My daughter helped a relo out with his banking because he freaked out a bit. She says to me "Mum, he doesn't know how banking works but he knows how to get on Tinder". I couldn't stop laughing. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Very nsfw language, likely triggering for anyone uncomfortable with meth'd up sexual frustration.

I was chatting to someone the other day and they go "i'm no good with computers!" and I was like "huh. looks like you got an iphone there champ" and they go "oh yeah I can use an iphone just fine". Ok so its not that your no good with computers its that you dont want to be.

The thing with computers is if you don't use them all the time then you forgot how to do shit.

I can show you how to do a crochet stitch and a week later ask you to do it again and you'd probably fail. Repetition is what's needed to remember stuff.

Also, you get used to things then they change it all in the upgrades. Boo!

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yes and then there's a little second of panic.

Eh, there are levels. Once upon an Mac+ i'd play with ResEdit. Not touching whatever the equivalent is now, too big a jump.

well, banking is made to be difficult so you don't lose your money

merchant banking is made to be as easy possible so you will spend your money
