Of course when I broke the surface I was relieved that I was not dead, but I can’t say I was troubled by the thought.

Written by a Brit, though. (And a friend of mine, actually!)

I’ve had targeted ads appear (typically about a day later) after a spoken-word ONLY conversation that’s taken place in the vicinity of my laptop. It’s creepy as fuck.

Thanks so much for the info! For now, I’m probably just looking to see what better options I might have with the two providers I’m already actively with (Chase and Capital One), and seeing what I can do with either one. The bills tip is definitely a good one!

My current two active cards are with Capital One and Chase, so yeah, I’m definitely going to look into what better offerings either bank might have these days... I (fortunately) don’t have a significant number of monthly bills to move from checking to a credit card, but doing so with any of them couldn’t hurt, so I’ll…

Which is inSAAANE. In the amazing way, I mean. They’re so cool.

Same! They’re really fascinating creatures (and not just because they’re about the closest organism we can study that’s basically alien in how different it is from any other we know of), but that has always puzzled me. They seem to demonstrate a lot more cognitive aptitude and problem-solving ability than would imply…

+1 (!)

I had the same thought. Like, damn, most of you have access to whatever clothes you want and a makeup artist. There’s no excuse for being this basic!
