What would happen if everyone moved there money from traditional private banks to credit unions/ coop banks
  • CUs will issue anything that can help their maintain the required returns on the owners of shares (read: you). They can issue loans, but because they are not issuing on speculation but on a clear expectation of a return to the owners of the shares (read: you) they cannot loan as much. Your shares and their returns are the dollars in your account.

    These have to be guaranteed by someone, either the NCUA or another CU or bank. In fact, you can go to a Credit Union that doesn't insure via the NCUA. I wouldn't recommend it.

  • Boeing sales tumble as the company gets no orders for the 737 Max for the second straight month
  • The 737 Max is a garbage product they crashed and burned with their MCAS woes. They should give up the iconic product line and go all in on selling the safer 777 as its replacement. Yes, its built for a greater range, but the 777 hasn't been fucked with in terms of fail-deadly systems yet, and its the safest plane Boeing has in its fleet.

    Boeing's customers are already out-ordering other models over the 737 Max, the decision is being made for them!

    If they do nothing, Airbus will get enough orders to expand its factories and blow through its backlog.

    Tesla recalls all 3,878 Cybertrucks over faulty accelerator pedal

    So the failing part in question is a cover on the pedal, which is just the worst, god awful, below dollar store quality design and I'm shocked there wasn't any adhesive or better yet, thought on how to have the part fail gracefully or remain stationary w/o adhesive. This is shockingly bad construction.

    How do I start same-sex dating and romance?

    I've been fighting off writing this for a while now. I even considered making a throwaway for it, but I guess if its too embarrassing I can delete it.

    I've sorta come to accept I'm bi in recent years, and I am wondering how I should go about dating and courtship in regards to dating within my same sex (male). Especially since I find femininity to be a key attraction point. I also haven't dated or had sex in like, three years or more. Its been a while, I kinda stopped caring for myself and focused on work, I am slowly trying to become an interesting person again, get back in shape but its hard. I dunno, man. I'm in my mid-30s and I am trying to figure out what I want out of the world. There's a bit of lust involved. And I definitely need a hug at the very least.

    Furthermore, I live in the Southern part of the US, and the amount of trans hate has me actively wanting out of here (I'm aiming for Colorado) and dating in this part of the Southeast is already difficult as is, in my prior experiences.

    How does one navigate this kind of world after coming out? How do I deal with the stigma especially since in the states, there's a renewed interest in putting people back in the closet?

    I wanna try out vtubing

    Not sure if this is the right place, I didn't see a 7CupsOfTea on lemmy. If this is out of scope, let me know and i'll move/delete it.

    For a while i've been doing game development and I have been thinking to both better develop my skillsets and engage with the community, streaming my development on YouTube or Twitch. The problem is, I am not really photogenic (i'm out of shape and working on it) and I don't think people would be interested following just another development streamer.

    Also, I want a female avatar, which makes little sense as someone who identifies as a man (bi at that), which has me really self-conscious and worrying i'll be accused of sexism or egg. I've seen males using female models and don't care anyways. I'd also have to pay for a model or make one in VRoid, and i'm all so green to it. Not that I don't mind!

    So, I dunno. I wish there were some tips for this to help me figure out if this is worth doing.
