Churning. The art of spending money in a circle using accounts that offer rewards.

I knew a guy who had like 50 credit cards and 25 bank accounts. He could move money in circles all month, and get like $100k/year in cash back rewards on top of his $100k/year job. His credit report said he spent $8M a year on credit cards. His credit score was 845.

He also pretty much flew for free, and he flew all the time. There were a few mileage programs in his little scheme.

As far as I can tell, 100% legal. The banks just make frequent changes to their offerings to make it hard to do.

You don’t live in Britain where:

• This is a name people have.
• It’s pronounced like that.

Nobody was hurt

I mean, they both also won just a little bit of CTE.

Yeah, at this point in the game the Fascists have fully co-opted patriotism. If you’re proud of America right now, you’re a Nazi. 7/4 and 1776 are in the same category as 1488 these days. Patriotism is complacency in the face of violent Nationalism.

Just keep calling everyone Nazi. See how much it helps.

Nazi 🫵

“The guy officially cited for his extremist views with the big gigantic Nazi tattoos who was just put into power by a self-described dictator deserves the benefit of a doubt”

Absolutely not.

It’s literally just a section of a news website. A website run by people dedicated to holding the rich and powerful accountable.

I can only assume you’re a Trumper, mocking the mere concept of accountability, and throwing shade at people opposed to the president-elect.

Republicans: “No. Research is useless.”

I don’t think anyone can actually answer your question if you’re not telling us where in the USA you’re visiting. This place is enormous, and the culture isn’t homogeneous.

I have a 60TB media collection, so this would end up costing $600/month.

Instead, I back all my media up to LTO-6 tapes, and store them at a storage unit.

LTO-6 drive: $400 10x LTO-6 tapes (62.5TB): $200 Small off-site storage unit: $30/month

I am perfectly aware that he’s a shitlib.

If you don’t like weird billionaires running the show and pushing political misinformation, don’t use Facebook.

Threads was awash in bullshit “hacked at the tabulation level” election conspiracy theories following the election. It may not be MAGA, but it’s still making people stupid.

Meta even has Project 2025 people on staff helping run Threads: https://www.intomore.com/the-internet/why-did-meta-just-hire-this-ron-desantis-approved-project-2025-alum/

Stop using social media run by billionaires of you’re tired of getting fucked over by the ruling class.

“Relationship ended with Elon Musk. Mark Zuckerberg is my best friend now.”

This is a picture of Tehran’s upper class youth from the 70’s, and it is often posted as if it were everyday life in Iran.

Spoiler: The rich in Iran can still do whatever they want.

Literally zero chance that Musk ever federates X. He went through so much trouble just to ruin the API, you think he’s gonna implement ActivityPub?

In China? I mean, there were two back to back incidents, but to my understanding not a pattern.

Personally, I don’t really see that much value in the affirmative consent of the dead. Viable organs are hard to get, and save lives. I think it’s worth it to keep it opt-out.

Historically

You mean the only other civil war in US history, in the 19th century? Are you actually suggesting that the lack of “forum posts” means anything at all?

Welcome to the 21st century. The world is different than last time.

Anti-fascist action is self-defense.
