  1. We live on the same street a few houses apart. Shes one of my garage drinking buddies.
  2. I can provide an example (I think its an example)... one of my friends is AA, and an obviously LGBT woman, and anytime we go anywhere together you can immediately see other peoples judgements. Or they completely ignore the fact thats shes standing right next to me and focus the conversation towards me. Its subtle and hard to explain...for example we went to Home Depot to get some stuff for her house and she asked a clerk where something was and he ignored her and responded to me and I was just standing there. Or once we went to a car dealership to drop off her car for an oil change, and I walked in behind her, and the dude focused on me first even though she was ahead of me. I dont know if its her race or sexuality (or both?), and maybe Im making it up in my head, but its really eye opening. Is that white privilege? Is that racism? Is that homophobia? Is that all three?
  3. Ooooh, theyre SO getting cancelled on Odnoklassniki. Basically the same points you have raised are what made my BS-dar flicker. But at the end of the day I hope all US residents get their bag from the fatcats, so its win/win for @Hurlsnot. I just need to find the way in for me and mine. We have a Wells Fargo mortgage too (almost paid off, woohoo!) but now I cant help but wonder if they hate the Italians too and Ive been getting slightly shafted this entire time? But I think we Italians are lumped in with whitey?
  4. Whoa, whoa, whoa, *checks pamphlet* thats how we get our free oil from the ME and cheap gasoline. But Im with you here! Theres currently ~10T in US home mortgage balances...if we just halved our military expenditures, and eliminated racist lending practices, we could be living the good life in free houses in just 20 years! Another ~51B in annual foreign aid would probably pay for a lot of college too. Smh. *shakes fist at sky*
  5. Oh, hes stated them a few times. You must have missed those posts.
  6. I dont. I mean, its weird that two 6-figure earners would get a slightly poopier interest rate (3k back over 120k?) simply because she selected that box on the form, and no other reason. But I can get behind these banking racist fatcats getting their comeuppance and wish I too could find a loophole for some relief.
  7. Hell, housing is a basic need and should be free. But I might have misunderstood your case. I thought: 1) You got the interest rate you deserved based on your income, credit history, etc. Not because your wife ticked the "hispanic" box on the loan application. 2) Then Wells Fargo misdeeds were revealed and an opportunity presented itself for you to get free money. 3) Profit?
  8. Are you sure your prime / subprime status was based on your wifes race, or your combined credit score?
  9. Mysterious Aircraft Spotted At Area 51 In Unprecedented Satellite Image.
  10. In the Walmarts around here, those two blends are available premade in the freezer section. Then I add fresh bananas and milk (which I forgot to mention earlier).
  11. In an attempt to eat healthier, but not too healthier, I got a nutribullet blender for Christmas and have been makink smoothies. I tried a combo of bluberry, blackberry, raspberry, strawberry and banana and it was alright (too many seeds). Then I tried peach, pineapple, kiwi, grape and banana and its delicious. Actually, the older the banana the better, for me.
  12. Youre "caucasian looking" but got a minority rebate? Are you jewish?
  13. Washington announces new team name: Washington Commanders.
  14. Whoa thats astronomical! Do you have alternative means for heating your homes in Germany besides your furnace? What do you keep your thermostat temperature set to? Let me see if I can math that out... $190 / .63 = 301.58 therms used by me. Then multiplied by your therm price... 302 x 3.74 = $1,129.48. WHAT! That cant be right. Someone help me out here. No worries. I dont recall any protests but I may just not have noticed. Speed limit signs seems like it would be a good place to start considering the speedometers in our cars already have a km/h ring built in below the mph ring.
  15. "Therm"! Thank you, I couldnt remember the units. Yeah it went from 21 cent per to 63 cent per. And I use it like crazy, for example I run my fireplace almost 14h a day, but I do keep my thermostat set to 68F. I think the bill was ~$190 and she was aghast until we noticed the price increase.
  16. Good! He can take his 6-0 record against the Cowboys and get the hell out!
  17. I think that might actually cause the US to secede from the world itself in protest! XD "I reject your reality and substitue my own!" Huh? The "average American" (of certain generations) uses the Imperial system because thats what we were taught, not because we need to be different. I would think thats evident? Youde have to confirm with @Hurlsnot, but I think they teach the metric system in school nowadays?
  18. Roughly $7.25 / gallon! There would be rioting in the streets if that was the price here. Right now, the 89 octane costs $3.80 / gallon.
  19. You know, my wife was just voicing her displeasure over the gas bill and I looked over her shoulder...gas increased in price from .21 in Jan 2021 to .63 in Jan 2022. Im gonna need some UBI or Ill never financially recover from this. WTH! How many gallons is that?
  20. Ive never met an Australian that I didnt like. And theyre super fun to party with.
  21. Watched the first three episodes that @Hiro Protagonist linked. Not bad!
  22. Just fyi, the edit function is located under the three dots in the top right of each post.
