You cannot budget your way out of poverty. "Financial literacy" is just capitalists kicking the can down the road.

“Buy now pay later” has been around for at least a decade. It wasn't ubiquitous like it is now though. I knew things were bad when I went to pay for 2 pairs of shorts and they asked me if I wanted to stagger the payments. The total cost was $40.

It makes sense when it comes to what you ingest also and your environment. Say you have allergies to particular elements, pollen for example.

Not bad advice at all.

Listen to your body as in observe your body and how it responds to activity, certain foods, medications and environments. That's good advice. There are many bad doctors out there.

Get a dog.

Tinker with electronics.

Play and listen to music.

Find people going through the same as you. Universities are full of homesick people.

Be grateful for the peace that comes with solitude and embrace it.

I'm okay with USB-C and a headphone jack on my laptop. The other shit is for the birds.

I haven't purchased any cheap wireless headphones, certainly not that cheap but the wireless headphones that cost $300 sound significantly worse than a pair of wired headphones that cost half as much, sometimes even less. Same for the earbuds, they tend to sound bad and aren't as comfortable.

I have never had that issue with a jackplug. Wireless headphones mean stuttering connection and one more thing with batteries that you need to manage. Also, most of the wireless headphones that I've tried have much smaller cups than the wired variety. I haven't found a pair of wireless in-ears that are as comfortable as my preferred IEMs. In general, they might be okay for movies but not for music with an overemphasis on bass that I hate. The few options that don't sound bad are wildly overpriced.

 

A UK citizen has been sentenced to three months in jail in Dubai after “insulting” airport staff who were slow to bring his mother a wheelchair.

The unnamed man was originally issued a Dh 10,000 (£2,150) fine, but his appeal against this failed and his punishment was extended to a jail term on 6 November.

An airport employee told the court that the man swore at her after she had explained the airport’s wheelchair policy to him, telling him that “a wheelchair would be made available before boarding the bus”.

“When I tried to explain it to him, he insulted me using very bad language. I told the traveller that using such offensive language is not allowed at Dubai airport but he responded that he didn’t care.”

The employee then called the police, and a case was filed against the man in Dubai’s Criminal Court. Following an appeal, which he lost, the fine was escalated into a jail sentence, followed by immediate deportation.
