eBay is usually the cheapest IMO
The same vintage “rare” McDonald’s T-shirt I wanted was $50+ on Etsy, Mercari, Poshmark, even some eBay sellers. But I got it for $2 from a dude on eBay 🤷♀️
Etsy is way worse at what OP is talking about, but I’m using it for vintage stuff not really electronics. For electronic stuff I use Swappa mostly
Yeah I like having basic human rights. It’s a big ask to even ask anyone to stay there, let alone move there. It’s literally life and death for women who can’t get an abortion.
I have received $0 from my parents. My grandma helped me buy some furniture when I moved out to my first apartment, and bless her for that. But I cannot comprehend asking for that much money from my parents, not that they would have it to give me anyway. I feel bad when they want to pay for my dinner, let alone $30k+.
Despite that, I have managed to save more than enough saved for a down payment. But with the market the way it is I have no interest in dropping that much money for a house, especially when our landlord hasn’t raised the rent for years and we have a good deal. $30k from your parents is a drop in the bucket when you’re looking at a huge ass mortgage payment every month. A house would have to be magical as fuck for the amount they are gonna charge per month with the current prices and rates.
Oh, I was thinking about the situation where you need cash quickly because you don’t have enough money to cover something. If you can pay it off immediately then that changes the entire conversation.
I would highly recommend you stop speaking for other autistic and ADHD people. If you think accommodations can help you with everything, that’s great. I’m not doubting that. But it’s ignorant as fuck to assume that your experience is the one true experience and you already know my entire life experience and autistic traits to be able to correct me like that.
Let other autistic and ADHD people speak for themselves. We are more than capable.
The correct way to use cash advance is to never use it. Seriously they have a totally different (way higher!) APR that accrues from the first day. Read the conditions of your card and calculate how much you’ll be paying if you take out $100 for example
Much better to get a personal loan if you are in that situation. The interest will suck but way less than cash advance
I mostly agree, except for the last part about marginalization. The idea you can always overcome whatever disability/disorder/whatever with hard work and the right mindset is not accurate at all. And that’s not you wanting to be a victim, it’s you advocating for what you need. Accommodations exist for everyone, they just cater to abled/neurotypical people instead. Once I finally admitted to myself I was disabled and stopped trying to live my life like I am 100% able bodied improved my life A LOT.
And disabled/chronically ill/neurodivergent people DO face a lot of discrimination regardless of if you want to admit it or not. We should be fighting for improvement in treatment, acknowledging people treat you like less of a person doesn’t mean you actually are less of a person. ESPECIALLY in the current political climate… once LGBT+ people are dehumanized sufficiently disabled people are going to be next.
I don’t disagree that neurodivergent people would have a way better time if people/society took them into consideration more. But I am low support needs and still consider it a disorder. My boyfriend has ADHD and agrees. While there are a lot of things that would be fixed by having sensory friendly environments for example, there are still a lot of things about being autistic that hinder me that I wish would go away regardless of what accommodations exist.
Ok now we are gonna have to fight irl

I actually agree with you that the hate is overblown. But in comparison to 1 and 3 it’s definitely not as good. I wouldn’t even say it’s a bad movie, it’s just kinda meh
A lot of employees out sick = less work being done
Less severe symptoms doesn’t mean they are still showing up to work.
Cars 1 and 3 are really good movies and you should watch them if you have not. Cars 3 is my favorite.
And I don’t even like cars
I don’t really feel anything about the dictionary definition of words tbh
And the word phobia has meant aversion or hatred since at least the 1800s

Dude is so obsessed with the meaning of words he couldn’t even do basic research
Phobia doesn’t only mean fear. Things that are hydrophobic aren’t scared of water
Not really, groceries are expensive af too
Every industry is causing inflation via greed rn
Median rent right now is $2k. Rule of thumb is 1/3 or less of income spent on housing. So that’s $6k a month. With comes out to 72k a year, pretty close.
All these articles act like workers have become so uppity and demanding but all they want is to live reasonably.
I would consider a new dentist, and probably a sedation dentist if you have issues with numbing.
Depending on what you are having done, there is also laser dentistry. And my dentist has some special drill where he has done shallow cavities for me with no novacaine and I didn’t feel shit except the usual drilling/pressure feeling.
This dentist just sounds shitty. Yes you were tensing up but you already told them a bunch of times you were in pain. They should have had a plan in place that y’all had agreed upon for dealing with a situation where the lidocaine wears off. Or maybe schedule you at a time where there are no other patients so they could go as fast as possible with no interruptions. Maybe I am expecting too much here but my dentist is the bomb and would easily do that for someone.
I feel like going through each other’s phones is a line that, if I need to cross, then the relationship is dead. I no longer trust my partner. Even if I go through his phone and he’s not cheating I just admitted the trust is gone anyway. It doesn’t sound like a healthy relationship to me.
And yes I acknowledge some relationships have an open phone policy like this, but that’s not applicable in a situation where you are creeping through someone’s phone without consent.
Its some shirt they gave out as a promotion for the Flintstones movie in 1994 lol. I have weird taste
