Learning to play mahjong just to see animated nips, those were the days

UUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHH 3 years seems mad light for what basically amounts to trafficking

Assuming you’ve already included George Martin, you got three choices, really.

Yeah that’s part of what I love about them, you can go deep and get perfect type matches and min/max and EV training and all that, but if all you want to do is play the game you can just pick six monsters who look cool to you and win. It’s not that hard.

I wanted my pokemon to have a “popular people from the UK” naming convention” and my wife suggested name my mains after The Beatles. But who’s the sixth? Help!

To be fair, the only reason he has a thousand enemies is because everyone thinks his final evolution is Fire/Fighting.

That’s gonna be a no from me, dawg. A few cool shots aside, I’m not keen on the look.

Total noob question:  Why are there always two versions of the game?  Red & Blue, Gold & Silver, now Sword & Shield.  Are they two different games?  Are the stories or gameplay different?  Why two?  WHY TWO??

Car insurance is also more expensive overall if you pay on a monthly basis rather than every six or twelve months.

I’d go back and read that entire section, and perhaps check out the linked post in that section.

That’s a huge generalization and oversimplification in the first place, but there’s a great book that addresses your point. It’s a really eye-opening read: Scarcity: why having too little means so much. It discusses decision-making (and other behaviors) when you have limited resources (both time and money). Side note:…

You certainly could with the car insurance example. A lot of carriers charge more for single people. I don’t know about college and banking, though? Of course, when you have a combined income and share a dwelling, most of your largest expenses are shared and considerably cheaper, so that makes sense.

We have always purchased what we love, and other crap.

Now, I put 100% of discretionary items on an Excel file (google docs works well for this) with the date I decided I wanted it. I then wait 30 days. If it makes the list, then it is something I really want and don’t feel guilty about buying it. It also ensures I…

I’m not arguing that higher quality items last longer, but I think the appropriation of the term investment itself gets the consumer to shift their thinking in a way that benefits the seller. Calling something “well made” or “built to last” doesn’t have the same connotation as the word “investment” and that is no…

I really like a philosophy Lifehacker shared some time ago... $1 per use. I abstract it slightly to “Greatest utils per $1”

Couldn’t have said it better.

I go through something similar whenever I have a bit of spending money. Everything I think of wanting to get, my mind comes up with reasons why I should get something else instead. About a decade ago, a friend said a single line to me that’s stuck with me ever since: “There will always be a reason not to buy…

My technique is to ask myself `will this purchase improve my quality of life’ and go for the big spend if the answer is yes. I started this back in the 6th grade when I spent all of my savings (17$) on devil sticks, which I reasoned I’d play with at lunch and on the walk to/from school every day. I’ve found it to be a…
