It’s like comparing a speeding ticket with Ted Bundy.

You were still buying a license to play the games.

Just a small correction, it’s abets.

For the next 12 days

Nah, there will be a celebration on the streets outside the venue.

Iirc it’s an echo location thing.

Sells licenses.

You’ve never owned your games. It’s always been a license to play the games. It’s just that now they have the ability to enforce it.

Lol, you think a person who implements such a policy will apply it to themselves?

Not if you’re salaried exempt!

That’s actually why. You have to drain the power from the circuits.

Batteries, right?

Actually, both are true. There’s not just one type of homeless person, which is a large part of why it’s such a complex issue to address.

There are a lot of homeless who are severely mentally ill, addicted to drugs, or both (self medication). These people are a significant portion of the homeless (~1/3 mentally ill, ~1/3 alcohol, ~1/4 drugs).

There are also a lot of homeless people who had some bad luck and need help getting back on their feet.

There’s no one size fits all fix here, but the idea of giving someone a stack of cash and expecting it to be used responsibly is absurd. There need to be guardrails in place.

I’m not disparaging the people who can’t spend a stack of cash responsibly either. They need help in the form of social services, not money.

Do they think Putin cares?

They didn’t have a pediatric orthopedist there, and for some reason that was necessary for a broken arm.

As a spectator to this, I have to say I find it pretty amusing how confidently incorrect you are.

Your link is talking about banks having cash on hand, but the person you’re trying to argue with was talking about accounting practices.

A lender has a finite amount of money it can lend. Whether that money is transferred electronically or physically is irrelevant.

A lender uses a credit score as a tool to see whether the person can be trusted to pay back the loan, because people who default usually end up costing the company money.

It’s more of a metric to see if a person has a history of making poor financial decisions rather than a way to see what someone’s disposable income is.

This is why medical debt is a bad metric. It doesn’t give any insight into an individuals financial decisions, because the individual almost never chooses to go into debt.

Even if a person paid off their medical debt through a collections agency, it can still be on their report up to 7 years later.

Yeah, adhd is the only reason I have any debt at all.

I kinda want to start a company that will manage money for people like me who struggle with keeping up with such things.

If you have good insurance

With global warming, it’s about to be prime real-estate.

A lot of us tried, but we were outnumbered.
