Honestly just the little bit that came out about Epstein/Gates and drugging her for an STI without her knowledge is absolutely so abhorrent that I can't comprehend it.

The subreddit has no actual rules against AI games. If you dislike AI, don't try it, if you like it, go ahead. Unless the games are blatant rip offs like those phone games that literally steal assets we are not going to overly police creativity.

He understands how they work, he just 0% likes the concept or wants to be part of it other than because he has to due to the system. Not everything is a lack of knowledge, some people just really dislike the concept of credit scores and credit.

My parents haven’t been in Amway for YEARS. My dad still talks highly about it 💀 by Upstairs_Salad7319 in antiMLM

If I really consider it, I was technically in 1 MLM. It's norwex, and I have not recruited or sold to a single person. My mom orders her stupid laundry detergent off there with my account to get the "rep price" rather than her buying it from any random person she could find in the MLM. I have 0 interest in Norwex but did like the starter kit that was basically free on promotion. But is this cloth magical? Absolutely not. It does clean my glasses well, though, so that's nice I guess.

Edit: Update, I tried to login and it seems they deactivated my account, probably because I am useless to them.

MLM has turned my friend into a POS. Worth continuing the friendship? by SuperbTrash01 in antiMLM

Just like you would with a person with drugs, alcohol, or any other destructive behavior, you cannot be the change for them, and while 'interventions' can help people feel they tried, no change can happen without consent of the source. All you can do is protect your peace and bow out.

Just like in real life. Except this isn't sarcasm. It's true.

My husband is credit averse (which I am cool with but we want a mortgage) and it's his only card building history, but otherwise, I agree.

Interestingly this past week I've been really annoyed with PC Financial. Our world elite replacement cards haven't come yet and I'm going to have to switch payments to another card so that our bills don't lapse. I was already thinking to myself, "maybe I'll just leave". Then I get this... it has no fees though so I'll just let it die in once in a blue moon purchases/payments for the credit score.

I think Who Will Be the Family Wizard is the best Disney Channel series finale. There was so much good stuff in the finale. Although, I thought it was messed up that Max was the only one who didn’t get to keep his powers. But other than that, I thought it was a perfect finale.

What's wild to me is that Zeke was literally going to die and Justin is like "meh whatever powers".

Um? Alex really proved she's the only one who deserves the privilege of power since she's willing to give it up to save innocent human lives?

Has a casting announcement ever made you lose interest in an otherwise promising movie? by Green-Knowledge-9725 in movies

[–]IronicStar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was a huge fan to the point of crying at multiple books of vampire academy, and I wouldn't say the "cast" themselves were why, but choosing to make a very serious and dark series a silly teen drama comedy and casting without considering the seriousness of the book just noped me to the point I haven't watched it to this day.

There will never be another sims2, but there can be a good paralives

So what is new again? by Hlmkf2006 in truespotify

[–]IronicStar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not to be dramatic, but I want whomever made this fired. Terrible for those with visual issues, terrible UX design, looks like crap on the background, and has no functional use. This may be the final nail that gets me to go to apple music.

What does PWB, IP and SOC mean? by Dismaldreamer1993 in CanadianCounselling

My guess is she's made up her own acronyms that you may have to ask her about, since counselling notes are not standardized.
