Basically the same here. WhatsApp is basically “dial-a-boomer” on my phone.
Little sad that Signal dropped SMS support, but I get it.

I hit a lot of American sites that want to process my data in a malicious way that would be illegal.
Rather than fix the issue, the side just redicts to a “we’re sorry to our European friends” - like fuck off, it’s been years you cunts.
Anyway, to answer your question - it protects them from legal liability.
If it’s always $350 a month, just let the debt ride.
Over 6 years, $350 in year 1 is worth more than $350 in year 6 thanks to inflation (350$ in 2017 would be able to buy you $435 worth of goods or services today). If you have $12.5k sitting around - Invest that into something stable, collect the interest and just keep paying off the loan slowly because that’s the cheapest way to do it (unless we end up with negative inflation in the next 3 years - which seems unlikely, but who knows??)
Cars tend to be financial liabilities, depreciation on a new car is just tremendous - next time just get a beater with working AC for as little as possible, do your maintenance and run it into the ground.
Ahh, more reasons for people to leave teaching.
Honestly, I think the only teachers I know that are still teachers today is because they’re under the thumb of this system - specialised training that isn’t much use elsewhere, so they have to stay and continue to work in increasingly impoverished conditions.
Any teachers reading this - I’m sorry for what you have to go through, and even as a childless individual, I am greatful for the sacrifices you’re making to ensure the future of our society.
Agreed, at least in principle - but your statement is so reductive it really could be said about anything.
It’s so hard to motivate people to vote, people are exhausted and finding ten minutes in the day to feel good about oneself, much less performing a (seemingly futile, thanks to those poisonous ideas you’ve mentioned) civic duty is bordering on impossible. When 1 in 15 people in the UK need drugs just to keep their desire to live one more day in check - and a good chunk of the remaining population from that statistic are barely holding on - fighting the futility for someone else is an insurmountable goal.
I don’t know if we can afford to wait for climate to get worse for people to take action. People are dying preventable deaths, if it weren’t for the very evident effects of man made climate change being politicised or obfuscated, maybe it’d be just a warm Summer in Europe right now.
How long can we wait for a peaceful solution to form?
If we don’t wait - how many heads would we need on pikes next to Mortimer Buckley or Larry Fink before we start seeing positive change? When would be the tipping point for the guillotine to become the most ethical solution?
Sorry, I’m rambling. I just feel so hopeless sometimes, and putting a X in a box 2 or 3 times a decade doesn’t do anything to make me feel like we’re making progress…!
And boy - what a great way to ensure that nothing is learned!
Here’s a post from someone trying to learn, and get a bit of context from more learned people, and you just shit all over them?
Shameful.
Thanks at least for showing me that actually - the feddeverse isn’t for me. Ta ta!
