paul carruthers Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 If I ever carry cash on me, it's usually no more than 40 bucks.... Maybe this is the old man coming out of me, but I remember the days when a big bag of chips was less than 2 dollars... 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you strictly credit card/apple pay/virtual currency now? I never use debit cards or any of the apple pay or paypal stuff. I'm fine with using credit cards as those offer me the best protection against fraud, but I realize some people are not good at managing their credit card use. I don't own a smart phone and never will. I have a plain old flip phone with no aps or other crap. All of that stuff is about tracking you and selling your information. Getting people to pay with a smart phone ap is Orwellian stuff. This is EXACTLY how in China the government tracks and evaluates citizens on their behavior. It is about controlling you.

I am an analog kid in an increasingly indifferent digital world. I still carry cash on me and prefer to make most of my day-to-day purchases with cash. It is still legal tender and United States currency...at least the last I heard it was. Edited May 8, 2022 by Strider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still legal, but it is going away fast. I like cash because I can get better service by tipping upfront sometimes. You know like in Goodfellas... But not like Henry Hill level service--- usually at the donut shop with special requests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 So there I was at Pink's last night, having some chili dogs with pals after going to the movies at the New Beverly Cinema. There was a boisterous group at the next table and we were trying to ascertain what it was that had them in such a goofy state. Then we figured it out...they were putting drops of liquid LSD on their dogs and daring others to take a bite. WTF! 😮 I can't imagine frying on acid and having to take a chili dog shit at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
