They assume they’ll have bigger problems, and they may be right. But it’s should still be concerning.
One big recent consequence is it destroys credit short term, like less than a decade.
It's recoverable, but every one counts as a new line of credit, which automatically gets closed about a year after payment.
So unless you also have a lot of zombie credit cards, it's going to keep debt utilization waaaay up, number of accounts waaat up, and keep average age of accounts low.
This snowballs, especially if they ever do but a house. If they day ever comes, they're going to lose alot of money again.
It's like experiencing turbulence on a place so you scream YOLO and start playing Russian roulette.
If the plane goes down, it doesn't matter. If it's normal no big turbulence, then it's just as much an increase in risk as playing on land.
They assume they'll have bigger problems, and they may be right. But it's should still be concerning.
We got a while before kids are unironically bumping this tho
You mean on a different comment where I wrote "quick edit" before it and the timestamp shows it was before you replied to it?
Yeah...
That clearly happened.
But how was I supposed to know what comment you were talking about? That was literally 8 hours ago..
I legitimately don't know why you're so upset people are pointimg out the Ultra Orthodox "special police" are not allowed to report any crimes where the criminal is Jewish.
It's weird, and I'm going to assume you're just intoxicated since it's a holiday.
I hope our next interactions arent like this, but I won't be replying again to this thread. But this is giving off those weird Squid vibes, I blocked them a long time ago for acting like you are now.
you go back and edit your comments
There would be a timestamp if it had been edited...
So I'm not sure what you're talking about, why you're being incivil, or why you came back and replied again to try and start an argument...
He didn't follow the Sith so much reject the Jedi as not good so went down the only path to gain power to do the greatest good he could think of: save Padme
Like, there's obviously real world parrells, but when the "good" option actively prevents people from doing good in the pursuit of perfect balance, some people will go to the side that doesn't care how you use your own personal power. Because you can rationalize that it won't corrupt you.
I mean, you can't really do it without parents.
But there could be a law that any phone tied to a number a minor possesses is locked down so it can't install the apps. It wouldn't stop web based, but apps seem to be a worse problem for various reasons.
It's not even so much the content that's the problem, it's the delivery mechanism, how it effects dopamine release, and how damaging those changes can be to a developing brain.
Its similar to the lootbox system that was regulated in various countries. Human brains will keep trying the next item in their feed because there's a chance something good shows up. If every post was good it would actually cause less addiction.
But a child has shit tier impulse control. They'll going to keep pulling the proverbial level forever, wading thru shit for the slightest dopamine hit. All the meanwhile still being influenced by what they scroll past.

The Jedi weren't "good" they were the absent of evil and that will never be enough for a just society because evil will exploit it eventually.
"This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!" Trump said in the post.
Considering Reagan had the CIA running coke and teaching how to make crack...
I really wouldn't be surprised if Trump is trying to cut out the cartels and import straight into America.
We could see a full blown narco war with all the downsides while supply to US remains uneffected and the people making it happens make billions that's already in untraceable (and untaxable) accounts or just straight pallets of cash/gold.
Use the government to stop competition and your own operation fills the void. It's what Rudy did with the Russian mob back in the day too.
And if that's the plan, supply never goes down and you get a forever war to keep the party in power. Because voters will believe it's still coming from there.
Shit, the only reason it won't go down like that is the people trump listens to aren't smart enough to realize
No, I’m not
100% ok, and all you had to say.

Here's why America's economy is great, but we can't afford basic healthcare and education systems even third world countries have by now.
Yeah, what they're calling AI can't create, they're still just chatbots.
They get "trained" by humans telling them if what they responded was good or bad.
If the humans tell the AI birds aren't real, it's going to tell humans later that birds aren't real. And it'll label everything that disagrees as misinformation or propaganda by the CIA.
Tell an AI that 2+2= banana, and the same thing will happen.
So if conservatives tell it what to say, you'll get an AI that agrees with them.
It's actual a topical concern with musk wanting an AI and likely crowdsourcing trainers for free off Twitter. When every decent human being has left Twitter. If he's able to stick around trumps government long enough and grift the funds to fast track it...
This is a legitimate concern.
As always it's projection, when musk tweeted:
Imagine an all-powerful woke AI
Like it was a bad thing, he was already seeing dollar signs from government contracts to make one based on what Twitter thinks.
how easily identifiable an Orthodox person is by their distinctive clothing
For the men yes...
For teen girls? I honestly have no idea.
That's why waaaaaay up in my first comment. I even asked about it....
But I'd love to get back on topic:
But Shomrim does not share this information with police due to the Torah prohibition against mesirah (informing on a fellow Jew to the non-Jewish authorities)
Did you know about that before just now?
And do you understand this means they do things like let child molestors run rampant when their targets are from families who use the Shormim, and who's school also does?
For a child in that community cut off from the police by the Shormim, they can't reach anyone for help without escaping like from a cult.
Literally the only criminals they try to turn in, are anyone not of their religion.
Anyone of their religion they literally (by their logic) can not hold them accountable in any way.
I truly value your opinion and am trying to understand why someone would support this.
Because honestly?
You think trump ain't thinking of making a Christian version?
The best way to stop that. Is find out how the original is working on people, how someone can be convinced to support such a terrible and evil system
So please, I'm asking honestly:
How can you view the Shormim as a positive for anyone except Orthodox Jewish criminals?
I'm sorry, I don't understand how what you just said is connected to anything I had said.
They're far right extremists that are openly antagonistic to everyone else even they're own larger religion.
And a huge issue with them inserting themselves into law enforcement, is they act as a filter for what is reported to actual law enforcement:
But Shomrim does not share this information with police due to the Torah prohibition against mesirah (informing on a fellow Jew to the non-Jewish authorities)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shomrim_(neighborhood_watch_group)#Police_relations_and_controversy
Do you understand what that means?
These are far right Orthodox, they follow the Torah...
They can't turn in a Jewish person to the police, they can only report to police when the criminal isn't Jewish, and they only respond to crimes when the victim is their specific far right flavor of Judaism.
Did you know any of this?
If not...
I dunno, it would just be incredibly shocking for somewhere to be aware of all the issues with Shomrim but still act like it's a solution and not a problem
Whats going on here?
Quick edit:
As a matter of fact, since they are obligated by what they believe to be orders from their God to not turn a Jewish person in, a simple explanation could be the person who threw the glass was Jewish.
They couldn't turn him in. But would still have to explain the injuries.
Which again, is why I'm having difficulty understanding you defending them.
Say a you g girl is sexually abused. She calls the Shomim because that's what her family does. If her abuser is Jewish...
It ends there and nothing is done. Unless you're now about to suggest theyre also vigilantes and would enforce their own punishment. Which would be surprising, but I guess we'll see how much you'll defend.
There’s one that travels through my neighborhood that will walk right up to you
As crazy as it sounds, that's more dangerous for the deer than spotlighting it and putting it on with no cooperation from the deer...
Like, I can't stress it enough: don't do either, just leave them alone.
Wild animals should be scared of humans and avoid us. Because some humans should 100% be avoided, and most animals are really bad at differentiating. If a deer learns one human can be trusted, they'll trust all of them and walk right up to a hunter expecting food.
And there's lots of ways it can go badly unintentionally too.
If you spotlight a deer and wrestle a vest on it, it's sure as shit gonna avoid the next person it sees at least.
So long run, you're doing more damage letting that deer walk up to you then psychopaths intentionally fucking with them.
Just let nature be nature. Give it space to do it's own thing and remember in the long run no human has been executed for fucking with animals, but loads of animals are put down for doing what millions of years of evolution is telling them to do in a situation.
Keeping us seperate from them is for their benefit, not ours. So even if you like doing it, just stop for their sake.
Are you not aware of the Orthodox private police?
I just don't know why you would find it exhausting to question a story that doesn't make sense from far right extremists so you choose to just believe them...
Do you believe everything Hamas or American Christian extremists claim too?
Or is it just for one of the Abrahmic religions?
I just don't understand why you think questions are exhausting, but everyone thinks differently I guess.
‘These young children were targeted simply for their visibly Jewish identity.’
Maybe if they were in school uniforms? I'm not sure how else they could be so quickly identified from a balcony while walking down the street.
But is the story really that some guy posted up on his balcony waiting for someone he thought was Jewish to throw a bunch of stuff at them? Like, the person who threw stuff would have had seconds from seeing them to throwing if that's what happened.
It just doesn't make any logical sense, especially since it acts like the balcony was really high up, but if they were just walking by it's probably not as easy to hit someone intentionally in the like 2 seconds it takes them to walk by.
There's just a huge amount of holes in this story.
There's also this:
The girl was badly injured and rushed to Royal London Hospital by Hatzola Ambulance volunteers.
Neighbourhood watch group Shomrim, which protects the Jewish population in Stamford Hill, said the attack had ‘deeply shocked the community’.
There was no actual authorities at the scene until after the far right orthodox "volunteer police" who routinely harras anyone that isn't Orthodox (even if they still Jewish) and their own ambulance service who only serves people of their specific right wing conservative religion?
Like, we have the word of a bunch of far right religious extremists that a situation happened exactly as they said it...
Or they're making shit up to play victim.
But it makes sense why only a tabloid owned by the Daily Mail is reporting it.
Do people just legitimately not know about spotlighting anymore?
I identify the practice my name, "spotlighting".
Like, they think “deer in the headlights”
I reference the widely known phrase in case someone isn't familiar with spotlighting.
means the deer is suicidal and wants to die?
I mention sarcastically that there must be another reason they freeze when they see a car at night besides suicidal ideations.
Granted I grew up significantly more hillbilly than most
I pre-emptively explain that my rural upbringing isn't common.
but I thought everyone knew what an animal does when a bright ass light suddenly shines in its face. It stands completely still. Focuses only on the light, and won’t even respond to a car at 60mph, much less someone else approaching with a safety vest.
Then I broke it down, which magically worked the second time....
So I know this is probably going to come off as me being a dick, but that's not what I'm trying to do. This is a very very important point that needs to be made:
That logical leap wasn’t explicit in your original comment at all
If you don't understand something, ask for clarification first before assuming someone didn't read an article and throwing shade.
You personally didn't understand the connection and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, ever. But the next step is just asking so you can understand.
Granted this isn't incredibly useful information, but because I took the time to ask what you were talking about and took a guess with what you had difficulty with and explained that, you wound up learning something.
If I had just responded in kind, we'd have just pissed each other off on Thanksgiving and learned nothing.
So next time if you read something and it doesn't click, just ask for clarification.
I think you're confused...
“It’s astonishing [to] me that someone was able to get it on the deer without serious injury to either party,” said Arnold. “I hope the jacket comes off either on its own or with help from conservation officers before it becomes a problem for the deer.
The answer is:
but I thought everyone knew what an animal does when a bright ass light suddenly shines in its face. It stands completely still. Focuses only on the light, and won’t even respond to a car at 60mph, much less someone else approaching with a safety vest.
I don't understand why youre telling me to read the article for answering the question it asks...
Did you think I was encouraging this because I explained how it was almost certainly done?
I'm sure Israel views their firing tanks at multiple locations across the border "reasonable" and expects Lebanon to still be held to it.
Well, that was on Wednesday...
Israel's military said on Thursday it had detected "suspects" in several areas in southern Lebanon, calling this a violation of a ceasefire with Hezbollah.
On Thursday morning, Israeli tank fire hit six areas within the border strip, state media said.
The rounds struck Markaba, Wazzani and Kfarchouba, Khiyam, Taybe and the agricultural plains around Marjayoun — all of which lie within two kilometres of the Blue Line demarcating the border between Lebanon and Israel.
The ceasefire was scheduled to take effect from 4am local time on Wednesday.
Israel has already started firing off tanks again because people in Lebanon returned to their homes after the "ceasefire"
Bibi isn't the business of giving land back.
Edit:
If anyone wants to claim this was "reasonable" I suggest starting with how Israel is allowed to dictate who is allowed where inside of a foreign country they have zero authority over. And where in the ceasefire agreement this was a condition
Israel's military said on Thursday it had detected "suspects" in several areas in southern Lebanon, calling this a violation of a ceasefire with Hezbollah.

Man in Yellow and the Monsters deal
So it'll be a while till next season, but the creators have always said 5 seasons to tell the story, and there's gotta be another big twist in the next two seasons.
But I think what we'll find out is Jade and Tabitha's original selves weren't just parents of one of the kids, they're the ones who made the deal with MiY.
I think it's not even that they failed to save their child, I think they went through with it, and got what they wanted.
They get reincarnated over and over again. They live forever and don't spend the whole time stuck in town like the others as monsters.
It's possible they were originally like the rest, and somehow found a way to escape and be normal. That would explain why their reincarnations keep getting pulled back. And why/how someone as powerful as MiY was locked up by a song the two used to sing to the children.
So it's more that those two staged a coup against MiY and were able to escape from his realm than these two have always been trying to free the children. Maybe that happened as soon as the deal was fulfilled, maybe after they'd been monsters for decades before getting out.
Maybe the only reason they get to leave, is they're ignorant of their role in things. If they remember too much, they lose their humanity again and become monsters like the rest.
So the overarching story is about them going from villian to hero and their redemption by freeing the children for selfish reasons after forgetting they were the ones that caused.
Like how in Good Place you had to be ignorant of the points system or the points don't count. They have to not know they're responsible to have pure motivations to free the children.
It's just we're only getting the very end of the story. Which I think is what's being set up by Julie being a "story walker". She'll be able to eventually show us what happened at the very beginning, way back when the deal was made.
And that means when the creators said "if you figure out the beginning, you'll know the whole story" they weren't talking about the begining of the show or what we've seen. But the literal begining of the town when the deal was made.
There's two seasons left, knowing the monsters are the kids parents isn't "the whole story" or there wouldn't be two more seasons.
Requesting /fantheories
Can I mod /fantheories?
The only mod created it a year ago, made a single post there, and hasn't made a comment/post anywhere in over four months.
They mod about 50 communities, all of them seem to be ghost towns the account was just squatting on.
So not sure if you just want to delete those so when someone wants to create it they can.
Jeffrey Michael Kelly, 60, was also arrested on suspicion of leaving white powder on political signs in Ahwatukee, according to Tempe police.
The reason it fits this sub, is they already knew this guy was an extremist committing crimes 2 years, long before he started shooting up Dem offices.
The cops just felt it wasnt in the interest of their personal safety to stop him, which lead to him escalating his crimes over the years.
>Despite evidence pointing to Kelly as the perpetrator, Weich said law enforcement did not move to arrest him. Weich said that Phoenix police feared that approaching Kelly would pose a threat to their safety. A prosecutor out of the Phoenix City Attorney’s Office declined to pursue charges, Weich said.
Which lead to this:
>Kelly was arrested about 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday during a traffic stop. Kelly's attorney Squires said his vehicle was stopped using a grappler that hooked the car from behind. "That is quite shocking to a person who's never had any previous allegations at all," Squires said in court.
>Squires said in court the car was then surrounded by more than a dozen law enforcement personnel.
>The prosecutor said Kelly had numerous guns in his car, including a machine gun. He did not have his cellphone. Similarly, no cellphone was tracked behind during the shootings at the Democratic office, the prosecutor said. That led authorities to believe he was on his way to "potentially do something," the prosecutor said.

Votes won’t be counted for Arkansas medical marijuana ballot measure, court says
The Arkansas Supreme Court has ruled that votes won't be counted for a measure that would have expanded medical marijuana.
>Arkansas voters won’t get to weigh in on a ballot initiative to expand medical marijuana after the state Supreme Court ruled the measure didn’t fully explain what it would do, tossing out the initiative just two weeks before the election.
>It’s too late to remove the measure from the ballot — early voting began Monday — so the court has ordered election officials not to count any votes cast on it. The proposed constitutional amendment would have broadened the definition of medical professionals who can certify patients for medical cannabis, expanded qualifying conditions and made medical cannabis cards valid for three years.

A new study finds that every year people create 57 million tons of plastic pollution. The material winds up everywhere from the deepest oceans to the highest peak of Mount Everest to inside people's body.
>India leads the world in generating plastic pollution, producing 10.2 million tons a year (9.3 million metric tons), far more than double the next big-polluting nations, Nigeria and Indonesia. China, often villainized for pollution, ranks fourth but is making tremendous strides in reducing waste, Velis said. Other top plastic polluters are Pakistan, Bangladesh, Russia and Brazil. Those eight nations are responsible for more than half of the globe’s plastic pollution, according to the study’s data.
>The United States ranks 90th in plastic pollution with more than 52,500 tons (47,600 metric tons) and the United Kingdom ranks 135th with nearly 5,100 tons (4,600 metric tons), according to the study.
A decision on a major policy shift on marijuana won’t come until after the presidential election
A decision on whether to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug in the U.S. won’t come until after the November presidential election.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration last week set a hearing date to take comment on the proposed historic change in federal drug policy for Dec. 2.
The hearing date means a final decision could well come in the next administration. While it’s possible it could precede the end of President Joe Biden’s term, issuing it before Inauguration Day “would be pretty expedited,” said cannabis lawyer Brian Vicente.
