I've been using Bazzite on my main laptop as well and it's fantastic.

I even found out that you can create a steamOS distrobox. No real need to use it, but thought that was cool.

Right, that's how they fooled people for years. Any normal person would think "overdraft protection" means, "deny the transaction so you don't overdraft." But nope, complete opposite.

It was so scummy.

Oh it was far worse than that...

They would actually change the order of your transactions in order to maximize the number of overdrafts (and each cost $30+).

For example, say you've got $80 in your account. You buy three separate meals over the course of Monday and Tuesday, and you've got $50 left in your account. But now you remember that there is that one thing they NEEDS to be paid for, but it's $75 and you only have $50 on your account.

Well, you have no choice but to make the payment that brings you to -$25, and incur the single overdraft fee. Sucks, but $30 penalty is less than not having Internet for a month or whatever, so you do it.

So to recap: You had $50 left after those 3 meals. You made one single transaction that brought your account into negative, that means one overdraft fee, right?

Nope.

They would literally re-order the transactions, put the largest one first ($75), bringing your balance down to $5, THEN they would process the meals from Monday and Tuesday giving you THREE separate overdraft fees of $30 each.

So now you owe the bank $90 on top of the $25. And that was what the banks sold as, "overdraft protection."

Shit was disgustingly egregious. Obama made it illegal I believe.

I mean, we've been telling them their entire lives that the planet is doomed, and they have no future... So why the fuck not bring on the debt?

Ads you say?

I'll have to take your word for it...

These people simply believe that the rules do not apply to them... And I guess why would they since reality has proven them correct time and time again.

No spoilers for me neither, since I'm still playing Rebirth... I just felt the urge to talk about how much this little prick gets on my nerves....

Anyone else? Or is it just me?

Having a blast with the game either way... But fuck Chadley.

And here I was told that the government doesn't need to take care of these things because churches and charities will pick up the slack...

The disease then spread to three other people at CHOP, two of whom were already hospitalized there for other reasons.

Two of those infected at the hospital were a parent and child. The child had not been vaccinated and the parent was offered medication usually given to unvaccinated people that can prevent infection after exposure to measles, but refused it, the Philadelphia Inquirer first reported.

Despite quarantine instructions, the child was sent to day care on Dec. 20 and 21, the health department said.v

It's shocking how far backwards we've gone with respect to basic science... When I was a kid, vaccines were a given. Nobody ever batted an eye.

Fuck Andrew Wakefield.

Fucking insanity. Nobody but this woman and her fucking doctor should even know about this shit. Unbelievable.

“When the police officer had his body cam off, they were yelling and telling me, ‘We’re gonna go to the full extent. We’re gonna put you in a lockbox,’” Timothy said. “Then, when the body cam was finally on, they were so nice.”

How are we still letting cops just turn off body cams? It defeats the entire fucking purpose.

The people in these comments talking like this is "just another day in a US city" have no fucking idea what they're talking about. This is not the kind of violence that randomly happens. This person was clearly targeted.

They also fail to grasp the concept of "per capita" crime/murder statistics.

Let's be clear, Hunter Biden hasn't actually been formally accused of anything.

After this much time of people searching for anything, yet there still isn't enough evidence to make a clear accusation, seems kind of obvious that he doesn't deserve to go to prison. Unless someone can provide some kind of evidence of criminal activity, but I won't hold my breath.

This isn't a "both sides are the same" thing. Not even close.
