We could all use a healthy dose of skepticism with ads again. Their goal is to sell stuff, whether or not it fulfills a real need in your life.

What’s an example you’ve seen recently?

I’ll go first - “you don’t need to declutter/throw anything away this spring. Buy our storage units!”

I've seen ones like that here in the UK too. They're usually advertised with the line "use us as your spare room" (vu is usually the room that if you have it, you use for storing all your junk

Like bro, if I have a spare room, why would I pay for another one less convenient. And if I don't already, then I probably don't need the extra storage anyway.

Have an interesting scenario. Holiday party season is approaching. At one of our parties (during working hours) there is an optional “talent show.” Employees can win door prizes. We have an entry that is a religious song - like one you would sing in church. I assume we need to let this employee perform this - or we are setting ourselves up for trouble. Likewise, if we permit this song, I assume we cannot compel attendance to the talent show. The talent show is part of a lunch thing.

I didn't apply for a job that would have set me up for the future in the government. I wouldn't have to worry about money or future jobs. My boss had just given me a small pay rise and talked up the future and so I felt good. I now severely regret not applying for the job and cannot stop thinking about it to the point of insomnia and depression. I even contacted the employer but too late. It's a small town and rarely anything comes up. I hate myself and feel like I failed my family. :(

I always pay my balance in full each month and have never missed a payment, how is 8% credit utilization determined to be that big of a risk that my score got immediately wrecked, I don’t understand
