Common interest rates of 30% plus, predatory offers, hell I get real checks in the mail from local loan companies. All you have to do is sign and deposit and you are to their ridiculous terms. The free market needs reigned in.

A good reminder cops are murderers AND bullies.

They're squeezing every dollar out of everyone who isn't rich. Pricing schemes, greedflation, unnecessary required subscriptions, rent, utilities. There's nothing left to spend because the rich have it all. So of course they're spending.

Biden: what would Trump have done if the Capitol riots had been led by Black Americans? ( www.theguardian.com )

Joe Biden has launched one of his most scathing attacks yet on Donald Trump’s record of racism, suggesting that the former US president would have acted differently to the January 6 2021 insurrection if was led by Black people....

Wow you showed him, absolutely nobody on the Internet who defends racists.

kumatomic ,

Except they wield world ending power in the last near century.

kumatomic ,

Don't forget us disabled people who get fucked by the same cuts to already ridiculously underfunded programs that vary in helpfulness depending on which state you ended up stuck in.

kumatomic ,

Same and I was already homeless thanks to the W era and clawed my way back to mostly stable. It's a traumatic experience I don't want to repeat.

kumatomic ,

I can't wait to get harassed by rednecks who will not have to answer to their redneck cop buddies when they step out of line.

kumatomic ,

.. and corps are never your friend.

kumatomic ,

What else will corporations pay Congress to decide that is in corporations' best interest for us to not see?

kumatomic ,

As a disabled person I find I am not intentionally tripped anywhere near enough. I beseech Congress to act now before I become complacent in my verticality.

Great job protecting him from hurting himself by killing him. Murderers literally brought a gun to a knife fight. ACAB

Not too mention that if a self-expanding tax funded account for education did exist Congress would dip into it to pay for endless wars just like they do Social Security. Then they'll squak every year that it doesn't work and that is running out of money. Just like Social Security.

Me too. Exposure to chemicals and physical stress from skilled labor are considered to be the trigger by my doctor for my very aggressive autoimmune disease that crippled me at 28 and continues to 15 years later.

It's a 157kb executable and your mom is gonna be pissed.

We were lucky enough to buy in 2019 before everything got out of sight in our area. We used a FHA loan which required a 3% down payment and I got a first time homebuyer grant that covered all of that which allowed us to pay closing and moving costs since we were leaving in a hurry due to the small podunk town we lived in for 12 years stopping extra trash haul off and allowing trash burning in town instead. Almost every day my house was full of smoke. I had to choose between my home or my health. We were outbid on about a dozen houses by landlords. With the loan type we got stuck with a PMI, but even with that and extortionate Texas home insurance rates we still pay half of the renters in the house next to us. Although we'll never be able to afford moving now and if we had waited any longer we would have been stuck in the corrupt small town EPA violation. We paid 96k for a brick 3/1 and five years later it's shot up to 240k in value. I feel bad for the people that can't get one now because I fear it's more going to get any better when half the country cares more about voting for the people they believe hate the save people they do.

I'm sorry I don't have any answer, but I just wanted to say I'm sorry you have to go through this to make your life easier. Also I fucking hate unrestrained capitalism.

kumatomic ,

I understand. I use a cane due to severe inflammatory arthritis and a long list of other crap including a deteriorating spine that's likely to land me in a chair myself in a few years. Trying to build my own ramp into my house a little at a time on good days because it's several thousand dollars to have one built and eventually I won't be able to do it at all. Solidarity in hating it here. I'm in Texas in the US which, well it's run by regressive masochistic asshats.

kumatomic ,

I always loved grackles and the noises they make. You really captured the shine. Love it.

kumatomic ,

Same. I would often be in the car while my mother would run into a store and I would watch them. They really did have their own little world.

kumatomic OP ,

Thank you! Exactly my thoughts. The artist statement I put with it was "The dragon that is born with its hoard may appear cute, but in the end your village will mean nothing in comparison to its gold." 

kumatomic OP ,

Thank you! I really want to do more. I typically try so do this kind of sculpture in the Summer when my RA is at its calmest. It's a bit more physically demanding.

kumatomic OP ,

Thank you so much.

kumatomic OP ,

Lol, Goodness no, just monochromatic blue.

kumatomic OP ,

Thank you! Thank you for asking. I really am for the most part. It took a decade and a half and a few therapist after escaping but I am doing well now. Complex trauma took it's toll on my body, but I have a great life and healthy relationships.

kumatomic OP ,

Definitely. It was the first time I had addressed it in my art, but not the last.

kumatomic OP ,

I'm definitely referring to the one mentioned by Agrippa, rabbinic writings, The Old Testament, Mathers, and others

kumatomic OP ,

Thank you!

kumatomic OP , (edited )

That's exactly why it's a bust. He's much like Cotton Hill now, but knees instead of shins.

kumatomic OP ,

Thank you!

kumatomic ,

They've gotten great at this war of attrition. They know if they make changes incrementally people wouldn't accept all at once then most people won't notice or care. That's why I through that trash and two firesshits out in the garbage where they belonged when they started with "related" ads and app store ads.

kumatomic ,

I hate both phone types horribly. On screen keyboards are complete trash. Not only did Android take the SD Card, but even if you happen to have a manufacturer who still includes it Google has made it horribly inconvenient to use so you buy their shitty cloud storage that loses people's data. Among many other issues.

kumatomic ,

Ads in the feed now? Yikes, that's reason enough for me to switch before I'm forced to update it.
