I don't even know where to start with this one—it’s just... yeah. I guess I'm just going to say it. Honestly, everything about this situation feels completely off. It’s like, you think you have a handle on things, right? You think you know how the world works, and then—bam—everything just hits the fan all at once. I mean, maybe I'm being too dramatic, but it really feels like we're just spinning our wheels here. It's frustrating, I guess. Just a total mess. kaže: So, I finally did it—graduated college. Honestly, I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that it actually happened, you know? It feels like just yesterday I was staring at a syllabus thinking there was no way I’d make it through, and now... well, here we are. I guess the whole thing is done. It’s weird, though—you spend all these years grinding away, fueled by nothing but caffeine and questionable life choices, and then suddenly the finish line appears and you're just standing there wondering what comes next. Maybe I'll celebrate, maybe I'll just sleep for a week straight. Probably both.

I don't even know where to start with this one—honestly, I kind of just want to vent because everything feels like such a mess lately. It’s like... I don't know, maybe I'm just overthinking things, but it feels like every single thing that could go sideways actually does. Just one thing after another, you know? I guess I should probably just take a breath or something, but it’s hard when it feels like the whole world is just pushing back against you at once. It's exhausting, really. Just... yeah. Total chaos. kaže: I mean, obviously I’m gonna take the place—and whatever else they're throwing in—I'm not exactly crazy, you know?

I mean, obviously—what kind of parasite is actually gonna just walk away from a free ride? That doesn't even make sense. It’s way better to just keep clinging to the host... I guess.

Scott Roberts3 said:Is that one by Susan Forward? I read her stuff in English, and man, it’s a great book.

I saw so much of myself in those pages... what really helped was finally realizing the issue wasn't me. It was them. They were my parents; they were supposed to be my protectors, not the ones making my life miserable.

And regarding the whole forgiveness thing, if I remember correctly, she wrote about how you don't actually *have* to forgive to feel better... like, just forgiving someone doesn't magically fix everything.

As for me, I don't think I'll ever forgive them. They messed up big time, and that's that.🙂

Oh, come on... you're being way too generous by letting them at least provide you with a roof and food. Honestly? If I were dealing with people that toxic, I wouldn't stay under the same roof for even a single day...

goldenranger6 said:Honestly, everyone should just move their accounts over to Bank of America... maybe then we’d actually see some real change happening for once...

driftingcrane83 said:Well, that's great news! I can pull cash from any branch, and I'm at the bank quite often for business. Bank of America wins.

Aha 😬

The most useless bank I’ve ever had the misfortune of dealing with... honestly, just a total joke.

voditeljica1 — honestly, good call on keeping quiet about how you can just grab cash on the street out there. If people realized that, banks would be pretty much obsolete, I guess. 👋

placidmaker6 said:Where exactly?

Working some off-the-books construction gigs—getting paid cash on the spot every day. 😬...

Alexander Thompson said:I don't know, I get this weird feeling that the people making the most noise over a few simple questions are usually the ones who've already been through a full-blown security screening at the airport just to get their credit approved 😬 div>

And, I guess, if I can add one more thing... it's usually the crowd that can't even handle a little bit of seasoning 😬

Robert Gomez2 said:Wait, I'm a bit confused by your wording—are you saying you're offering a loan, or are you the one looking to borrow money?

Robert Gomez2 said:Seriously, where is the response?

My bad, really—huge apologies for not getting back to your question within twenty minutes.😬

Which part of 'What's your offer?' was too complicated for you to wrap your head around?

Robert Gomez2 said:I really can't wrap my mind around why everyone feels the need to chime in with these incredibly "brilliant" pieces of advice—you know, the whole "why did you do this?" or "don't do that" routine. Look, if someone actually reaches out to ask for help, then either help them if you're able, or just move on; please don't sit there trying to lecture me on what I should or shouldn't have done. The fact that I might have sent an inquiry three times doesn't change anything; it just means I am struggling to find a solution to my problem, period.
LOOK, IF ANYONE HAPPENS TO KNOW SOMEONE HONEST WHO WOULD BE WILLING TO LEND SOME MONEY FOR A LONGER TERM—I'M THINKING LONGER THAN A YEAR—I WOULD TRULY APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD SEND ME AN EMAIL OR SOMETHING. THANK YOU.

Look, I'm a decent enough guy, and I'd probably consider a longer-term loan... but, uh, what kind of rate are we talking about here?

rowdypilot19 said:I mean, I’m telling you, they keep coming to me with these questions. Honestly, I haven't the slightest clue how much longer this is going to drag on like this.

Until you can get an annual interest rate under $100😉

rowdypilot19 said:Man, I didn't even read what you Quincy'd, my bad... seriously. Nobody's asking about the USA or Canada right now. Not yet, anyway.

Exactly. ☕

rowdypilot19 said:Well, I didn't exactly graduate from a fancy Public School myself... and honestly, I've definitely made my fair share of mistakes along the way. 🍿

Plus, you don't even have a decent memory... which, I guess, is kind of the whole sine qua non for being a successful liar.

rowdypilot19 said:But wait, how is it even possible that foreign banks aren't asking any questions? 😁

Alexander Thompson said:Well, I guess that's just how things work in Little Italy.

rowdypilot19 said:So, we’re talking about American banks, right? I mean, I’m specifically thinking about Bank of America, just to be precise.

U It looks like you might have hit send too early there! I'm ready whenever you are—just drop the text you need me to work on.I mean, if you ask me—and I guess people always want my take—there’s this massive gap in what they’re actually teaching kids in our public schools. It's like... you look at the curriculum and realize there's just this huge void where real-world knowledge should be. Maybe it's just how things are now, but it feels like we're consistently falling short of what students actually need to know. Just an observation, I suppose.

rowdypilot19 said:But wait, how is it even possible that foreign banks aren't asking any questions? 😁

Well, I guess that's just how things work in Little Italy.

rowdypilot19 said:I mean, I really wish they’d just send that over in writing, you know? Just so I could respond by sending them my hourly rate or whatever. 🍿

I really can't be bothered digging through the official regulations (you know, the ones backed by actual law), but things are gonna stay this way for another year... After that, well, kiss the account goodbye, and you can go ahead and keep using unspecified... or maybe just trade goods, whatever works for you. 🙂

BTW, I'm genuinely curious what kind of hourly rate someone like rowdypilot19 is pulling 😬

The whole thing about the dollar is just such a mess—honestly, it’s pretty much illegible at this point. It doesn't help that people like xstrom and those other flooders and copy-paste bots are constantly clogging everything up. And then, I guess, there's the fact that they just tolerate all that spamming and the way they go after anyone who doesn't jump on board with their specific take...

Robert Gomez2 said:So, are you personally handing out loans? Because I could really use some $6.75. And frankly, what you're saying about contracts being invalid isn't quite right; an executed contract or a promissory note filed with a local agency carries real weight. If they actually pay up or settle, once you get a judgment, they can garnish wages or seize assets, which effectively freezes their accounts until you finally get your money.

Still, maybe try calling those numbers another ten or fifteen times... who knows, maybe they'll finally approve your credit application. If that fails, you might have better luck finding some sucker willing to swap cold hard cash for nothing but a pinky swear and a signed paper...

Or, since you clearly know the ropes here, why don't you start lending money to people who promise to pay you back based on nothing but their word? They'll offer huge interest rates just to get the cash, so the profit margins could be pretty massive... You could even do something like $33, where you get 120 back in just a month... That's where the real money is made, I guess...

I caught a glimpse of that Zabin questionnaire, and honestly, what a total mess... It’s an English-language form that users are expected to fill out and sign 😵... Back home in the States 😵, I keep my accounts at other banks, and they’ve never sent me anything remotely like this 🤔

Isn't this just more of Zabin's usual nonsense—kind of like that whole headache when they were making everyone open special foreign currency accounts just to receive wire transfers from abroad?

Michael Morgan5 said:Haha 🤣

It's on Golden Gate, Neno1966, or Alexander Thompson.
They both satisfy A & B 😉

Wait, did you actually double-check with all three of them? I don't really recall you mentioning that... 🤔

Bandera, honestly, I’m not even sure what topics are off-limits here anymore... This isn't some troll thread, it's just me trying to give everyone in this group a chance to actually talk things out and back each other up—because apparently, on the current thread, if you don't agree 100% with their specific worldview, you're the enemy. After those kinds of comments roll in, you end up scrolling through two pages of nothing but people foaming at the mouth and hurling insults, which makes it impossible to actually follow any interesting or, you know, helpful discussion.

Look, even if we assume this *is* a troll thread, does that mean the insults I was getting thrown at me are considered "normal"? And am I allowed to use that same... let's call it a "unique stylistic approach"... toward people who post stuff I disagree with, especially when a moderator just swoops in and deletes it anyway without a second thought?
