That’s a fact. He has hordes of female fans who meticulously track his movement. I know one of his “superfans”, the mother of a high school classmate of mine. She’s been running a Depp fan site basically ever since there was an internet to put it on. And they are able to find out where he is at all times. So yeah he’s…

I can’t speak for insurance, I only know those positions exist because my father in law works as an independent insurance investigator and he’s mentioned it before.

Here’s one for recent grads who don’t like office work to look into - insurance companies and real estate research/consulting firms both love to hire recent grads (business, accounting, engineering, real estate or finance grads are best but that’s not necessarily required) to do “field work.”

Anything to show the poor that they deserve nothing, that they’re worth nothing. That’s how assholes like that think.

Most of the things I listed above can’t be costing Amazon that much. Discounts for active military and veterans are pretty common, so I think it’s natural that people are going to be bringing that up now that Amazon is offering a discount for low income households. Granted, there’s a hell of a lot of overlap in those…

They should. I checked and although they have a program to hire veterans, a program in place to allow Prime video to be streamed on US military bases around the world, they support charities that benefit military families and veterans, and they let their Amazon original shows be broadcast on the free cable on bases,…

Yes, it only works if you are able to afford to buy in bulk in the first place. Hopefully this makes it easier for some people though.

Yeah I think traces8 has it right. Most people don’t stay on those programs for an extended period of time. But they’ll get used to the service and when they have more money to buy things a fair percentage will opt to keep the subscription at full price. Just like with the discounted Prime for college students.

That was literally me for about a month my freshman year of college. So embarrassing, ugh.

He seems exactly like my mother’s ex-husband (a second husband, not my father, thank christ). In his case, it turned out - 1.) he’s a fucking sociopath - not exaggerating, 2.) he’s so deep in the closet that he hooked up with my mother, led her on to the point of marrying her, and knocked her up with a child neither…

Really emphasizes that to him, everything is about appearance.

I hate him with such a burning passion.

I honestly think they can’t get rid of income based repayment, at least not entirely. I do think changes to it might be coming soon, but getting rid of it would just cause a huge percentage of people to stop making payments altogether. Too many of us are on it, in one form or another, at this point. It could break the…

I used to think “never go to bed angry” but eventually we discovered that sometimes that’s the best thing to do. Better go to bed angry than stay up until 2 am on a work night because you feel the need to hash things out right that second. Usually when we wake up, the problem doesn’t seem as important anymore, anyway,…

I’m sorry, that is awful. I’ve had three pregnancy tests from PP over the years and never experienced that. I don’t see how they would be allowed legally to give that info to advertisers. I’ve heard of hospitals doing that but that’s after delivery.

Oh, jeez. I would definitely lie on that one. I read a lot of romance books, and that’s nobody’s business but mine. I’d probably give a classic scifi or fantasy title, anything that’s inoffensive that I’d be able to chat about for a few minutes.

I’m an older millennial, and I did learn to cook at an early age, but I still don’t bother with meal planning, couponing, and daily cooking at home. I have no kids, a tiny kitchen, and a fairly high stress job with long hours. It’s not that I don’t know how, it’s that I’d rather save my energy for other things (trying…

Okay, so they are paying, it’s just that the amount they are paying out is less than the amount they get back? I made under 25,000 for about ten years and never got more than 800 back (federal and state refunds combined), but I’m single with no kids.

Kind of a moot point since she’s out of the picture now, isn’t it?

How is anyone not paying any tax at all? What is the situation there? Like you live in a state without sales tax, and don’t work at all so you avoid income tax as well as social security taxes? I’d just like to see the numbers that prove that applies to 25%. And what is that 25% of? US citizens total? Or population…
