Sat 02:59:54 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] controlled by USA
Sat 03:02:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR3], Yes, the way it reads is so robotic and formulaic that you can tell as soon as you've read some of it.

Sat 04:24:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR3], Illinois is now investigating State Farm for price gouging after the company announced homeowner's insurance rates are increasing 27% as of next month.
Sat 04:25:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Pritzker was furious while he was having his press conference about it.
Sat 04:25:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He said it will cost "homeowners" several hundred dollars more per year in premiums than they pay now.
Sat 04:25:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Yes, the cost of a mortgage isn't fixed.
Sat 04:26:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Home insurance and property taxes can go up and those increase the cost of the mortgage.
Sat 04:27:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Your mortgage company is informed immediately if you terminate the home insurance policy, and they will force place one on you and add it to the mortgage. The difference is that you will not get to rate shop and it may not be the rate you could get yourself, and if you don't pay the forced placed insurance (which is now the mortgage itself!) they will foreclose on the home.
Sat 04:27:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They're not going to let you sit there and risk their investment, the house.

Sat 04:50:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then I called the finance company and told them "I'm driving it every day and it has no comprehensive or collision so if I have a wreck you won't be able to sell the car and there will be no recourse due to the bankruptcy.
Sat 04:50:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ :D
Sat 04:52:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They had a car I was driving with liability only coverage, on the freeway every day, in a major city. Which was worth almost $25,000.

Sat 05:07:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ When you sign the paperwork and pull out of the dealership lot and the car goes "kerthunk" getting onto the road. That was the sound of the loss of $6,000.

Sat 13:17:10 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] That doesn't sound very left wing to me because, in software, copying does not remove the original, meaning limited intervention by government is needed to protect those rights. All the state need do is refuse to participate in legal action undertaken by those trying to trample on others modifying the code. At most, I would argue that state intervention might be needed to compell the release of source code, if mandatory source cod

Sat 13:17:11 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] That said, that doesn't mean it's inherently bad (as a consequence of being 'left' or 'right'). I think trying to put everything you agree with on the same side of the spectrum that you self-identfy with (and, conversely, putting everything you disagree with on the other side) is harmful to the people because it hinders bipartisanship on universally good ideas and enables malfeasance by leaders in an aligned party."

Sat 21:03:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ American Express - Why They're Successful
Sat 21:06:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I have Discover cards. They still say "Diner's Club" on the back of them strangely enough.
Sat 21:07:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Although Diner's Club hasn't been a thing in decades, you still see the logo where the Discover logo is on businesses.
Sat 21:09:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ American Express has all these travel perks, but then you find out that it's actually hard to use the cards if you go out of the country. Even when you can use it abroad, they charge a fee of 3.5% that many Visa and MasterCards don't have.
Sat 21:10:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Capital One has no foreign transaction fee. That came in handy several times when I had to buy something in other currencies online. I almost never use my Capital One cards unless I am doing that and want to avoid getting whacked with a 3.5% fee on top of the transaction.
Sat 21:11:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I keep the Discover cards around because Mandy and I both have Discover It and they occasionally have some sort of crazy promo or a good bonus category (they revolve).
Sat 21:11:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So there's no spending on them for months, then there's a huge spike, then no spending for months.
Sat 21:13:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Discover could have avoided being acquired by Capital One had they been more innovative and done something to encourage people with Discover cards to keep them "top of the wallet". I think American Express is eating up most of the higher end business these days. Other banks are fighting over less desirable customers.
Sat 21:13:15 │ 〖admfubar〗 │ https://www.firstpost.com/explainers/sun-valley-2025-ai-rivalries-media-shakeups-paramount-mergers-everything-13905322.html
Sat 21:14:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ My dad still keeps his Discover card top of the wallet, but he's a 72 year old man that's not looking for premium benefits. You can't run a company when the average age of your customers is going up about 1 year every year.
Sat 21:48:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Discover was primarily useful for being really easy to get as a person with a bankruptcy. A relatively low deposit which gets returned in 5-6 months when they up the limit and convert it to a normal card.

Sat 23:17:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR3], A lot of the reason I don't shop at Aldi anymore is they went completely off the rails.
Sat 23:18:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You used to have to take cash there, but eventually you could slide your debit card. Debit cards don't charge much to the merchant. Then they started taking credit cards, including the ones that are very expensive for merchants, like American Express.

Sun 04:55:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I agree on the tipping.
Sun 04:55:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Go in, sit down restaurant, waiter takes care of you. Really nice tip.

Sun 04:56:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Why? They pay those people at Five Guys almost $20 an hour, which is not the tipped minimum wage. It's fast food. You have to bus your own tables and get your own drinks.
Sun 04:57:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I usually tip really well if I go in and sit down and eat. I usually also only go in those places if there's some huge rebate the credit card company gave us.
Sun 04:57:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So it's really the restaurant paying the tip through the credit card the way I see it.

Sun 05:04:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I hate these things. You go to some place where they're well paid, nobody's giving you a lot of personal service, and it sticks the "tip" screen in front of you.
Sun 05:04:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I order on apps a lot just to avoid the "tip shaming".
Sun 05:04:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "It's just gonna ask you a question."

Sun 05:07:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There's no screen to tip for fast food, or it's set to zero and you just click pay now.
Sun 05:08:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's gotten ridiculous where you just want a burger and to dodge the tip screen while someone stares at you, you have to use the app.
Sun 05:09:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You go into Five Guys and it backs you into a corner "Do you want to give this guy $6 for handing you a bag with fries and a burger that you're going to have to clean up yourself?"
Sun 05:17:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I like to make coffee myself. It costs too much at Dunkin and Starbucks and then they add a tip screen that forces you to add 20% to that $8 coffee or look like a mega-dick in front of everyone.

Sun 05:22:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The amount of the expected tip has also been creeping up.
Sun 05:23:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ In the 50s, it was about 10% of the bill in a sit down restaurant, by the 90s it was roughly 15%. Lately it's like 20%. I get that life has gotten more expensive, but I see a default of 20, and I'm more of a 15-18% guy. In a few years they'll set it to 25% and people will just go along with it.
