Sat 23:00:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, It comes up EXXONMOBIL CAT OUTSIDE
Sat 23:00:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ On the card statement.
Sat 23:01:37 │ 〖ZedHedTed〗 │ and was there a cat outside?
Sat 23:01:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ No, this is the one where people are sleeping in a tent outside though.
Sat 23:02:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "What kind of cat is this?"
Sat 23:02:15 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i'm pretty sure there are cats outside constantly
Sat 23:03:18 │ 〖ZedHedTed〗 │ but outside an exxon/mobil gas station constantly?
Sat 23:03:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Well, it stands to reason there will be a cat outside some of them at all times.
Sat 23:03:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There's a lot of cats, and a lot of Exxon/Mobil gas stations.
Sat 23:04:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So it's like Heisenberg's Mobil, you know there's a cat outside and there's no cat outside, both are equally possible until you pull into the gas pump and look around.
Sat 23:05:05 │ 〖ZedHedTed〗 │ at all times? that still sounds a bit too general. all you need is 1 instant where there's no cats outside any of them.
Sat 23:05:10 │ 〖ZedHedTed〗 │ and that argument becomes false.
Sat 23:06:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But there's several thousand Exxon and Mobil gas stations across the country, and possibly in Canada and elsewhere, who knows?

Sat 23:19:49 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ binturongs are also called "bearcats" but they're not bear/cat hybrids

Sat 23:23:49 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ might be easier to bend than a plastic card
Sat 23:24:02 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ since the plastic is more likely to break

Sat 23:50:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ AmEx has better dispute resolution and it's easier to use the card benefits.
Sat 23:51:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Crapital One went from Visa to MasterCard, and MasterCard is shockingly worse than Visa.
Sat 23:51:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's almost impossible to get fraud resolved on a MasterCard and using the insurances and benefits listed in the brochure is painfil.

Sun 01:06:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I reported some cards we don't use much lost or stolen just to make sure that whoever did that on the one card doesn't have any others.
Sun 01:12:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ ZedHedTed, https://www.bankrate.com/credit-cards/advice/is-a-charge-card-same-as-credit-card/
Sun 01:12:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Charge cards don't count towards utilization.
Sun 01:13:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There's no preset spending limit, so you can end the month with whatever balance you arrive at and it won't affect your FICO score for utilization ratio like a credit card will.
Sun 01:14:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But you have to pay the entire thing. You can't revolve a balance. AmEx has Pay Over Time though, so some of that balance can revolve.
Sun 01:14:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Or they have Plan It where you can turn a large purchase into an installment plan.
Sun 01:15:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Interestingly, Charge Cards should be compatible with Islamic Finance.
Sun 01:15:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ As long as you turn off Pay Over Time you either have to pay your full statement balance with no interest, or set up a Plan for large purchases, which have "plan fees" which are fixed fees, which are not technically interest.
Sun 01:16:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Islamic Finance is weird.
Sun 01:16:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Like, all interest is haram because it's usury.
Sun 01:16:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But you can sell them something at a higher price and let them make installments, as long as you show them what the installments and total price will be.
Sun 01:17:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So it's more about truth in lending than there being no profit on a loan.
Sun 01:17:33 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ yeah, one of the many things abrahamics have zero understanding of is finance
Sun 01:23:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, Well, a Plan It fee works out to what the interest rate is on the card x however many months the plan is.
Sun 01:23:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So it's better than revolving because you MUST pay off that plan in the time you set it up for.
Sun 01:24:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It makes it impossible to buy the refrigerator and then still be paying on it in 5 years.
Sun 01:24:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ :)
Sun 01:24:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Because you set the plan up for 3, 6, 12, or 18 months.
Sun 01:24:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So it means there's less of a chance for interest to pile up.
Sun 01:25:20 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ what happens if you don't have any money when you MUST pay?
Sun 01:25:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ LOL
Sun 01:26:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They turn off the card and you can't use it anymore until you do pay it off, and it will go to the Penalty APR.
Sun 01:26:29 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ in other words, you pay interest on it
Sun 01:26:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Depending on how much the bank trusted you to begin with they could also Financial Review and suspend your Membership Rewards account.
Sun 01:27:08 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ but call it something else and suddenly it's halal
Sun 01:27:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It didn't say you can't borrow money or make outrageously overpriced purchases.
Sun 01:27:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It says you can't call it interest.
Sun 01:28:06 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ exactly
Sun 01:28:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There is most definitely still profit for banks or they would never lend to Muslims.
Sun 01:28:29 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ call it something else and it magically disappears

Sun 01:54:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ At first I wondered if this was photoshopped.
Sun 01:54:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ She is one ugly motherfucker.
Sun 01:57:58 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ "krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"
Sun 02:30:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ https://www.lakemchenryscanner.com/2025/03/28/man-accused-of-threatening-to-eat-face-of-judge-kill-everyone-at-mchenry-county-courthouse/
Sun 02:30:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I WILL EAT YOUR FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!!!! OM NOM NOM
Sun 02:31:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "The woman who received the threat is a witness in a child custody dispute case and Larson was attempting to stop her from continuing with the court proceedings, the complaint said."
Sun 02:31:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Yeah, why not let this guy inseminate you and not get an abortion?
Sun 02:31:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I see your life choices are going well.
Sun 02:31:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, Today in "Even Worse Than Brandon Lobsta"
Sun 02:32:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "An indictment said Larson communicated the threat to the woman by text message and that he told her to stop seeking child support payments.
Sun 02:32:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ McHenry County Assistant State’s Attorney Brian Miller said Larson additionally threatened to burn Judge Zalud alive and eat his face, the Northwest Herald reported.
Sun 02:32:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ “Just give me five minutes in a room alone with him. You will be like, ‘I didn’t know we had that much blood inside.’ […] He would be unrecognizable. I would eat his [expletive] face off,” Larson allegedly said in the message, according to Miller.
Sun 02:32:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Zalud is the judge presiding over the child custody dispute case, court records show.
Sun 02:32:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ At the time of the offense, Larson was on pre-trial release in three other criminal cases in McHenry County, which included a domestic violence case and two major traffic cases that all occurred in McHenry."
Sun 02:33:25 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ someone got inspired by the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party
Sun 02:33:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "In 2020, Larson was arrested after he claimed he had COVID-19 and then allegedly spat and breathed on officers during a traffic stop in McHenry. He pleaded guilty in that case."
Sun 02:33:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Lame.
Sun 02:38:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, If I was a woman I wouldn't let some guy like that cum in me and if I did, I'd get an abortion fast. I mean it's Illinois, we probably have abortion pill dispensers in the women's restroom here.
Sun 02:38:35 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ lol
Sun 02:39:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ People like this are why if we don't have said dispensers, I think we should.
Sun 02:39:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They have the OPill, which is OTC birth control, they have Plan B which I really think should be renamed OShit!.
Sun 02:40:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then they have the abortion pills.
Sun 02:41:11 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Sun 02:43:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, I'm certain that the only reason why nobody interferes with these people's reproduction system is because it's a subsidy to the police.
Sun 02:44:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If you just castrated these people and got the womenfolk in there for a tubal ligation, within a couple generations (for everyone else, you know), you would only need maybe 10-15% as many police officers.
Sun 02:44:43 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ the supply of people stupid enough to be policy officers would also diminish
Sun 02:44:48 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ s/icy/ice/
Sun 02:45:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, Remember Demolition Man?
Sun 02:45:21 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ how could i not?
Sun 02:45:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Where she says "Abortion is illegal, but then again so is getting pregnant without a license."
Sun 02:45:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I could totally go for that.
Sun 02:45:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ We'll give you a license if mom and dad pass the sniff test.
Sun 02:46:45 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ the problem with that is that the state would decide who gets a license
Sun 02:46:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, USCIS had a form for immigrants for a while under Trump, called I-944 Declaration of Self-Sufficiency.
Sun 02:47:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I think that should be required before getting a Pregnancy License.
Sun 02:47:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And then you should have to pass a background check that's similar to getting an Illinois FOID Card.
Sun 02:47:29 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and as it was recently very clearly demonstrated to us, the state is unfit to solve any problem that would also exist if there was no state
Sun 02:48:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If you can pass the Self Sufficiency Test and a FOID Card Background Check, you should get a Pregnancy License.
Sun 02:49:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There shouldn't be anything racist about the tests, you should just not be a criminal, so crazy they've had to take you into state custody for the mental system, and able to earn enough money to do it and likely avoid going on welfare.
Sun 02:50:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ *or so crazy
Sun 02:50:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Each time you want to have another child, you should have to do this all over again.
Sun 02:51:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ How well are you doing with the last one we let you have?
Sun 02:52:32 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i'd rather replace humans with skynet or something
Sun 02:52:45 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ humans have demonstrated enough times that this species is an utter failure
Sun 02:52:51 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ it's time to stop the struggle

Sun 02:54:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │
Sun 02:54:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ 1 point 2 hours ago
Sun 02:54:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Good point.
Sun 02:54:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ However I wonder why did they not apply for citizenship over the 10+ years that they've been eligible to apply for it (they have GC for 17 years). If nothing else, first Trump term shouldve been a warning, and they shouldve applied for citizenship between 2020-24
Sun 02:54:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, I replied,
Sun 02:54:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "The smart ones scrambled in the past 4 years and filed N-400 regardless of how they had to come up with the money.
Sun 02:54:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The others hit the snooze alarm and bought concert tickets and beer and kept racking up criminal charges and now go "Is it safe to leave the country and re-enter? I would like to take a vacation!""
Sun 02:58:34 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Sun 02:59:08 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ well, it's safe to leave the country and not re-enter
Sun 02:59:15 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and you probably won't miss out on anything

Sun 13:00:32 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] Is Geo-blocking a sign of a layoff?
Sun 13:00:34 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] I noticed that our work management system, was suddenly blocked unless using a VPN in other region. Even the company’s main public website is inaccessible from our region but works fine in other locations. Only our region is impacted.
Sun 13:00:38 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] By the end of the week, our office completely lost external network access. Our local IT team was unaware of any planned changes and had to escalate the issue. Eventually, access was restored, but the work management system and company website remain blocked. No official announcements have been made by management or IT.
Sun 13:00:42 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] Some key details: • This happened right after our quarterly performance review. • Our direct manager is on leave until next week. • We filed a ticket to our IT support regarding our work management system and they told us they are unsure why. • The company recently announced cost-cutting measures after a major acquisition.
Sun 13:00:46 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] Emails and Teams are still working.
Sun 13:00:48 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] Has anyone experienced something similar before a layoff? Could this be an IT misconfiguration, or is it a sign of restructuring.
