Wow they didn’t even try to hide it and pretend it was due to “layoffs”

Which is still illegal btw, happened to my friend and the company had to pay him a bunch of money

Yeah I just wish they had gone into detail since this was a groundbreaking medical discovery

I have received $0 from my parents. My grandma helped me buy some furniture when I moved out to my first apartment, and bless her for that. But I cannot comprehend asking for that much money from my parents, not that they would have it to give me anyway. I feel bad when they want to pay for my dinner, let alone $30k+.

Despite that, I have managed to save more than enough saved for a down payment. But with the market the way it is I have no interest in dropping that much money for a house, especially when our landlord hasn’t raised the rent for years and we have a good deal. $30k from your parents is a drop in the bucket when you’re looking at a huge ass mortgage payment every month. A house would have to be magical as fuck for the amount they are gonna charge per month with the current prices and rates.

I wish this article talked about how they are treating it? They just said she is doing well

Oh, I was thinking about the situation where you need cash quickly because you don’t have enough money to cover something. If you can pay it off immediately then that changes the entire conversation.

The correct way to use cash advance is to never use it. Seriously they have a totally different (way higher!) APR that accrues from the first day. Read the conditions of your card and calculate how much you’ll be paying if you take out $100 for example

Much better to get a personal loan if you are in that situation. The interest will suck but way less than cash advance

I mostly agree, except for the last part about marginalization. The idea you can always overcome whatever disability/disorder/whatever with hard work and the right mindset is not accurate at all. And that’s not you wanting to be a victim, it’s you advocating for what you need. Accommodations exist for everyone, they just cater to abled/neurotypical people instead. Once I finally admitted to myself I was disabled and stopped trying to live my life like I am 100% able bodied improved my life A LOT.

And disabled/chronically ill/neurodivergent people DO face a lot of discrimination regardless of if you want to admit it or not. We should be fighting for improvement in treatment, acknowledging people treat you like less of a person doesn’t mean you actually are less of a person. ESPECIALLY in the current political climate… once LGBT+ people are dehumanized sufficiently disabled people are going to be next.

I knew this was going to be MA. I know exactly who owns that Ghostbusters car lol. Not sure about the Scooby Doo though

Keeping track of what to boycott became to burdensome, so I’m just kinda doing a universal boycott where I buy everything possible second hand.

Hobby Lobby is probably one of the biggest on my shitlist

I haven’t paid attention for a couple years, but the last time they “stopped” they just started donating to a charity they made to cover up that they are still donating to the same places. But they didn’t do it directly so it doesn’t count.

And the owners themselves are still donating to anti LGBT shit regardless, at least one of them has been funding an organization that has been assisting with putting out all these recent anti LGBT+ bills.

An actually smart boss would pay employees you want to keep a generous salary instead of waiting to freak out when they try to leave for a better job

I would consider a new dentist, and probably a sedation dentist if you have issues with numbing.

Depending on what you are having done, there is also laser dentistry. And my dentist has some special drill where he has done shallow cavities for me with no novacaine and I didn’t feel shit except the usual drilling/pressure feeling.

This dentist just sounds shitty. Yes you were tensing up but you already told them a bunch of times you were in pain. They should have had a plan in place that y’all had agreed upon for dealing with a situation where the lidocaine wears off. Or maybe schedule you at a time where there are no other patients so they could go as fast as possible with no interruptions. Maybe I am expecting too much here but my dentist is the bomb and would easily do that for someone.

Every time I read about the ultra rich the exceed my negative expectations. 15 days = 1 lifetime is waaay more than I thought. My guess would have been like 1 year to build up that much. Wtf are they doing

And people where the microphone just fucking hates you. It always gets what I am saying wrong so I just use the keyboard

That’s not how medical procedures work. You don’t get to go to the doctor and request whatever legal procedure you require on a whim. It’s a decision made between a doctor and patient, without the government involved. AT ANY STAGE. That is the point.

Besides, do you really think someone is going to go through 8 months of pregnancy just to abort for funsies? That is “planned parenthood turns fetuses into chicken nuggets” level of delusion. You are really underestimating the physical toll taken on the body by pregnancy.

If someone got to 8 months, and they go to their doctor and discover the fetus is going to be born only to suffer and die in their arms, the government should have 0 say on how that medical decision is handled. Which is what late term abortions actually are.

Yes, I do get upset when people act like disabled people needing accommodations is ruining their life. For obvious reasons. Disabled people had no accommodations in games for literal decades and suddenly able bodied people act like it’s the end of the world when they start getting introduced. The difference is that some disabled people literally cannot play when you have a choice. And ranting, on multiple forums, about how accommodations will ruin your hypothetical competitive game that doesn’t even exist yet!

And games are not the only scenario, I see a similar attitude in every instance where disabled people are granted accomodations.

You want accomodations to not exist in certain scenarios. Your comment was clear.

I have never once gotten a job from applying directly. It seems like applying directly just immediately deleted your application. I’ve always gotten my jobs from referrals or a recruiter reaching out

When did games go from being something fun to do, to people getting so serious about them that they would rather fuck over a bunch of disabled people than lose a game?

Whenever I play competitive games I see people raging in the comments like every game, and it’s usually people who aren’t doing very good that round because they want to blame everyone else for losing. Idk why y’all are paying $60+ just to be angry the entire time. Fuck around and have fun, it’s not that serious.

It’s so bad you’re STILL mad about a hypothetical situation that doesn’t even exist. Spiderman 2 is single player. If it was competitive, and disabled people being able to play ruins your life sooo much, then don’t play it. Crisis averted.

And asexual

But I agree. The bi community already collectively decided we are trans and nonbinary inclusive. We don’t need to further separate it out.
