Grrr indeed

2018-11-10 17:35:36 UTC  

Yeah thank god my dad is an accountant and taught me about fiscal responsibility from an early age

Status symbols for the poor are things like phones, TVs, brand name clothes, and even food. They cant afford a mortgage or reliable vehicles but they can eat like a king at Golden Corral with their new Nikes on and post about it to Instagram from their iPhone.

Poor people in really bad shape financially will do everything they can to dab on other poor people

2018-11-10 17:37:11 UTC  

More like Facebook

2018-11-10 17:37:25 UTC  

Facebook is more of a poor person thing I think

2018-11-10 17:37:31 UTC  

Everyone has had it beat into them that these things are important from the day mom plopped them in front of the TV.

2018-11-10 17:37:33 UTC  

Poor/old/low IQ

2018-11-10 17:37:56 UTC  

That is usually what I associate chronic facebook posters with.

2018-11-10 17:38:53 UTC  

If you're poor and life sucks but an iPhone makes you happy it's a difficult temptation to resist.

2018-11-10 17:41:42 UTC  

His name is Jones Transfer as well.

2018-11-10 17:41:46 UTC  

Yup. And when tax time comes they got a car with some expensive wheels until the repo man comes.

2018-11-10 17:42:23 UTC  

This is reminding me of something I read about how people who win the lottery go broke in a year or so after collecting

2018-11-10 17:42:36 UTC  

Have you seen that video where the repo man comes, and all the people sit on the car so it can't be pulled away?

2018-11-10 17:42:56 UTC  

>people
We know who you mean

2018-11-10 17:42:59 UTC  

Thank you.

2018-11-10 17:43:01 UTC  

Lol yeah I've seen many vids like that.

2018-11-10 17:43:04 UTC

2018-11-10 17:43:12 UTC  
2018-11-10 17:43:21 UTC  

Oh yes, welcome, Josh! Seriously. Congratulations on your pledgitude!

2018-11-10 17:43:37 UTC  

Thank you. Thanks for having me.

2018-11-10 17:43:48 UTC  

Welcome @Josh M. -OH !

2018-11-10 17:44:10 UTC  

I always like asking new people what made them join, care to share @Josh M. -OH

2018-11-10 17:44:22 UTC  

Yes, that catches my curiosity too.

2018-11-10 17:44:28 UTC  

Welcome!

2018-11-10 17:44:29 UTC  
2018-11-10 17:44:54 UTC  

Yes, Alex, I've seen you around a teensy bit longer than Josh, but I extend you the same welcome!

2018-11-10 17:45:02 UTC  

Same!

2018-11-10 17:45:36 UTC  

I’ll be at one week tomorrow.

2018-11-10 17:45:46 UTC  

nice

2018-11-10 17:46:25 UTC  

The pledge program is great. Having the orientation is a good thing that was a long time coming. It's been going on for new entrants for a little over 2 months now.

2018-11-10 17:46:46 UTC  

For a long time I've sat back and watched in horror and disgust as our country and the world slowly turned to crap. I decided to be proactive in changing that. Another member helped pushed me here specifically.

2018-11-10 17:47:04 UTC  

Hell yeah

2018-11-10 17:47:38 UTC  

@Josh M. -OH awesome, have you read <#371705962224025610> ? There are our big picture ideas for how we're going to accomplish that in there.

2018-11-10 17:47:46 UTC  

@Selma Is that a LOTGH reference?

2018-11-10 17:47:49 UTC  

IE is pushing change in a way that I agree with.
