If you pay your credit card on time and never have to deal with interest or late fees, your credit card company will start offering you cards with much higher limits, sometimes as much as 10x your current limit. You gotta remember that even if that's fine for a lot of people, those offers are specifically designed to be traps, not rewards. Credit card companies do not like "deadbeats", people who pay off their card in full and on time, because they make the vast majority of their money off of interest and fees. They want to increase your limit so that you get careless and spend more than you can actually afford.
It is extremely easy to fall into credit card debt, especially if you get comfortable. Getting a higher limit can help improve your credit score but going into debt because of that limit will tank it anyway, so just be careful.
Hello to everyone who saw this post and decided that to pay their credit card bill. Happy Pay Your Credit Card Bill Day.
this site is actually insane and so amazing for anyone who reads historical cnovels and wants to understand historical context
you can find things like:
* this map of chang'an when it was the capital of the tang dynasty
or
* this reference on the various measurements and units, their conversions to more widely known western units, and their regional/dynastic variations
or
* this list of sayings related to marriage
etc etc etc
obviously bigotry isnt rational but "women are naturally worse at spatial reasoning and math" is a wild opinion to have when women have historically been the primary textile producers in a lot of societies. have you ever seen a tablet weaving pattern
women also used to do the family taxes
and women are currently more academicaly successful then men (at least in my country)
and now that women are more academically successful, society has entered into a new era of anti-intellectualism. it's not coincidental
it cannot be stressed enough nor pointed out too often that the way this works and always has worked is that whatever women are doing is bad. when what women are doing changes, then what is bad changes so that what women are doing is always what's bad. what jobs are for women and therefore are bad have changed in the past and will change in the future. the only constant is that women are bad and what women do is bad and they will make up brand new explanations for it every time but it is always simply that women are bad.
when people think that having sex is a distraction from godliness, then women love sex because they're bad. when people think that sex is a natural and healthy part of human life, then women hate sex because they're bad. when women are known for doing math, then math is bad and the true intellectual pursuit is reading. when women are known for reading, then reading is bad and the true test of intellectual rigor is doing math. when being a chef is a good thing it's a job for men. when cooking is women's work it's bad.
nothing iv'e said is hypothetical or A Theory, im literally describing actual historical perceptions and actual changes therein

Thank you for the heads-up in this instance, anon. I would ask that you please don’t hide behind an anonymous to tell me something like this next time. I’ve had way too many folks in my inbox try to pull me into transmysogynistic campaigns that way, and their asks have been getting summarily blocked/deleted.
I Am a Bride
A short comic inspired by Finnish werewolf folklore in which it is many times the wedding couple and/or the entire wedding party that is bewitched to turn into wolves by a resentful guest or family member.
Especially with summers getting hotter and dryer in a lot of places, solar panels in agricultural fields is a really good idea. Sheltering vegetables from the hottest, driest time of the day will help them grow better. Cows and sheep and such seek out shelter from the sun. I think I recall reading that they found higher biodiversity in pastures that had solar panels because of the shelter they provide.
I'd like to see a very hard push for solar covered parking; people can be massive shitheads about any kind of power generation, but nobody objects to covered parking
