You throw enough shit at the wall, some of it's about to stick. The rumors of this were around long before QAnon nuts came on the scene, same as the #metoo accusations

Wholeheartedly agree. As someone who lived through an ethnic cleansing, it disgusts me that military and economic decisions take precedence over human lives. Absolutely sickening.

Endless supply of US dollars and weapons, unwavering US military support, lifetime worth of unchecked power and brainwashing, zero consequences for previous genocidal actions...the list goes on and on. It's almost as if telling a group of state actors that they can do no wrong and any criticism of them is a hate crime emboldens them. Who would have though?

Tbf, Bosnian, Serbian, and Croatian are all basically the same language with dialectical differences, and Google always defaults to Serbo-Croatian or just Croatian since it's a more well known country.

Language is Bosnian, but agreed. Very sad all around :(

Except they're going to vote for a Republican regardless. It's a bullshit argument used to hand waive away a non-Republican's complicity in furthering the genocide.

Wonderfully written look into the program. The buddy pairing system along with the guaranteed payments was brilliant. Often there is a desire by the public and politicians to just throw money at the problem, but the root of addiction and the cycle of suffering in many cases (though obv not all) is often tied deeply to lack of human connection and support.

The one thing that stood out and absolutely disgusted me was the bit about IRS garnishing Todd's meager $500 payments for back taxes. Are you telling me that we have the resources to garnish the payments of a homeless 64 year old man but not chase down billionaire fraud and tax dodging? What a fucking disgrace

Responsibilities without consequences are just wish lists. If there are no repercussions then responsibility means nothing.

Sounds like you may potentially have a flood sensor problem. Have you been able to take it out/verify that it's not throwing false positives?

I know the struggle. We were in a similar situation ourselves with our CU and decided to pull the plug. While I love the co-op model, the rates across the board were shit (talking .05% on checking and .45% on savings), and what's more, the rates they gave us when we were shopping for mortgage loans and car loans were even worse (variable mortgage rate at 7% in 2021, when everyone else was offering 2.5% fixed).

At the end of the day I realized that it wasn't worth leaving money on the table just to have the warm fuzzies of being with a meh, at best, banking institution. In 2023 all I really want are competitive rates, my funds insured, and easy, secure access to my funds and mobile banking. If you can't do that, there are dozens of other institutions that can.

The random zoomed in solo shots of kirk in too much make up with clearly different lighting than the wider context shot...gd I love TOS
