Funny, that.. you’ll be shocked by the reason!

If you are in any sort of unique demographic, like you aren’t a straight white male office worker, you might look for credit unions that serve your specific population.

Like if you do trade work, there’s options. If you are Hispanic there’s options. Veterans have several options, women and feminists have several as well. Just sort of look for whatever fits you and see what might be available on a more national scale.

And if you are a cishet white male office worker with nothing to distinguish you from anyone else there’s probably a credit union for that, too. The theme of the day is themes. Credit unions that aren’t regionally based are nonetheless community based, and I’m sure you fit a community.

Really tho I hope you find something that fits so you can buck the bank. Banks are horrible and we can do better! Through unions!

Edit: I looked up Star Trek credit union just for giggles and there’s a NASA credit union, hence the theme being themes.

This doesn’t surprise me.. but it does make me wonder what kind of person would ignore that sort of data just for money..

I mean.. really, who in their right mind says “well this is going to be catastrophic, and we could shift gears now to prevent it and release all the data and be absolute heroes among men, but nah, we’d rather it burn.”?

Money is great and all (I guess), but when the global economy collapses due to the catastrophic climate change, it’s not going to be worth a whole lot..

That’s why I said for me, but I can see my word placement wasn’t great, and probably not clear. Such is life.

I’d never trust a company trying to sell you an overpriced product that monitors your purchase and consumption habits to get you to spend even more on ordering services or whatever nonsense their fridge does, to give better advice than a persons own body, even when said body is not working properly with signaling, or has been otherwise hijacked by empty foods.. I’d sooner trust even the worst malfunctioning body than this nonsense.

You’ve never had a pancake dog and it shows.

It’s a breakfast sausage (light on salt or omg it would be so much) dipped in a thick pancake batter and deep fried, then drizzled with maple syrup.

Divine.

If they paid taxes, maybe, but imo they are being compensated already for something they aren’t even doing.

I don’t live in an apartment anymore, and I moved out largely because I’m asocial, and want as little incidental contact with others as possible. I’d like to do something like this in my town but that’s not really likely to work because, again, asocial. I could set it up and nobody would know unless they saw it. And looked.

But it gets me thinking… if a person were to just go into a random unsecured apartment building, such as the one I used to live in, and put up a small shelf with the community pantry building instructions laminated and pinned above it, and seeded it with some goods, if it would just spontaneously take off.

When I used to work at an airport, we had tip jars that looked like decorative glass bricks. I took to putting a few dollars of my own money into the jar every day, in a very obvious way, and the tips came in much more steadily than not seeding the jar.

I bet the same could work in apartments, even if you don’t live there. I’m going to try it; I have an old shelf and some dry goods I don’t really want, and I know the old apartment complex; it’s full of people who move out in the middle of the night because they can’t pay rent, car break-ins happened not infrequently, but never anything within the building, neighbors let you know.

It’s one of the cheapest places I ever lived, and it’s still in the same condition I left it a decade back, despite renting for almost 200% what I paid then with wages not keeping up. The windows were rotting out trash from the 70s and haven’t been replaced, something I can tell from the parking lot and I let them know about before I moved out. If they haven’t fixed that, they haven’t fixed any of it, and are letting it degrade willfully. Desperate people always exist.

Interestingly, I’m pretty sure she got that “dress” (really, it’s panties and a corset with a mesh dress over top) on Amazon. I saw nearly the same thing just today. It was $25 and listed as a rave costume.

So your drug hypothesis is supported so far….

(Yes yes, I know it’s not actually the same thing, but it might as well be… normal people wouldn’t go out wherever in that..)

I have aphantasia, so I’m curious what the experience would be like for that as well.

Like if the whole thing is designed to evoke mental imagery rather than actual sight, what happens to those who don’t have that ability?

In reality children are just very small drunk adults. Without the intoxicant.

They can’t form really coherent sentences, they don’t care about social norms, and if you don’t put a stop to it they will talk your ear off about stuff only they could possibly care about.

They also throw up and hurt themselves a lot.

Drunk.

I do this with my cats. I get kitten kibble for them as treats. I can give them several bits cuz the kibbles are small, they love it, and even though kitten grain free food is wicked pricy, still cheaper than treats!

They normally eat wet food, but have a mix of dry stuff available at all times, so it does really work. They don’t know the difference.

Did he actually shit himself, and if yes, do you have a cite for that? I dessssprately need that to be true.
