  • I’ve never been in a situation where I’ve been using my computer and thought to myself “this is nice, but, I wish I could do this same thing, but from further than 12’ away so I can squint.”

    Who are these people that need to be “untethered” while using a computer. Laptop, I can see.

  • Funny, I was here to also tell a story except about a psych nurse. A “friend” of a friend. This actually happened recently. Dude was a cop, as was my friend(past tense is important here), they bonded over PTSD as well as both being on a psych unit. Well, dude tells a lot of stories about his copping days, and my buddy vouches for him as a date for a coworker. Turns out, guy is crazy, gets super possessive, crazy stuff like sending hundreds of texts a day, and violently rapes her. His whole backstory of being a cop was a lie, after digging, and finding close to double digits social media accounts, turns out he was separated for “administrative purposes” and moved here.

    Most unsettling thing, for both me, and my friend, is, there weren’t really a ton of egregious red flags. Looking back, sure, but in the moment, absolutely not. He’s having a hard time trusting his judgment(insert quip about being a cop at one point). I truly believe that was the first psychopath I’ve met.

  • Immigrants have the mindset that they’re going to the country that they want to live in, permanently. Expats are generally temporarily. Most people that leave the US, tend to leave on education or work visas. Not a ton of them attempt to gain citizenship or integrate into local society.

  • You’d think there’d be a threshold where they just say “no” though?

    I’m not shocked I got approved, even with that interest rate, my credit isn’t bad, just non existent.

    I’m shocked my friend got approved with 2 judgements. What’s the point of a judgment? I suppose I don’t know the details, they could be old, etc. just seems irresponsible.

  • So, anecdotally, I had to go vehicle shopping for work, I was talking to a guy who doesn’t have good credit. I go, “how was buying a car for you? I’m nervous cause I don’t really have credit.”

    Dude goes “yeah, honestly, I was told they stopped doing credit checks, I put down my companies gross income as my gross income and they just ran with it.”

    “That sounds like the car version of 2008?”

    “Hahaha yeah, I guess it is.”

    Now, when I had to buy a truck, they did run a credit check, and I ended up needing a co-signer, but, none the less, interesting to hear that, then see this article.

    Edit: I should also note, I needed a co-signer for a not insane interest rate. The bank would still loan to me personally, just at 17.5%. So, I mean, he’s probably right. I’m not sure you get actually turned down. Dude has 2 judgements against him.
