@Scavacini777 No. That’s what happens when you have a negatively amortizing loan and you’re not refinancing it into a better product. Some financial education would have helped this woman.
My dad is not my “dad”.
My mom left an abusive marriage with my father when I was 8 months old.
We were homeless for a little while until she found the man who would raise me.
She had credit card debt and not much to offer. Just a baby girl and a toddler boy with cerebral palsy.
The man who would come to be the only true father I ever knew sold his vintage motorcycles and his only vehicle to pay off her credit cards and take care of us.
He was a young teacher, and she would be a stay-at-home mom.
From the time they married, I never rode the bus, never ate a school lunch, and never came home to an empty house.
He biked to work every day, sacrificing to support our family.
He was there for every soccer game. He bought every prom dress. He invested endlessly in my hobbies.
Over time, his consistent belief in me built my confidence. He took me to photography and digital art conferences where I learned valuable skills that helped me launch my first business.
I always knew that, no matter what, I was never alone, never unloved, and never without the full support of my dad.
Decades later, I asked him why he fell in love with my mom. What drew him to her? A homeless woman with two small kids isn’t really a catch.
He told me, “I didn’t just fall in love with your mom. I fell in love with you too.”
Happy Father’s Day to the men who chose to step up for those who other men let down.
You are the real heroes.
Beaucoup de figures de gauche, aux US comme en Europe, qualifient Musk d'extrême droite. Certains vont jusqu'au mot « nazi ».
J'ai fait l'inverse de l'accusation : lire avant de juger. Deux biographies. Des dizaines d'heures d'interviews et de documentaires. Zéro once de racisme détectée.
Ce que j'ai trouvé, c'est une obsession constante pour la liberté : rachat de Twitter au nom de la liberté d'expression, réintégration des comptes bannis, publication des Twitter Files, ouverture du code de l'algorithme, open-source de Grok, brevets Tesla libérés en 2014, Starlink rallumé pour les Iraniens coupés du net pendant les manifestations et pour l'Ukraine, refus répété des demandes de censure étatiques.
Maintenant, faisons l'expérience de pensée que ses accusateurs ne font jamais. Imaginez que Musk soit réellement evil.
Cet homme possède un réseau de satellites qui couvre la planète, soit une capacité de surveillance quasi totale. Il possède la place publique numérique la plus influente du monde. Il possède la première fortune à 1000 milliards de l'Histoire, depuis l'IPO de SpaceX le 12 juin. Aucun individu n'a jamais concentré autant de leviers.
Un Musk réellement malveillant, avec ça dans les mains, ne tolérerait pas une seconde qu'on le traite de nazi H24 sur sa propre plateforme. Il bannirait. Il surveillerait. Il écraserait. On serait déjà dans 1984.
Or regardez la réalité : les comptes qui l'accusent de nazisme tweetent toujours. Tous les jours. Sans entrave. Sur son réseau. Avec son algorithme. La dystopie totalitaire qu'on lui prête se démontre par l'absence du goulag.
Voilà le retournement. 1984 le contrôle de la parole, la surveillance de masse, la désignation publique des hérétiques ce n'est pas son projet. C'est le fantasme de ceux qui l'accusent. L'accusation décrit toujours l'accusateur.
C'est du Girard à l'état pur : on désigne un bouc émissaire pour ne pas voir le mécanisme qu'on porte soi-même. Celui qui hurle « nazi » rêve souvent, en silence, du pouvoir de bannir, de ficher, de faire taire.
L'homme qui aurait tous les moyens de bâtir 1984 est précisément celui qui laisse ses pires détracteurs parler. Demandez-vous qui, dans cette histoire, rêve vraiment du télécran.
Bitcoin was invented 16 years ago today!
On January 3, 2009, a mysterious engineer with the username ‘Satoshi Nakamoto’ created the open-source Bitcoin peer-to-peer electronic cash system. For the first time, people could send money online without needing banks or middlemen.
@someguyspoasts My boyfriend has sooo many hobbies and interests. It’s attractive. Find some things you’re interested and get out of your house to do them. The socializing will follow. Join a team, get on https://t.co/loR6cVr7qJ, go on a singles travel vacation, go do epic shit.
@japan_nobunaga@mmatthias This should be marked as an advertisement for Costco. They have loss leaders to get people in the store to buy other things so that they can make a profit. They don’t do it as an act of charity or generosity. It works well. Good on them.
Grant Cardone reveals NOBODY would buy $10,000,000 worth of Gold at market price
“I know a guy who is trying to sell 10,000 pieces of silver and he can’t get a real offer. He’s getting a 30% discount below the market. People see it spiking like this and they’re like, ‘OMG.’ But go try to sell $10M worth of gold and see what happens. You’ll only get offers 20-30% below the market, and you won’t get the money tomorrow or in five minutes. It needs to get authenticated, checked, and validated”
“Bitcoin is a real thing. You can trade it in five minutes, and that’s real. Bitcoin, to me, is not only money, it’s also technology, unlike gold or silver”
@lindsay__stamp Then they’re doing it wrong. Save your money, take your skills and move yourself somewhere else where you have fun. It’s always possible to make money and enjoy your work. If you keep this attitude, you’ll never feel stuck. (It honestly sounds like this person is spending too mch
