    This is what my Android looks like. You can even make it automatically open the keyboard to type app names. It searches the settings too. The top row is most recently opened I guess, but apart from that it’s alphabetical. Does Apple not know how to alphabetize?



  • I can tell you right now, the vast majority of Americans do not think about money in this way. They are not using the American dollar because it’s “safe” but because it’s convenient and easy. And that’s not even to say they’re lazy, needing to transfer money to buy groceries is expensive. And you may be thinking that you mean retirement funds and savings, not everyday money. Ava, viewing it like that is extremely out of touch with the average American. Most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. It’s why you may hear many poor rural folks talk about gas prices the way you hear upper middle class folks and the media talk about stock prices.

    All that to say, I think they trust it, but I also don’t think they’re thinking about it from that perspective. I don’t think many Americans have the luxury of thinking about it from that perspective.

    Even me personally, the money I have in retirement savings is in stocks. I’ll move some to bonds as I age. I have some money in a savings account that has a nice interest rate but that’s really more of a buffer for my checking account. I only recently got a credit card so the idea of using credit more aggressively for short comings like some of my peers do is still a little nerve wracking, but regardless, it’s not something I’d even consider having in a different currency because I need quicker access to it.





  • This whole kerfuffle really irks me. The police did something wrong. They got called out on it. Then they sued. It’s vindictive and horrible. And you fucking KNOW that if he sued them instead of making the song it very likely wouldn’t have gone anywhere and they’d get to wave their qualified immunity all over. But that wasn’t enough for them. They just couldn’t stand someone besmirching their perfect name.

    The sheer irony of this whole thing is that I had forgotten. I imagine many of you did too if you even saw those videos he made after it happened a few months back. They totally Streisand effected (Streisand affected? lol) themselves. Absolutely disgusting to see them sue him over this. Very glad he won.
