I’ve never had it happen with a credit card (compounding interest is what kicks your ass there), but definitely a bank debit card. Most banks I know of these days still apply overdraft fees too.

Not sure if the sovcit is talking about doing this with a credit or debit card

I think crypto is dumb as hell but by this logic, how are any speculative assets not Ponzi schemes then? I’d argue that by definition, it’s not a ponzi. How could it be? What entity is controlling and organizing the flow of money in such a way that investors are repaid FIFO? Not only that but there’s zero guarantee based on position in line that you’ll make any amount of money relative to that position — a guarantee you’d likely have in most Ponzi schemes.

Idk. There are a lot of reasons to hate blockchains and bitcoin but trying to label it as something is fundamentally is not seems counterproductive and disingenuous.

Hey now, or an engineer…. We have pretty terrible handwriting too sometimes

A big problem with libertarianism is that republicans also flock to it when their own party doesn’t go “far enough” with its free market policy. The best route is to move to the left after becoming disillusioned with libertarians, but a lot of them unfortunately move towards anarcho capitalism— which is like, absolutely insane shit lol

The end all be all here is — don’t rape. Idk why you’ve got such a problem with that, most reasonable people don’t. If you can’t understand that then I don’t think you have any right to say who is a problem at all 😂

lol who is spouting the double standards?? “If he tried to report it it wouldn’t go anywhere” ummm not true? Kinda sounds like you’re speaking from experience lol

It’s okay one day your frontal lobe will be fully formed and you’ll understand the basics of how the world works.

Keep labeling me whatever you want, the only one who is in the wrong is you lol

Lmao what? You’re insane. Bye!

lol what? Literally what, a dozen times now? I’ve said if he was raped, he should report it. Stop putting words in my mouth lol

you do better, rape sympathizer.

This thread is full of prepubescent teen boys who seem to think “mens rights” are under attack and that rape is edgy. Y’all are absolutely insane, and I think it’s very telling that you continue to try to make me seem like the bad person here. Make no mistake: it’s y’all lol

That’s not at all what I’m saying. Are you saying that intoxicated consent is valid consent?

lol you’re sooo close to the point

No, not me, but you’re on the right track!

Sorry you’re perceiving it that way, but no, you’re wrong.

I know you want me to be like “oh no poor guy, men have it so hard in the dating world” but I’m not…. I don’t feel sorry for guys who get charged with rape — it’s a simple concept: don’t rape. Don’t assault.

It’s funny that the people on this post have such a problem with that.

Nah, I empathize with victims of rape. I urge them to report it when it happens. If you think that’s insane, well, says more about you than it does me

What is the point of this comment? I have never been raped, if that is what you’re implying. I’m capable of empathizing with victims of rape

And? If either one of them felt as though they were taken advantage of, they should report the rape, no?

Did he wake up and think, “oh damn, I didn’t want to have sex last night”? If so, then yes, charge her. If not, then once again, he is in the wrong.

Rape charges don’t materialize from thin air. If she reported it then yes, fuck Jake not because of his penis, but because he did not obtain consent.

For some reason this thread has become chock full of people who seem to think men can do no wrong and “equality” means charging both people for rape even though only one of them felt they were assaulted. It’s understandable considering the demographics of the internet and social media sites like lemmy in general (often young men, teenagers, etc). But this is what the poster is talking about — you continue to make assumptions about what this woman has decided to do and consent to, when you have no right to those assumptions because she is intoxicated. It’s incredibly simple, but this thread is blinded by “woman bad” rhetoric around rape charges.

If you don’t rape, you won’t be in this situation. No ifs ands or buts about it. You can argue with me all you want, you can call me crazy all you want, it doesn’t change the fact I am right. Whining and crying about the unfairness of the courts when it comes to assault charges is a cringey position to take. Do better.

What was twitter at pre elonification?

Big brain business time lol. Musk is fuckin dumb
