Such upstanding future citizen of the United States of America! Let's definitely drop him off at Obama's estate please, he could sure use the pool for chilling a bit.

Wow, it's amazing what happens when someone is treated like an animal! How do you expect people to act when they are being treated like actual animals? Get some sense!

Cue the airhead bozos that won't actually read the article and just point to the NYPost as being right wing fear mongering propaganda

I read the article and still think the NY Post is right wing fear mongering propaganda. Cue the nativists that will take this guy and pretend that all or most migrants are just like him.

#NOTALLIMMIGRANTS #NOTALLMEN

Throw them all out and send their governments the bill.

This is what it always is right? Use the one, or several, who should be deported to justify unneeded cruelty to hundreds of thousands of people.

That's the point of these sorts of stories and framing by the way. Obviously this shit is bad and the guy should be deported, but don't lose sight of the NY Post's agenda

No, I've wanted them all thrown out since this whole thing started. This one article didn't influence my opinion at all.

This is a GOP talking point, says National Dems politicians.

n-no this was a doing by the OTHER SIDE (the bad guys)

Read the article. This guy is literally doing stuff to get put in prison because his basic needs aren't being met. He was stealing chips and toothpaste when he first started.

he should've recieved a check from the government right when he crossed the border!

Sure this is bad of course, but why put migrant in the title? Stop weaponizing it.

don't mention race, economic status, citizenship, or motives unless they're white

This is Paki tier nonsense.

I had to c*m across this rag piece today so you do too. I was deeply divided on whether to post it here or in peakpoors but I'm feeling a little misogynist today Where do I even start? I guess at the top:

Seven years ago, I wrote an essay about what life would feel like if I didn't struggle with saving money [...] writing that essay and having it go viral failed to change the struggle I had with my own bank account.

Classic L

A lack of impulse control, she said, leads to impulse spending, and difficulty with executive functioning and planning make budgeting a struggle.

I don't have a mental disorder (I am flawless) but I think I'm right to speak that this is an insult to spoonies who have figured out how to manage their life, with or without a diagnosis.

“I have found such a clear correlation with my impulsivity and my cycles,” she said. Estrogen dips on premenstrual days, she explained, and because estrogen and dopamine typically work together, low estrogen means low dopamine, causing her to be more impulsive. “I cross-correlated it with my credit card statements, and there's a $600 bump in those days,” she said.

She used sticker charts, colored progress trackers, and bullet journaling to “hack the system” of her brain. She also automated her savings and debt payments.

Emphasis mine. Who doesn't do this?

Ms. Fulmore started therapy to deal with the shame she had accumulated from a world that reflected a message that her struggles were her fault.

It _is_ your fault. That's okay to accept, though. But instead of doing that...

She also started the stimulant medication Vyvanse, which helped her focus and reduce her spending. Aside from her student loans, she's now free of debt.

“I'm in a number of support groups, and hearing so many other women share the same stories of struggling with money or struggling with impulsivity or self-control, it was just validating to feel like, OK, well, I'm not the only one,” she said. “So maybe I'm not as bad a person as I thought I was.”

You probably think this post is about you
