I worked in one of these call centers just after high-school. Not even a molecule of ethics existed in the entire company. My job involved getting yelled at by people who were sick of getting calls from dozens of different companies, and oc

I had to read the title 10 times before I realized it wasn't someone asking: "how do dat?"

Gonna go ahead and chalk that up to reading comprehension fails. Good times I guess I'm just overly eager to tell Americans how crazy the system they accept is

I think you're using an outlier to compare to an entire population, the argument doesn't really hold up. (indeed, it's unfortunate for your friend and I'm sorry that they're in that situation) For the average person

You forgot: 3. This is actually a good thing, because we get health care when we need it and aren't exposed to crippling debt? (your system entirely indefensible from every possible view point)

This is super fascinating, thanks for the link. The next time I go on a nature walk I am going to soak myself in a bathtub full of bleach first, I'll be invisible.

See the reply by tomkinstinch. It is likely that the combination of gases produced by your skin's microbiome are more attractive to mosquitoes than that of your wife's. This seems more probable than increased amounts of CO2 floati

Fully agree with this. I got rid of any major debt almost a decade ago and it's the only way I keep myself afloat. No car loans, not furniture or electronics that I can't pay cash for, and I keep a credit card only for functional

Pretty much this. I can't afford to commit that level of income to investments, and even if I could, the impact on my financial standing would not be significant (probably? I have no idea what kind of % return you get on an index fund)

If you could go ahead and just outline that program in point form as a reply to this that'd be great

Well, yeah of course all of those things are important factors in what keeps people down. And all of those issues need to be addressed, and the solutions to those issues would probably help her situation immeasurably (aside from health care

Not even remotely true. Getting a post-secondary education, learning to be financially responsible, and not fucking up in any major ways (debt, crime etc) are what helped me escape poverty. Also the support of government programs that helpe

Personally what I find the most frustrating is finally escaping poverty and getting pushed firmly against an artificial, middle-class, ceiling where it isn't possible to become more financially free because of constant inflation and th

This is pretty true. I'm always watching my sister-in-law, who can barely make ends meet, buy stupid shit. Big TV, new furniture that she can barely get credit approval for, clothes that have brands and logos on them that are twice as

seriously though, don't use soap. Just get a nylon scrubber or stiff bristled nylon(or whatever) brush and use salt. Soap is going to remove the seasoning and probably leave a soapy flavor behind

fair enough, don't know why I lump all the "olds" together like that. There has to be a better name for them than the dial-up generation. I grew up with dial-up and I'm not that old.

And they probably saved millions in wages while they were at it. Coming out of college as a mature student I saw so many of my younger classmates absolutely throwing themselves at the worst offers the local job pool presented. I kept tellin
