Cracks are widening. Empires don’t fall for being corrupt, they fall when the cost of holding it all together stops being worth it.

Ha ya think, maybe a 4 year phase hopefully.

Empire and democracy often clash. The U.S. has long sold itself as both. If the democratic side collapses the whole narrative falls apart.

Of course it's 20/20.

Yes, the dollar remains entrenched. Yes, military dominance buys time. But the accumulation of social fragmentation, institutional decay, global distrust and unchecked corporate influence isn't new or far from inconsequential.

How could they? There are WAY more traffic laws for cars.

Coke in a cold glass bottle is best.

 

Just went through a mess trying to finance a used car. I haven’t borrowed money since 2012, no debt, no credit cards, just living within my means. When I applied for a loan, I was told I was refused. Not because of bad credit, but because I hadn’t used credit recently enough.

The dealership advertises “no applications refused,” but apparently if you don’t have an active debt history, you’re too much of a mystery for the system.

Co-signer? Not allowed. Using my own bank account for payments? Denied. Their solution? Open a joint account with my dad just to satisfy a bank’s paperwork, pay hundreds in fees over 6 years just to make it work.

The credit system says you can't borrow money unless you've already been borrowing money, like somehow living within your means disqualifies you. It's not about good credit, it's about loyalty to the debt game. Screw you for standing on your own feet, I guess.

Just needed to get that off my chest. Anyone else run into this nonsense?

 

Is it worth it? Whats your experience?

 

Reglue chip back on. Black it out with marker or just leave it, adds character? Whats your opinion?

 

I need some inspiration. Let's see your fire pit. This is not a competition, good or bad.
