You need to apply for a card to build credit, but applying damages your credit.

I’ve worked so hard to have a 790 credit score at 25 years old. But it’s the stupidest fucking game in the world and the rules are arbitrary and dumb as fuck. They want you to have multiple cards or lines of credit (at least 11 or more) to have a very very strong credit score. Credit Karma recommends opening up to 20 cards or more to make sure your credit is strong. BUT every time you apply for one, a hard inquiry ends up on your credit and the inquiry drops your score… back when I used to sell cars, I remember asking a manager why that was because we’d have to run credit reports on our customers as car salesmen. And my manager said “because the credit bureau assumes that if you have multiple inquiries, you’re being denied for everything you’re applying for. So they assume you need to apply for multiple things because you keep getting denied so they drop your score.”… I have a lot of hard inquiries but I’ve been approved for EVERYTHING I’ve applied for. And the credit bureau still punishes me for the inquiries for literally years. This is the stupidest shit, dude… I can rant more about credit like how it’s much easier for privileged people to have reliable credit because they never need to use it to live and it keeps poor people poor because they can never borrow money… but that’s a rant for another day. Fuck credit scores.

I’m just trying to get to Washington. I have a snowboard trip planned. It’s been delayed four times. I’m stuck sitting at my layover. Four times. They said it’s for maintenance. Finally 3 hours later(after it was originally supposed to board) the lady at the desk who scans boarding passes says the planes coming in and they’ll try to get it cleaned for us(due to board an hour and a half from now) ASAP and get us going. That was after it’s been delayed 3 times. 10 minutes laters it’s delayed a FOURTH time.

This is straight asscheeks. Fuck American Airlines. Southwest and United have never given me this shit ass experience. Holy hell

I grew up in a loving house with wealthy parents. All of my needs are satisfied, and i love them very much. However, recently i am having problems with my life, and although i put a lot of work in solving them, its getting no where. Honestly when i look back at my entire life, i live like a fucking loser. I think i may have waste the money my parents invest in raising me up, and i feel so guilty to them. I fear that I will never be able to repay them, and the more I live this fear become more and more feasible. They deserve someone better than me, who can actually make them proud. Sometimes i keep wishing that if only i was born into a poor family which doesnt love me as much as my parents do, then maybe i would feel less guilty about the whole ordeal. Maybe if a car hit me or something, then my parents would have less of a burden to care about, i dont know.

I always see people arguing about republicans and democrats, each saying the other neglects the poor. They spend so much time arguing that they both reject and neglect poor folks. I was born poor, raised poor, around poor folks, and no one got helped by any politician of any leaning. Argue all your little hearts desire, I've been there and I've seen it.

People on the internet just love to complain about whether a product or service is good or bad. To a Toyota enthusiast, American cars are terrible. To an Android user, Apple should gobble a fat one. If people want to this, why don’t we make them accountable? If a company is receiving a lot of backlash, every American voter should vote on whether that company could continue or close up shop. This would make citizens more accountable for what happens in the world. Yappers would be forced to watch others lose their jobs and domestic industry fail. They should understand whether their opinions make sense.

I'm 26 years old, 27 next month. I have been working so hard since I was 17 to save up money. I would love to own a home one day, but l've become extremely discouraged with this dream because every time I look at listings in my area. The lowest is always, always a single or double wide trailer asking for 275k-300k on not much land at all. I have nothing against living in one, but the amount of money folks are asking is just bonkers. Are you experiencing this around your city!? I almost want to cry.

It's basically the worst type of gaslighting a hopeful enlistee can hear from a recruiter. It's a shame that the media has consistently pushed the narrative of recruitment shortages and overweight enlistees for the last several years. Yet when someone that's ambitious to serve, but may not be perfect in every way speaks with a recruiter about their ambitions, they're met with a "fuck you" attitude. I would like to serve, either uscg or navy, but the sentiment toward hopefuls just seems really arrogant.

To be honest i don't like melanie martinez, like i won't hate you for listening to her but i don't like her.

The allegations have been out for years and she still hasn't said one word but yet she still bitches about "going into dept because of her art".

Also her fans are fucking crazy. Don't get me wrong justice for hailey but it sucks to see people die because of some stupid internet beef. It doesn't make sense to tell someone to kys over an opinion

Not to mention, she scams her fans. Her perfume is $275, while her merch is over $20 dollars. A lot for "going into dept for her art"

By the way, her story changed more than timothy. It went from "she never said no" to "i never did that". Its proof that girl on girl SA is never taken seriously. Also i would rather belive a potential liar over a potential r^pist

I saw a mutual friend who's a local post this, the area were in is small, rual, with high homeless population and low resources.

I been following along with how her dogs are doing. All of Their dogs began seizing and she rushed them into a emergency vet.

They did blood work and tested positive for meth. Even worse vets told them they had another case recently that tested for meth, there are meth heads tossing bad batches on side of roads or down a hill. Just dumping them nearby their shanty towns. Or in our area what we refer to as "near the swamps"

She lives on a multi acre fully fenced property her dogs free roam now they're strictly leashed. They're recovering but you can tell from the photos the dogs are fatigued.

Our drug problem has gotten so bad they're literally affecting animals now. Imagine how many pets, even wildlife out there that probably weren't found in time (expecially barn cats) or couldnt be taken in.

I've heard of razors in treats and poisoned food left on the ground, which is why I try to train my dogs leave it, but what would stop a dog from potentially accidently inhaling that substance? Hunting an animal that was exposed to it? Or just accidently walking through a small amount that was tossed in the grass?

Even more terrifying, what about kids? Would the parents loose their kids for the results before they ever find out it could of been some meth dumped in a sandbox in a park?

People leave needles behind, I don't know why I never thought this as a concept until now.

What would happen if these "bad batches" being dumped had fentynal in it? The amount of ODs that happen here is heart shattering I've had to call in a few myself. I was worried they were dead, one did it twice in the same day. I was glad they were alright cus as much as I have alot of irritation and anger I don't wish for anyone or anything to suffer.

But I'm so mad at how far this has festered, This is just so upsetting. I'm glad her dogs are safe but the fact that this could be a potential danger not just here but anywhere is terrifying.

Addiction has destroyed so much. So so much. I'm so heartbroken, angry, and irritated how bad it's truly gotten.

My mom called me to tell me my nephew(3) has cut up her blinds amongst many other destructive things today bc my sister(22) had slept through them. She decided to go out once again last night and while my mom was doing laundry is when the blinds incident had happened. The partying is a huge problem she had while living with me, so much so her and her husband got a divorce and I had to kick them out for losing their jobs and not paying bills. We’ll as I’m telling my mom that’s Bullshit and how unfair it is they let her walk all over them, I’m unaware she’s in the same room to which she tells me to mind my own business and I tell her to take care of her child and grow up.

A huge reason I was pissed was bc they had put my nephew on a no toy and no tv ban for the day. Which wouldn’t have happened had she been watching him, mind you she would always put me in the same situations while she lived with me and I would help him clean whatever mess he made just so I wouldn’t have to hear her yelling at him. Anyways there’s a ton more besides that but really comes down to how unfair it is that we had bought a house together and she gets to runaway leaving me with all the bills and she gets to use my parents as free babysitters, get her nails done every two weeks and have free rent, while also partying every other weekend while my husband and I have been struggling, I obviously resent her for a ton of stuff and am jealous she gets to have it so easy for being a fuck up but godamn. Anyways im not a saint by all means but it shouldn’t be an accomplishment for being able to keep a job. That adulting and especially when you have a child.

I just attempted to read a post on another sub. The OP didn't use a single bit of punctuation. What's the fucking deal? Use the damn punctuation! We were all taught how and when to use it in school. I swear the only thing harder to read than something with no punctuation is all the abbreviated words. I could turn this into a rant about that as well.

They are so fucking bright, they blind the fuck out of me. I have astigmatism and glasses can only do so much, my glasses make it bearable driving at night with most cars but every 10 cars there is always 1 annoying fucker thinking they own the street and has super bright led headlights.

Their low beam looks like a high beam for normal cars, the moment one gets close to me everything becomes white as if I just died and I'm following the fucking white light. I won't be surprised as one time I actually almost fucking died when an asshole decided to flash his led high beam at me because I was signaling him to turn off his high beam, turns out it was his led low beam and I almost swerved into him.

I'm just pissed and hope they stub their toes everyday waking up

And get stopped by the police

It's because of the use of the work "punk" in the most non rebellious, milquetoast form of alt that people could imagine.

Oh, so you glued some non functioning cogs to a top hat?

You got a gold watch chain on your dress vest?

Not very punk of you.

If they called it industrial victorian or renaissteam or something it wouldn't bother me.

But they're trying to claim it's something edgy.

Every time I see people who do steampunk at cosplay cons or ren fairs they're the absolute least rebellious people, the most drab, vanilla costumers, with store bought or low effort costumes, whose personal outside of it is typically soft libertarian debate bro.

That's all, that's my rant.

I was scrolling on Twitter and saw a post that showed the LAST panel of the most RECENT spy x family chapter that was released TODAY. Dude give some people a fucking chance to read it for the first time in context like you did. Stop being a pussy and put the spoiler warning. This is also a problem on TikTok.. fuck your engagement or impressions. How can you call yourself a anime/manga goer and be in the respective communities but have no respect for the other members in it?! Not putting a spoiler because you're afraid it will ruin the aesthetics of your post is so stupid. Anime/Manga becoming something that people flawk to because they couldn't make it in their stupid normies spaces and just spamming spoilers to become popular is such low quality animanga community behavior why are you proud to cultivate that..??!

Burping: when did this shit start?? It's especially disgusting when someone does it in a restaurant or waiting in line at the store. Sure it's a "Free county" and all but, come on...... is this what we have become?

Firstly, I'm attracted to women, and not only is he not even her boyfriend, but even if I was attracted to men, this mf smells like weed 24/7, no thank you. Honestly I want to tell her that but she already seems to hate my guts so I should maybe leave it alone

take the time to completely clear the snow and ice off your headlights and taillights. with how icy and slippery the roads have been where i live, its important to make it easy for me to see when you’re braking, using turn signals at 4ways, or reversing out of parking spaces. i have like 4 other things i need to pay attention to on top of a dense snowfall. if your taillights are covered, someone driving 7-10+ seconds behind you at 25mph (in a 35) could still rear-end you if you brake suddenly. while they can still happen on icy roads even with clear lights, the risk increases HEAVILY if other drivers can’t see your signals. milliseconds matter.

these conditions are especially dangerous for newer drivers or older adults who need to run errands themselves and don't have others they can rely on.

i dont want to see another 80yo grandma rear-end someone and breakdown in tears at a 4way explaining how she had to go out in this shitty weather themselves along with some idiot in front of her that had their fucking brake lights covered. this lady was a good distance away from this guy.

please be considerate of everyone’s safety on the road.

And by evil, I mean the human rights violations.

Shein, Temu, all the other cheap clothing sites with the same supplier using just different names. It'll be the cutest dress, the embroidered jeans nobody makes anymore, the crochet top that's so in style. And it's always one of them. It's so tempting, because everything is expensive, and clothes produced somewhat ethically cost like an arm at least if you're not thrifting (especially jeans).

I know they're like almost comically evil; the high emissions, the horrible conditions the workers are in, the fact that they're given such crazy workloads they practically live there and get paid peanuts for their troubles. It's practically slavery and It's so incredibly sad and I don't want to contribute to it by ordering stuff from them. I know that mainstream companies have their own skeletons too, but at least it's somewhat better?

I haven't bought anything from them yet but jeez is it tempting. I just want to look cute, but everything is evil and the ethical stuff requires me to give up a kidney :/.

You stop eating so much junk food, so you don't need such strong toothpaste.

I hate it. I’ve applied literally everywhere even in different cities and she’s still saying I’m doing something wrong. I’ve never had a job before because of Covid but I feel like that shouldn’t be preventing me from getting a job at Walmart or McDonald’s. Walmart literally gave me a rejection letter when I applied to work at self checkout. Not even an interview what the fuck do you need experience in to work at self checkout? Not to toot my own horn but I have valuable experience that I’ve put on my resume. I was apart of a few clubs in highschool and I did things such as handling cash transactions, taking leadership, organizing events, things like that which I thought would look good on a resume but apparently not! Like how is this my fault???? I’m trying my damn hardest to get a job, I’m not even applying to some fancy cooperation JUST PLACES LIKE MCDONALDS OR WALMART! And she’s saying things like “immigrants who come here can find a job in 1-2 months but you a Canadian cannot.” Like again HOW IS THAT MY FAULT??? SINCE WHEN DO YOU NEED EXPERIENCE TO WORK AT FUCKING WALMART??? Maybe I’m doing something wrong, maybe I am an idiot but she’s the most unapproachable person in the world.

Things aren’t like how they were 20 years ago when she was looking for jobs. Seeing people on the internet talk about how they’ve applied to hundreds of different places and still remain jobless is comforting to me. Especially when people in the comments are like “since when did you need experience for McDonald’s”.

I feel stuck and unheard. Like things go in one ear and out the other. I just want someone to fucking hire me. Is that too much to ask?

This certainly isn't a new complaint but I'm experiencing it first hand and it's so frustrating and depressing.

I'm looking for prints to hang up in my apartment and going through all the usual print shops... They're full of AI slop, etsy is especially bad. There's so much slop that when I do find something I actually like the look of, I have no trust that it too isn't some AI creation that I'll only discover once I've printed it out.

So much of what gets posted on Reddit or Instagram too, I can't help but look at with a critical eye. AI is at the point where you can generate the artwork, the environment the canvas is in and the artist who painted it. You can make convincing videos of people making the art. It's just so exhausting to the point that I don't know that I even value art anymore.

I used to want to make my own art but now, what's even the point? It'll just be lost in a sea of generated content or used to train some model.

Once long video content can be generated reliably our media will be so cooked forever.
