Leave it out and it’ll be 90% oil, 10% pure poison.

That’s why my credit score went down when I paid off my student loans, right? Get the fuck outta here.

Yes a bad credit score could stop you from having access to things in emergencies, yes it could stop you from having access to things that are important in life, but there are a lot of extra steps and special circumstances that have to occur before a bad credit score is directly responsible for your fridge being empty. Most of those conditions involve simply not having money to access in the first place, and very few of them are going to be as sudden and immediately effective as a freeze on your bank account.

Needing access to financial services to handle a possible emergency is all well and good, but lacking that support structure absolutely pales in comparison to simply being forbidden from conducting commerce of any kind. No emergency needed, savings are irrelevant, the only preparation that could help you is a mattress full of cash and that’s definitely neither a good solution nor a long lasting one. People live their lives every day with bad credit scores, it sucks but it’s doable. Freezing what assets they have would make an immediate and decidedly negative impact well beyond the inability to get a loan. Thinking that credit scores are worse because they’re not a hypothetical future problem is like saying a stubbed toe is worse than getting shot, because you haven’t gotten shot yet.

A bad credit score won’t prevent me from buying groceries.

Yes credit scores are bullshit and the capitalist drive to maximize profit returns that leads to the application of credit scores to all sorts of things is a problem, but you’re delusional if you think credit scores are WORSE than the potential to entirely freeze bank accounts due to political opinions.

Why even bother? If they’re gonna put them in a locked case so you have to go get someone to get one for you, nobody is going to buy them. Anyone that open with that sort of thing wouldn’t be shopping at walmart for that.

You know you can just turn off showing adult games again right? I’m pretty sure that’s a setting that’s off by default, but it’s definitely a setting.

I’m not sure if the creator of this food crime should be forced to eat it all, or if we should burn it in nuclear fire before it has the chance to reproduce.

I don’t know where you’re getting the idea that people don’t care. People do care, a lot of people care a lot. Part of the problem is that people who want to act ethically and politely, people who want to minimize harm, are going to be at a distinct disadvantage when opposing people for whom the ends always justify the means, and the ends they seek are their own betterment above all else.

If your idea of action is sternly worded letters and peaceful protest, and my idea of action is violence and unabashed corruption of authority, you’re going to have a real uphill battle to dislodge me from any power I manage to gain. It doesn’t mean the corrupt assholes are unstoppable, only that their methods are more aligned with the acquisition and retention of power.

Soon they will reveal their latest invention, the Torment Nexus, from the hit Sci Fi novel, Don’t Create the Torment Nexus.
