    And there’s no recompense or tracking if someone robs you or it gets stolen, it’s error-prone and slow (especially people who insist on giving exact fucking change…)

          Yeah, my credit card is just a buffer for my actual cash. I buy. Something happens, maybe a defective product, and merchant is being a piece of shit, I just disoure that shit. With cash, that’s it, you are done.

          That being said, here I am, new cars in the mail because somehow it was compromised and someone wanted to buy some junk in Ohio I guess. So there’s definitely the inconvenience associated with that. But when young Dozzi92 was an idiot and lost his wallet, carda get replaced, but missing cash is missing cash.

            Yep. And my Apple Card rotates its number automatically so even if my number is stolen it just vanishes after a while. Technology!
