@NicheSiteSiry @FluentInFinance I’m no expert but I would not pay off <3% debt with money that could be earning >8% in the market. consider you plan on putting an extra $200/mo toward your mortgage, if you invested those funds instead, you could grow your savings faster and potentially retire earlier.

@Idontgiveafk82 @mandemDJ @DerenicByrd no rage over here, just clarifying “modern women’s” baseline standards since so many “traditional men” seem… puzzled. Partnership is rewarding, but it is indeed hard work.

[Amina P @milonelion]

@mandemDJ @Idontgiveafk82 @DerenicByrd that’s a threat, which is an attempt to exert control. it’s emotional manipulation any way you slice it. Actual boundaries, which all the unhealed folks on this app keep capping for, would have been… (1/2)

@Idontgiveafk82 @DerenicByrd One places emphasis on how someone’s actions make the subject feel. The other dictates “acceptable” behavior for an autonomous person. either way, one can respond accordingly, but the latter is absolutely controlling. M or F, telling someone what they can and can’t do is wild.

@Idontgiveafk82 @DerenicByrd The lack of reading comprehension here is astounding. You literally just said it yourself…. a woman expressing “EYE am not comfortable” is very different than a man saying “YOU cannot do XYZ”. (1/2)

If we cancel all student debt, ppl will want medical debt forgiven. If we cancel medical debt, they're going to want free healthcare. If we give them that, they'll want us to house the homeless. Then everyone's going to want a living wage. The whole society will fall apart.

@jayyyjayyy100 @dabirdizthaword 👏🏾👏🏾 keep up the long hours while you’re young as long as you can and INVEST so you can retire early

This is the most American sentence I’ve heard since… well, last nights segment on the moms group obsessed with “parental rights” in education. The only other group I can liken to freedom-worshipping, order-subverting Americans are fucking toddlers still ruled by their Id.

The two images that best describe the budget priorities of the U.S. police bureaucracy: Alabama cops celebrating a fun quilt they made from the signs of unhoused people begging for money and NYPD bragging about executing 23 warrants to seize shoplifted diapers.

look at @Twitter , solving problems. thanks @dcra Juliana!

[Amina P @milonelion]

So @dcra ‘s phone system is “experiencing difficulties” and will hang up on you. Chat function on the website is non existent. Other than whining into the ether here, how is someone supposed to reach you? God forbid they have to take @wmata to your offices.

What our society spends resources tracking is distorted by elite preferences for which harms they want us thinking about (and what solutions to those harms are profitable.) It’s not in their interest to have a panic about eviction. Read this thread: https://t.co/eWMwdKl7bS

Stunning stat: 48 Democrats who supported reforming filibuster to pass voting rights bills represent 34 MILLION more Americans than 52 senators (all Republicans + Sinema/Manchin) who opposed it
