The one with the sassy woman living her best life with all the other childless dancer at the market?
Or the one with all the young women in everyday situations in empty white voids?
Look I get a lot of birthcontrol ads because the algorithm doesn't understand IVF.

I get commercials from all over with youtube. I think I've seen some North Dakota tire shop commercial about a dozen times in the last few weeks. I live in Colorado.

Sling keeps showing me ads from Oklahoma.

I get exclusively commercials that are some dude talking in a tone of voice that makes him sound like the world's biggest rear end in a top hat and he's pitching all-natural soap/colonics/supplements

i plead the fif, your honor

i dunno, i might have (a bad) one now that i wasn't able to pay the $2,500 ER bill from when a homeless lady's pitbull bit my arm when i was jogging like, hm, 7 months ago now? gonna pay it when i can, but that's not now. i've heard credit explained before and it all sounds like borrowing money i don't loving have to buy things i can't afford? lol so maybe some day down the line they'll maybe let me borrow some more money? i tried getting one last year but either they hosed up the application or i did and i forgot about it because i kinda don't care.

i was opening my first bank account in years and the lady who was setting up said she had to go into other room to check my credit score. she came back in the room and just kept going on with the application, yada yada blah blah blah, and i said "wait, hold on, didn't you check my credit score? what was it?" she said "oh..uh..yeah, you don't have one."

:yaycat:

There are pretty good reasons to use a credit card besides getting a good credit score. The risk from fraud is way lower because the card issuer assumes it, not you. If you get scammed/ID theft and they drain your checking account with your debit card information it's a huge pain in the rear end to maybe get your money back.

Also there's no rule that you actually have to overspend on your credit card. Just don't spend money you don't already have and pay it back every month (i.e. spend the way you already do) and you'll never pay any interest, plus whatever rewards you get.

This, but straight razors and implied "accidents"

Is Bezos being launched by the Russians like everyone else going to space? Because of he is and the rocket doesn't blow up, that's at least a pretty good argument that Russia is not communist.
