- Comment on credit bureaus are fucking nonsense 1 week ago:
I just gave up
at some point, I realized I don’t ever want to be their idea of a perfect person to loan money to (read: perfect person to drown in debt and make as much money as possible from), and I wear that “unworthiness” as a badge of honor

only there to disadvantage poor people
it’s awesome how much money I’m paying various apartment management contractors to pull exactly the same data from exactly the same government agencies and credit bureaus. sometimes multiple apartments use the same application/screening contractor, but they wont re-use the data they pulled without charging me again - it’s not even a week old! some of these are public records they’re pulling! and I already have a current copy of my credit report I could provide them! they tried to legislate a ‘comprehensive reusable tenant screening report’ here (washington state USA), but it’s not mandatory to accept it 🤦the whole thing is scam after scam, double- and triple- dipping
how much do you want to bet some people own apt management companies AND application/screening companies? if my finances were tight, applying for multiple places would be out of the question

FYI they sell one that can be reprogrammed. It’s still USB PD, but that covers most use cases.
They also sell a kit of compatable barrel jack plug adapters of many shapes and sizes.

- Comment on I'm not telling what I was searching for and it doesn't matter. But what the hell kind of result is this? I used the operators so I could limit the results. 2 months ago:
I started paying for kagi after ddg and qwant and the rest just gave up on searching for what I asked it to search for. “Oh, you searched for more than one word? Well what if I just throw one of them completely away in the name of being able to show you some ads- I mean results”
