  1. the credit card balance statistic isn't what most people seem to think it is. it's the statement balance, rather than a carried balance. they actually can't tell how much is carried balance. i'm not sure how seasonally adjusted that data is when you can literally see the seasonality in the sawtooth of the graph. https://www.newyorkfed.org/medialibrary/media/research/staff_reports/sr479_faq.pdf so it includes @Skipper's tickets unless he pays his card off before the statement. another chunk is subject of the thread. this data isn't adjusted for inflation. delinquency rates are more interesting. not trending in the right direction but still below where we were prior to great recession: as a percent of balance in serious delinquency the national average is about as low as its ever been i thought this was kinda interesting. debt collection by third parties has basically died to some extent some of this is that we were at historic lows for delinquencies as so pretty much nowhere to go but up.
  2. did you not already start a thread on said lip licking asshole wearing lifts because he deserved his own thread?
  3. those people should be hauled in for questioning. that's scrolling down. because your view is now further down the document.
  4. west bound and down, loaded up and truckin' we gonna do what kenny says can't be done we've got a long way to go and a short time to get there i'm west bound just watch ol' ygifs run
  5. "The consumer price index, a closely watched inflation gauge, increased 0.1% in November, and was up 3.1% from a year ago, the Labor Department reported Tuesday. " https://www.cnbc.com/2023/12/12/cpi-inflation-report-november-2023.html the index is at 307.051. 6 months ago it was 304.127. that's an increase of just less than 1% over six months so ~2% annualized. may-june was nearly a whole index point so over the last 5 months the increase is miniscule, just 0.64%, or a bit over 1.5% annualized.
  6. There's a substantial intervening event which happened in 1968 that I think bears some consideration.
  7. to follow up, "good faith" is the standard for post viability abortions in california (although their statute is kinda backward, it's good faith that the fetus is viable and good faith that the was no risk to health of a pregnant person).* christofascists think this sort of standard allows doctors to "86" healthy pregnancies 8 and a half months in. they obviously think doctors are horrible people who need to be reigned in by the threat of violence from the state.
  8. no, that's not idiocy and malpractice. the problem with a "reasonable" standard is that kenny P can get some MAGA doctor to testify that in his expert opinion it was not reasonable and then you have a fucking jury question deciding whether a doctor goes to jail and loses their license. that's why the petition over and over again uses "good faith" because that's a much more difficult standard to overcome if you can get the standard established.
  9. Since this is the threat talking about epic doing its own store, it's probably the thread for the news that Epic won its antitrust case against Google, after losing the same case against Apple. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2023/12/googles-android-app-store-monopoly-violates-antitrust-law-jury-finds/
  10. which dumbass thought putting a hard right turn combined with an exiting lane immediately after a hugenormous bridge was a good idea? then add another 2 lanes of traffic and another exiting lane fuck, george's in baton rouge closed
  11. 10 million followers on tiktok, so, yes, as @Nope said https://www.tiktok.com/@gabimfmoura
  12. when you switch on SNF on the peacock app, if the game has already started there's a bar across the bottom which asks if you'd like to see the highlight reel.
  13. saw a cybertruck in the wild yesterday turning onto saint st from west alabama. saw one of the new hummers being towed by an F350 down allen parkway today.
  14. Don't know how you manage to miss the space in a car that small
  15. good faith is subjective. reasonable is objective. as you well know, one of those is much more readily second guessed than the other.
  16. i have other stuff to do this afternoon anyway. make some eggnog and some bread pudding.
