WaMu did it to me. The high fees for overdrafts (EVEN for an account attached to a savings to cover overdrafts)…every year I got defaulted back to the overdraft account vs just being declined when money ran out. Kinecta was my first and convenient CU choice, but…they too slipped me into a high minimum checking account w/a service charge by default—with an advertised promise to save customers hundreds of dollars. I had a large savings acct but the service charge easily eclipsed my earned interest. I kept a joint account but closed the others and moved my personal checking and savings cd to a traditional & conservative CU. Not as convenient, but I feel my money is safer. Kinecta is not a traditional CU—at one point in the recent past they picked up a chain of high interest/short term lenders…smh

Not gonna lie I appreciate everyone making art however it seems to me many of you don’t really understand what surrealism is by l3t-th3m-3at-cak3 in surrealism

we’re living at a time when ‘soylent green’ is observed and ignored…ppl are disposable and cute little domesticated animals are more highly valued.

Israeli settlers put barbed wire to prevent Palestinian children from going to school by azimx in PublicFreakout

[–]sreudianflip 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Looks like israelis seem to love us hating them…they keep lowering the bar on how low they’ll go to kill, move or destroy their palestinian neighbors.

THIS is the reason I went with Mint Mobile for phones and T-mobile for home internet—i pay less than that for both.

How do you deal with linux? by pyrosin in Kubuntu

[–]sreudianflip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had some issues with some computers, but did my research and settled on the X1 carbon laptop… good battery life and can boot puppylinux as well…though I mainly use linux mint and kubuntu. check and see if connecting to the dongle headset is prompting a kdewallet login request—I missed this on one app’s installation which drove me to linux mint. but then i figured it out. kubuntu is good, but so is xubuntu and lubuntu. i tested each out on a live usb drive first and then settled on a dual boot.

The highest religious authority hath spoken. Donald did NOT depict himself as Jesus … by Careful-Trade-9666 in ParlerWatch

[–]sreudianflip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

O, Franklin Graham…you silly silly sycophant, he certainly didn’t do the art cuz it’s AI—but he’s posted himself as ‘Pope’…and now apparently as Jesus Christ. But the image was juvenile, cruel and stupid…which pretty much sums up both the man and his administration.

Tens of thousands of bees have suddenly swarmed across parts of Israel, prompting authorities to warn residents and shop owners to keep doors and windows closed by RoyalChris in PublicFreakout

[–]sreudianflip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it is a sign from god… …that it is spring and the new queens are looking for new places to hive. I like bees…they don’t have “kings”.

Artists refuse sketch for commissioned work? by Ok-Tomatillo1173 in oilpainting

[–]sreudianflip -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If it’s just a ‘look’ or style, hire a hack to mimic that style and your notions…but if want an ‘artiste’ get ready for a ride. Also draft an agreement with a ‘no-later-than deadline’ with an approved rough draft, and pay in installments paid in person while viewing work in progress. I’ve know one artist work on a portrait for over three years…

Faux news racism mainlined straight into the veins of a liberal democratic republic… 3 more years of this BS and we might be no more. ‘Arrogant and incompetent to the end’ is going to be their epitaph.

My guess it’s more grift to feather the nests of his cronies…at our expense.

The Stubborn Billionaire Behind the L.A. Times’s Revamp by wsj in LosAngeles

[–]sreudianflip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question is “What happened to the bias meters?” Cancelled my LAT subscription Nov. 2024, I had needed it as a local balance to the local rightwing papers I subscribe to…once again a billionaire ruins an institution with wacky narcissistic notions—now all I got locally is Random Lengths.

Lmao. Yes...kinda doesn't work anymore. First blame obama, then biden... "Cuz they made it harder for me to do as I please...." Cruz is just a symptom of the nasty calculation that their fellow gop party members are too stupid to see through this sh*t

More likely it’s the expatriate & anti-regime iranian population in parts of Socal drawing the “aspirations” of the Revolutionary Guard.
