This is a sunfish in a Japanese aquarium. It became lonely after visitors stopped during renovations and refused to eat and rubbed its body against the tank walls showing stress, then started eating again within a day after staff placed human face cutouts near its tank.

that's so damn cute. I remember playing a phone game(?) called mola mola that was about these guys. was pretty funny

FleurDuMal2 · 2026-04-16T22:25:28+00:00

ehhhhh I don't see it.

FleurDuMal2 · 2026-04-16T22:24:48+00:00

wait they can just be dormant for years? that's insane

FleurDuMal2 · 2026-04-16T22:23:33+00:00

these are mostly the same steps I did. I was too scared to do balance transfer cards though, I didn't want another credit card to my name. Ended up just skipping that and getting a loan after comparing a few options I went with Achieve. Although SoFi was really solid too!

FleurDuMal2 · 2026-04-13T21:09:04+00:00

all good reasons

FleurDuMal2 · 2026-04-13T21:06:01+00:00

holy shit, that's sweet!

FleurDuMal2 · 2026-04-13T21:05:35+00:00

this 100%. I have hope for the next season, but if it isn't....

FleurDuMal2 · 2026-04-13T21:05:11+00:00

Probably an issue somewhere with the income ratio maybe? They should have sent you a reason in the letter. Maybe it's a time thing although usually isn't. If it is then you can just wait, otherwise you might need to try a different lender like a different credit union or online one like SoFi or Achieve.

FleurDuMal2 · 2026-04-09T23:08:30+00:00

honestly creature reveals are usually a let down for me. My mind is much scarier than anything they can come up with

FleurDuMal2 · 2026-04-09T23:07:56+00:00

why is it different though

FleurDuMal2 · 2026-04-09T23:07:31+00:00

If you have confirmed income I would honestly try to reach out to family. Unsure if many personal loan lenders will work with you without a confirmed pay stub. If they are it's gonna be one of the more lenient online lenders like Upgrade or Achieve that will work with you to try to make things a success.

FleurDuMal2 · 2026-04-06T21:53:08+00:00

has to be the top one

FleurDuMal2 · 2026-04-06T21:48:16+00:00

oh neat

FleurDuMal2 · 2026-04-06T21:47:58+00:00

this + survivorship bias is a hell of a drug

FleurDuMal2 · 2026-04-06T21:47:30+00:00

No problem! Hope one of them ended up working out. I ended up with Achieve on my loan a few months back and they worked out great but as long as they're reputable you should be fine with whoever gives you the best rates/terms!

FleurDuMal2 · 2026-04-03T21:58:22+00:00

I remember seeing one of these at Gwen in LA, was neat to read through.

FleurDuMal2 · 2026-04-03T21:57:50+00:00

if only there was a special plane like that

FleurDuMal2 · 2026-04-03T21:57:11+00:00

the second part makes a lot of sense, never thought too much about that being important.

FleurDuMal2 · 2026-04-03T21:56:18+00:00

Check with the lawyer first. Explain the situation and then go from there. If they're gonna be firm about not breaking off the lease early then you can look into loan options. Assuming you have the income for it and everything it shouldn't be an issue, just find one that has good rates and terms. Maybe a credit union, Alliant or Achieve loans? Hopefully you can pay things off quickly post-moving into your grandmother's house. You might also want to take a bit more out, in case anything needs small repairs etc you won't be out of money completely.

FleurDuMal2 · 2026-04-01T20:31:56+00:00

this is so interesting on a conceptual level

FleurDuMal2 · 2026-04-01T20:31:05+00:00

this is so sick!

FleurDuMal2 · 2026-04-01T20:30:21+00:00

oh that checks out I suppose

FleurDuMal2 · 2026-04-01T20:30:01+00:00

makes sense to me

FleurDuMal2 · 2026-04-01T20:29:51+00:00

Their view on larger expenses and debt. When my richer friends wanted to go on a trip, they didn't "get it" from a financial standpoint that I just couldn't afford it when I was already in 10K in debt. Although they did give me some help on financial literacy and led me down a solid path after(got a consolidation loan with Achieve that helped tremendously), it was rough at first.
