Because credit is partially based on the age of your accounts, so if you've only got a few accounts and you close an older one (such as a car loan) it reduces the average age of your accounts and can hurt your score.

Bernie Sanders calls on Congress to block funding to Israel
Reply in thread
It was a lot of stuff. I'm still mad about it. Of the top of my head: they very quickly got rid of polling locations in places he was polling high in multiple states after they realized he was doing well and people were standing in line to vote for over 8 hours, they lied about stupid shit like the fake chair throwing thing they made up to make it sound like anyone on his side were violent, they ignored the caucus rules in Nevada where he clearly won based on video at the time, there was more, but it's been a long time and this are just a few examples that cross my mind on occasion
There have been a handful of times where I wish I had just written it down because I see the "I never saw/ heard about this" line often enough.
The DNC admitted collision in court, what else do you need lol

Martin Shkreli's lifetime drug industry ban upheld
Reply in thread
You don't even know the half of it, he played this MUD I was really into, his character's name was Vanmar, everyone hated him. Maybe a year or so before the pharmacy story broke he got perma banned from the game (oh god I'm gonna skim over a lot here, bear with me) he bought another player's super high skill character for iirc around 5k, went around bullying people who he couldn't take in pvp beforehand, then got the permanent ban for all of his accounts by forcibly role-playing a blowjob in a public area (a boat I think) on some other dudes character.
That was his second perma ban, he bought his way out of the first one, I don't recall how the first one came about.
Anyway, total twat. If you go deep in a search engine for Vanmar and DragonRealms you might find more info buried, a lot of its been lost to time and he bought one of the popular player forums around the game and locked it up so all that info is just lost.

Americans are sleepwalking into a Trump dictatorship
Reply in thread
I'm not gonna vote for anyone because I'm way too left to agree with a lot of their politics, I'm just gonna vote against Trump. It doesn't matter who is running against him, I'm not letting that dipshit win again. Or the republican party in general at this point, they've gotten too crazy.

Sanders warns Biden: address working-class fears or risk losing to demogogue
Reply in thread
When do we get to blame the shit candidate who lost instead? Bernie didn't ignore and not campaign in multiple states because he thought they were in the bag, that was Hillary. Bernie didn't conspire with the dnc to put up the worse polling candidate because it was "their turn", that was Hillary. Bernie supporters didn't say "we don't need your vote" to the progressive voters, those were Hillary supporters.
This shit makes me want to write Bernie in instead of holding my nose and voting for Biden like I did last time.

Him eating his booger on the debate stage still makes me gag uncontrollably if I see the clip, and if it pops into my head sometimes I'll start gagging, which is pretty much every time I see his name
There are very few things that make me gag in disgust, this one gets me every time

Reply in thread
There's this one McDonald's on this busy road where we live and I jokingly started calling the right lane the "McDonald's lane" because so many cars in that lane were always turning in. I realized earlier this week that these days most cars drive past instead.

Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid?

I'm not so sure, I saw this short the other day of this Gen z woman with a caption that said something like "you can tell gen z from millennial by the rise of their jeans" with her wearing mid rise (labeled low) and high rise jeans, and the comments were full of millennial women pointing out that in the 90s the low rise was like way way way low (which they were) or that millennial wore low rise first, or that it was a bad style or whatever input they felt they needed to give
And I realized this Gen z girl doesn't care about any of this, and is actually quite clever, she's just effectively gotten an insane amount of engagement and is positioning herself as an influencer because much of my generation are idiots and are commenting and reacting on her stuff over the rise of pants

There is no way rich people are less happy than the average poor person bar mental health conditions, they may have stressors like a demanding job, but that is nothing compared to whether or not you'll lose everything if you get too sick, or whether you can pay the bills because you didn't get enough hours at one of your jobs, or if you have enough food to feed your family. Wealth gives so much more opportunity to fulfill desires and become happy.
Have you ever been actually poor? Have you ever been homeless or lived in a shelter? I can't help but feel like your words may be that of privilege.
"Being rich is not good" is a very naive take. Being rich means less stress and more opportunities.

Milker rule
Reply in thread
Man I really love milk. I used to really crave it, until I was diagnosed with a vitamin d deficiency some years back and started taking it daily, then realized my body was actually craving the vitamin d added to milk. I can tell when I need to start taking the vitamin d because the milk cravings will resume if I'm low

I reported a dude posting an image that said "shoot your local heroin dealer"
They didn't do shit. I requested review. They still didn't do shit.
Guarantee if I posted one that said "lynch your local kkk member" I'd get banned

Has anyone done therapeutic Ketamine for their depression/anxiety that comes with ADHD?
Reply in thread
I would add to look into transcranial magnetic stimulation as well, it has an insane rate of success.
I've recently been referred to a major hospital that offers this, ketamine, and electroshock therapy, I'm still waiting to be scheduled but I have a long documented history of treatment resistant depression and the many medications I've tried. I've had severe depression for over 25 years now, I'm exhausted and finally have hope for relief.
