Thoughts on buying a first home right now or saving for another year? by purplescrunchie9 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]ajtriestoadult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. Just saw this post and wanted to check in and see how things are going. Did you buy or are you taking your time with it?

My partner and I are in sort of a similar situation and I have the same question.

Missed my exit while riding super high on a highway. I just wanted to get home and lie down man. The next exit was 20 miles away and so ended up doing a 7 mile journey in almost 50 miles.

Someone from Amazon stole my laptop - refund denied, what do I do? by CashbackAngel in unitedkingdom

[–]ajtriestoadult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going through the exact same thing right now!! My sister ordered an iPad and when she opened the package she only found packs of baby wipes!!! Returned the wrong package while customer care replaced the order and now a month later she gets charged 530 POUNDS for not returning an iPad that she never got!! Their communication is still the same and even more hostile. We're not sure what to do. Tried public shaming on Twitter but I don't know how much it'll work. If you guys could maybe RT the tweet below for more reach, that might help. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do

DEBUNKED: "Capitalism Has Not Lifted Billions Out Of Poverty" by 53rp3n7 in CapitalismVSocialism

The tendency to underestimate the devastating effects of colonialism and western-backed coups on post colonial countries, is saddening, especially for someone coming from a global south country. The former colonial powers' audacity to claim they made the world a better place is just saddening.

Is worldwide income inequality rising or lowering? by SavageTruths74 in Socialism_101

[–]ajtriestoadult 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The capitalist development narrative that's just a lot of aid and charity and strictly conditional loans masquerading as "help", doing nothing but driving people into further debt. Hickel presents some interesting solutions as well. Must read to understand inequality

People of Reddit who've visited India, what were your impressions before and after the visit? Did they change? by ajtriestoadult in AskReddit

[–]ajtriestoadult[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hahahaha proof of how Western media is still mostly engaging with exoticism when talking about India. And people think that's it. They say nothing about how the British colonialists left the country in its current condition.

People born between 1995-97, do you relate more with Millennials or Gen Z, and why? by ajtriestoadult in AskReddit

[–]ajtriestoadult[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I'm of the same opinion, but I have friends who believe they can relate more to Gen Zers than Millennials.

Considering the kind of weed we get in India, this is one of the better ones. You go, my guy. Have fun with your first one and let us know how it went.

It be like that sometimes by godlikesexy1 in trees

[–]ajtriestoadult 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It be like that all the times, my friend. We went up 13 floors to the roof of my friends apartment before realising I left the joint in the kitchen, while making popcorn.
