Whoa there, Thinskin McTinydick. Taking things a wee bit personally, aren’t we? No one is implying that “reply guys” are all assholes. Just that it can get a bit repetitive and annoying when you’re subjected to the same kinds of unhelpful, unfunny replies on a regular basis. “Here’s some things I noticed about the…

I like this movie a lot. It’s not doing anything revolutionary, but it goes down smooth.

Why do you assume that everyone in Dave Ramsey’s audience is in financial difficulty of some kind? Evangelical churches push everyone to take his courses and read his books and I’ve personally known people who were very comfortable financially and had no real debt other than a house who took one of his seminars and…

I know that quote’s not from you. It’s from the article we’re commenting on. [facepalm]

What I do not know is whether Ramsey has ever said that buying with cash is cheaper

You’re completely missing the point. “Everyone should buy a new car with 0% interest” is the opinion part of my statement. Whether “they all come with free oil changes and a new set of tires after 36 months” or not isn’t an opinion. That’s either factually true or it’s not. By that same regard, when Dave Ramsey says…

Buying a new car almost never makes financial sense

If an event happens sometimes, but you state that it happens every time, that makes you a liar.

He’s making the case for his opinion using incorrect facts. I could say “everyone should buy 0% interest new cars because they all come with free oil changes and a new set of tires after 36 months,” but that would be a lie.

Interesting. I’ll keep that in mind for next time.

2020 is finally looking up.

Agreed. It struck me as the right kind of messy as well.

Thanks for not making this a slideshow. 

The reactions to mother! were mixed, but a lot of people liked it a whole lot, not just Scorsese. I happen to think it’s both good and singular and I’m pretty sure Scorsese did as well or he wouldn’t have praised it. Though I think it’s super weird to classify it as a horror movie.

I can understand why someone would not enjoy Midsommar and mother!, but I can’t understand how you can watch those films and not see what others love about them and go so far as to think that someone loving both of them means they don’t “get” horror as a genre.

And that somehow makes your subjective opinion more correct than Scorsese’s as well as all the film critics and general moviegoers who loved both of those films? Frankly, I find the very idea that people either do or don’t “get” horror to be childish gatekeeping. Genre classifications can be a useful, but at the end…

Well, I have assassinated six lieutenant governors, so it definitely could be the latter.

For some reason, I’ve always owed money to my state no matter my employer. I get more back from the fed than I owe to the state, so it’s not a huge deal, but it’s weird.

I use TaxAct, which does the same thing. Every year it gets more expensive and more things that used to be included in the free tier are locked behind one of the premium tiers. Though it’s never truly been free for those of us who live in states with an income tax.

I’ve done our taxes as early as February, but I’ve also procrastinated until the last minute. It depends on the year. This year was a procrastination year. Which is stupid. It’s not like I was dreading paying money or anything. We always get money back. I finally did them over the weekend and it took like half an hour…
