News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I carry cash often because I play poker on the weekends as a hobby. It's funny how stigmatized paying cash for anything over $100 has become. People are always surprised to see it, and you definitely catch some judgemental looks.
Really? I don't do it a ton because I don't really like carrying cash, but I can't think of a time when someone's looked at me weird, my dealer practically insists on it and the local tradesmen all seem to like it so much they give me a discount.
I carry cash in small amounts because some restaurants prefer cash to avoid the credit card fee
Some places will even give you a cash discount which is nice, and you don't have to deal with those stupid gratuity screens that pop up at Starbucks and the like. The only thing is, you have to worry about getting robbed, but as a 6'0 225 lb man, I'm not too worried about that as there are very few people that intimidate me physically. If I ever do get robbed, the assailant would have to be armed. I also typically don't carry any life changing sum of money on my person, and I'd just hand it over, take the L, and move on with my life, but it's never been an issue so far. I did get pick pocketed once in Vegas and the guy got like $300 off my wallet and threw it in a trash can. This happened on strip in a casino under a million cameras, and could have happened to anyone. Note to anyone reading, Vegas is greasy, keep your wits about you out there. Don't drink too much and don't wear basketball shorts with your wallet in the side pocket.
