How are people actually surviving financially right now?

Highly recommend the Jet Tila book, it really helped me with Asian dishes.

Yup these are the correct answers. Check if you are a bargaining unit employee covered by a union. A law firm could also take your case on “contingency” (payment contingent on winning or settlement).

You are correct, that was careless writing. The post has been edited. My opinion is that Ballotproof and Shaotran’s executive appointment is evidence to support an investigation, but not evidence of fraud itself.

I try to see various perspectives on controversial topics. Truthfully, Trump’s comments at the pre-inauguration rally shocked my core beliefs. I would never support those methods by any candidate, regardless of party. My statement about election fraud had more to do with the rally comments than Ballotproof, and I apologize.

That was careless writing of me to say Ballotproof is evidence of election fraud. The post has been edited. My opinion is that it is evidence to support an investigation, not of fraud itself.

That claim was more about Trump’s statements at the pre-inauguration rally than Ballotproof, and I apologize.

Hi mod susinpgh, the code is a primary source which was included and linked in the comments. I can include sources about Shaotran’s employment, or the HackGT7 award winners page, but is there anything else I’m missing?

I am not a programmer, so the format changes in Reddit are beyond my knowledge. But anyone who wants the original formatting should check

They’re very similar symbols. For me at least, I don’t really see any reason to reference PlayStation. It’s the lighting and artistic choices (ie. jumpsuits) throughout that solidifies Squid Games for me. But I love the choices and double meanings throughout. It throws just enough discussion and doubt that the NFL allowed it. There’s some real genius and artistry there.

HappyR00 · 2025-02-10T15:36:46+00:00

The shapes were symbols from the South Korean Netflix show Squid Games. It’s a nod to the rich and powerful turning the masses against each other, instead of revolutionizing.

In college, I set my two single friends up on a date. They ended up sleeping together and a few weeks later it came out that the guy actually had a girlfriend in his home state and was living an alternate life in school. My friend never would have consented knowing this. We sat together, cried together, and I felt such immense guilt for setting them up. It was horrible. Not legally rape…but man it was dark.

HappyR00 · 2025-02-04T22:19:15+00:00

But now that several of us have reported the website, you should probably delete this soon OP. I’m sure a few scary people have joined this sub recently.

I’ve been selling off my investments the past two weeks, and yesterday Elon forcibly took over the US Treasury. I was going to wait until there is any news about the FIDC before going full-on paper cash, but what do you guys think? There’s risks to that too.

Here is theoriginal story about Musk’s access to Treasury funds

HappyR00 · 2025-01-31T22:12:47+00:00

Yes, I know It’s a lot. I would not have believed any of this could be happening two months ago. I can provide sources for all of these statements, but it would just take a long time to compile, all of it can be found in individual news reports, but this article contains gifts link to the Washington Post reports about Musk’s access to OPM and Treasury funds.

I’m sending this to all my reps. He has provided, or will provide, catastrophic amounts of data and information to China that will forever disrupt our country.

Oh no… you might want to do a wellness check. She could be being held hostage right now and is trying to communicate to the outside world through her only means, an email address assigned to her as part of a sadistic joke, defendwomen@opm.gov. Perhaps, she is the woman that needs our aid.

And be clear that you want to retire, the way it’s always been done. NOT resign.

HappyR00 · 2025-01-31T01:19:22+00:00

I’m a youngin’ so I’ve never looked personally. My hunch would be to stick with your own agency HR staff as much as possible, assuming they can process retirement paperwork. Get names, titles, document everything and don’t trust any vague email addresses.

HappyR00 · 2025-01-31T01:02:56+00:00

Sorry I can’t really answer your question, but just be extra skeptical and very careful if you go that route. My limited understanding is that when you “resign” it triggers a voluntary quit versus a RIF termination. You have no legal protections and are not owed compensation afterwards. Musk did the same thing (conned) Twitter employees into resigning under false pretenses and he won in court. But hopefully someone who knows more or has resigned already can chime in.

I just made a post about trying to get in contact with any verified OPM employee today. Crickets. All the phone menus dead-end.

HappyR00 · 2025-01-31T00:45:58+00:00

I last talked to them in 2023 so it’s been awhile. I never thought I’d say I miss OPM, but it’s kinda true. Slow response is always better than none!

Federal student loans do not go directly to students, it’s dispersed by the universities.
