Very related, but the song that was played over every retirement, graduation, and other big life event photo montage for about 3 years was literally called "Good Riddance" lmao

On top of that, I swear the UI changes 1-2 times per year with software updates. It's hard to pinpoint since I'm usually 90% asleep when interacting with the alarm, but I know it has changed from tap to swipe and switched sides at least once since I got my last phone in 2022.

There is absolutely no reason for that shit. If you look at an old school alarm clock, the snooze button is the size of a small country, and there is usually a much smaller button or sliding switch to make damn sure you meant to turn the alarm off.

I have no memory of this as a kid, but even as a grown-ass mid 40s adult, it's weirdly ominous and unsettling. Wtf were they thinking?

To add to this, if you compare a dresser (or table or whatever) at ikea to a piece of the same price range from pretty much anywhere else, it's almost absurd how much better quality the IKEA piece will be. Or maybe it's more accurate to say it's absurd how crappy the non-IKEA piece will be.

Seriously, go to a furniture store and look at the drawer construction and hardware on a $1000 dresser and compare that to a $400 IKEA dresser.

There is definitely some garbage at the bottom of their price ranges, but their mid range stuff is generally a solid value.

I have this exact puzzle!

The small differences actually make it fun to put together, and my spouse and I both enjoyed it!.

This, but needs a splash of hot sauce (preferably cholula) to really set it off!

Honestly there is enough rage bait everywhere else, so it's nice to have a place to commiserate over the truly petty annoyances in life.

Yeah, this is only mildly infuriating!

That's legit the best use of what-we're-currently-calling-AI I've heard all week.

Yeah you're right. "Could be gone forever" is probably more accurate. I imagine most banks would give you a bit of leeway, just like most CCs aren't going to hold you liable for the first $50 like they technically could.

But at the same time, that money is gone immediately from your account, so if a sizable amount gets debited it could put you in a pickle until/if they refund it.

OP also didn't specify which type of debt. Twice your annual salary in CC debt, ehhh not so great. Twice your annual salary in a mortgage + student loans + car loan actually sounds like a pretty typical situation, if not a bit frugal. That's a person making 100k with a 4yr degree from a public univeristy, living in a 150k house, and driving a usedToyota.

To add to this, if your debit card is used fraudulently, that money is gone from your bank account forever. If your credit card is used fraudulently, you are on the hook for maximum $50, and in my experience it has always been $0.

I have had fraudulent charges show up on a CC about once every 2-3 years. In each case, the worst hassle is waiting a few days for a new card to arrive. That alone is enough for me to never use a debit card unless absolutely necessary.
