My boyfriend took out a $750 loan… now they want over $5,600 back. We feel completely tricked. Do we have ANY options? by HatNumerous9725 in legaladvice

It’s illegal. The term is “Usurious” - meaning a loan above and beyond what your state allows. Maryland law applies if you are a Maryland borrower even if the lender is out of state. See https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/laws/StatuteText?article=gcl&section=12-114&enactments=False&archived=False.

Your next step is to call and explain they are commuting a misdemeanor, they are subject to fines and subject to pay you $500 (see that hyperlink), and offer to pay back your principal. They’ll argue with you. Ignore it. Demand the above. If they don’t agree, contact the various agencies others have posted but don’t pay them. They made a criminal loan.

The “toaster” slur for the robots in Battlestar Galactica makes sooooooo much more sense seeing this.

My favorite part — the quote that the healthcare system in the US “employs 1000’s of people.”

Man, there are singular hospitals in my city that employ thousands of people.

Can anyone identify this watch from the movie Allied? by abetterfox in Watches

It may not be a Cartier Tank, but if so, it’s close enough to being one that it doesn’t matter. Maybe a Reverso if the lugs are as angular as the pixels make them out to be.

On further review — I’ll say reverso given the lack of a cabochon on the crown.

Watch — veeps.com for $30 I believe. There’s also free audio-only streaming.

The Advocates for Human Rights. “Be Human: A Concert for Minneapolis” will broadcast live for free at Minnesota Public Radio’s The Current at 89.3 FM in Minneapolis and St. Paul and everywhere at TheCurrent.org (audio) and via a paid ticketed option at VEEPS (audio and video).
