The same vintage "rare" McDonald's T-shirt I wanted was $50+ on Etsy, Mercari, Poshmark, even some eBay sellers. But I got it for $2 from a dude on eBay 🤷♀️
Etsy is way worse at what OP is talking about, but I'm using it for vintage stuff not really electronics. For electronic stuff I use Swappa mostly
Yeah I like having basic human rights. It's a big ask to even ask anyone to stay there, let alone move there. It's literally life and death for women who can't get an abortion.

I can’t even afford taking care of myself but if I have kid, I would adopt instead of “making my own kid”. Why not this is not popular? These kids already came to this shithole (world) and we’re just ignoring them....
Having unprotected sex is free. Average adoption is $20-45k in the US. Yes, childbirth is also very expensive but generally you will be paying much less than $20k if you have insurance.
I think the "the kid you adopt may have problems" is also a common concern, but I don't agree with it. Your own kid can have problems, whether generic or environmental, throughout their life. At least you have an idea of what you are getting into with an adopted kid.
I have received $0 from my parents. My grandma helped me buy some furniture when I moved out to my first apartment, and bless her for that. But I cannot comprehend asking for that much money from my parents, not that they would have it to give me anyway. I feel bad when they want to pay for my dinner, let alone $30k+.
Despite that, I have managed to save more than enough saved for a down payment. But with the market the way it is I have no interest in dropping that much money for a house, especially when our landlord hasn't raised the rent for years and we have a good deal. $30k from your parents is a drop in the bucket when you're looking at a huge ass mortgage payment every month. A house would have to be magical as fuck for the amount they are gonna charge per month with the current prices and rates.
The correct way to use cash advance is to never use it. Seriously they have a totally different (way higher!) APR that accrues from the first day. Read the conditions of your card and calculate how much you'll be paying if you take out $100 for example
Much better to get a personal loan if you are in that situation. The interest will suck but way less than cash advance
Oh, I was thinking about the situation where you need cash quickly because you don't have enough money to cover something. If you can pay it off immediately then that changes the entire conversation.

Using a social perspective to autism, I would appreciate if there were a way to classify someone as autistic without calling it a disorder. Yes, we have difficulties, but from a social perspective, a lot of them come from society being structured to meet the needs of allistics. They get guidance, acceptance, and ultimately...
I don't disagree that neurodivergent people would have a way better time if people/society took them into consideration more. But I am low support needs and still consider it a disorder. My boyfriend has ADHD and agrees. While there are a lot of things that would be fixed by having sensory friendly environments for example, there are still a lot of things about being autistic that hinder me that I wish would go away regardless of what accommodations exist.
I mostly agree, except for the last part about marginalization. The idea you can always overcome whatever disability/disorder/whatever with hard work and the right mindset is not accurate at all. And that's not you wanting to be a victim, it's you advocating for what you need. Accommodations exist for everyone, they just cater to abled/neurotypical people instead. Once I finally admitted to myself I was disabled and stopped trying to live my life like I am 100% able bodied improved my life A LOT.
And disabled/chronically ill/neurodivergent people DO face a lot of discrimination regardless of if you want to admit it or not. We should be fighting for improvement in treatment, acknowledging people treat you like less of a person doesn't mean you actually are less of a person. ESPECIALLY in the current political climate... once LGBT+ people are dehumanized sufficiently disabled people are going to be next.
I would highly recommend you stop speaking for other autistic and ADHD people. If you think accommodations can help you with everything, that's great. I'm not doubting that. But it's ignorant as fuck to assume that your experience is the one true experience and you already know my entire life experience and autistic traits to be able to correct me like that.
Let other autistic and ADHD people speak for themselves. We are more than capable.
I haven't paid attention for a couple years, but the last time they "stopped" they just started donating to a charity they made to cover up that they are still donating to the same places. But they didn't do it directly so it doesn't count.
And the owners themselves are still donating to anti LGBT shit regardless, at least one of them has been funding an organization that has been assisting with putting out all these recent anti LGBT+ bills.
I actually agree with you that the hate is overblown. But in comparison to 1 and 3 it's definitely not as good. I wouldn't even say it's a bad movie, it's just kinda meh
