Here’s What to Do With Those Credit Card Pre-approval Offers You Get in the Mail

As tempting and celebratory as those credit card pre-approval offers seem, they’re not actually gifts. They’re advertisements. They serve no purpose other than to sell you something. And we’ve told you before about the money-draining power of advertisements. But just in case, here’s a summary of the insidious nature of ads:

The average person sees between 4,000 and 10,000 advertisements every single fucking day.

Clever marketing professionals design ads to make you feel like the only thing standing between you and eternal happiness is their product. Their tricks are sophisticated, even to the point where you’re excited to see the ad (see the scenario in the intro).

Even when ads don’t work, they are an unnecessary drain on your time, attention, and processing power.

Finally have a Patreon

Hi everyone,

I apologize about the delays on the next chapter of Yuuto and Léandre. Sincerely, a lot of situations popped up out of nowhere-- bills going higher, less people coming to cons to help said bills, and my cat eating damn thread so she needed emergency surgery :( So, I'm struggling a bit financially.

Therefore, I've recently started a patreon so that I can, hopefully, make time to finish the next part of the comic and create more in the future.

If you're able, here's the link to my patreon. I'm trying to draw all requests given on there right now and I really could use the help. Plus, there's a peak of the next chapter and doodles I haven't posted before.

Again, I'm sorry for the delays and having to put art behind a paywall. I prefer my art to be free just because I love sharing it. I wouldn't do this if circumstances weren't dire :(

Thank you for reading, I hope to be back very soon

Everyplate unboxing

I did the Everyplate offer again! Seriously, guys--I'm not trying to be, like, a corporate shill here, but if you do their introductory offer and then immediately cancel, they will beg to give you the introductory offer again. And again. And again. I've done it like six times, all with the same credit card/address/etc. They've even started adding bonus offers--this time I got an extra meal and a packet of steak for $1.

If you live in the US, have a credit card, and like cooking, you should probably do it, is what I'm saying. All you have to do is remember to cancel it when the box arrives.

Here's the box:

It's a nice box, with a corrugated/reflective lining for temperature regulation. It's sturdy enough that you can re-use it (and the ice-packs that you get) as a little picnic cooler several times.

Here's inside the box:

Everything's just kind of jumbled in there, so you have to unpack it and sort out what goes with each meal. I've been doing the 6 meals/2 servings plan the last few times (the first few times I did 3 meals/4 servings), and with the extra meal offer this time I got 2 servings each of 7 meals. (You can get a smaller number of meals, but the shipping is a flat $11 no matter how many you get. If you pay attention when you're choosing which recipes you want, you can easily stretch the box out over 2 weeks--pick some things with vegetables that keep well, like carrots and so forth, and put the meat component in the freezer.)

Chicken stir-fry and dijon mustard steak:

With their stir-fries, I like to add some extra vegetables; I made this one last night and put in carrots and some more peppers, and it ended up being more like 3 servings than 2. The other one is originally a pork-chops recipe, but I'm going to do it with my free steak instead; I'm planning to have it tomorrow.

Shepherd's pie and linguine:

These two I'm putting aside for next week--I put the ground beef in the freezer, and everything else should be OK.

Sweet-potato hash and sausage flatbreads:

The sweet potato hash is also for next week. I made the flatbreads today. It was a little more complicated than I thought--they have you making a white sauce from scratch; I had to go out and buy milk--but it was really good!

Cherry pork chops/chicken:

They do a lot of recipes that are chicken or pork chops with some sort of fruit jam--I've done apricot and fig ones; this one has cherry jam. Since I ordered two meals that came with pork chops (this one and the dijon mushroom one) I swapped one set of pork chops for chicken, but then I also got the $1 steak, so I have an extra packet of meat; once I decide which one I want to have, I'll put the other one in the freezer.

I paid, like, $35 for all this food. I don't really understand why it's worth it to them to keep sending me this introductory offer when I have never bought a single full-price box, but they keep sending me emails asking me to please consider letting them send me a big box of food that they cannot possibly be making any money on, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . I will oblige them.

was really hoping I wouldn’t have to do this but I’m in kind of dire straits right now—I had to quit my job in December because of the effect it was having on my mental & physical health, & I finally got an arthritis diagnosis a few months ago so I’m doing occupational & physical therapy, but I’m really truly out of money & still not ready to go back to work, and I at least need to be able to pay the bills on the credit cards I’ve been having to put everything else on

I already made my monthly payment on the second card, but my phone bill & car insurance are tied to that card & I’m going to overdraft when those go through if I don’t get some help. Going to try to set up an inprnt soon but in the meantime if anyone could donate I would really appreciate it

do yall think that sigma's ability malfunctions or is inaccurate sometimes. the description says something along the lines of the exchange of information each really wants to know the most.

imagine like atsushi touching sigma but instead of knowing the location of the page what he actually wanted to know was something completely different and useless like if he'd be able to survive the drop or if there was a sale on chazuke or something.

he goes to touch fyodor and while sigma gets his future plans and fyodor gets sigma's pov of nikolai ranting about how pretty fyodor would look when he finally kills him because he wanted to know about the clown's plans.
