More meat for the grinder.

So who exactly is downloading the app as a result of this latest government scandal? I'm going to guess it's the maga crowd because they are this as an endorsement from their new king. But hopefully I'm wrong and it's a broad sweep of different users from across the political spectrum.

It's really unfortunate. Most banks and credit unions turn on overdraft protection by default. And many of them make it difficult to turn it off (burying it in online app/site menus, requiring people to call in or go into a branch to deactivate it, etc.). They do this because overdraft fees are a massive source of profit for them.

But it's pretty easy for people to get trapped in a vicious cycle of debt due to these fees. Most people don't know they can turn these off, and some don't even realize they are in place to begin with.

That makes sense. Spez is such a spineless dweeb, it checks out that a narcissistic blowhard like Musk would be pushing him around.

Fire tons of real scientists, and hire a quack. So much efficiency!

Yeah, I was definitely not taught about that!

It was covered a bit when I was in school. Although the main focus was "yeah we did some bad slavery stuff. But we got rid of slavery much sooner than America and some other countries did!"

So it wasn't exactly done in the best of ways. Although at the risk of repeating that same approach, as someone else here mentioned I think that's the case with pretty much every country that enslaved or abused people.

I like this phrase. It distills down what the article is getting across perfectly.

It went away... like a miracle!

Using an Ouija board to write even a short story sounds like an agonizingly tedious endeavor.

Please stop spamming this one blog all over the place. It's getting obnoxious.

Haha, I like your style.

All she needed was a white cone hate with a capital D on it to finish that ensemble.

A great source of protein!

Upstairs, in the opera house, the audience sits in the US while the performers are in Canada.

Would be really funny if the Canadian performers started performing original plays that mocked the current US administration.

And if you can. Which isn't possible for most.

"I've never done anything harmful"

Haha, good one, Musk. Trolls gonna troll. Now fuck off back under your bridge, you nepo-baby scumbag.

Rocket can be the carbs.

Ahh yes, a true representative of the people! 🥴

Video cut out before he no doubt retorted with some facile, bullshit strawman argument. But you just know that happened.
