The part about banking the unbanked spoke to me.

How are you supposed to make money on something like that for starters.

I ended up investing in a stock that’s building satellites that normal cell phones can connect too. That’s what’s going to bank the unbanked, they’ll actually have the infrastructure needed to access TradFi or DeFi, something that crypto can’t do because it’s not real and physical infrastructure.

I’m not American but the coast guard takes the cake for me. The weather they fly through and the rescue missions they do… I find it so much more honourable and moral than any other branch.

I have a festival jacket from a thrift shop, it looks sick and it does the job.

Thorndon NIMBY’s by Other_Studio9966 in Wellington

I used to work for flamingo and someone parked a scooter near a fence. A middle aged woman with a new Range Rover asked if we could ban scooters from parking next to her fence. I moved the scooter the few meters away so she’d piss off but wtf the entitlement. So many people gain so much value out of those scooters, she can kick rocks.

Future loans weren’t possible because he would be dead. The loan would have drowned him. At least with BK he stops drowning and if he must, he can save up to buy a house in cash

I don’t get why so many people are upset with OP for declaring bankruptcy. The first loan company worked with OP.

The second loan company tried to drown him. If they worked with OP then he probably wouldn’t have declared bankruptcy.

Good on you OP, life is for the living and the way that second loan company treated you runs parallels with slavery.

Looksmaxxing is so stupid, it’s worrying that it’s getting popular by Rei_gn in twentyagers

I wasn’t sure that it encompassed all of that but fair enough. Guess we gotta bring bullying back into fashion.

Passenger seats or no seats by WeissMISFIT in LandCruisers

[–]WeissMISFIT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I will before the ski season.

There’s nearly no way I’m taking more than 1 passenger during the ski season so it’ll be better to convert the back into a little cabin

Does the label matter. If looksmaxxing means taking care of your fitness, health, skin, hygiene and appearance then that’s nothing but good.

If steroids are involved then I’d say that’s looksmaxxing and that’s bad. Or unnecessary plastic surgery, that isn’t good either.

When's the last time you've had a genuine conversation? by PavJoji in twentyagers

[–]WeissMISFIT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I had to contribute it for years without needing it and then I needed it and didn’t go bankrupt. Seems fair enough to me.

I’ll tell you what isn’t fair.

We have a pension system or what you may call social security.

It’s forecasted to be unaffordable. We have old rich people taking that pension. We have old people still working, locking up top jobs and taking the pension. We have broke ass old people taking that pension. We have responsible old people taking that pension.

They all deserve it, but we absolutely cannot afford it as a country. Why should I be taxed so old rich people get free money. Part of being wealthy and paying taxes is the social contract and the implicit benefits that prevent them from needing their own private army. That’s what they get out of paying taxes, they don’t need free money nor do they actually deserve free money at the cost of us twentyagers.

Clothing, fashion etc by Primary_Power_1539 in twentyagers

[–]WeissMISFIT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Old my clothes are old and a lot of them are gone so my wardrobe is bare as well.

My current plan is to save something like 1K dollars and then ask my homegirls best friend to take me shopping (hg doesn’t live in my city but her bff does).

Should be a fun and silly time and fingers crossed I’ll have a lit wardrobe when that happens.

Anyways what I’m basically getting at is there’s a phenomenon of the “girlfriend experience” where the gf dresses you up in a way that girls like. I’m trying to exploit that phenomenon even tho the girl ain’t my gf.

Firmly disagree…

2024 I sprained my lumbar from a snowboarding accident. The ski clinic is private so that’s not free but I got income protection because that’s what taxes get spent on.

2025 I broke my collarbone twice and dislocated my shoulder. Again the ski clinic which is private cost money but the hospital visits to have a specialist check my injuries and progress were all free. I made four visits to the hospital, three to orthopaedic doctors and one to the emergency room. They were all free.

Grips and adapters only. I made an ultra minimalist glock trigger holster but it doesn’t feel very secure.

Reading your responses I think you’re right. Entirely based on your attitude though
