tl;dr Microsoft introduces 24/7 surveillance functionality for the NSA and/or CIA but markets it as a feature that you'll like https://t.co/8eW0oekEnx

I somehow kept refreshing /r/drama every day during my lunch break during covid. It was dark days. But it was a light. Then it went to shit. But then the off-site was made and I found out about it. And I just open this shit up every day and seeing a page full of new links in the morning just hits me with a wave of dopamine I can't get anywhere else.

I'll never forget this site coming up during that wisconsin trial. Holy shit.

Mass love to you all

is nice

Have to steal @Gibberish thunder here, because this video is absolutely nuts.

• Woman, by her behavior and demeanour, is LITERALLY r-slurred

• Blamed a lot of her spending on ADHD, unmedicated at time of video

• Makes $25k a year at Tesla

• 25% or her money goes to 401k match and Tesla stock buys (to her credit she is actually trying to somewhat pay for retirement and her children's future through this.)

• 3 kids at 24, all with same dude, one kid is 2 and other is a set of twins.

• Got $10k in child tax credits, used $4k to pay some debt to baby daddy's mom and blew the rest on a vacation to Dallas and a Post Malone concert. Why? "I never get to do anything and it was fun." !foidmoment

• $1600 spent at Target.

• Second children were "planned" even though they were/are in debt and live with baby daddy's parents. Used to live with her parents until they divorced and Dad kicked them out.

• Tons of shit in collections.

• Didn't work for awhile after twins.

• Baby daddy "hurt his hand" and hasn't been working, just started a job at Papa John's and makes $380 a week.

• Dude has spent hundreds of dollars on vapes, PSN purchases, and onlyfans during his time off . !moidmoment

• Buys tons of snacks at work vending machines.

• Has a scion, underwater on it of course, hasn't been using it for the past seven months because the key fob got run over .

• Instead of getting that replaced, she went and got a Mazda CX9 with an insane payment of $600+ a month for 72 months. Reasoning being she need more room for the kids and their car seats.

• Caleb tries to talk some sense into her, says she could have gotten a 3 kid car seat setup instead of that. Caleb even offers to buy her one near the end.

• Near the end of the video, she lets it slip that CarMax has a 30 day return policy. Caleb is, of course, overjoyed, tells her to return it immediately, and doesn't take that debt into account for her budget.

- A video edited in shows that she did not, in fact, return the car, supposedly because everyone around "forced her not to."

• Caleb says he will give her $250 to get the Scion checked out, has to explain to her she needs to get it towed or get a locksmith to make her a key to get it to the mechanic to get it looked at.

• Caleb's budget for her leaves her with $12 in the bank at the end of the month.

I went over to the Caleb Hammer subreddit to check out what they were saying about her, and she shows up in the comments:

Hey guys, this is me! Thank you for all the tough love comments. I honestly think they'll help. I just wanted to address some of the more common things people are pointing out/getting wrong. 1) The whole car situation didn't just happen because the key broke. I did need a bigger vehicle since all 3 car seats wouldn't fit into my scion. Could I have gotten a cheaper car? Yes. 2) I looked dead inside because that's how I feel most days 😂 I wake up at 3 am every morning M-F to get ready for work, get home at about 4 pm and then stay up until 10-11 pm looking after my kids. 3 under 3 is tough, especially with the hours that I have. 3) $6000 was spent but it wasn't entirely on the trip. A lot of the spending I did at target was stuff for my kids, granted that it wasn't stuff they necessarily needed. The only thing I really did for myself was going to the concert. I took the kids to the aquarium, got an air bnb with a pool so they could swim, took them to a Mickey Mouse event (it's my 2 yr olds favorite character) 4) I know I seriously need some discipline. I wasn't trying to use the adhd as an excuse, I just wanted to highlight why it was so difficult for me to control my impulses. I have set up an appointment to be seen by a professional so I can get the help I need. 5) I know I'm a mouth breather 😭 it's very hard for me to feel like I'm getting enough oxygen by breathing only through my nose. I've just always been that way. I tried getting braces but they said my overbite can only be fixed via surgery and I didn't want that. 6) I'm not on food stamps, wic, Medicaid, etc…my 2 youngest kids are on Medicaid but my oldest is on my health insurance I get at work. I'm not using any government programs

And I just want to end this by saying I extremely care about my kids. I may not be the most financially responsible and that is something I'm trying to work on. My son is speech delayed and has been put into speech therapy. He's being seen by the school district for special education services and I'm very much involved in everything going on with him. I'm the one that schedules all doctor appointments for my kids, I'm the one that plans the meals, plans their activities… I'm the default parent. I just wanted a little break from reality but I now realize I went overboard and I honest to god do regret taking the trip. Only thing I can do now is get that second job and just hustle until I clear my debt.

A further perusal of her history shows her boyfriend and her fight a lot, she wanted to leave him, he cheated on her, the usual.

So how's it feel folks? While you were probably doing the right/white thing, Idiocracy was happening right under your nose. At least we'll have at least one new friend here for the 20th birthgay

like titles says i got bit by a strange bug today

looked like a fly but it made me bleed??? not a whole lot but more than any sort of mosquito or really any bug bite ive ever had

!friendsofbugs what bug was it??? am i gonna die?????

• The post title was noticeably different than the article it linked

• The article itself was misleading as Florida had a net 250k population gain in 2022 (which is stated in the article).

The drop in rent comes at a time when the state is seeing some of its residents move out, even as it is still experiencing a net increase of people moving there. About 500,000 people left the state in 2022 while nearly 750,000 moved in, according to data from the Florida Chamber of Commerce. For 2024, they are forecasting between 225,000-275,000 new residents to move into the state.

It's so tiresome.

Will always remember him trying to fight my friend who was heckling him on the bus to a bar event. So many funny stories about him from the pike guys

Oh yeah. Dude was just the laughing stock of the school and had no idea

I had a class with him once, he literally emailed the whole listserv the week before finals asking if anyone could give him all their notes from the quarter

Lmao he actually sounds like a cool dude

If you think that story sounds cool, you probably need to grow up a bit

If you don't think that story sounds cool or funny, you probably need to lighten up a bit and take yourself less seriously. I know you're a Redditor, but still.

Please explain what's cool about it

What's cool about having to beg strangers for help? Because you were too lazy to bother to do your own work?

Does that not seem a little pathetic to you?

It fits his whole shtick that he went to college for having fun and never leaned a single thing. Idk man seems kinda cool to me.

Then you have an extremely juvenile view of what is "cool"

Imagine priding yourself on having a golden opportunity to actually learn about the world...pretty much any topic you're interested in. Maybe grow as a person. And still have plenty of time for partying in the process!

But instead you just "never learn a single thing".

That's not cool, it's pathetic.

You sound insufferable tbh

And you sound like a child.

He was nothing but a rich dude cruising by on his privilege

And, again, when you're at the point where you have to beg people for help with your classes so you don't flunk out because you're too lazy to do the bare minimum...yeah, that's just embarrassing

!fellas

@jesus

Thanks to Caitlin Clark, ESPN has been shoving the WNBA down my throat and all I have to say is I've never seen so many air balls in "professional" basketball. I don't think I've laughed this hard in ages, this might be a promising angle for women's sports.

My personal experience with Boomers is theyre always doing something pointless around the house. When I have nothing to do and have time off, i just chill and relax and unwind. My parents and step parents are always fixing something, buying something, rearranging something, cleaning something, inventing something new in the house. And its fine if thats what makes you happy, but the problem is it clearly doesent make them happy. Everytime my family is working around the house they are angry and complaining. My stepdad out of nowhere thought of creating this whole project and then was getting mad at all the work he had to do. Like what? You didnt have to do this lol. Just pay someone if it makes you angry. Also im trying to sleep because I need sleep to be productive at work. But no lets start banging this pipe or drilling into the wall at 6am. When i save enough to move out I will never own a house and I will enjoy my silence, i cant wait.

Couple of questions:

• how old is OP to still be living with boomer parents? The youngest boomer is 64 years old.

• why doesn't OP try to connect with their family through these projects? Oh yeah they are a redditor. They are probably useless.
