@Someone58162111 @SDSLLC_USA The only exception to that is that, if you have a really high revolving credit usage, one that's detrimental to your score, paying off things can improve your score because it makes you less of a risk. If you have good credit, paying things off hurts

@SDSLLC_USA That's how it works now. You are penalized for paying anything off. My daughter paid off one card because it only had about $300 used on it. She got hit with 40 point drop because of it.

Can someone explain this to me like I'm 5 years old? Last month I paid off a credit card, no high balance at all. Two weeks ago I paid off another credit card, no high balance at all. These are the only two credit cards that I have. Why did my credit score drop dramatically?

@MrsMagdaBeard My dad's 2006 Dodge Ram is worth more now with 50k miles than he bought it for. It's insane.

Nope, I'm with the kids on this one. The prices of used cars right now is absolutely outrageous. Yeah, no one is entitled to a new car, 100%, but anything over 100k miles is going to be an absolute money pit. Not even 10 years ago I got a Mazda 3 with 7K (yes, 7000) miles on it for 15k. I still have it. Same car now would be well over 20k. This affects ALL of us. They want you to lease cars. Eventually, they want you to share cars. You will own nothing and be happy.

@KalanisCalves So, now you have $1.5M in revenue but only $250k in expenses, so the company makes $1.25M. but you have to pay the other 9 PTs. You pay them $100k each, now you have $350k left for you. Very over simplified, but that's why businesses have to get taxed.

@KalanisCalves Let's say the revenue is $150k per PT but you have $50k in expenses for equipment, insurance, rent, etc. which leaves you with a $100k before taxes and probably $70k after. If you start a company and have 10 PTs working for that company, those expenses might only go up 5 times.

This is what our society fails to comprehend. If I work as a physical therapist, and I’m good, I’ll make $100,000/yr. And pay $15,000 in taxes. I can see 60 patients per week. But that’s the end of it. No additional tax money, no more patients can get my services. I provide a living for myself and my family. If I own a practice and employee 10 therapists that each make $100,000, now I’m providing a living for 10 families, and because of my efforts there is now $250,000 in tax revenue. So why should businesses get taxed more? Why should they even have to pay payroll taxes? My value to society is way more than 10X at this point. But the vast majority of Americans can’t comprehend that, neither do our congressional representatives.

@Taurus510W @EgeonuNneo6110 @GregoryAnugo @Jeeveso2 @BLKLiberation84 @SpencerAlthouse That is simply not true.

@Slushie88 @EgeonuNneo6110 @GregoryAnugo @Jeeveso2 @BLKLiberation84 @SpencerAlthouse No corroborating evidence and nothing incriminating.

wow I'm genuinely shocked SNL was allowed to say this during their annual "joke swap" bit on Weekend Update Michael Che reading what Colin Jost wrote for him: "The movie 'Michael' won the box office again this weekend, and since a few members of the Jackson family are actually in the audience tonight I wanted to take a minute to tell everybody what I really think. Michael Jackson did nothing wrong! He was right to molest all those kids! And they were lucky. I would have paid him to do it. And I did! That's right. When I was 10 years old Michael Jackson molested ME, and the only thing it gave me was a fetish for middle-aged white women."

@Taurus510W @EgeonuNneo6110 @GregoryAnugo @Jeeveso2 @BLKLiberation84 @SpencerAlthouse Evidence and good evidence are too different terms. You can't say there was "no evidence". You can say that you believe the evidence is not credible, but that's an opinion, not a fact

@Slushie88 @EgeonuNneo6110 @GregoryAnugo @Jeeveso2 @BLKLiberation84 @SpencerAlthouse No evidence.,Liars, tabloid witnesses and bad time lines means not credible. Michael was innocent.

@Blacklib1978 @Sheena_Marie3 There are plenty of photos documenting other kids doing similar things and, as you said, they didn't get DQ'd. The rules only applying to some is the horrible example

@Sheena_Marie3 More than 100+ kids at that meet celebrating all day long within the rules ... nobody else got a warning or DQ ... implying rules don't apply if you win is horrible example ... should have taken 5 seconds of self discipline to walk off the track and then celebrate

Hi there Rusty! I not only competed - I won 11 NCHSAA state titles (1 in basketball as a Freshman 😊) It is truly a judgment call as the infraction was not judged uniformly through all the state meets. I said what I said; agree to disagree and enjoy your week!

@AaronGogley @EsquireT3 The "warning" came on something that did occur after the race. So no, waiting until after the race wouldn't have gotten him off the hook. He couldn't celebrate at all. If the official says you need to break the rules, do you do what they say or follow the rules?

@EsquireT3 If you do it before the end of the race, it very well could. Learn the rules, follow the officials instructions, and celebrate afterwards. Not hard.

Again. That’s not the only rule. You cannot use any gesture that brings discredit to yourself or the sport and more importantly “Unacceptable conduct by a competitor includes, but is not limited to: willful failure to follow the directions of a meet official•

@EgeonuNneo6110 @GregoryAnugo @Jeeveso2 @BLKLiberation84 @SpencerAlthouse There was loads of evidence against Jackson. No direct physical evidence linking him to the crimes, but lots of testimony and indirect evidence.

@Slushie88 @GregoryAnugo @Jeeveso2 @BLKLiberation84 @SpencerAlthouse Shut up with your OJ SIMPSON Reference. There was evidence that OJ may have committed the crime, the Jury mishandled it. On the other hand there was absolutely no evidence that MJ did it and this is after the Racist DA did everything to manipulate evidence.

@GregoryAnugo @Jeeveso2 @BLKLiberation84 @SpencerAlthouse Those are two different arguments. The evidence is there and is very compelling. It didn't sway the jury, but that doesn't mean they were right

@Slushie88 @Jeeveso2 @BLKLiberation84 @SpencerAlthouse So you are basically agreeing that the evidence was not there and was not strong enough to sway the jury, right

@GregoryAnugo @Jeeveso2 @BLKLiberation84 @SpencerAlthouse Witnesses and, with the lack of physical evidence, testimony was all they had. The case fell apart because of a mother's testimony and subsequent cross examination. Her being a bad witness doesn't mean she was lying, just that the jury didn't believe her.

@GregoryAnugo @Jeeveso2 @BLKLiberation84 @SpencerAlthouse 1. Those agencies took the case to court, meaning they believed there was enough evidence to convict. 2. A "Not Guilty" verdict doesn't mean the person didn't do it. Look at OJ Simpson. 3. Child cases like this are not easy to prosecute. Children are often seen as unreliable

@Tanks4that1 @JudgeBobOrr But you could have avoided this by locking your doors". One, it's not necessarily true. Two, that doesn't make the ruling any less egregiously wrong.

@Tanks4that1 @JudgeBobOrr I guess you didn't read that the first offense came after the race was over. So no, even if he celebrated afterward, that would have been at risk. The rules are clear and he didn't break them. What you are saying is akin to "yeah, that person shouldn't have robbed your house

In the greater scheme of "unsportsmanlike conduct", you'll have to explain what that hand signal meant that resulted in the disqualification.

@SportsTalk_304 @EsquireT3 We've all been in a game where the ref is out to screw your team in particular. That kid could have probably just smiled and been DQ'd. Neither the first or second celebration is a violation by the official rules.

@EsquireT3 I agree, but also as an athlete you've got to know better. In basketball if a ref calls the game close, you know not to push it. Running into bad officiating is just part of being an athlete and something you need to adapt to

Do I think this is soft? Absolutely. But if he was warned and knew this would happen, then it's absolutely justified.

@Tanks4that1 @JudgeBobOrr How many times do you see people across all eras of history, cultures, and sports throw up their hands in celebration moments before winning? How many of them were DQ'd? This is clearly an official overstepping his bounds

@JudgeBobOrr Just win the race then celebrate. Doing anything outside of a normal running movement seems like taunting. Doesn’t seem too disrespectful but if you just win the race then celebrate you don’t have to deal with this.

@TheExtremeMusi1 All awesome, but it's gotta be Smash!

It's 1994, and these albums hit the shelves. Nan only gave you enough money for one. What's your pick???

@iamemmettsmith What happens if Pope continues losing with those guys? It won't get quiet until he wins at the level UK should be winning at

If Kentucky closes the deal on Milan & then gets Ryan Hampton to reclassify/commit all the negative Kentucky fans can STFU. #BBN
