What a disingenuous take. People want them banned, and rightly so, because they are used on a weekly basis in mass shootings. And there are no upsides in having them around. Pretty much every other western country do without and we get mass shootings once a decade, or less.
Obesity kills people, good unrelated point. Something should be done for that too. While working on gun control/ban.
Hi again :)
No bad takes here, I already mentioned before that I have three beautiful chickens that are well loved, fed and protected and give me eggs on a daily basis. We work pretty well together
Let me guess […] I suppose […] if not you must be
Do you really think that is how logic is supposed to work?
And that’s why it has had no use throughout human history whatsoever. /s
Do you also have an opinion on timber smelling bad and be completely useless with no upsides?
In fairness the suggested premise of you wearing human skin, not an animal skin, was funny but pretty stupid to start with. And not what they had suggested has been done for the while history of humanity.
And we are back at the maybe if you just did this one thing you’d agree with my weird ideas that I think everyone should embrace.
If not visiting a slaughterhouse, it is about watching cowspiracy or some weird youtube videos. Come on
Pretty high, until someone from IDF finds them and shoots them
No they are just psychopaths.
So if she accepts, it means she understands and is 100% dtf to you? Boy I have bad news…
Does that express your intent and desires clearly though?
“How about we finish this drink and we go to my place to fuck?”
Works 100% of the times, everyone should try it and stop it with the immature waste of time that is flirting /s
This part made me think you were saying that was an investment, sorry I misunderstood
So my bank is giving me money each month for doing nothing really
Sorry links to this reddit.com site don’t seem to work here
ITT a breath of fresh air. I am not alone in having an interest in personal finance, and understanding the basics of it.
Most of my interactions on lemmy so far have been making me feel guilty (and downvoted) for saving some money like I was a dirty billionaire, and to invest in index funds, using capital to further oppress the masses.
In Australia, at least at the beginning, bnpl services managed to bypass all money lending regulations based on the fact that they don’t charge interest. I know that there were discussions about fixing that but haven’t been following the topic in a while.
Like the other person, I also assume you meant lenders, not borrowers. Lenders WANT people that are terrible with their finances. Visa makes very little with me paying off my credit card in full every month, just some merchant fees. On the other hand plenty of Australians are in constant credit card debt and pay something like 18-22% interest on the money they borrow.
Good on the Dutch government to try and control that.
We both know that stuff will never be used again!
I think the answer is in your first sentence, personal finance literacy. At least in my case reading about it, learning the basics (six months expenses emergency fund, pay credit cards in full every month, invest in ETFs…) and understand other people’s strategies is all it took. Hate to say it but I owe reddit one for all that knowledge.
Ah the person that complains they had to tap into their investments because you need to periodically get a new bed and redo your deck and can’t save money. Yes I got downvoted for providing basic personal finance recommendations there!
I think the problem is a combination of the things you mention, and the fact that society is just normalising stupid spending, waste of resources and spending everything you earn, if not more.
When on reddit, I was active on personal finance subs. The amount of people asking for suggestions on how to improve their budget that didn’t see anything wrong with 10-12 subscriptions for shows and music, on top of astronomic phone bills, eating out etc was crazy. At least they took the first step, wrote down their expenses, and were asking for help. The bed/deck guy was just pure madness.
Indeed, and once she deletes the bnpl app, she’ll use credit cards to buy useless shit like she prolly did before.
I think me and you have been successfully clickbaited though, the journalist looked for such an extreme example to cause outrage, have the article linked on various aggregations, and be discussed.
Please dont be that edgy it hurts, I have taken home a girl or two back in my going out days. The last one that I’ve bought a house and made kids with. While I had fun I’m glad I don’t need to deal with that anymore, particularly in this decade as it was abit more relaxed when I did it.
What you seem to be missing in your simplicity is that the whole post is about young males scared about making a move, mentioning plausible deniability, wishing women were more clear, and needing more than a hint to take a risk these days. The person I replied to made an asinine comment dismissing all these concerns, and you ran with it thinking it was smart, and triple down.
