Turn an orgy problem into an orgy opportunity

It's hard to finance a car that old, although you'll probably have trouble financing anything right now with limited credit. A buy here pay here lot will get you into a car, but you really don't want that.

Only thing you can do is try to build credit. Make a credit karma account, it gives you instant credit reports updated every day, and they have a tool to suggest credit cards you qualify for. Then use them each month and pay them off when the statement comes, it doesn't have to be a lot, just enough that it shows up on your credit report. You can get a pretty good score jump in a few months.

Also, you can absolutely lie about your income to credit card companies, they don't check anything. Just don't lie to any other lenders, because they will check.

I realized they were in the right age group when I looked the song up, but listening to that to be funny seemed at odds with the way they looked. They're probably not that much older than me, but they looked like frail old people to me. It was a whole ordeal to get her in the truck.

I came out of the supermarket the other day and there was a lifted pickup truck blasting the South Park song, "Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo". I can't see anyone sitting in the driver's seat of the truck, so I assumed it was someone IRL trolling or something.

I get around the other side and a 50ish man is helping a woman climb into the stupid monster truck. I guess this couple earnestly likes listening to South Park music?

I can feel withdrawal in about 12 hours, but it's pretty mild until 24 and peaks at 48-56.

I only do hotels when I visit my family for holidays, but the ones I stay at have been way more expensive than they were 5 years ago.

They're also worse quality. My biggest gripe is that they put the AC on a motion sensor, so it stops working when you go to sleep. I'd be fine with it if the room stayed cool, but when you're on a higher floor it the heat rises. Climate control used the be the most basic feature of a hotel room.

It's all of the grift/graft reasons other people have written, but there are also a type of American that reads only this shit. They probably don't even read them, they just stack up until they die and their kids have to figure out what to do with them.

My partner volunteers at a charity thrift shop in the book section. They sometimes get shipments of books that were rejected by Goodwill because they're unmarketable. They get this kind of right wing political slop, which ends up in a dumpster.

I've always just told people when I feel that early "puppy love", which usually is a bit of a shock to them. I hate that term because it implies it's not real love, but I do recognize that it's different from the feeling of love that comes later, when you're more clear headed about the future of your relationship.

As to fears about scaring them off by saying it to early, it's a reasonable fear. People can be scared of commitment, and if they feel like things are moving too fast they could pull away. I think the right way to handle it is to feel them out by telling them romantic things that aren't a blunt, "I love you", and see how they react. Move it forward at a pace they seem comfortable with.

There wasn't much in the way of innovation in Uber/Lyft. Private Taxi companies and the regulated cab commissions were able to get competing apps going pretty quick. They just couldn't compete because they had to charge some kind of fee to the Taxi operators, while Uber was giving users a huge discount.

The venture capital firms knew from the beginning that Uber wasn't about technology or innovation, it was about being the next tech monopolist.

Get in between businesses and customers in an industry that's going through a technological change. Subsidize to the benefit of the businesses and the customers to prevent competition. Grow until you have monopoly power. Increase the costs to the users, then increase the costs to the businesses. Next step is usually offering to sell the customers to the businesses(usually by selling ads), but I could see it being some kind of Uber driver gold subscription or something that gives you priority in the app.

You can pretty easily pirate most popular Android games. The site with the most games/apps and no sketchy adware stuff is 4pda, a russian language web forum.

TFW:

I'll second getting a camcorder for the best value. They're good for this because they focus on having a big optical zoom and OIS over the sensor quality, and they're pretty compact and durable.

You can find them in stores with 20x optical zoom and OIS in the $600+ range, or less if you have time to wait for shipping.

A DSLR is a better value if you want to use it for other stuff in the future, though.
