"It is difficult to ride two valebeasts 



Host body construction commences.

When my sentence is up I'm going to copy all this shite from here back to facepool. Just because I want to annoy them. 

Fuck You Facepool 

(it cannot be said too often)

Facebook Jail, Day 3 

I think the thing I miss about facepool is liking other's posts. I make posts just to get random things out of my head without needing to actually say them to someone.

"I was promised an adventure. ... Someone lied.

[character chatter, Fallout Shelter]

"Dave can get you $500 of your "future money" instantly."

That's called a loan. And, generally speaking, those sorts of loans have usurious interest rates. Let's go see what they are on the dave.com website. 

Well it doesn't tell us up front but every time they mention the $500 it has a superscript symbol (1) next to it. 

The ExtraCash™ account is a part of Dave’s pilot program and is open to new members only subject to availability. ExtraCash™ is a DDA account with overdraft utility that is subject to eligibility requirements. Taking an ExtraCash™ advance will make your account balance negative. Express delivery fees apply to instant transfers. See the Extra Cash Account Agreement for more details. 

A DDA account is basically a checking account. No advance notice is necessary to withdraw funds. 

They claim to have no overdraft fees and no minimum balance. Characteristics that bank accounts often have which restriction when and how you can use your money. 

It was founded by three guys who were fed up with banks, their terrible service and their high fees. 

I actually started this post being snarky about another dumb commercial I had seen too often while watching Paramount+ but it looks like Dave may actually be a good deal instead of a bank (which I actually hate, I have my money in a credit union nowadays).

He built a model of the crime scene out of mashed potatoes, broccoli and corn cobs ...

It seems ... unwise to hate a stellar phenomenon. Even if it has done you great harm. 

(watching Star Trek Discovery season 4)

I don't *care* what's new this month (on Paramount+) because you keep showing me your "reality" tv shite. 

Fuck off.

You're only saving grace is the trek shows you have. Otherwise I'd be out of here.

Facepool Jail, Day 2

It seems like if you have hate speech that is nazi, republican, or conservative you can post freely to Facepool but if you try to make jokes then you're up for critical examination and you're going to Facebook Jail!!! 

God forbid you post  a joke about cheese knives or bricks.

Next time they ask me about features they should add I'm going to suggest they put an automatic message that shows up when you're in facepool jail. Perhaps put bars over your icon and a warning message complete with alarm klaxon. 

"ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! 

This user is not fascist enough to meet Facebook Standards!"

Facebook Jail, Day 1

Well I'm in facepool jail again. A comment which (iirc) talked about hitting fascists with bricks (for a reason I forget) was flagged (rather than hate speech by nazis and republicans) and I was restricted. 

2nd or 3rd time this has happened and for the same reason, a joke about violence. I guess I should just *imply* the violence rather than say it.
