I’m 39 but I had to pay for a new copy of my birth certificate in my 20s because mine was literally falling apart due to just being old and folded up and printed on weird paper and the seal was messed up so the dmv wouldn’t take it

I got it from my mom like that :x

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Do… do you think the people who actually make the game get royalties or something? Bc once the game is made that’s it for them lol

I typically feel like people like this aren’t dumb, they’re just so incredibly distrustful of authority figures like teachers or scientists or the government that on some level they reject reality and when videos “kinda make sense” or “have some points” about shit we all know is fake, it gives them the ability to choose what they think is correct and because they’re already rejecting what they’re being told is real by people they don’t trust it’s really easy to let conspiracies fill in the gap of how it works

So I just always turn the oven mitt around after I set it on the stove and put it over the handle as a reminder that it’s hot

I have burned myself in so many random ways around the kitchen, but this is a nice visual reminder to everyone who might not know that this pan is probably pretty hot still

So this is kind of a breakdown of how it works. My 3 credit scores are all in the 800s, I only have one pay fee card and we’re likely canceling it soon as we’ve got other cards that have better cash back deals. Here are a number of things that affect your score:

Using your cards, but not having a big balance on them monthly (we pay ours off, if not completely then the statement balance to avoid interest, but typically we pay them completely if we can)

Not missing any payments (haven’t missed a payment in the 12ish years we’ve had cards)

Not having derogatory marks (credit dings from stuff like not paying debts or repossessions of cars or that sort of thing would hit hard)

Any temporary hits like applying for a new line of credit (cards, loans, mortgages)

Average age of credit (older lines help a lot, it hurts less to close a newer card than an older one)

Number of accounts, they want you to have a lot, over 12 I think is where it really positively impacts your score, and it can hurt you to only have a few

Anyway it’s a complex system that’s annoying and can be difficult to understand

Because credit is partially based on the age of your accounts, so if you’ve only got a few accounts and you close an older one (such as a car loan) it reduces the average age of your accounts and can hurt your score.

It’s stupid

Deadsy - Flowing Glower

One of my favorite songs by my favorite band

I had this weird hardware issue with my desktop and I could not find results for it on Google about a year ago, and I had searched for it a bunch of times previously as well and couldn’t find anything relevant. My boyfriend searched for it on Google on his computer and found a result with the information we needed and i immediately fixed it.

Guessing my “custom” results were poisoned by something at some time, but it prevented me from finding the answer I needed, and I didn’t think to log out at the time.

Super done with Google tbh

I would add to look into transcranial magnetic stimulation as well, it has an insane rate of success.

I’ve recently been referred to a major hospital that offers this, ketamine, and electroshock therapy, I’m still waiting to be scheduled but I have a long documented history of treatment resistant depression and the many medications I’ve tried. I’ve had severe depression for over 25 years now, I’m exhausted and finally have hope for relief.

I reported a dude posting an image that said “shoot your local heroin dealer”

They didn’t do shit. I requested review. They still didn’t do shit.

Guarantee if I posted one that said “lynch your local kkk member” I’d get banned

It’s really weird to me that you write just like Jesse talks on the No Till Growers youtube channel

I’m not so sure, I saw this short the other day of this Gen z woman with a caption that said something like “you can tell gen z from millennial by the rise of their jeans” with her wearing mid rise (labeled low) and high rise jeans, and the comments were full of millennial women pointing out that in the 90s the low rise was like way way way low (which they were) or that millennial wore low rise first, or that it was a bad style or whatever input they felt they needed to give

And I realized this Gen z girl doesn’t care about any of this, and is actually quite clever, she’s just effectively gotten an insane amount of engagement and is positioning herself as an influencer because much of my generation are idiots and are commenting and reacting on her stuff over the rise of pants

Republicans have been wild for a long time, these days they’re rabid

16 to 19 isn’t really a big gap either imo

Wasn’t the idea and origin story of Jesus stolen from previous texts and religions lol

There is no way rich people are less happy than the average poor person bar mental health conditions, they may have stressors like a demanding job, but that is nothing compared to whether or not you’ll lose everything if you get too sick, or whether you can pay the bills because you didn’t get enough hours at one of your jobs, or if you have enough food to feed your family. Wealth gives so much more opportunity to fulfill desires and become happy.

Have you ever been actually poor? Have you ever been homeless or lived in a shelter? I can’t help but feel like your words may be that of privilege.

“Being rich is not good” is a very naive take. Being rich means less stress and more opportunities.

I’m not gonna vote for anyone because I’m way too left to agree with a lot of their politics, I’m just gonna vote against Trump. It doesn’t matter who is running against him, I’m not letting that dipshit win again. Or the republican party in general at this point, they’ve gotten too crazy.

Centrist City here I plod

I would call that calligraphy, not cursive. The cursive I was taught in the US has many upstrokes and you only lift your pen at the end to cross t and x and dot I and j.

Mine has a rotisserie function and I’ve made some great roasts in there

It also has a popcorn basket and imo the popcorn turns out better than stovetop
