could be run through the system again without it erroring due to being submitted previously. I know this now, sadly. I never thought I'd say I miss the UK banking system, but here we are.

So their security failed at literally every step, multiple Banks were clearly at fault for not following their own standards, and you're eating the subsequent costs?

Insurance reimbursement rates are abysmal for therapy so: the ones that don't take insurance.

Apparently direct deposit costs extra fees. My old job didn't have direct deposit because the owner didn't want to pay the extra for it. He also didn't pay overtime. All overtime was paid for in a personal check under the table because he got taxed less that way

This might have been true at one point but any sane bank (read: credit union) will prefer DD over physical checks because envelopes containing paper mean wage-hours to process. Direct deposit comes in over the nightly ACH batch that they’re handling anyway.

Technically all of them except insurance pays it. If I miss a visit I pay out of pocket for the appointment I didn't go to - it's $300. Really introduced some feelings of enmity for the therapist I'm seeing to help with feelings stemming from unemployment

I went to a counselor once and while I was waiting for him to get there (he was almost an hour late) I read all my first time documents and apparently if I was late once it was free the second time I would have to pay the full $250 and no longer be a patient

The one time I was inpatient for suicidal ideation I spent significantly more time talking with billing department WHILE I was inpatient than talking to any therapist or doctor because they used the wrong name for my insurance.

Hi, everyone. I have problems with my spine, and also a small cup full of nail clippings from my cat. I have searched, and searched, and searched, and I can't find anything that says boiled cat toenails don't regrow spinal discs and repair damaged nerves. This means it is absolutely feasible that I can cure my spine with cat detritus, right?

“Cool Trump” still has “Trump” as part of it.

Maybe more “Trump with sunglasses and finger guns”.
