YNAB is a budgeting program, they call it You Need A Budget. I understand it’s popular, but maybe not so popular an acronym to provide such little context for it.

I support the intent behind the community, free alternatives for an american app seems like a noble cause. I worry that limiting its association to a single app hidden behind an acronym that you would have to be familiar with to know what it is will probably limit its reach.

FreeBudgetApps, BudgetingApps, PersonalFinanceApps, ManageYourMoney, BudgetSoftware, EnvelopeBudgets - in my opinion any of these would be a better name with wider reach

The one I use is called Firefox

Jokes aside, they do not have an official app. There is an unofficial one on the play store, and they have a public API so maybe someone might make one down the line

“Let’s make litter out of these literati!”

“That’s too clever, you’re one of them!” POW!

Like so much of the simpsons, lives rent free in my head

I’m here to plug TMDB. It does everything I want from IMDB without being owned by Amazon

I used to suffer from a lot of existential dread. Like, not sleeping because time spent sleeping was bringing me closer to the time I’d no longer exist.

Whether you worry about it or you don’t, some day you will stop existing. Worrying about it frankly doesn’t help. In fact, it detracts from the dubious pleasure of existing. In my experience, not having fun existing makes me no longer want to exist.

A lot of people advocate for distraction, although personally I think that’s just a temporary escapism. I think we need to confront our eventual non-existence, accept it as a fact of life, and then move on by trying to find meaning in what we have left. Way easier said than done.

CBT is a school of therapy about restructuring our thoughts, and it has a lot to say about confronting the fear of the unknown. Cultivating spiritualism and religion is a traditional way of approaching the problem, although I’d encourage people to seek out and learn what other cultures are saying instead of blindly accepting what their parents’ church says.

Personally, I had a religious experience while accidentally tripping balls on psychedelics. I’m not sure I’d specifically recommend that, it could just as easily backfire, but it helped me and you can find lots of testimonials with a similar story. Maybe it’s better to start with therapy and religion

I think bringing the cart to the corral is the bare minimum, and generally people will try to get away with the minimum for most tasks and social obligations. If you don’t at least bring it to the corral you’re deranged, but beyond that I’d rather a job is done half-assed than not at all.

If I get to the corral and there’s two or three loose carts I’ll stack them with mine. If there’s six or seven I won’t fix them all but I’ll still be as neat as I can.

If the store has different sized carts, this is always a bigger problem. People generally are uncoordinated at figuring that out.

My grocer has one of those schemes where the carts are unlocked by putting a coin in them, and you get the coin back when you return the cart. It works pretty well for keeping things tidy.

Temporarily out of stock

Rest in piss, racist trash

I used to like Dilbert

“Inadvertently” does a lot of heavy lifting here. I believe the intentions behind people’s actions usually matter more than the outcome. This probably doesn’t scale well to large organizations or government, but on the individual level it goes pretty far.

Now that said, the feeling of betrayal from a loved one probably hurts more than from an enemy: from an enemy it’s expected. Although I suppose your enemy is motivated to hurt you more grievously than your loved ones are
