Don't get me wrong, I understand investments. It's just that the stock market isn't the only way to invest. When I invest in something, it's because I actually believe in the company based on something more than just erratic market trends.

As someone who doesn't really understand investments, mind if I ask what you are talking about here? VC stuff or just investing in businesses that you personally have a relationship with the owner?

I would point out that TFS clearly states that one of the subreddits was " pre teen_girls"; as in, not even teenagers yet.

You can easily use a 3rd party calendar app.

I also just discovered Permission Denied this morning. It (theoretically) revokes specific permissions from already installed apps. Handy for when you want an app that asks for location permission and such but you know it doesn't actually need it. Whether or not it actually does what it says it does, I don't know...
