Living paycheck-to-paycheck doesn’t necessarily mean hardship, and LendingClub makes the distinction between those can pay their bills easily and those who can’t. Only a fraction of high earners – roughly one in ten – reported issues covering all their household expenses in April, according to the survey.

I guess the distinction is whether it means hardship for LendingClub. Fuck me, imagine reading shit like this credulously.

Dunno, I’m still waiting for HL3 so I haven’t played that expansion yet

Hehe “trigger” warning

You should just do a run around their ban. Karma is meaningless compared to the message and violating their tos to continue speaking it is praxis

Does this provide a special sound? Have to do with their style? Just fun? I dunno most about drums

Lol getting a bone. Or i guess i can look at the pine trees if I’m supine

I’m still trying to remember the difference between pron3/supine

Wonder how many Texas golf courses are fed by the Rio grande basin?

My favorite one:

Allow Them To Grow Older And More Disillusioned

Letting the world wring the idealism from them should make it easier for Gen Z to stomach a man who, in any other context but an American presidential election, is an unrepentant monster

He had no resistance, he had no plan, he had no ideology, or grand vision.

I think the small difference in our opinions is perhaps our different meanings ascribed to the word “resistance”, which does not (in my mind) have anything to do with a vision or an ideology. It can of course but a simpler, baser resistance is what he did, and what i mean.

Why couldn’t Lawrence just become the killer the US military wanted him to be? Perhaps he himself didn’t know, but in the end instead of moved by the inexorable power to change in to something he was not, he resisted this change. He could not be moved, could not be moulded into what they wanted him to be, “went crazy”.

It wasn’t a choice, youre right. He couldn’t become it. And unfortunately (j/k fortunately. a speech would be dumb) he didn’t have the screen time to write a speech on why he did what he did. We’re left to guess why he made this decision. Now if we all had an assignment to write a paper on leonard’s motivations but weren’t allowed to use the word “crazy” or anything about his intelligence, what would one say was going through his mind?

Great movies that don’t tell the audience everything also invite the audience to make these connections themselves. There’s no right answer either of us will walk away with here but it’s a fun exercise and a good one; one shouldn’t just dismiss these ideas because they are not spelled out explicitly

Any act of resistance was by complete accident. He was just pushed over the edge.

Are those two things any different, really? Some people, maybe most people, respond to unrelenting pressure by giving in. Hell maybe Pyle was mostly like this for the most part. Maybe most of us also have one thing we can’t abide, one thing where we’d break before we aquiesced. Isn’t that what resistance is?

This is the only true canon ending for me ain’t no way I’m letting her go in favor of that worthless town yo

Ok 'bears! Finish this headline game! I’ll start

His mind is decaying faster than… American Democracy

His mind is decaying faster… and furioser.

His mind is decaying faster than fetterman’s bait n switch

“Something something sheer fucking will”

…yeah

I already have me copy!

Ok lol, mask off. Every…ridiculous opinion you have shared? I have heard, considered, and through careful thought dismissed. Before. Long before.

You came here today show your knowlege. Which is limited to what you hear on tv? Cool. If i want to hear a parrot ill buy a bird.

So i don’t care if youve just got to get one more smug shot in, hurry and do it then get the fuck out of my face. No blocks homie, just get gone.

It’s only logically moot specifically because there’s only two options.

This is also not true, which is why i said your idea of what voting itself is reductive. There are of course more than two options this and every election.

Allowing your mind to bend to their narrative, believing that voting is a binary choice is one way their democracy-destroying little game works.

If voting were only two choices, i wouldn’t vote at all as you seem to suspect. but it isn’t. i will in fact be participating as i have done for 30 years. Just not gonna do it the way you’d like, an imaginary binary election. Before you say it, there is also no such thing as throwing a vote away.

Right? Who else are they gonna find with exactly the same takes and no political acumen to beat over the head with facts? It’s fun, but it’s like fighting in a dream. No matter how hard you hit, online libs have pillowskulls
