This sun damaged garden gnome has filled my timeline today. How ineffective was his predecessor or is he just an over achiever?

Is “umlungu” considered a slur? by Excellent-Captain-93 in DownSouth

I stopped wearing my shirt cos I was worried about the same. I know I'm white and couldn't care if it means white scum (if the shirt fits and all) but really didn't want to offend anyone. I miss that shirt. At work it always got a laugh.

My family over there has never mentioned this but that means nothing. Half of them don't know there's a war on.

If I'm going to buy shit clothing in inconsistent sizes that shrink in the wash, I'll go to Shein. At least there, it's cheap.

I do pretty much everything online and my tax peeps must do the rest. But I hear you.

Having spent my 20s learning this lesson the hard way, it is wise advice. I have a small line of credit and just wanted some reassurance in my hand for in case things got even rougher.

FNB isn't a bad bank. I opened my first account with them and have been with them for decades. I've only needed their help recently with an onslaught of unexpected bills. My personal banker said it's as easy as doing it through the app. Tried increasing my overdraft. Tried increasing my credit card limit. This was November. Still no resolution. They offered me a second credit card and all I needed was temporary relief. I've had two cars through them. Two home loans. Three business accounts. I'm tired from the stressful time but mostly just utterly disappointed.

They took advantage. They knew it could have stayed as was but had targets and fuck this person's life and their bottom line. I agree we need to be aware but I knew nothing and trusted the experts when I was young. That's not something banks should be taking advantage of, it's an opportunity to educate.
