  I guess it depends on what you call it. I’ve seen creditors that have autopay features that can draft it from your bank accounts each month. Usually those are for your minimum payment, which usually stretch out your balance for up to 30 years (to maximize interest charges).

  I personally don’t like autopay. It’s an old habit from back when I would overdraft my checking on the regular because I always spent more than I made. Nowadays, I think it’s because I like the responsibility/control of paying my bills manually, and on my terms.

  If you can pay your statement balance on time, then there is no “+ extra money”.

  ~That is often much easier said than done.~

  Dude, this is more of an !asklemmy@lemmy.world thing. Now a shower thought.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we produce so much porn?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Very valid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we produce so much porn?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Porn and sex work itself aren’t bad, and are natural extensions of our human condition.

  The shameful parts are the people who create sex trafficking rings, child/incest porn, and porn that imitates child/incest porn. There’s probably more shameful uses of porn, as we are also a degenerate society in a lot of respects.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LG responds swiftly to user backlash, will allow users to remove Microsoft Copilot link from TVs — clarifies service is not an app, future update will include tile removal option from WebOS⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For clarification: they will only remove the tile, not the copilot app. They state it’s non-removable, and say it’s not a service that runs.

  However, my concern is what is to stop Microsoft (or LG) from enabling it in the future?

  Slop comment aside, a lot of people with ADHD listen to videos at 1.5x or more speed because that’s how their brain works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you didn't vote, the current state of things is partially your fault⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This, and First Past the Post.

  People treating complex problems like they have binary solutions are myopic in their views. If it were as simple as just voting out the bad guys, we’d be in a whole different world right now, and things pike Project 2025 would not exist.

  There is no simple solution, and voting is — by itself — not the solution.

  I haven’t used Twitter in so many years (long before that shithead stepped through the doors holding a sink). 🤷‍♂️

  Those comments. 🤮

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shut up science!!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am not smart enough to come to my own conclusions about a lot of science, so yes I must believe what the collective scientific community asserts, because I have no other way to prove things that happen. For me, that means putting my faith in their accuracy. So yes, I believe in science.

  It should also be noted that there are people out there that treat science as a religion; that it is infallible, and cannot be changed, and to suggest otherwise is blasphemy. 🤷‍♂️

  Don’t forget AI, for a toilet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where is heart?!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but the earth provides many nutrients required that cannot be obtained by air and water alone. That’s why farmers have to rotate crops often.

  Everybody give Spinosaurus a hand for having a good run. It took balls to see through the lies everyone was saying about T-Rex being Super Saiyan.

  Earth? Wood comes from trees and other plants that both grow from the earth, and decompose back into the earth.

  What if… hear me out… we pipe straight up into space, and then use a 90° bend to angle the remaining pipe to the sun. Shouldn’t Be too difficult, but I bet those plumbers would charge an expensive ass trip fee.

  I can’t help but feel Douglas was poking fun at himself, considering how his editors had to lock him in a room to finish So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Native Americans?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ths might be an over generalization, but it’s my layman’s understanding that all Native American and Latino people migrated over from Europe-Asia; some went south and colonized Mexico and Central America, while others went to Canada and also the US. So if that’s true, then I would imagine they’d have some shared lineage.
