every day a different streaming service I originally agreed to pay $14 for takes upwards of $20 out of my bank account. someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my family is dying

I think some of the people who watch and subsequently post about the Pitt would perhaps feel more fulfilled watching Lost or something that actually warrants the level of scrutiny they are currently applying to a fairly standard medical drama

in case anyone was wondering I am precisely obnoxious enough to complain about the quality of Australian tomatoes vs Greek ones every time I encounter an uncooked tomato in Australia

Is there anywhere on this earth I can go where I won't be subjected to days of discourse about every action taken by Chappell Roan. I am willing to relocate if such a place exists

most of the internet is completely unbearable now because people are so addicted to feeling outraged that they turn the most inconsequential things into moral issues that they can then feel self-righteous about being on the right side of and irate at everyone else

just had the most confusing phone call with hsbc in which the customer service woman informed me that if I didn't fill out the form they'd sent me in order to close my account, they would be forced to close my account. which is what I want them to do. so why would I bother filling out the form.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.”

A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees.

The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.
