This should be illegal. Buying debt from creditors that can no longer be sued for and cannot be reported to the credit agency. This is not a job, this is not of benefit to society!
Go to hell

Capital One always sends me offers for a new card with the most ungodly interest rates and they need to just leave me alone every time I use their card it’s like I’ll be paying 3x whatever the thing cost by the end

Crazy having the clinical language to add to my memories that I now know are ptsd symptoms from when I was not even an adult yet
Like I knew why I was having a panic attack because we were driving in the city where my ex lived but I didn’t understand deeply why just being there did it

Fuck Apple. The new iOS made my grandfather with Alzheimer’s set a 6 digit passcode. We can’t get into his phone. He can’t even accept calls. FindMy isn’t updating his location.
We are going to have to factory reset his phone and lose all the photos he took before he and his wife declined.

Broke out one of the extra large hot hands from the emergency snake care winter kit and tucked it into my waistband and I can’t believe I haven’t thought of this before it’s so helpful for my period cramps

:( I thought I put my dinner away last night but I didn’t I only threw away my napkin and left damn near an entire meal on the table all night
That’s $20 just thrown out. Three servings for me. I’m so tired of the ADHD tax.

They aren’t smart lights. They are named that, but they are Bluetooth only. And the remote has to be able to see the USB to work, which is behind my bed.
I can’t use my voice commands / alexa to control them. Had to download an app. I hate them. But I will deal with it for now.

It’s heartbreaking thinking about a person who I’ve loved a long time but grown apart from… I learned earlier this month he supports ICE and doesn’t think that the people of this country are in danger nor is the democracy

A solitary butterfly paused in profile, resting on a leaf. Gentle focus and muted tones keep the scene quiet, letting alignment and pattern carry the moment.

Got kicked off budget billing because I had no money (and also forgot to make payments) last year and I know this is gonna hurt this month.
It’s expensive to be poor. I’m already $400 behind on my utilities 🫠 they’ll cut me off as soon as the weather is projected to not be freezing for a while

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

So we should all cower in our homes while our neighbors are assaulted, killed, and disappeared?
Even if one isn’t intending to protest, surely we aren’t all calling out of work or ceasing to run errands?

How come federal agents and officers get a pass from citizens for their behavior because they “feared for their lives” but people with no training are supposed to completely override their fight or flight instincts and become calm and compliant when they fear for their lives from these thugs hmmmm
