I was excited to hear that a space CMF set was coming and then felt very underwhelmed
at disappointed when I saw what they were. That said, some of them are growing
on me. The Beetlezoid is nice and the Blackthorn Mutant. And more Space babies
are always welcome.

I consider myself a Lego unboxing robot, of the organic kind, near the end of
one long chain in the Lego distribution network.

Therefore, it is unusual when I find myself having a good time parting out a
set. Don't get me wrong, I like parting out sets, but it generally is a job.

The series 26 minifigures part out was fun and felt nothing like work. So many
exciting parts too!

Extremely bad. I usually do pay with a credit card, rarely cash, but I definitely
do not want to order in an "app" ever.

See what’s happening is instead of you choosing to have a phone, they force you
to have one because you can’t live in society without it.

Tbh cash makes things more difficult when it’s tax time. I don’t use cash at
all and it makes things much simpler so for their records (or security against
theft) it might make sense for them

True, it is California after all. But I like to pay with cash, as it assists
with helping me not to overspend.

Overspending is the best tho!

What could be overspending???
You just spend what you have to.

Totally agree, but I just can’t afford the cost no matter how fun it is

Sounds like you need a higher credit card limit

Every time they ask me about that(because I always pay on time and spend what
I can pay) I decline.

Sorta like a backup safety net.

Not to get political, not accepting cash is often viewed as discriminatory against
the unbanked. However at a recent trip to Universal many of the restaurants
did not have cashiers or staff taking orders. All food was order in the app and
delivered to the table.

App means phone, means tracked by wifi and cellular data, having to pay monthly
from a bank account, etc. It's far less privacy, for sure.

It is commonly known over here that AI is listening and watching when ever you
do something online.

  Personally I find it far easier not to pay anything with cash and I barely remember
what our current coins are

Yes, I do admit cash is inconvenient, but I rather pay with that than pay credit
interest

  But I respect people using it for this reason

Good if you can’t speak English, or are a introvert

But it is known that without human interaction we won’t get sick leading to weak
immune systems.
