Someone just post the dril tweet

What in the flying gently caress does she do that she brings home $360 a MONTH?!

I don't know anything about bankruptcy, but they're in a hole they're never going to get out of, they're roughly $60k in debt (with a huge chunk of that in credit cards that are more than double their limits) and their monthly expenses are ~$1,000 over what they make before you even get to making the minimum payments on their debts. Bankruptcy might be their only loving option. Holy poo poo.

I found it on Reddit, she works 2 days a week for her parents. She just graduated from HS (online) late because she had to drop out due to having the baby. Of course her relationship isn't great either she says.

The kind of nightmare where you can eat at a restaurant 30 days a month on someone else's dime instead of doing any work preparing food yourself. Seems rough :ohdear:

The money he makes from the side business barely covers the shop rent, lol.

quote:

Rent - we were hoping to move, right now we’re way too far out of town (all we could find when the place we were renting got sold out from under us) but both our cars crapped out and needed work so we no longer have the down payment money to move right now.
Phones - I have a phone and he has a phone, plus he has two work phones/lines. He swears he needs them and he uses them daily.
Horse - $350 is mucking and all, I don’t have the time to do it myself with my daughter but I’m thinking about leasing him so basically someone else pays to ride him because I need the money and I don’t ride him every day anyway.
Shop - We don’t have a garage and it wouldn’t be enough room for all his stuff anyway, his side business makes more that $500 a month but that doesn’t go very far with all the debt and bills.
Gas - We have two cars and live really far out of town. We both drive into town every single day and make a few stops after work and drive back out to go home again. Daycare is farther out of town so three days a week a go there twice a day too.
Food - Our living situation makes eating at home impossible right now. This house is a nightmare and we have no time to fix anything ever.
If it were up to me, our expenses would be a lot lower and money would be managed much better but right now it’s not up to me because I’m not the one “making any real money” as he says.

Doing some reading, you guys banned a bunch of guns but made up for the loss in mass shooting deaths with arson and stabbings.

The UK has ~18% of the murders per capita that the USA has. I can't see any quick way of comparing arson rates, but it looks like the US has more than twice the death rates by fire too. Apparently Trump made some dumb remarks about this recently because I found this article:

There were 34 firearm homicides in the US per million of population in 2016, compared with 0.48 shooting-related murders in the UK.

Knife murders are also higher stateside: there were 4.96 homicides “due to knives or cutting instruments” in the US for every million of population in 2016.

In Britain there were 3.26 homicides involving a sharp instrument per million people in the year from April 2016 to March 2017.

If your selling it mint in box, a fortune. If your selling whatever theyre calling a horse you have to pay to dispose of it.

My favorite rage comic was when some dude didnt get to be mod of /r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu and wrote a rage comic about how he was sad he was happy to have a shot and wished everyone the best... then did the "Actually, its not ok!" face and it went on about how important he was to the community because he invented the "loving melvin" face

I was talking about Australia. You usually hear statements like "Australia banned almost all guns after Port Arthur and never had a mass shooting again!", but they had multiple mass shootings and still a ton of mass murders through methods like arson, stabbings, and beatings so their post-ban body count is still pretty bad.
