Compound interest is great, which is why banks are putting more hurdles in the way of poorer people to access it - my wife's savings account only accrues interest if you deposit a certain amount a month and don't make any withdrawals.

Sorry, we run out of money a lot just buying loving food so need to dip into the savings regularly, no interest for us.

Not to be a shill, but online banks can get you 4.5% APR on no minimum balance online accounts. I use Betterment.com personally. While not as readily accessible as a local bank, it's not bad for mid-long term stuff...

Because it's a property ladder, I buy a starter home, then sell it at a profit, then buy a better house, and up and up until I'm an aristocratic landowner.

Casey’s primarily serves tiny communities, their strategy was to go where McDonalds wouldn’t in the 80s/90s, and convenience stores in the Midwest typically carry wood for fireplaces, pits, and wood stoves.

Oh. Well now it makes me sad.

The 7-11 near me charged 8.00 for wood.... Could not imagine if lower income folks had to rely on that for heating.

Cigarette-packet maths (assuming Olrox is 200–300 years old and Nocturne is set around the French Revolution) suggest he would've been turned around the time Tenochtitlan fell, which means it's not out of the realm of possibility.

The bigger question is how the character of Kronk from The Emperor's New Groove is consistently portrayed as Jewish (indeed, I think he's one of the only Jewish characters in Disney's entire animated film canon) despite also being from pre-Columbian America.

I don't think Young Earth Creationism is Mormon doctrine.

In my experience, Mormons ascribe to a wide variety of Evangelical beliefs in addition to the tenets of sci-fi Christianity.

Although one fun LDS belief is that bigfoot is actually the biblical Cain. An early church founder wrote in 1835:

quote:

As I was riding along the road on my mule I suddenly noticed a very strange person walking beside me. . . . His head was about even with my shoulders as I sat in my saddle. He wore no clothing, but was covered with hair. His skin was very dark. I asked him where he dwelt and he replied that he had no home, that he was a wanderer in the earth and traveled to and fro. He said he was a very miserable creature, . . . and his mission was to destroy the souls of men.

It's more than complicated. If you're an LDS student, you are subject to monitoring by the BYU honor code, which includes being at church every week, not having sex if you're straight, not having any kind of romantic relationship if you're gay, not swearing, following the (strict) dress code, "Abstain from alcoholic beverages, tobacco, tea, coffee, vaping, marijuana, and other substance abuse."

If you get caught violating these, you can not only be expelled, but BYU will refuse to release your transcript, so you'll have to start from scratch at another college.

Don't forget that getting sexually assaulted could also constitute an honor code violation. And don't expect much help from the local cops either.
