EBAY Prices
  • eBay is usually the cheapest IMO

    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

  • Welcome to the ‘nepo’ housing market: 40% of homebuyers under 30 get family money to cover their down payment
  • 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.

  • How credit cards work, and how to use them properly
  • 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.

  • I would appreciate a diagnosis or classification of autism that isn't described as a disorder
  • 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.

  • How credit cards work, and how to use them properly
  • 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

  • I would appreciate a diagnosis or classification of autism that isn't described as a disorder
  • 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 appreciate a diagnosis or classification of autism that isn't described as a disorder
  • 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.

  • What are you boycotting right now and why? Are there any Boycotts you've ended?
  • 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.

  • What nuggets can I get today that are closest to the old burger king chicken nuggets?

    Remember those peppery nuggets back in the late 90s-early 00s that they had at burger king? Those were the bomb. Often I crave them and weep because they are no more. The new burger king nuggets are tasteless trash. I need a dupe please

    Got asked current salary, when I'm in CA and that is no longer legal. How can I report?

    Exactly what the title says. I was asked my current base salary, not what I'm looking for. And when I refused they tried to pressure me into answering. I don't want them doing this to other people who don't know it's illegal.

    I did try googling but didn't see any answers aside from "sue them". Shouldn't there be a way to report it to the labor board or something?
