Originally posted by Sophie To steal Lanny's words, my internal monologue's different compared to how i act here. It's not much different but there is a clear distinction. I love being here and not having to worry about the extreme aspects of my personality. I mean, i guess i am always me in a sense, i just enhancement more of my thoughts when i am in the real world.
IDK, it's kind of hard to explain. In essence, i think no one really knows the real me except for my gf. And god bless her heart for not running away screaming i suppose.
Do you think she will still accept you when she becomes old enough to be able to think for herself? -

2018-10-26 at 1:38 AM UTC in Should I open a Money Market Saving Account?
Originally posted by SBTlauien Is there any downside to online banks?
The downside is not having a bank you can go to. Not a huge deal because you make transfers to other banks and institutions when needed, but it can make it more difficult to deposit cash and anything else you’d want to do in person.
Also, online banks are good for savings accounts, but not always checking accounts. Some don’t even offer checking accounts, and it could be harder to get a debit card, but I assume that’s not a deal breaker because money market accounts are the same.
A good option could be to do your checking at a local bank or credit union and savings at an online bank.

Back to the topic, SBT needs a better bank. -

Originally posted by SBTlauien How are these so much higher though? There must be something I'm missing.
What I'm looking at is a bank that is listing the APY as 0.05% and the Interest Rate as 0.05%. The banks in your link are listing the APY as like 1.95%.
Could they both be listing it differently?
Nope, you’re just looking at a crappy bank. You need to shop around. You’ll almost always find a better interest rate at an online bank than you will at a brick and mortar bank, which could be a factor. I’m currently getting 1% in my checking account (yep, just a straight checking account) and it’s a brick and mortar bank. I use a local bank - local banks and credit unions are usually better than nation-wide banks. -
2018-10-24 at 4:09 AM UTC in Should I open a Money Market Saving Account?Also, at least do the 401(k) up to the match. Nowhere else will you get an immediate 100% return on your money.

2018-10-24 at 4:07 AM UTC in Should I open a Money Market Saving Account?0.04% APY? No. With rates today, you should be getting nearly 2% and it will only increase from there. Examples:

Also, never pay a fee for a bank to hold your money. They should be paying you because your money is making them money. -

2018-10-13 at 4:14 PM UTC in We kinda got to resurrect Totse (the text files)As I said, it’s not that there is no platform. It’s that no one here has anything to say. Or as Lanny put it, “To be honest the main reason we don't host text files here is no one actually submits text files. If someone wants to put forward so much content that my simple CMS doesn't support it well I can expand pretty quickly at that point. The reality is that, as far as I've been able to tell, no one has anything to say that makes sense to present as part of NiS content.”
Those who do have something to say won’t bother putting it here. NiS is for shitposting. Anything worth being remotely associated with the word “publish” deserves to be published about anywhere else. Not saying it’s necessarily a bad thing. Just saying a gold-plated turd is still a turd. -

Since there is no CMS here, upload it to Dropbox or something similar and link to it. The past forums you remember used the articles content management system that comes packaged in vbulletin, but it doesn’t really matter how it’s packaged. If it does matter to you, then you’re part of the problem. -

2018-10-10 at 11:28 PM UTC in We kinda got to resurrect Totse (the text files)What’s the problem again? The platform is not the problem, it’s the drivel spewing from your fingertips. Be the change you want to see. Even with “text files,” actions speak louder than words.
Also, pro tip, PDFs are better than .txt. They preserve formatting and, believe it or not, can contain text.
