No, there’s a US law now where they have to allow you to opt out of overdraft “protection”. They just decline the transaction but don’t charge you any fees.

Some cities have municipal internet service, which they are able to provide at a much, much lower rate than commercial options. Here’s one example of a resident in Lafayette, La. They would on average pay $73.10 annually on the municipal network, versus $690.87 annually on a private network. The same article also shows much lower average rates for commercial networks when they have to compete with public services.

So yeah, it’s just greed.

AUDIENCE

BOOO! BOOO!

CATHERINE (one hand on her hip, the other defiantly pointing at the audience)

I do as I please! I do as I please! Y’all don’t know me! I do as I please!

In what way was Franklyn Cicero greedy? Wasn’t his whole role to advocate for the common man?

I’m sure he felt very clever.

10 min: This should be interesting. 20 min: Why does this feel… off? 30 min: I must be missing a lot of historical references. 40 min: Wait, is the audience the butt of the joke here? 50 min - 90 min: confusion/anger 100 min: Holy shit Aubrey Plaza is hot 120 min: He made a whole movie for that one scene 🤣

I’d never seen that before. Holy shit.

She definitely left out part of that story.

How do you nominate for comment of the year?

I don’t want to go back to cleaning mouse balls.

There’s Waldo.

It is, but I figured it out eventually. I mean he did. Probably.

Disqueue, then.

Disque?

… I reluctantly accept your offer.

No it’s more likely that my emotionally and financially abusive car stealing, gaslighting, steal-money-out-of-my-wallet-while-I’m-sleeping parent just didn’t want to be held accountable for her shitty “parenting.” Also the multiple expert evaluations that say I’m not diagnosably autistic. But I guess I should listen to the guy that analyzes people’s mental health based on a four sentence internet post uninvited, right?

CUT TO PETER AND HIS FATHER

PETER (screaming and fighting his father) You can’t oppress me!

etc.

YO, my mom did this to me! In fact I figured a lot of this shit out when I found r/raisedbynarcissists. I saw a lot of people there claimed to be on the spectrum which I thought was pretty weird. So I follow the rabbit hole and I learn about PTSD, CPTSD and I start seeing a therapist about it. Turns out she just didn’t want to be responsible for fucking up her kid.
