I also like how in the US the concepts of "free internet banking" and "direct debit" do not exist and instead if you tell your bank to do pay a bill online they will charge you, print out a cheque and send the cheque to the company who then has to cash it in at their bank.
The retardom is stunning.
o_O
this isn't what happens
Yeah, this is not a thing that goes on. I have free online banking, free direct deposit and free online bill pay. And actually, since I use all those services, the bank doesn't have to print anything out for me at all and I am rewarded with a 4% interest rate on my checking account balance.
Actually, this does happen. It happens less than it used to as most major payees are set up for direct electronic deposit, but if you need to pay a bill to a payee that isn't set up for it, what Daxon describes (cutting a physical check by mail) is exactly what will happen.

For the "Where you live sucks, too" thread I was looking for the English name of a plant from which you make butter and oil, because where I used to live we had whole fields of those and it would smell like festering corpses during fall.
Turns out that they're called "rape".
So where I used to live we have fields of rape that smell like festering corpses.
In a bizarre move, The Pirate Bay, the world’s largest BitTorrent tracker, is partnering with social dating site Meezoog to launch an online dating site PirateDate.com, to take on Match.com, Zoosk and others.
The Pirate Bay, which has had a tumultuous year, is launching a dating network around sharing. PirateDate will allow singles to share and assist their social connections in finding potential dates, while getting recommendations and referrals from their friends. Pirate Date is utilizing Meezoog’s technology to provide users with “social proximity” measurements, that allow people to efficiently filter their cyber connections.
According to the site, personal information added by members is immediately visible to their friends (through Facebook connect), encouraging users to be honest with their information. Pirate Date’s ‘Social Radius’ technology exposes members to singles who are socially connected to them, as well as displays how they are connected. The site will also share users’ ‘Trust Paths’ to every member, showing people’s social graph. And the site’s ‘Social Proximity Gauge’, calculates how close you are to people you find interesting on Pirate Date.
It’s unclear who would actually want to join this site considering the Pirate Bay’s brand. It seems more oriented towards men than women, considering the homepage of Pirate Date includes a picture of an attractive woman in a pirate’s costume. And why would you join this site over Match.com, E-Harmony or others that already have a considerable user base?

A friend of mine discovered the existence of rapeseed oil last year.
He enjoyed himself with rape puns for a fucking month.

I use checks to pay my rent and to move money between accounts at different banks.
online banking is a lot easier for doing the latter
One of my banks charges for that.
The other one doesn't do it at all.
Weird. My bank doesn't charge at all. They actually encourage me to do it every time I head down. I just haven't signed up because my bank's in a really convenient location (I pass it several times a day on the way to class). I'd think all banks would be like that, because it's easier and cheaper for everyone, the bank included.

*edit* I mean, I think mine might if I try to move something like $100k but that hasn't been a problem so far.
well there was a part where i went to the post office to have my postal money order redeemed and they're like "we don't have enough cash, sorry, go to [only post office open past 5 in my part of the city]"
which is like 2 miles away and it's kind of sweltering out
but fuck it, i walk there and get caught in a spring/summer rain to compensate
then it gets roasting again which thankfully starts to dry me off but still it's fucking hot
then this super high lady hassles me because i won't give her any money
then the dudes at the post office start getting mad about how "they shouldn't refer you to other post offices! it's not their right to send you here!" or some shit, i guess they don't like paying out so much cash and being low on change. like they're griping like it's my fault
or
oh wait
do you mean the part where the two dudes on the bus randomly tried to jump me?

TD for checking, Shorebank for online savings, and Vanguard for investments.
Most of my bills are paid with a direct transfer from my bank. None of them charge a fee.

But yay working out! I'm too lazy to hit a gym, so I'm just doing a few basic exercises around the apt (100 pushups and 200 situps, specifically).
any places in southern california for that?
