  • That'd be me. I'm usually the first one up in any situation. So sometimes I just go ahead and make the coffee and start the breakfast. I mean no one's going to get upset waking up to the smell of bacon and eggs and pancakes.

  • Exactly, a butt hurt Maga nut sad that he/she can't get away with immoral nutjob language that harms and harrasses other people. These imbeciles tend to slap the label "woke" on any consequences that befall their small brained and inhumane actions. And I'm glad it gets under their creepy tightywhity skin so deeply.

  • Absolutely horrible stuff. Another example of how AI can insidiously reproduce someone's voice or likeness and turn it against them with no moral consequences. AI is perhaps the biggest danger to the world today, even ahead of nuclear arms.

    That these criminal and illegal robocalls were coming from Texas is no surprise, as it's no doubt the work of some ill-educated sick and socially demented idiot who hates leftists or liberals or any kind of updated progressive thinking. Texas is looking more and more like the #1 refuge of internal terrorists and mentally ill cultists. Very sad.

  • Especially now with newspapers reporting that Taylor Swift is seen as a 'danger to Republican norms' (per USA TODAY copy, Feb 2 - 4), this is an especially dangerous position to put her in. Republicans are starting to claim she is swaying the country away from their "values" (whatever those might be) and they are looking at her as an enemy of our country.

    So the person doing this might have innocent motives, but it could lead to horribly disastrous results, and he could also be jailed for doing this. So I'm glad she's taking some legal action up front if only to protect herself and show that she is unwilling to be made a victim of other people's nutjob bigotry.

  • I wish I had had instructive help on when and how to use credit cards when I was younger. I did go into debt and so I know how it happens and see how easily it lures people in. So I'm glad you're putting energy into creating a post about it and helping getting the word out.

    For me, credit cards were a too-attractive lure and they ensnared me when I was least able to understand how negatively impactful they could be. So I hope getting the information out to others will help them avoid the same pitfalls. Frankly, a bank debit card is useful but most credit cards are probably best avoided if possible.

  • The headline is really an odd convoluted way of saying "Man dead after being released from prison." I suppose they're tyring to make ti seem like he was some kind of angel who was wrongly convicted and unfairly dropped dead when released.

    But he himself said he wasn't an angel and in fact was a petty criminal (at best) and possibly involved in a murder (at worst). So while it's sad he may have been wrongly imprisoned for so long it's hard to feel bad for his passing away. I mean, he didn't have good chances anyway and his life was going to end in prison anyway at some point.

  • He's a 73 year old piece of excrement who hates the world because it's changing for the better and leaving bigots like himself behind. Thank god he won't be around much longer, what a waste of flesh. He is a good example of how an abortion 73 years ago could have prevented an asshole like him from ruining other people's lives.

  • Yish, everytime I see his photo I feel utterly sick and totally degraded as a human being. If this piece of filth becomes president again - how can any of us continue to live here. It simply can't be - it can't happen again. It just can't. This piece of dogshit can't be allowed to go on anymore.

  • Well so will you and everyone else. In a few decades, you and me and everyone we know will have turned to worm food underground. Nobody will say our names or remember what we did, and nobody will remember the financial struggles, or who donald trump was, or why Israel went on a rampage against Palestinians. (although that will probably still be going on forever).

  • Sometimes it's just a matter of getting the timing right. My parents had financial advisors, so it wasn't all just them choosing on their own, but they made good choices. Me, I never had the bravery to buy stocks on faith, but big gains come from big risks.

  • But that shouldn't really be a surprise to anyone - big companies are only about making money, they'd go belly up if they didn't put profit over human lives. It may suck monkey runoff, but it's the truth - and I don't blame big pharma for wanting to rake in as much $$$ as possible.

    Maybe they should have been more transparent about the possible addictive qualities of opioids, but in every case where the drugs were abused the doctors have proven that they did not tell the patient to "take as many you want." They did warn the patients about the dangers and also gave them very EXACTING prescriptions to follow, which the patients ignored.

    Anything and everything can be dangerous and addicting and harmful when misused. In Utah there's a huge obesity epidemic because food is the one thing people can overindulge in here without condemnation from the mormon church. People can become addicted to potato chips, and pornography, and excessive Amazon usage and TV and podcasts and TikTok viewing and religion.

    Should all manufacturers have to tell people, "Hey if you overuse this, it COULD be harmful." You'd hope that some common sense would be called for on the part of the users.

  • That's a pretty lousy reason to kick kids out of school. IF that's really what it's all about, the article didn't make that clear at all.

    If anything the school district should step in at that point and offer to help the family instead of shitting all over them when they are in such terrible circumstances.

  • I don't say it isn't greed and it isn't shifty practice on the part of credit card companies, and some are worse than others, but I'm just hoping to help people steer clear of the temptation to use credit cards if they haven't the money in the bank to pay them off.

    It IS a big responsibility of credit card companies to not be usurious with their interest rates, but let's be real - that's never going to change. It's what they do.

    Basic necessities are always going to go up, because manufacturers know they have us by the short hairs and can yank us around anyway they please, and people will still cough up the money. They do that with gas prices all the time, raising them when travel is more likely just because they can.

    IT's a sad truth that the world we live in is full of deliberate traps to make you a debtor as much as possible. Then once you are in debt, it's full of ways for creditors to harrass and bully you for it.
