I live in the US. I use a credit card for all my purchases because not only does it shift liability from my money to the bank's money, it also pays me a % in the form of cash back and I pay it off in full every month to avoid any interest charges. It's extremely important that my credit card balance is never higher than my checking and savings combined to ensure I really can pay it off in full.

I get the joke. However, I just want to point out that in the later series, red signified command and someone important. When I wear my Commandar Riker costume, I don't appreciate the comments about the red shirt and being expendable.

If you look at overall worldwide poverty and starvation numbers, coupled with medical advancements and indoor plumbing, now is a pretty good time to be a human. Yes, there are lots of problems, but the standard of living (for the average person) has gotten so much better in the last 200 years

Damn. Prolonged sitting while listening to loud music outside in the sun and using using off label drugs is one of my favorite past-times

Who the fuck thought it would be a good idea to appoint the head of an oil company as climate talks chief?

This is scary because it could be exploited very easily by bad actors and is a huge invasion of privacy

Why is Microsoft announcing this and not Sony? I'm skeptical

I have seen several of my image posts (and several other posters pictures) become turned sideways after posting even though the image is right side up before posting. How do I ensure my image won't get rotated once posted?
