Is there anywhere in the world you wouldn’t mind visiting for a few days but the effort or cost prevents you from ever actually going there? Like if you could teleport there instantly for a few days, you would do it. I guess this would preclude dangerous places like Somolia or the top of Mount Everest where being there itself would be dangerous and you might not survive just being there. For me, it would be the Kerguelen Archipelago. It seems like an interesting remote place with penguins and out of this world geological vibes kinda like Iceland. Then you lo…

Florida. Is “bundling” car insurance actually cheaper or is just marketing?? Speaking specifically about Geico. I switched from Progressive to Geico after my renewal policy cost skyrocketed.. Despite me just having purchased a car that is 10 years newer, 130k less miles and TONS of extra safety features.

LPT Request: How to stop endlessly scrolling and actually get on with daily life? So I’ve recently been having issues with my mental health, which has ended up with me spending all my time doom-scrolling socials and YouTube without realising how much time has passed and by the time I realise it’s too late to start doing anything as I need to get food and get some sleep. These jobs aren’t large jobs by any means, just standard…

I have never had a credit card and tried to avoid them. But do I actually need a one? I’m fortunate to live at home to save on expenses, but I would like to eventually buy a small house. I checked my credit score a few days ago and it wasn’t the greatest, like 600. I paid my student loan off a 2 years ago and I bought a used car at discount before that for cash. I’d like to keep it as long as I can. I feel like I should be in a g…

Is spending 30% of your income on rent actually recommended? I just received a raise, now make $90,000/yr. I’ve wanted to live in a nicer apartment for a long time. My current apartment is 500sq feet and somewhat depressing, it is also very cheap. I spend 9% of my current income on rent. I work from home so having a nice place to live and work would be awesome. But I’ve lived ‘below my means’ for so long,…

Are there any lens adapters and/or smartphone-native lenses that are actually worth a damn? I see such a wild spread of anywhere from $20 little clip-ons to $500 rigs for your proper glass and I have to wonder if any of that matters when it’s being filtered through the little piece of protective plastic onto your microscopic sensor. Of course I instinctual shy away from the cheap stuff, but if I’m just trying to get something like a l…

What’s a comedy show that no one talks about, but was actually really good? I miss the days of Spin City, Just Shoot Me and Veronica’s Closet. 3rd Rock etc… They were fun to watch without being annoying like 2 and a Half Men or Big Bang, but see how those have stuck in people’s memory. Why is that? submitted by /u/BlackSpinedPlinketto

I found a used car that I could afford a down payment on. I get to the dealer (which appears to be a one person operation) and test drive the car. Works great, decide to go ahead. Waited 3 hours for the dealer to fill out the financing info online, as he did…

Common Workplace Expressions That Are Actually Quite Problematic “Divide and conquer.” “War room.” “Crack the whip.” “Let’s drill our vertical bores into sacred Native American land and leak noxious fossil gases into the atmosphere.” “We as a company must come together to sweep any human rights abuses under the rug so that our CEO, a powerful figure of corruption and sin, can continue hiding his illegal incom…

How do you decide whether you actually love a city or just love the holiday experience? I’m considering moving to a city I was recently holidaying in because I’m fortunate enough to be a dual citizen with that country and have some family there – however upon more sober reflection (figuratively speaking) I’m beginning to wonder if I really did love the place or was just intoxicated by the fact that I was on holiday with no work or …
