On a similar note, almost all airlines recently increased every fee.

Of course you can't type quickly. Your fat, greasy fingers get in the way.

I'm confused. Cartwheels aren't gendered, nor particularly sexy or pander-y.

Discount Codes (General)

I really doubt Half Life 3 has even been worked on seriously.

HA! Spoken like someone who has has never been to the middle east. Most women out there can't even fathom being treated as fairly as they are treated here and in a lot of cases it's not even an idea yet, meaning the equal rights of both genders is such an alien thought that people except gender inequality as a product…

All people who've been Doxxed for supporting Gamergate. We'll never see an article about them.

>Blaming people.
>Not just blaming the one person who sent the letter.

Who exactly are you trying to lump in by claiming the letter writer was a "people"?

Don't you mean WTF person/man/woman? Singular?

Unless you are going to try and roll together a lot of other people into that letter?

Are you implying that the only bomb threats that are publicized are about gamers or Sarkeesian? You can't really be that dumb.

I honestly don't believe this. Like seriously, I don't believe it. I don't know if I've just been blind, but when has this happened for any other activists for any other kind of media? Why is it only games? Why is it only her?

Buying bottom-dollar goods or services that you end up having to redo or replace, thus costing you more.

It sounds like your father has the "thrill of the deal" syndrome. I love to find a great deal, but restraint is just as important.

My favorite is the "cash back" card fools that end up spending a lot more and not paying it off within the grace period so they end up spending 20X their "cash back" on interest.

My comment about coupons isn't about the time it takes, but rather that it leads to buying things you normally would not have bought simply because they are a good deal. That's why they make coupons—because you will actually spend more.

#1, above all: DO NOT BE FRUGAL ON SAFETY. If your car needs new tires, get good ones that you can trust. Don't just automatically get the cheapest thing. If you have had a night out and you can't drive (or you don't feel safe to walk home), call a cab. I grew up in a relatively frugal household, but my dad always…

Moving by yourself instead of hiring movers. After years of staunchly refusing to pay for movers and making my sainted husband miserable, I finally relented and it's been such a good decision. No more being mean, sore, dirty, cussing... I just waltz around and tell the movers where to put stuff. A few hundred bucks is…

Unplugging wall warts when they're not in use. They probably cost a few cents a year to leave plugged in.

Buying Used

Going out of your way to get gas because it is cheaper across town.

As with everything there is an XKCD comic that describes this perfectly.

but your 200wpm handwritten is illegible to anyone who doesn't know shorthand. =)
