    You switch them off until you are ready to pay again. I don't know why you silly twats think you can equate that with armed robbery.

    Practical people don't wait until the situation is already dire before putting any thought into these things.

    Sorry, drama queen, but your endless quest for victimhood status is still coming up empty. You are not oppressed.

    Fucker, you don't think ICE beatings are oppression.
    50's you would be going to lynchings, and taking home severed dick souvenirs.

    Depends on the circumstances. Not every use of force is unjustified. That pesky situational nuance getting in the way of your mindless generalizing again.

    50s me could register an RV to a post office box and disappear into the woods.

    Rule 34 says the hot girl ate the magic beans and it won't be pretty. Or it'll be hot, if you're into all the way through.

    If you don't pay your utility bill, you're refusing to pay for something you've already received. It's loosely analogous to filling your tank with gas and then driving off without paying.

    If you don't pay for Netflix, that's more like saying "I'm not going to buy such-and-such a thing this month." You didn't pay for the service, but also they didn't have to provide the service, so you're even.

    I don't. But a credit check is run when my lease is renewed with a new owner.

    Take your gotcha and blow it out your ass, Iggy Pop.

    Every time UA disappears for a couple days, I'm always like "maybe this is finally it!! I finally hit him with a post that made him so sad, he jumped into a tree shredder!! :polarslam2:".
    Then he comes back, and I really get the blues. :sigh:

    He only posts when he’s at work because he doesn’t have internet access at home.

    Sounds like you live in a pretty unstable situation there, if it happens that frequently.

    Also, being compared to Iggy Pop is not the insult you must think it is.

    so to clarify, your credit is non existent.

    I'll take the Iggy, even if my hair is way longer than his ever was and I'm nearly a foot taller than him. You might've gone with one of the Allman bros or Shannon Hoon from Blind Melon. Although I also accept Qui Gon Jinandtonic.

    My debt is nonexistant. Possibly you don't understand the difference.

    Oh, he does. It's in his post.

    Even accepting that was true, there is of course an issue of scale. And I think the best term to describe your situation is "thin ice".

    I believe he was looking for "non-extant"...

    But yeah, you can't have debts if nobody will lend you money/extend you credit.

    And to be honest, I've gone through most of my life without needing a credit card until recently.
    Just try booking a hotel without one-or even applying for an apartment. The one I just signed a lease for required it for the deposit and renter's insurance.
    Having no official debt doesn't cut it in the grown up world any more.

    Why not? Pretty much all the useful discussion happens in the first few pages. We can either flog a dead horse or we can flog a deadbeat.

    yep, no credit history will get you denied just as quick as a bad credit history. it's like a job requirement for a high school diploma it's not so much that you have a diploma but that you demonstrated the ability to commit to something and follow it through.

    with two modicums you could probably get a Visa... But hey, if you enjoy having to leave a cash deposit with the desk clerk and your housing options being limited to rooming houses...

    you take a lot of pride (and make a lot of noise) in coming across as an unambitious underachiever.
