tbh if it doesn't attract ants or anything i guess it's not a big deal. you could always remove the pepsi that is left inside the bottle and put some random stickers on it or something so it turns from trash to decoration haha

i bought shredded wheat from a random store and i really, really do not like this little wheat guy. I wish he would go away

i've been using venmo to collect rent from my friend for probably about a year or so now, we used to use this feature on facebook messenger that let you send money to people but they removed it in wisconsin for some legislative reason, also someone got into my facebook account and got the thing banned with no way to appeal because the password was buddyman5 :3c

anyhow back when we used the program over facebook messenger the transaction was instantaneous, which you would expect given this is the internet age and banks have internet enabled protocols for these purposes. with venmo, however, they make you wait several days unless you pay a fee (???) which makes the transfer instantaneous. i'm never hurting for money at this point so i don't really care if i have to wait but the notion seems predatory to me considering most people using this program are probably desperate for cash most of the time, so they'll fork over a chunk of their own money for it to happen right away. why is this an acceptable practice and do other programs like venmo do this too?

i keep telling him to get a fkin checkbook and write me checks but for some reason trying to convince people under the age of 40 to use checks is almost impossible

it's a thing here in the netherlands too, though every time ive been asked the option "normal or instant" the fee has been zero or minimal, guess it's a matter of time until the fee goes up

that doesn't happen in spain... although over here all of the money transfer with a phone number functions that are in other apps in other countries are instead integrated into the banks apps so it makes more sense

Also, a bunch of european banks are introducing free fast bank transfers, so you can just have the same practical effect as those apps. People won't just give you their phone number though lol but it can be good to transfer money from your personal account to a brokerage account or to my account (yes, you can always give me money! ^^ )
