It's very convenient that we can just get food delivered by using an app, but is anyone else having little flashbacks to the people in the WALL-E movie? I feel kind of like that's what we're doing

A few days ago I was commenting this with a colleague, I feel that little by little we are turning into those people and I think it is very bad.

idk i feel like maybe we're still a LITTLE far from having space cruises where our lives are carefully dictated by a rogue AI but maybe that's just me

that's kind of the end goal tho no? make everything as convenient as possible with as little effort as possible

I definitely see your point about the WALL-E movie. I feel like we're becoming lazier and more reliant on technology, which isn't necessarily a good thing.

I don't think that using apps to get food delivered is necessarily a bad thing, but I can see how it might be seen as a bit dystopian. After all, it does kind of feel like we're living in a world where everyone is reliant on machines to do everything for them.

far as i can tell, it's still a person bringing me the food. ordering delivery is nothing new is it?

I feel kind of like that's what we're doing. We're relying on technology to do everything for us, and sometimes I worry that we're becoming too reliant on it.

but that's what we developed technology for no? to make our lives easier? should we just stop?

The convenience would be great if we were using that extra time for doing things we love. However, at least for me, it just keeps me focused on work.

I just heard recently that if you refinance and your house appraises at 20% more than the amount owed, you can remove PMI. Is this correct? Getting a divorce and trying to keep the house but moving from a VA to a traditional loan and would rather not pay PMI if I don’t have to. House was purchased for $460k no money down (VA loan), refinanced at $450k to lower payments $400/month, now have $430k left on the loan... would it have to appraise for $516k?
