Maybe I’m the odd one out but I can’t take any “take” seriously when people can’t just use names. I’ve seen “Elaine” and now “Elmo” and “Muskrat”.

This was a much more succinct way of saying what I wanted to say.

And what field is this? Or what professions do you think so well here?

Just adding in a couple thoughts… there are lots of apps for this or you can keep it simple with your own spreadsheet. I’ve used EveryDollar for like 6 years now, it’s gotten a little bloated but the core functionality is the same.

Budgeting sucks at first. It feels super restrictive, and it’s a little stressful. This goes away after like a month or two and you will feel the complete opposite. It feels like so much more freedom once you get the hang of it and you will feel very empowered controlling your money.

I had a buddy try it out, saw how much he was spending on weed, then gave up trying. What you should do is just factor in your spending on weed and work around it if you need to, or change habits if you’re ready. Budgeting doesn’t mean you have to change your spending habits… you likely will, but it’s more about being in control of your money.

It’s funny whenever this is brought up on a reddit admin post. They always come with some stat saying a tiny % of users use old.reddit.com like that means people barely use it and therefore useless. But I see a lot of active posters talk about it which means those are probably the users you want to keep around lol.

How about today? It doesn’t feel very special

But what if I want to brag about my computer components or car mods that I’ve done?? Where do I put that so people can see it on every post?!

Gold originally was fine imo. Then it got out of control with so many different medals, some free, some cheap, etc. They made it so confusing and basically every post on the front page had some sort of award. They made it confusing and cluttered… At least they realized it was dumb.

This is a good idea to try out. I’ll try it thanks!

I have about 30 communities I’m subscribed to and 90% of it is the memes and shitpost communities. So 2 communities are basically all I see. They’re probably the most active but it’s still extremely disproportionate. I’m like you I want to unsubscribe but it doesn’t seem like the right way. Maybe I’ll do it to test if smaller communities content comes through.

I guess I should add that I’ve done hot, top for the day, 12 hr, new, active, etc. I have a handful of communities I’ve never seen on my feed. I have to go to them manually.

Same. I used reddit mostly for smaller communities and the hot algorithm doesn’t seem to pick them up here. They’re pretty inactive but they do have daily posts. If I don’t go directly to that community though, I won’t see them. I’m sure these things will be refined over-time.

I just think it’s silly some of the other comments saying “sometimes silence is deafening” “they could reply or choose not to respond” (assuming they even see this and other comments).

But this just feels very witch hunt and feels like a classic reddit-type post. I don’t know how much you truly care about his stance or if you’re just bored on the internet, it just feels like it would be exhausting going around to different figures of services you use to get their stance on things.

Why don’t you message him and ask? He’s not going to come in to this thread and answer you. And that’s the nice thing, you just make an account on another instance that you agree with on everything.

I’m on a Pixel 7 Pro. I really enjoy it. The camera is amazing and a lot of the Google features are really handy. Handy enough that it will be difficult to go with another brand I think.

It is also nice getting all of the newest Google features as they come out too! Though I do usually try and change manufacturers every time I get a new phone. I like trying new stuff out though.

Having a Pixel phone is always so great for calling these types of numbers. If it’s a popular enough number, it will show on the screen like text messages of all the # options as soon as it connects if it knows it. If it doesn’t it will still display voice to text so you don’t have to try and remember the best option. It will even “hold” for you and when someone picks up on the business’s end it will let them know you’ll pick up in a second and notify you. Sometimes it will even have info on the current average wait time.

It’s made calling companies so much nicer.

Broke a helmet and concussed myself as a teenager because my quick release on the front wheel was loose, and well you can guess what happened. Learned a valuable lesson that day to always, always check that the quick release is tight
