I also refused a credit card when I was a student - the bank offered me a $10k limit card. I laughed. “In what universe can I pay that back if I do something stupid with it?” I asked. They had no answer (presumably because they are not allowed to say things like, “We hope you can never afford more than the interest…

I had the opposite problem. My mom wouldn’t let me get one (and I’m aware that once I was 18, I could’ve anyway) even though I’ve always been responsible with money because she’s in a ton of credit card debt. Then the economy tanked my junior year of college and I wasn’t able to get a credit card at all till over two…

About 15 years ago my dumbass brother signed up for his first credit card with an interest rate of 25%. Our mother nearly hit the roof when she found out and made him cancel it because she knew with his dumbassery that he’d be in an endless cycle of debt.

We can charge high interest rates to a young demographic of customer who will be on the hook for 1000's of dollars for years because they don’t earn enough to pay bills in full.

*Raises hand* that was me and I wish I had had your good judgment! Now that I’m old and have good credit again and could actually handle a Forever 21 card, there’s just not enough I want to buy there. College me would have been destroyed, though.

ooooooooooooohnooooooooooo

Forever 21 hundred dollars in debt

Ha, okay true :P

I’m guessing that she has better things to think about than internet squabbles.

Maybe it’s because of my contrarian nature, but the more people refer to Beyonce as flawless/queen/supreme overlord of everything the less I like her. I do think she likes it, at least a little. I think it’s partially that she knows that the group could turn on her, but I also thinks she likes being the center of…

There’s a weird dichotomy in how stans like these think of the object of their obsession. On the one hand, she’s OMG QUEEN, someone they acknowledge to be strong, independent, and on top of the world. But somehow at the same time she is also completely vulnerable and incapable of defending herself from “attacks,” no…

I’m a big Bey fan too, though I am in no way a part of the Hive. My impression is that Bey just really doesn’t care. I honestly think this shit is so far off her radar. I mean, she obvi knows that she has crazy loyal fans, but I doubt she spends much time thinking about the shit they get up to. I could be wrong,…

I’m a major Beyoncé fan, though I don’t engage in this kind of thing (it’s gotta only be like snotty 14-year-olds with nothing else better to do, right?).

These days, the quote “there’s no replacement for displacement” doesn’t really hold true. It never really did with F1 cars, but now you can get a 2.0 inline 4 engine to push over 1000hp, and be street legal.

I believe it’s four 250hp turbojets. Still....Holy Crap.

Yeah I would say that seems a bit optimistic, especially in that amount of space.

1000 Horsepower? I question that number. If he has created an engine that small that cranks out as much power as a V-12, that’s a bigger story than a flying platform.

You’re not alone in that interpretation. I can see the rapey implications though. It wasn’t a smart desicion to make this shirt though

I would like this shirt.

I read it that way too, but I think that what the message COULD mean and refer to is what puts this shirt into the burn pile. Like it could be ‘stand up for yourself/don’t over extend your resources’ but it could also be ‘how was I suppose to know that that maybe was more of a no??’ victim blaming type shit.

Yeah that’s how I’m reading it too? Maybe I need more caffeine?
