  • Yes. That’s how things like that work. Similar to things like the playstore, or app store and such. Apple/Google/Klarna pays for the product, you pay Apple/Google/Klarna back for the product via whatever means, Mastercard, Visa etc that you attach to their store. If they don’t receive the money from you, your account goes into bad standing with Apple/Google/Klarna, not with whoever they bought the product from, because they received their payment. So if you put a stop on the payment from your bank, it will also put your account in bad standing as owing money for a product you “already received”. It’s a shit way to do things, having a middle person, but to avoid such… don’t buy things through a middleman.

    Want say “Paramount plus”, buy it from Paramount, not using another service who takes it out of your bank because you gave them permissions to upon using their service.

    Thousands of people run into issues because of things like this daily.






  • They’ve been doing this shit for years. Until you charge the people doing it with treason, convict them. And sentence them to life in prison, or as Arkansas believes in the death penalty, nothing will change. Send them both to the electric chair, and poof, people will say “maybe I shouldn’t do that.”

    And a lot more conservatives will say, hey wait… The death penalty might not be fair. For all the wrong reasons. The death penalty is unfair because you may have charged someone innocent with murder. Intentionally subverting a democracy is 100% to treason. No doubts.

    Did you run for a position you already have to manipulate the system set up by a democratic Republic. Yes. Guilty







  • I mean what is Han supposed to be in Star Wars now? It was probably pitched to him as a bad ass gun slinger that doesn’t care for the rules/laws and gets the girl anyways. Immediately the world and story grows well beyond the possibilities of a gun slinger having real impact.

    He’s a side character, who can’t really effect the universe he is surrounded by and falls into a grumpy father figure role. He was just in the new movies for nostalgia.

    Luke can defeat entire armies, Leia secretly a force user that effects entire governments, he uh, smuggles some items sometimes. Could be replaced by near any other normal human out there, as every new character near immediately learns how to fly a ship, shoot down other ships or has a droid that can do it for them.

    “But he can understand what a wookie is saying” Wait, suddenly everyone else that is around the wookie for 2 days can as well.



  • 2025: 181,000 new jobs, 1.8 million new people.

    That’s 1 job per 10 new people.

    2024: 2,232,000 new jobs and 3.2 million people or 6.97 jobs per 10 new people. (Edited, I accidentally said per 1 new)

    2023 saw about 3 million jobs added, and population growth of about 1.6 million people. ~1.875 jobs per new person.

    2022 and 2023 were seeing rates so high I believe because we were recovering from the pandemic, but I don’t think anyone in their right mind can look at a capitalistic nation that doesn’t believe in social programs and say 1 new job per 10 people is sustainable.
