So, I'm debating switching to a debit card for daily purchases, since the mental accounting gets confusing with a credit card and it's easier to overspend. The only thing holding me back is the fraud protection that comes with a credit card. Are there any (US) checking accounts/debit cards that match the level of protection you can expect from a credit card? Is such a thing possible?

I find myself scrolling through YT hoping to see something to play in the background, occasionally checking things like TechLinked or MichaelMJD with occasional PointCrow and Dougdoug. But really just wasting time doing nothing, just scrolling.
So I want to cut it off but I want to fill in that time with something else.
Anyone else has tried to cut off YT(Or at least minimize) YT from their life? I’m probably using YT the wrong way.
I would like some RSS feeds or podcast to make me go on YT less. Or thoughts/opinions/experiences from other people that used to have YT on almost all the time but minimized the time on YT.31 votes -

Content warning: child sexual abuse, death
I hadn't even hit puberty when you did those things to me. My friend concisely called them unacceptable and we can leave it at that.
When you got your girlfriend pregnant, I had to pretend to be happy.
But were you going to do the same things to him that you did to me?
It was going to be my fault if you did, because I could have spoken up and prevented it, but I'm not sure I was going to.
I'm not sure I'm even all that traumatized, so you can just live your life and be happy.
I mean yeah I've been in therapy ever since and my ex broke up because of it and I don't really function.
But who knows if that's your fault, maybe it was the bullying or the neglect or the isolation or the dysphoria.
So who am I to blow up the whole family with accusations?
I brought it up that one time and hinted at it but you said you didn't know what I was talking about.
Who would even believe me after all these years?
The boy was born six weeks early and there was wires and tubes and water in the lungs.
A week later they said he wasn't going to make it.
Now your baby is dead and I have to pretend to care.
Maybe I'm a bad person.
But the first thing I thought was "karma".

Hi Tilerinos!
Is there an app that has most or all of the train timetables across Europe? When I was in the UK on my last trip, I found Train Times. It looks like the app was entirely redesigned since I used it, but at first glance it seems similar. I would like a similar app for Europe:
- Simple with no bloat (I don’t need the app to buy tickets, in fact, I would prefer if it couldn’t)
- Be able to look up a station and view all departing and arriving trains, no matter the destination
- Have live updates for delays and cancellations
- Reasonably priced subscription is fine (and expected because of the delay and cancellation info)
- Preferably not associated with any particular train company
- Covers most of Europe (although an app for just France, or specific countries, would also be appreciated)
Anyone here know of an app like that? I know it’s a big ask, but I am hoping some indie developer has made a nice app like this. Thanks!
