They said if they PAY to use… and get ads. They are right, I ditched tv for streaming because less ads. Now they want to go full circle? I feel like I can’t even open up the fridge these days without having some agenda or ad start.

Or* it was just a smidge too early. Things are much safer now from what I understand.

Sounds like it worked, and now the conservatives are mad and trying to punish?

Bond, James Bond. Junior.

Klarna sucks balls. “We’re your friend! We help you buy things!*”

Out of the 19.6 million student loan borrowers, TransUnion found that roughly 20% are at risk of defaulting. The figure — which TransUnion estimates could be much higher — outpaces the credit bureau’s previously recorded all-time high of 15.4% in 2012.

Milk, actually.

Synchrony is a cancer.

“Everywhere I go! It’s Tracy! Tracy! TRACY!”

Truth 👆

It is why I am for reform. I feel I should pay something back for what I did get, but that amount they want and how hard they’ve screwed us with horrible rates, and difficult or impossible bankruptcy options, shitty stagnant wages, rising costs of literally everything.

Trump doesn’t need to put this pain to this millions of borrowers. I don’t see him going after COVID loan forgiveness. How was that ok but this isn’t?

Student loans are a part of a scam system which have been ballooning out of control for decades. John Oliver did a great segment about it.

Totally support this. These life altering decisions ‘provided’ to young adults, are force fed down your throat from everyone around you. Parents. Teachers. Everything in your world is school school school. You trust that’s what has gotten you through and all the people around you.

They disbursed MY student loans through a DEBIT CARD. I could only use it on ATMs on campus. There was a fee for every withdrawal. Max limits too of course! So you’re paying to pay to pay! But screw us right? We have a lifetime. So charge us for everything you can think of and add it to the tab. I got into my third year before it wasn’t enough to cover me to eat. Tuition. A roof over my head. I had to get a job to make ends meet, when I would have preferred to finish my degree. I ended up having to work a lot. A lot more than I expected. I had to quit school to work full time just to keep up with normal life expenses.

Keep in mind you’re learning a LOT and making a LOT of mistakes during this time still too.

That only encourages predatory colleges, with predatory deals with card companies to distribute student loans. To stick us with everything, including ridiculously exorbitant textbook costs.

Now I’m saddled with that debt. It’s grown 1/3rd more than I ever borrowed.

I still never got my degree.

We did this when I was between 7-9 years. Once they had us line up on one side, and we could only cross the room, using those. Some tried to push and got ‘stranded’ between. One kid, put one in front of the other then swapped. Then again. Using two to cross. Soon many were trying to. I still remember this decades later 😁

Tariffs and wars and disease… naaahhh

You have to KEEP TEACHING the lesson. Because when you’re 25 years older, and kids are just coming into the world, they don’t ‘get’ how bad it is. They just hear it. I heard all about how WWII went, who was bad who was good blah blah.

Look now, we have Gaza. Look now, we have Trump. AfD in Germany.

Where do you think we failed (globally)? Like, how have we (seemingly) made a 180 in just under 100 years?

Who…! Does! …… number 2…. Work… for!?!

Sorry, uh… I didn’t mean run them at the same time. I had to have a DHCP server stand in for it when I had to take that device itself down (the pi). That was ages ago. But I was still starting out!

Yes especially if you’re using DHCP on Pi-hole

I dunno, he gets treated like a ‘normie’ but continually surprised people who underestimate him.

It wasn’t the best movie but not the worse. It has some fun moments. Made me want to watch Mr. Robot (only seen pieces).

Right? Like what is his argument? “I don’t like Greta because she doesn’t cater to everybody.”
