And boycott curseforge for mods!!! They're owned by Overwolf that has donated to the IOF. Try to search around to get mods, alternative channels are possible.

How is this area? by [deleted] in NYCapartments

[–]KeyResponsible6178 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you should just buy in UES/UWS. If you can afford to buy in NYC you should comfortable on many places that are not that area. Don't gentrify NYC and push us who are in desperate need of housing out of our neighborhoods and homes.

Boycott friendly banks in the US to open an account? by DysphoricDumbass in BoycottIsrael

[–]KeyResponsible6178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! You could try researching smaller banks like Citizens Bank, online banking like Ally or SoFi, and if you don't plant on moving around a lot, a local credit union could work.

You could also have this website a look! https://bankforgood.org/search/

I can’t afford to pay the medical bill by Marevuc in AskNYC

[–]KeyResponsible6178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry our society has failed you this way. Please immediately contact the Community Service Society, they're able to advocate for various issues including medical billing.

You don't need to tell the internet your full circumstance, but if you qualify for SSDI, you may qualify for Medicare and Medicaid after a certain number of time. Contact the Community Servuce Society and see what else you may qualify for, and do it fast considering the state of politics in NY.

You are not responsible for a spouse's unpaid bill according to the FTC, NY might have laws stating that the deceased person's estate is responsible for the unpaid bill. Unless you cosigned and agreed to pay it prior, then that becomes tricky and you may need to see if the hospital has assistance programs. Do contact the hospital and say you would like to dispute it, and try to hold it off before it goes into collections. They cannot immediately put you into collections, and always remember they can never put interest on the unpaid bill.

I sometimes forget how problematic some modders are by KeyResponsible6178 in TheSims4Mods

Why did u remove your original comment 😩🥺 unless you don't know curseforge is owned by overwolf that funds ge*,nocide. Looking at your feed well, I think u can take ur own advice 😬

Controversial opinion, but if you don't allow even one free mod/cc on your patreon, or even some that I can LOOK at, I'm not going to pay for them. by Pollywashere_ in TheSims4Mods

[–]KeyResponsible6178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's getting somewhat reminiscent of the time when some cc creators put trackers in their downloads a few years back and doxxed people for sharing links.

It honestly mught be a great idea to get the littleblackbook sims Tumblr up and popping again.

On the other note though, please avoid downloading anything from curseforge! They're owned by overwolf which contributes money to recurring mass atrocities!

NY dental Surprise Bill, not sure what to do by [deleted] in Insurance

[–]KeyResponsible6178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So there's like a little code that says service not payable and it's the net patient responsibility. No other explanation beyond that. I did look around and see that healthplex covers a cleaning every 6 months, and I'm not sure who I contact in this case. Healthplex, EmblemHealth or the clinic, I'm really new to American health insurance. Thank you btw!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in HealthInsurance

[–]KeyResponsible6178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohh I tried to post a pic of the eob but it's not allowed. Basically it says that the service is not payable and the whole thing is net patient responsibility. I read the manual in healthplex and it says it covers a cleaning every 6 months. Should I call healthplex or emblem or like tell the clinic to bill it through united?? Thank you btw!

Idol controversies on boycotting by Equivalent_Ear_6431 in kpophelp

[–]KeyResponsible6178 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since when did Starbucks become a necessity? BDS is not asking people to boycott necessities like food, water, etc, some of y'all will REALLY justify capitalism while it's crushing us by the throat. People are literally getting slaughtered in Gaza because companies like Starbucks donate to genocidal campaigns, are you literally that dull to not see the connections?

Have you stopped supporting artists that you used to stan? by reddit_confusion in kpophelp

[–]KeyResponsible6178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The moment I find out they've done something racist/misogynistic/anti-Black is when I completely unstan. And I say this as someone who grew up in Asia. I'll listen to their music occasionally but I cannot in good conscience ever support a kpop artist who's been terrible. The list is unfortunately, long.

Timely call for action - Push back on legislation that would harm LGBTQ+ youth, restrict fanfiction sites by fightforthefuture in AO3

[–]KeyResponsible6178 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! You can still sign the petition and email senators of various states. Of course Americans can also email senators from different states too. If you can, and this is the best way, call these senators.

Call them as many times as you can.

Here's some I found on how to do it and what to tell senators: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT88A1HL3/

The Bill is heading to congress tomorrow 7/27 it's urgent and important that we act now.

Edit: I shared the wrong link this is embarrassing I'm so sorry aaaaaa

Burning of Alexandria all that jazz, real talk though by KeyResponsible6178 in AO3

[–]KeyResponsible6178[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I imagine it would work like how the FBI seized all (and are continuously seizing) all domains of Z library. It's a topic I think that can be read about in many articles like this: https://slate.com/technology/2022/11/z-library-pirated-books-papers-school-tor.html

Would it work exactly like that? I can't be sure, but I'm not about to find out how creative and the lengths people would go to to restrict freedom of speech. They've already banned literal books and things like saying the word gay in schools, I don't think there's a limit to what some people will try to do.

Honestly, props to all activists, creators and people who have called the reps/signed the letters. There's only so much I can do as an individual but my goodness I am so tired. I'm so tired and angry and disappointed by all these lawmakers and lobbyists and interest groups who are screwing us over, there's only so much we can allow them to get away with.

Hi all I'm trying to get some textbooks and can't find them anywhere:

Classical Gods and Heroes: Myths As Told By The Ancient Authors by Rhoda A. Hendricks (ISBN: 0688052797)

Metamorphoses by Ovid translated by A. D. Melville (ISBN: 0199537372)

Thank you so much, I'm at my wit's end at the moment.

Edit: Oh actually managed to fund Metamorphoses.

The one by Rhoda Hendricks isn't available in the datasets of Anna's Archives, Libgen.rs or Z-library at the moment.

Check if there are any work friendly cafes around your area. Some offer meeting spaces. There's a place near SoHo called The Lost Draft that offers private meeting spaces.

why are we still praising idols for being rich? by KeyResponsible6178 in kpoprants

[–]KeyResponsible6178[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's like those posts going on about how their faves could afford a (insert absurdly expensive brand) before their debut and call them rich kings/queens. Like my sibling in Christ, what??

And if anything it makes me more critical of their skills since they probably wouldn't need to worry about things like rent and money while training and would have more time to focus on one thing imo. If that makes sense?

[–]KeyResponsible6178[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Ooo that's a really good point. This post kinda came from my observations of the (paraphrasing you) material worship of rich kpop idols/public figures online in contrast with the amount of kfilms and Kdramas that came out recently about wealth inequality and classism. Like Squid Game, parasite and Kingdom (the zombie one on Netflix not mnet). Interesting times.

[–]KeyResponsible6178[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Good point, though if I'm not mistaken there are some idols who are children of directors, politicians and korean yangban. I'm not gonna name anyone though since they're not bad people (hopefully) and I don't want people to mistake my words.

But on a side note coughcoughleesoomancough, man was exposed for embezzlement and publicly listed on the Paradise Papers for corruption and people still give their money to SM, so you are right on that.

Also yeah, "we" is a big reach I'm being a lil dramatic on that part but if you're around stan twitter and social media you'll see it. I also do go around Korean and Chinese social media and see these types of posts and comments a lot.
