They arrested that guy too. [02:48] IsambardPrince I know who tends to vote for Trump, and probably the reason that they don't even seem to care they'll be arrested is because maintaining a clean record only matters until it's sufficiently dirty in the first place.

[05:45] IsambardPrince When they get thrown out, it's called a foreclosure instead of an eviction, and it's actually much worse than an eviction. While eviction does charge you back rent, you can get it off your credit report via expungement if you pay that landlord what you owe them later.

[23:01] IsambardPrince No, this is the one where people are sleeping in a tent outside though. [23:02] IsambardPrince "What kind of cat is this?" [23:02] MinceR i'm pretty sure there are cats outside constantly [23:03] ZedHedTed but outside an exxon/mobil gas station constantly? [23:03] IsambardPrince Well, it stands to reason there will be a cat outside some of them at all times. [23:03] IsambardPrince There's a lot of cats, and a lot of Exxon/Mobil gas stations. [23:04] 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. [23:05] 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. [23:05] ZedHedTed and that argument becomes false. [23:06] IsambardPrince But there's several thousand Exxon and Mobil gas stations across the country, and possibly in Canada and elsewhere, who knows? [23:06] IsambardPrince And millions and millions of cats. [23:06] ZedHedTed and i can't exactly monitor all of them to see if there isn't a cat at any of them, so i can't prove you wrong [23:07] ZedHedTed you win this one [23:08] MinceR pretty sure there are cats that are not inside exxonmobil gas stations [23:09] ZedHedTed that's a bit easier to guarantee yeah [23:14] IsambardPrince One of my cats spawned five more before I had her spayed. I found her when she was pregnant already. [23:14] IsambardPrince These things have a lot of cats. [23:14] IsambardPrince Potentially 20+ kittens per year until someone has them spayed.

[23:50] IsambardPrince AmEx has better dispute resolution and it's easier to use the card benefits. [23:51] IsambardPrince Crapital One went from Visa to MasterCard, and MasterCard is shockingly worse than Visa. [23:51] IsambardPrince It's almost impossible to get fraud resolved on a MasterCard and using the insurances and benefits listed in the brochure is painfil. [23:51] MinceR all my banks randomly bounced between mastercard and visa [23:51] IsambardPrince *painful [23:52] IsambardPrince The Gold Card is probably going to contribute to my weight problem.
