“A standard 3% fee applies when sending money using a credit card. The fee is waived for Authorized Merchant Payments, Venmo balance, bank accounts and debit cards so they are free to use.” - from the Settings page of Venmo.

Get two debit cards for your checking account and link those instead, it’ll work. 

Free felons should be allowed to vote. You served your time, so you have your rights restored. It’s as simple as that.

You may be a prime candidate for a Charge card then - I’m a big fan of my amex platinum. I have 3 cards today:

This is obvious, and this trend will continue as long as money continues to buy votes, along with the systemic disenfranchisement of poor people. Voter suppression, from outright suppression to more insidious means (keeping voting to only one day, not making it mandatory to allow citizens to vote, making it harder to…

Politics, for as divisive as it can be domestically, has always generally stopped at the water’s edge. There are warhawks and non-interventionists on both sides, for very different reasons.

I will eat 3-4 Sausage McGriddles, a large coffee, and a large ice water to get rid of a hangover. In college, I didn’t eat because I was nauseous, and it prolonged my hangovers. Today, it’s all about getting food in me ASAP and keeping it down.

I’ll take an ungreying, if possible. While my reasoned takes are best suited for a HamNo post on Splinter, I have strong emotions about foods, and am likely to post while hungry at my desk.

My office has a sludge machine. There are these....bags of extremely concentrated coffee sludge, and you press a button and either get coffee or espresso, I guess?

Move to Florida! The closer you get to the equator, the closer your days are to a 12/12 split of daytime and nighttime.
