Living paycheck-to-paycheck doesn’t necessarily mean hardship, and LendingClub makes the distinction between those can pay their bills easily and those who can’t. Only a fraction of high earners – roughly one in ten – reported issues covering all their household expenses in April, according to the survey.

I guess the distinction is whether it means hardship for LendingClub. Fuck me, imagine reading shit like this credulously.

“i have to go deal with the afghanistan”

This is my new ‘gotta poop’ conversation breaker with libs

Dunno, I’m still waiting for HL3 so I haven’t played that expansion yet

Hehe “trigger” warning

You should just do a run around their ban. Karma is meaningless compared to the message and violating their tos to continue speaking it is praxis

It is hilarious that they just invented advance copyright theft and called it ai. C’mon man tell me another one

Wait. was bushnell trans?

Ill probably tic her box too but she’s allowed on the ballot (and i know you know this) cuz the green party poses no threat to the caps. No positive sustained MSM coverage on a candidate erases that candidate from the public consciousness. It’s quite amazing how well it works, the 2 party mindset. Theres no harm in voting for her, increased 3rd party turnout might pave the way for even stronger future showings, yeah. To say you believe in voting when it is so thoroughly corrupted in the us, and when there’s no chance she’ll win raises the question: what is it that you believe still works?

Tonal check, i am honestly curious not fighting with you.

Did you hear? He also pinky swore he would never pardon his son (likely because he knows he’ll never need to)! Don’t you just love him for this empty promise of moral superiority?

I think you’re absolutely right on that. There are plenty of those who call themselves allies who are actively hurting the community with bigotry and simple ignorance. I have a friend who loves and wanted to adopt a currently cracking transmasc kiddo (part of extended family) but his… ridiculous TERFish beliefs might end up killing this poor boy. I think i got through to him but I’m not sure. If anyone has stuff on fluidity or like ‘dysmorphia for dummies’ i could use some help explaining just how important it is to be in the right body and shit before he hurts them or their relationship irrevocably.

That brings me to my next ramble. I wanted to share after reading your post headline that i got to feel like “part of the community” by way of bigotry for the first time since i “joined” y’all. I came out as ace to my therapist and also that friend i mentioned who both told me (in so many words) i didn’t know what i was talking about… which was super whiplash for a cishet presenting white man in his 40s. Like damn dogg, being believed was a noticeable privilege to lose.

I can’t help but wonder how much of what i thought was privilege was my simply holding an opinion of the privileged. It was never mine, i never got anything from it but the illusion of comradery. i was fooled by the proximity to privilege, because the opinions i used to hold just didn’t challenge the privileged. i was allowed in the room but i was played.

I dunno if I’m saying this right but you feel me?

Ramble aside i can’t wait to see what other fun lessons i shall learn tasting this rainbow.

Anyway now i have a more visceral understanding of that flavor. Bitter baby, bad. Extremely annoying and bad. If i were a younger man these people questioning me would make me question myself kinda bad.

Maybe its cheesy but the upside of that experience made me feel solid dairy with the community for the first time.

Anyway i was all over the place but if nothing else sticks i am again asking for your support in that i would love good material focusing on the importance of acceptance by peers/parents when a trans kid comes out. Thru won’t get it from their family, if they get it from anyone it’s gonna be him. Believe it or not, my dumb-ass friend is both thoughtful and receptive to me, but he’s coming from the dumbest place imaginable and i would really love some help from the trans perspective as i can only guess what it is like.

There’s a “lemmy,ml/tankies bad” thread I’m fishing right now in sh.itjust.works as we speak so this is extra apropos

Does this provide a special sound? Have to do with their style? Just fun? I dunno most about drums

Dunno if this is what you’re looking for but i thought of Leiningen Versus the Ants. It’s a short story filled with colonialism porn complete with superiority of the white man. Over the natives, nature, God himself.

Lol getting a bone. Or i guess i can look at the pine trees if I’m supine

I’m still trying to remember the difference between pron3/supine

Hey you jogged my memory. Is this from “i have no moth but i must scream?”

Coming out party! Everybody!! get in here!!

I hope cracking your egg keeps feeling amazing for you :D. Thanks for making us a part of it.
