Heeey, can an adult help me with this dumb banking thing?
I have a direct debit setup for my internet bill. Cancelled internet a few months ago, preeetty sure I'm past the extra month of service they squeezed out of me. Should I delete the direct debit now? It's not gonna suddenly take more cash if the ISP doesn't demand it, right?
Guy mentioned refunding me the extra days from my final month (IE, they charge me for one last month, but any day after the 30 days after I cancelled gets refunded...) - can they refund me if I cancel the direct debit?
I feel like I should know this stuff at age 26, but...
The whole purpose of direct debits is that you can cancel them at any time. If you still owe money then they'll tell you that they tried to take the payment but it failed, and tell you that you need to pay by other means.
They can still refund you even if you cancel the direct debit.

they should just stop billing you when you cancel, you shouldn't have to cancel anything with your bank
though i dunno if things are different over there?
are you still over there?
also yeah they can still refund you the difference, but i also don't understand why you'd cancel the direct debit on your end anyway so
final answer i unno man
haha yeah the american system you don't set up or authorize direct debits
you give 'em your bank account # and bank's routing # and then they can do whatever they want until the end of time
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
spool would you like to harness your latent physic abilities?
I could send you fake job offer emails until you hated me to death

The worst trivia is this damn mobile game called "Trivia Crack". Not only do they try to shoehorn micro-transactions into it, but the questions are submitted by the players themselves (and vetted by the community at large), so the only challenging questions are things that reference exact dates of specific events (which are rote memorization). If "All of the Above" or "None of the Above" ever appears, that is ALWAYS the correct answer, because people are just goddamn terrible at writing trivia questions.
The only reason that I played this is that it had an Apple Watch app, so it was mildly amusing to play it on my wrist every so often. I deleted it after about a week when I couldn't take the stupidity of the trivia questions. "Which one of these isn't a Disney Princess?" "What is the chemical composition of Water?" "In American Football, you throw one of these:" (All actual questions. The last one literally had "Football", "Hockey Puck", "Soccer Ball", and "Basketball" as answers)

Jesus titty fucking Christ. I just spoke with a recruiter that called me earlier. He's describing the role and halfway through I'm thinking "shit. This sounds familiar" so I ask "is this at SMBC?"
"..."
Yeah I interviewed for this position months ago. Another recruiter got mad at me for not realizing that she was submitting me for the same position.
Since then two more recruiters have called me for this position.
The recruiter was concerned. He was all "dude... What happened? You are perfect for this. This listing was practically written with you in mind."
"Fuck it. Who did you interview with? I'm going to see if I can't get you in there/find out why they passed"
You should for sure go work for Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal

Did you tell your bank "Send ISP this amount on this day every month" or did you give the ISP your banking information and tell them to debit an amount on this day every month?
I thought it was the former, but logging in and scrolling swiftly down past my saddening balance to get at the direct debits says it was last sent out on the 19th Feb, so over 4 weeks back. Guess it's fine! ;D

Transforming.
I really need it to happen.
I think "Mayor of Toronto" has, at least, some clout.

eh
it's likely to do with the contrast
like, i have to imagine people are working on a lot of white screens (excel, email, the rest of the internet)
so the new scheme folds pretty seamlessly into it

It was great. Very great melee.

2 sodas: 5 dollars
1 dessert or appetizer: 6 dollars
Tax plus tip: 30%
Total: 53 dollars and 30 cents.
Not really sure how that's absurd.
