Kill yourself. Today Jastiger is declaring Fatwa's on those that don't have debit cards or only use cash.

Its 2015, and these things are literally FREE. You don't need a bank account, you don't need a credit card, you don't even need to leave the freakin' house. Its like the height of laziness and irresponsibility to refuse to participate in our economy and expect the red carpet from folk.

Aaaaaaand another thing. What the hell is it with people with absolutely no credit history, no insurance history, and tons of stuff in collections or whatever and then believing Obama or the NSA or whoever is coming for their info.

Yeah, Obama and Eric Holder wants to come and take over your trailer in Bumfuck, Kentucky, better not let anyone get your birthday EVER. But yeah, you just posted your entire work life on facebook and continuously google how to file registration numbers off of guns. But no, you've got one over on the government hiding our poo poo.

I grow weary of dealing with people that are just ridiculously obtuse, paranoid, and all around huge pain in my rear end. If you don't have a debit card and you're posting on the forums, you need to have an unplanned rapid dis-assembly right now.

You're hating on cash. :rolleyes:

Its not cash in and of itself. Its people that make major purchases ONLY with cash.

Like, how do you function. You literally can't use Amazon or most major retailers if you ONLY use cash. It means you're likely either unable or unwilling to balance a fuckin' checkbook, and are one lost wallet away from being on the street. Its just bad.

I just don't see how someone can, in any year after like, 2006, when Amazon and Ebay and all of these online directories that sell services from insurance to products like Real dolls can function in the world WITHOUT a form of paying for something remotely.

Oh yeah, I want to get that awesome new game online! WHERE DO I GO WITH MY CASH!? GTFO with that noise.

Awesome a Steam sale! Ok lemme get in my car, go to the ATM, withdraw money, go to the store, buy a steam gift card (AND PAY TAX ON IT), drive back home, input the code. OH NOES, I'm short a few bux, lets REDO THE ENTIRE THING AGAIN.

Or, grab the debit/credit card, punch in the numbers, DONE. There is literally no way cash is superior to plastic/electronic funds in 2015 for most major transactions. You cut yourself out of like 80% of the economy when you refuse to get a FREE Debit card.

Everyone needs to look at dad gay, so what's example. He paid with debit, left a good tip, and doesn't have to worry about mis counted change. SWIPE and DONE.

Like seriously this leads us to another topic. You go to the bar, and you're going to stay a while. YOu hand them your card and open a tab. DONE. If you're a cash fool you have to write down your drinks on some kind of pad like a caveman. Just give htem a debit card and have them tally it up at the end of the night. OH NOES you forgot it! FREE FROM THE BANK REPLACEMENT, FUCKER. You lose your cash, you're hosed.

Are poors allergic to direct deposit or something?

Did you not see the part where I acknowledged that they can open one, it just takes more effort. How loving stupid are you that you can't read my very nuanced post, kill you're famil.

CHRIST.


dad gay. so what posted:

i also usually have my card out before i get the tab because i like to be efficient and dont like chit chat if i have to look at the tab i probably shouldnt have been there in the first place.

The classy drinker, right here. Have your card ready.

Don't be all HUR HUR OH NOES LET ME GET OUT MY SWEATY STINKY CASH *Coins fall all over the floor* OH no I'm sorry, hang on let me pick all of that up *shits pants*

Re Tipping: If you have cash you can "run out" and not have enough for a tip, making you a tremendous rear end in a top hat. Avoid this by using plastic, sucka.

some people live a cash based life.

some people have cards and use them when appropriate, but aren't trying to swipe for an .89 candy bar. you should always carry some cash.

Pfft. The only time you need cash is at the Casino (Use hte ATM sucka), at the strip club, or at the farmers market or some disconnected area.

Everything else there is no reason you shouldn't at least have a debit card to make major transactions.

Its not even about credit or investing. Its about having the ability to budget and the self control to have access to your money and NOT spend it.

I just can't think of a situation where not having a FREE debit card on hand is more beneficial than operating in cash/relying on ATMs/paying for money orders.

why don't you calm down and have a nice Iowa Chop

I will, and I won't be rummaging through my wallet for a wad of sweaty cash to make the servers life harder. I'll swipe the card, write in a generous tip, and be on my way.

Honestly I can kind of understand having some on hand for small expenditures. I Just don't get folks that REFUSE to use a bank or have some kind of allergy to direct deposit.

NO NO I want to give 15% of my income to financial institutions in withdrawal charges, cash checking fees, money order fees, and handling fees! I am pulling a fast one on Big Brother!

Hmm op have you heard of bitcoin it is like money but it is backed by math instead of fraudulent fiat currency. It is easy to use and payments are instant and have no fees unlike your cave man debit cards

Bitcoin is stupid for the same reasons cash only is stupid. If you can't access your poo poo, you can't buy anything. ANd if you DO want to access it, grats on paying someone for t he HONOR of withdrawing your own money.

Its like thx for working here employee, we've deposited 5 bit coins into your account, good luck paying your rent idiot.

At least with plastic you have some recourse. Oh no dropped your wallet or misplaced a check? gently caress you pay me now.

Oh yeah lemme just literally call in my bills. While your punk rear end takes the bus and hopes there isn't a line. Lol.

It literally costs money to not have a bank account in today's world, more than it does to have one.

also what the gently caress are you saying in that post besides the last line

I'm saying people that refuse to get debit or credit or even checking accounts are intentionally hamstring ing themselves in today's modern market. They can't pay remotely, they rely on business hours, and there are far more things that can gently caress up a cash drop than a plastic card swipe.

oh yeah they would be dumb people. wow i thought you were saying debit cards/checking could do these things but CCs somehow lacked the ability for you to "pay remotely, they rely on business hours"

also it's very funny when u get mugged and hand over your wallet and theres no cash in that fucker lol im just gonna cancel the cards dummy better run home to buy some poo poo on amazon quick

The other thread made me come back to this one and I got mad all over again.

But you're right. Should have put this in OP. If you're mugged, plastic protects you. Should probably put "In Debit/Credit we trust (fees may apply) on our money.
