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.

nothing more embarrassing than being short on money getting groceries and the cashier pays the rest of the balance for you :/
#why doesn’t costco accept mastercard credit cards#that’s so fucking dumb#like i had the capability to get those groceries and then you’re gonna tell me you don’t take my brand of fake money#give me a fucking break#the cashier didn’t even offer to do it or ask#she just went and did it#like a ‘gtfo of the line you’re taking too long’#gimme a fucking break bro

when obi-wan is saying things like “only a master of evil, darth” is it because he thinks that’s vader’s first name or is it more of a “gee whiz, mister, you shouldn’t strike me down” situation
#is there a common misconception that all sith have the same first name#DID anakin have to file evil name change paperwork as part of his fall??#is darth vader getting credit card offers addressed to anakin skywalker?

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
#ppl have already talked about it but god DAMN the medical system is so fucked in america#even for pets#my cat's surgery was 5k upfront#they offered no payment plans#only a credit card that'll charge me interest#like that's FUCKED#im lucky that I'm a freak when it comes to saving and budgeting so I had the money to save her damn life#AND I have multiple jobs#imagine someone normal trying to save their pets life#they're fucked#im ranting in tags again sorry but god damn im so mad about it#delete later

What the actual fuck is the point of having dental insurance if my max coverage only covers ONE ROOT CANAL AND CROWN
#the dentist casually quoted me about 10k of work before I can get braces#which will be another like 5k#and I didn’t know how to tell them that my insurance only covers about 2k worth of work a year 💀💀#OH AND WHAT GETS ME#is I have to get my wisdom teeth taken out#but if I do that my insurance is maxed out and I can’t afford any of the fillings I need#and when I asked them if their office offered a payment plan the option they gave me was a fucking credit card#what rich old man do I have to marry to get my teeth paid for /hj#geese.txt

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.
#food#groceries#this can't possibly go on forever#but if you have a US address and a credit card you can get in on it while it lasts#back in the day they used to advertise this thing where you could get 8 cassettes/CDs for a penny “just pay shipping”#but then they would automatically send you stuff every month unless you told them not to#and you had to buy several items at full price before you were allowed to cancel it#this is not like that#you can do the introductory offer and just cancel right away#you do not ever have to buy a full-price box#they do keep emailing you periodically but just to keep offering you discounted boxes with no obligation to ever buy a full price one#I'm guessing it's some kind of enshittification cycle thing where it makes them look good to investors if people cancel and come back?#just spitballing#but anyway it's pretty good stuff and I cannot stress enough how very much they do not try to stop you#from taking advantage of the introductory offer over and over again#they positively encourage it

pro tip;
never autopay your credit payments for the day they're due.
give yourself at least a few days of a grace period in case your payment bounces and you need to choose an alternate method. there's also the risk that your bank doesn't approve the payment in time and then it's a late fee.
#p#they only offer it as an option to test the people who are shit at money and money management.#bc they love when people have bad credit and are in debt#dont ever think your credit card company wants you to thrive. they dont.
