[02:32] IsambardPrince And then what happens? The rich people mock him, they shut down social services so he can't even get his meds. [02:32] IsambardPrince Someone had their finger on the pulse of this country when they made that movie. [02:33] IsambardPrince I liked the part where some guy he worked with came in and handed him a gun because he knew Joker would go off and do something bad with it, to someone else (he figured) and that would get him out of his workplace. [02:34] IsambardPrince I mean, I'm not out of it like that, but I think the part that made my skin crawl was his severe case of emotional incontinence. [02:35] darwin there is no good UNIX/GNU/Linux (here meaning genetic UNIX such as *BSD/OpenSolaris), no good email program, no good NNTP newsreader, no good IRC client (HexChat was good but discontinued), no good web browser, etc., anymore [02:35] IsambardPrince He was so bad that it didn't even take anything to trigger an outburst of inappropriate laughter. [02:35] IsambardPrince Psychiatrists have no real idea what causes emotional incontinence. It's happened to me a couple of times where something so horrible has just happened that I laugh and cry at the same time. But only a couple of times. [02:36] IsambardPrince I would say it's probably just when your ability to process something has been completely overwhelmed and it comes out in every possible way at once. [02:36] IsambardPrince It really scares people though when they witness it. They assume that a person who is crying and laughing at the same time is probably dangerous. [02:36] IsambardPrince And I wouldn't go that far. [02:37] IsambardPrince Inappropriate laughter is just one consequence of pain too deep to process in the moment, so your brain has this "purge it...just purge it...do everything at once" reaction. [02:38] IsambardPrince I would say that it's a possible reaction to witnessing someone get murdered right in front of you. [02:38] IsambardPrince It's a reaction that does not match how you feel. [02:40] IsambardPrince The first time I recall it happening was when my mother walked out on us. [02:40] IsambardPrince I didn't react well to it at all. [02:41] IsambardPrince I fell over on the stairs and laughed and cried for a long time. Hysterical laughter. It feels exactly the same as laughter when you think something is funny, but while you're extremely sad. [02:41] IsambardPrince And then I walked over and punched a hole in the wall. [02:41] IsambardPrince Then I stopped sleeping. [02:41] IsambardPrince I couldn't sleep for weeks, then I fell over on the floor and passed out on the floor. [02:42] IsambardPrince I guess I couldn't process the idea of such betrayal. [02:42] IsambardPrince How much I hated her for it.

[04:23] IsambardPrince ---- [04:23] IsambardPrince Smoking pot "a few times in college" doesn't meaningfully affect LIFETIME risk. [04:24] IsambardPrince Where you get into severe risk is these people that are smoking pot constantly. Daily, or at least weekly. [04:24] IsambardPrince If you can say "I've smoked pot three times in my life." that's not too bad for "lifetime risk". [04:24] IsambardPrince While most people have "tried it", that's not the same ballpark as "chronic pot smoker". [04:25] IsambardPrince A lot of this crap gets to where it builds up in your body, in your fat, in your muscle tissues. [04:25] IsambardPrince So like, we don't really have a good idea of what that does, even if you stop. [04:26] IsambardPrince We know that daily pot smokers might take several months to pass a drug test if they stop.

[09:03] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: AmEx's nightmare customer would be a person who signs up for one of their high tier cards, uses all the perks, always pays it off in full, travels a lot and constantly hits up the airport lounges. [09:04] IsambardPrince But they don't deal with many charge offs. [09:04] IsambardPrince So even the nightmare customer would only lose them a small amount of money. [09:05] IsambardPrince https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/11/report-apple-and-goldman-sachs-are-breaking-up-over-money-losing-apple-card/ [09:05] TR Bot Report: Apple and Goldman Sachs are breaking up over money-losing Apple Card | Ars Technica [09:06] IsambardPrince "Though initiated by Apple, Goldman Sachs has allegedly been interested in ending its partnership with Apple for a while now. The financial losses seem like the biggest point of contention between the companies, but the WSJ also reports that Apple has frustrated Goldman Sachs execs by demanding that most people who apply for an Apple Card get approved, and that all Apple Card customers receive their bills on the same day (banks [09:06] IsambardPrince typically try to spread these bills out to avoid a deluge of customer service calls). Executives also partly blame Apple for regulatory issues that Goldman has had with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Federal Reserve." [09:06] IsambardPrince --- [09:06] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: Apple is demanding the low credit score approvals. [09:06] IsambardPrince Ghetto people love their iPhones. [09:06] IsambardPrince :D [09:07] IsambardPrince (MARISOL says ghetto people after she crawled out of the slums.) [09:07] IsambardPrince (Thinks American tap water will kill her when that place didn't.) [09:08] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: So apparently Apple has been leaning on them to approve bad credit people because GS will take the losses while Apple gets a bunch of "commissions" for saddling GS with a bunch of people who would probably be turned down by everyone other than Credit One. [09:09] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: Technically, FICO scores can go as low as 350, or as high as 820. [09:10] IsambardPrince But "lower than 660" is taking on some really bad risk. [09:10] IsambardPrince Even Capital One won't look at you if you're lower than 650, usually, except maybe on a secured credit card or a small limit "Platinum" with no rewards. [09:10] IsambardPrince So what Apple is forcing GS to take on are the worst of a bad bunch. [09:11] IsambardPrince People who don't pay their bills are getting Apple credit cards. [09:12] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: Most landlords won't rent to people with a FICO lower than about 640. [09:12] IsambardPrince They know who they'll end up evicting. [09:14] IsambardPrince Unsurprisingly, low income people are the most likely to have bad credit. [09:14] IsambardPrince They end up with landlords who don't fix toilets and leave garbage piles everywhere. [09:16] Sompi as of last years May studying in YSAO also requires Microsoft Authenticator... [09:16] IsambardPrince "Executives also partly blame Apple for regulatory issues that Goldman has had with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Federal Reserve." [09:16] IsambardPrince LOL [09:17] IsambardPrince "The WSJ doesn't know whether Apple will be partnering with another company to provide its financial services, though Synchrony Financial is allegedly interested, and the WSJ reported earlier this year that American Express could also take over. Citigroup decided not to back the Apple Card back in 2019 over (apparently well-founded) concerns that it wouldn't earn the company any money." [09:17] IsambardPrince Why does anyone want to take over something like this, much less American Express? [09:18] IsambardPrince Synchrony and Citibank, I get. They both have a lot of experience chasing down bad debtors that load up their card and try to slink away. [09:18] IsambardPrince American Express is not a bottom feeder. [09:19] IsambardPrince If they can't get Apple to ease up and allow them to only approve to their usual standards, they should walk away. [09:19] IsambardPrince Who knows. [09:19] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: Apple Card brought to you by Credit One? :P [09:20] IsambardPrince https://old.reddit.com/r/CRedit/comments/mnjdir/credit_one_what_ive_learned_and_some_advice/ [09:20] TR Bot ( status 403 @ https://old.reddit.com/r/CRedit/comments/mnjdir/credit_one_what_ive_learned_and_some_advice/ ) [09:21] IsambardPrince They're a really nasty bank out in Nevada who will throw a credit card at people nobody else will touch. [09:24] IsambardPrince It's pretty clear that Apple doesn't care who gets a credit card or how big of a hole they dig for themselves with it. [09:25] IsambardPrince As long as some other company gets exposed to all the risk and "makes the card out of titanium".
