[02:08] *IsambardPrince has quit (Quit: Leaving) [02:11] *IsambardPrince (~isambardprince@7bngixsbht9ri.irc) has joined #techrights [02:12] IsambardPrince ZedHedTed, https://www.bankrate.com/credit-cards/advice/is-a-charge-card-same-as-credit-card/ [02:12] TR Bot Is a Charge Card? | Bankrate [02:12] IsambardPrince Charge cards don't count towards utilization. [02:13] 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. [02:14] 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. [02:14] IsambardPrince Or they have Plan It where you can turn a large purchase into an installment plan. [02:15] IsambardPrince Interestingly, Charge Cards should be compatible with Islamic Finance. [02:15] 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. [02:16] IsambardPrince Islamic Finance is weird. [02:16] IsambardPrince Like, all interest is haram because it's usury. [02:16] 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. [02:17] IsambardPrince So it's more about truth in lending than there being no profit on a loan. [02:17] MinceR yeah, one of the many things abrahamics have zero understanding of is finance [02:23] 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. [02:23] IsambardPrince So it's better than revolving because you MUST pay off that plan in the time you set it up for. [02:24] IsambardPrince It makes it impossible to buy the refrigerator and then still be paying on it in 5 years. [02:24] IsambardPrince :) [02:24] IsambardPrince Because you set the plan up for 3, 6, 12, or 18 months. [02:24] IsambardPrince So it means there's less of a chance for interest to pile up. [02:25] MinceR what happens if you don't have any money when you MUST pay? [02:25] IsambardPrince LOL [02:26] 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. [02:26] MinceR in other words, you pay interest on it [02:26] IsambardPrince Depending on how much the bank trusted you to begin with they could also Financial Review and suspend your Membership Rewards account. [02:27] MinceR but call it something else and suddenly it's halal [02:27] IsambardPrince It didn't say you can't borrow money or make outrageously overpriced purchases. [02:27] IsambardPrince It says you can't call it interest. [02:28] MinceR exactly [02:28] IsambardPrince There is most definitely still profit for banks or they would never lend to Muslims.

[03:31] IsambardPrince Yeah, why not let this guy inseminate you and not get an abortion? [03:31] IsambardPrince I see your life choices are going well. [03:31] IsambardPrince MinceR, Today in "Even Worse Than Brandon Lobsta" [03:32] 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. [03:32] IsambardPrince McHenry County Assistant States Attorney Brian Miller said Larson additionally threatened to burn Judge Zalud alive and eat his face, the Northwest Herald reported. [03:32] IsambardPrince Just give me five minutes in a room alone with him. You will be like, I didnt 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. [03:32] IsambardPrince Zalud is the judge presiding over the child custody dispute case, court records show. [03:32] 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." [03:33] MinceR someone got inspired by the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party [03:33] 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." [03:33] IsambardPrince Lame. [03:38] 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. [03:38] MinceR lol [03:39] IsambardPrince People like this are why if we don't have said dispensers, I think we should. [03:39] IsambardPrince They have the OPill, which is OTC birth control, they have Plan B which I really think should be renamed OShit!. [03:40] IsambardPrince Then they have the abortion pills.

[03:44] 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.

[03:45] IsambardPrince I could totally go for that. [03:45] IsambardPrince We'll give you a license if mom and dad pass the sniff test. [03:46] *wael___ (~quassel@hgmhm4zzuwffw.irc) has joined #techrights [03:46] MinceR the problem with that is that the state would decide who gets a license [03:46] IsambardPrince MinceR, USCIS had a form for immigrants for a while under Trump, called I-944 Declaration of Self-Sufficiency. [03:47] IsambardPrince I think that should be required before getting a Pregnancy License. [03:47] IsambardPrince And then you should have to pass a background check that's similar to getting an Illinois FOID Card. [03:47] 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 [03:48] IsambardPrince If you can pass the Self Sufficiency Test and a FOID Card Background Check, you should get a Pregnancy License. [03:49] 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.

Maybe King Trump has issued another Executive Screed in Orange Crayon with half the letters Backward and random Words (only the finest, some would say Beautiful) capitalized. [22:38] IsambardPrince Normally, I might write the President, but I don't want "Acting" US Attorney Ed Martin or Pam Bondi the MAGA AG sending me nasty letters, with threats. Face it, everyone Trump appointed is a middle finger to the law. No lawyer would write things like this, and frankly I'm not even sure any of them can read.
