Discrete Cash

[RockNRollMachin]

Nothing wrong with judging people by your standards, nothing wrong with having standards, also nothing wrong with ignoring other people who don't share your standards.

I mean, when I first heard of 4-20 I was doing research, turns out it was the birthday of this fellow Adolf Hitler. Very compelling eyes. Painter, sure, decorated war vet, that's good, involved in politics, could be OK but then hold on, he hated Jews, I mean really hated Jews, the more I learned the less I cared for this guy, so yeah I am going to judge him and his moral compass. To the point where I was wanting to find and kill Hitler till I found out he was already dead. I didn't even know he was sick.

Also your last sentence implies there is no objective morality, and I am not referring to the moral laws of Lemmy, Chuck Norris and Morgan Freeman either. Basic logic and human decency tells us that what Paul Bernardo did is wrong, wrong as fuck.

Aha I like your style. I still believe that there's no such thing as objective morality. We may condone (or condemn in most cases) what someone else do based on an arbitrary moral framework (be it our legal system, our own moral compass, etc.), but that person may rightfully think that what he did was morally acceptable based on his own ethic principles. We are all independent beings, and as such, there's no "higher up" power or the likes to dictate us how to properly behave. We like to construct such artificial code of conduct, but that doesn't stop some members of our society to act differently while believing firmly that what they're doing is right.

The alternative is to believe that some individuals choose to act in a certain way out of pure evil, knowing very well that what they're doing is wrong. I'd rather have faith in humans, misguided some may be.

Cough cough, Justin Beiber cough cough. Oh wait, you said humans and not the First Evil, history''s greatest monster.

IMHO, We do certain actions so that we can tolerate our day-to-day life. Moral/evil, i don't like to go there. But, if I state a scenario where a girl meets the guy and so called 'fall in love' in a relationship NOT based on the physical beauty of him. Attraction can be triggered based on intelligence, perhaps even street-smart, soft-spoken, good hygiene, genuinely curious about each other, may be similar values too. But when you are together, you'll learn these qualities you desire only exist 70% of the time, the rest 30% is NOT evil, but lets say not soft-spoken, hurtful. Should you throw your relationship now? I would say, you try to compromise/forgive but you simply couldn't forget 30%. The memories can be instant killer when it's comes to intimacy. I get sometimes a guy can be lured into his SO when she's ovulating and forget the harsh memories. It's biology. But, for a girl there is no such thing. If you can't get over the bad memories, but you still hold your relationship over that 70%, its impossible to look into the eyes and kiss. The girl rather be with someone for a hour or so and just only indulge the moment knowing that there's no harsh memories. I'm sure, this strange guy might be 80% not compatible with the girl, but he never called her 'names'. It's just easier not to have BAD memories when you're intimate even if you don't know anything about the other person. I'll stop my ranting now

From a woman’s point of view and I’m not a SW, if I want to be discrete, I may use the following reasons:

1. Will take out cash for Kijji purchases and browse kijii site once in a while and leave the cache.
2. If I go to boys nite out, perhaps men night out, I would pay my share by cash instead of giving the card to some dudes.
3. If I take taxi, I pay cash. Don’t mention Uber.
4. I pay all the tips in cash even if I pay the bill using card everywhere.
5. if I have young kids, I pay for neighborhood ice cream van or lemonade.
6. I like to donate few coins at the checkout counter, thus I sometimes pay using cash at Walmart and Loblaws.
7. If I go to rib festival or similar events, I pay using cash.
8. If I go to church or worship places, I donate something.
9. If I work outside of home or pick-up kids, I like to buy hotdogs and fries at the stand for lunch or snacks for kids.
10. If I work downtown, I sometimes give money to homeless.
11. To avoid impulse purchases, I pay cash at Costco and Lee Valley. You have to be careful about this especially Costco.

I won’t withdraw more than $200-$300 biweekly just to be in the safe side

this works well. Also very important is to make habits of using cash vs cards. As long as taking cash out is common practice taking money out isn’t a issue.

In light of the recent Interact shutdown, every guy now has an easy excuse to have a decent amount of cash around.

I always have carried cash on me, so not an issue. But like others said, stash away smaller amts from your atm withdrawals, use cash back option at grocery store. Cash in your empties and coins too! Lol

Late to this one, but I would go to the grocery store to pick up a few things and pay with the debit card so I could get an extra $20-$40. Over time your hobby fund will swell.
