"The FCAC's 2020-21 COVID-19 #Financial Well-being Survey showed that approximately 2 per cent of #Canadians used an online non-bank lender or #PaydayLoan company in the previous 12 months."
Payday loans are crazy #expensive, often close to 60% p.a. (sixty!) if you include the fees. Charging above 60% is #criminal #usury in #Canada. However, loans of up to $1500 are exempt, so the typical payday loan #lender could charge even more.

Got a competitive quote, and the cost was $3,500. Guess who is changing insurance companies?

#Cyberpunk2020: The Bonsai of Death - #TTRPG #WarStories
Speaking of children in virtual amusement parks: This retelling offers more creative #cyberpunk entertainment than anything I've seen from the #Corporate clusterfuck #Cyberpunk2077. For those who can't tell the difference, stay brain-dead in #NightCity and faking #GTA. Does #JohnCarpenter get anything for this cheap "Escape from #PhantomLiberty" #ripoff?

Jones was partly inspired by Quatermain. Those #RichardChamberlain movies merely rode the popularity of Raiders, like every #Superhero #Movie today tries to ride the hot trend.

12 plays for this song on Youtube and I earned less than a penny. 9 plays of this song on Instagram and I earned less than a penny.
It's a good thing I'm not expecting to earn a living through my music because holy hell that is just absolutely crushing to see.

"Nope. Can't buy that" I'm told.
"its only for paid members"
Well that's the last time I'll be going to Canna Cabana
Sorry but I'm not going to pay you for the privilege of being able to pay you for product.

Anyway.
I have the impression that every week someone else milks #DnD. Some will tell you that their #OSR #clone / #ripoff is straight out of Dave's and Gary's tomb and therefore the real #ttrpg stuff! The others never tire of praying the #dnd5e (compatibility) catechism up and down.
Both: Get lost and stop bothering me with your lame sermon(s). "Be brave. Be bold.": Fuck this #d20 shit!
