Also if you repay your loan early is somehow bad for your credit score.
If you change your bank to go to a cheaper one alters your score (creating sticky monopolies).
makes prefect sense
To scam citizens out of yields while minimising the chance of nonperforming loans?
The rest of the world puts citizens first.
The banks are the professionals with all the data & capital. They get to multiplicate money (give loans without backing) and get to charge relatively big interests on those loans (interes rates (spreads over risk-free) tnot indicative of/to cover the expenses of defaults, which are very rare overall, or their own operating costs).
The money multiplication thing comes from the state (central bank), and it exists to allow people to live & to perpetually stimulate the economy (eg getting a house earlier than saving up the lump sum to buy it whole). The banks job is to balance things out & offer competitive loans in terms of profits vs probability of defaults. Without that it’s just free money for the banks. Like insurance business only selling policies to people/entities that won’t ever need them.
So your credit worthiness is equal to the amount of money (3% fee of each purchase?) you make for the bank that would otherwise go to the seller (or stay in your bank account if it’s charged to the customer & not the store, but that is afaik rare, maybe not existent anymore).
So free monies you make for the bank = some potential loan possibility in the future.
Scammy af. But this exists all over the world (packaged as cashbacks that you regularly receive, eg 0.5% of everything you spend, not affecting your loans).
So if you have taken more loans in the past & repaid a lot of credit card debt you get a cheaper loan/can afford a bigger loan.
It’s what we call predatory tactics & are usually banned.
You are not gonna believe where the majority of the wealth of the majority of USA residents comes from.
Also can’t look at credit score system without loan system (they are linked by default) - and loan-worthiness cames from not only paychecks, but also where (which street/neighborhood) you currently live, you job history, criminal convictions, etc.
It does what the West says the Chinese social credit system is doing tho the later isn’t that consequential & focuses on convictions.
And rich people (millionaires aren’t rich anymore, just the last thrashes of a middle class) don’t need a credit score at all, they all take out business loans, not personal loans.
The credit score system wasn’t invented to oppress the rich.
Isn’t that what credit score already is?
Just expand that, maybe with generative AI since the accuracy doesn’t matter.

I’d argue both DMC and Castlevania has more depth than Duke.
Def! I said that specifically.
Of the two especially Castlevania offers much more depth & independence to it’s characters.
Duke 1 & 2 didn’t even leave that much character impression on me as the 3(D) did (ok, nether did Keen tbh).
Duke Nukem series will def be it’s own thing (like DMCs & Castlevanias), taking characters & the base premise & do its own thing. Same universe but unrelated to the games. Like comic books - the number of different ways Bruce’s parents get deaded is absurd :D (one time even due to Teen Titans actions).
Yeah, lol, didn’t know how to phrase that - down the throat would def be if he shat in the throat part of the body, but with the head you could say both (‘up’ in regards to the usual way things go down the throat but ‘down’ in regards to gravity).
I guess “down” would be the better choice, my bad.
edit: … my brainhole fucked up, he shits down the throat of the body. Why do I remember him sitting on the decapitated head? Was that in Fornever Forever?
Yes, but it’s a very good character & world/lore to build a story + the games themselves have a ton of situationally epic things in them to include or even build around them.
(If Duke doesn’t shit up the throat of a decapitated alien we riot.)
And tho there is more lore, it’s not like Castlevania and DMC are directly screen-playable, but they did a fairly good job (there are better showrunners in the genre, but I think Duky Nuky fits the chill & just barely enough complicated/just over the border of simplistic vibe of DMC show, and I’m sure won’t skip on epic cool shit, maybe even a decent joke or two … I dread the inevitably cringe oneliners).
The drones would be gold painted & wearing maga hats?
Penis Ha & Maya Hi are a lovely couple.
Still there are too many people, in the army too, so leaders can’t just do anything without planning.
Just as a random btw:
wiki/The_Lone_Gunmen_(TV_series)
In the pilot episode, which aired March 4, 2001 (exactly six months and one week prior to the September 11 attacks[5]), rogue members of the U.S. government remotely hijack an airliner flying to Boston, planning to crash it into the World Trade Center, and let anti-American terrorist groups take credit, to gain support for a profitable new war following the Cold War. The heroes ultimately override the controls, foiling the plot.
Tom Clancy also wrote about hijacking a Boeing & flying it into Congress.
In previous such cases they advertised the scenarios via news & movies/TV shows in advance.
Anything on the radar now?
What are official sources showcasing as an easy target nowdays?
Trains/railroad attack?
Air traffic control attack?
Congress attack so they can just disband it?
Attack on protesters?
It’s always in twos - one seems murdered, the other seems killed.
Someone needs so secure, contain, and protect this river.
(I didn’t mean Reddit, just overall people/the world. Tho not disagreeing directly, but the way you described the average Redditor might end up in their page/ads & marketing/shareholder meetings. Also not sure if any of the 5 points correlates highly with iq. Again, not disagreeing, & the last bit of your comment makes it perfectly clear you arent relating that to any sort of quality.)
The decoration works!
