Cause some people die before having kids or are infertile

Yo fuck ice and we do live in a police state. I’m just pointing out basic facts - when she shifts to forward drive the ice agent was in front of her. She swerved to the right as he jumped to the left and she still hit him.

Is that not the correct term for an ICE…person? They’re not officers iirc

Chill chill I’m not trying to convince you of anything, except that there definitely was an agent in front of the woman when she tried to flee.

Ok this was definitely murder but there was an agent standing in front of the car. He barely jumps out of the way at the end.

Yeahhh I remember we had this dying tomato plant in the garden but for some reason I was attached to it, and I told my mom she didn’t need to replace it and it would get better on its own. And then I went back to the garden later and it looked really healthy, good as new!

Funny, I just watched a YouTube video about this guy and his cats. Seems like while he was a sweet guy he was probably lying about his cats age. Like, he claimed to have the pedigree papers but never actually showed them to anyone? And then after the cat died he said “oh my bad I told you guys the wrong age, he was actually [record setting age] the whole time”

Ok sure, I guess I don’t “need” anything apart from food and water and oxygen. What I really meant was, they will need to go into debt to finance the life they want to live, which for most people includes going to college and buying some type of property (not to mention other things like starting a business, supporting relatives, etc)

Yall are making this more complicated than you need to.

-Using credit does lower your score, yes, because if you already have loans you are less able to pay off additional loans. However, once you are done paying off those loans you will have a higher credit score than when you started

-Not using credit will only lower your credit score because it turns you into an unknown quantity

-Paying back late does lower your score, duh

-Paying back early does NOT lower your score. The only thing is if you take out a loan and then immediately pay it back they will recognize that you didn’t really need a loan in the first place. But Paying back mortgages/car finances quickly is a great way to build credit

-Simply checking or looking at your credit score does not affect it. However, making a “hard inquiry”-actually going to the bank or dealership and asking them if you can afford X thing-can lower your score because it’s a clear sign you’re about to take on more debt. That won’t actually hurt you for that particular inquiry though, it only hurts you if you walk away.

-Taking out loans does lower your score because you have burdened yourself with debt, duh

-Repaying loans does NOT lower your credit score, it raises it, unless you no longer have any debt at all and they no longer have a feel for how good you are at repaying.

Having an excellent credit score is not hard. Use a credit card and pay the full balance every month - thats a good idea anyway since the cash back is free money. Take out loans only when you need to and repay them as quickly as you can (also a good idea, since the guaranteed ROI of repaying debt is going to be better usually than when what you can make guaranteed by investing).

Now is America over-reliant on debt? Oh yeah absolutely. But avoid revolving credit card debt and don’t get in over your head with mortgages and car loans and you can easily “game the system” and take advantage of cheap credit.

I mean, good for you, but most people will need to go into debt for something at some point in their life.

I didn’t realize how large the Balkan drug trade was, thank you for that information. It seems the proliferation of illegal drugs is a problem of similar scope in Europe as the U.S.

Leftist try not to defend atrocities committed against America and its allies challenge (very difficult)

If the US was just neighbors with Canada I guarantee you illegal drugs would be much harder to come by in the US. Most other developed nations have the luxury of being neighbors only with other developed nations (or being islands)

“Like your job. Love your wife.” - Dell from Trains, Planes, and Automobiles. You can generalize that to say, your job is just a means to an end. Don’t work a job you hate, but look elsewhere for true fulfillment in life.

There is something extremely endearing about humble Christmas trees! Cheers and merry Christmas

Upside down smiley is used as like a smile-through-the-pain, everything is fucked kind of reaction, similar to melty smiley. Similarly the blushing smiley is usually deployed ironically. Or maybe my friends are just really sarcastic haha

Depends on the thing and the mood I’m in. Sometimes I just have to be pragmatic - my life will be better in the long run if I do this because I’ll keep my job, my house will be clean, etc. Sometimes the thing I’m doing is just really fun. Sometimes it’s fun to just check boxes, like your completing tasks in a videogame. And finally, once you’ve established a habit like exercise or stretching or learning a language, it just feels wrong to not do it every day.

Everyone knows 67 = basketball star Lamelo Ball’s height (6’ 7"). It’s a reference to a song that talks about that. It’s now just a silly in-joke reaction to hearing/seeing the numbers 6 and 7, literally the exact same thing as millenials and 69.

Well not everyone knows that I guess - just everyone cool!

Also how weird is it that 2 of the biggest memes of the past decade - the dab and 67 -are both made famous by sports stars based in my hometown of Charlotte, NC (not exactly a cultural mecca)

Seven Devils by Florence and the Machine is a fun one :)

Imagine not playing a videogame because some guy in France likes it and he also (and I’m only guessing here, but this is lemmy) supports Israel
