Not familiar with his music but sure love his twitter feed    

I don't know how coined the phrase but it looks like 2020 is the year that woke culture dies. It took a few very brave celebrities to speak up (and oddly enough support from Netflix) but the dam is starting to break. Notice this on twitter.      Perhaps god willing one day your average Joe will be to say, publicly, that sex is binary and not have to worry about visited by the police or getting fired. 

Wouldn't that be a reverse mortgage? Baby Boomers love them!

For an ETF you have to pay a fee, ranging anywhere for .33% to a nose bleed 2.75% depending on the fund.   i believe the break even point on rent is around a 4% yield. Than 100% of your costs are covered by the tenant. Also capital gains are tax free after something like 10 years

The big advantage to being a landlord here is the bulk of the costs are passed on to the tenant. Also, in theory, you can raise the rent 15/20% every three years. Disadvantage tenants stay forever, rarely move.

Here’s a small example. Sex Assaults in mixed sex wards (used to be single sex but that’s considered transphobic)      https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/01/07/1000-sex-assaults-mixed-sex-wards-investigation-finds/   edit: moved over to the proper 🧵 

Via Reddit   I want my protection from indecent exposure back. As a female, I grew up with the concept that if an adult showed me their penis without my consent, that was sexual assault. I don't care who the penis is attached to.  I do not want to see a penis without my consent.  I mean, itty bitty kids is understandable but once your age reaches double digits, you should know better if you don't have severe cognitive impairment. I don't want my young daughter to see her first penis in a girl's locker room. Isn't indecent exposure still supposed to be illegal?   What is this madness?     BTW I could spend all day posting about the insanity of the Woke Left. For example today I rather university is banning capital letters because it triggers some students. This along with clapping and other things. It does make you wonder how the heck university students will ever survive in the real world. I mean will they call mommy when the boss gives them a bad performance appraisal or tells them there supposed to actually do some work.    

Thanks that’s what I needed, very strange that N26 doesn’t offer joint account

  The problem is when you have private the fees/costs are quite a bit higher and the insurance doesn't always cover 100%. She (his German wife) said there is a way around it, so you get the public rates you have to know the tricks to get it. He travels back to the states regularly (3-4 times)  so he gets any medical work done there.

Quick question before I go to all the work of opening an account, do they offer joint accounts? N26 doesn't offer joint accounts (like WTF)   you could "lose" the card but you'd have to pay a fee and your old card will be blocked so you'll be without one for a few days till you activate the new one.

Update: downloaded the app signed in, got an abholcode and you just need to enter you customer number and the abholcode. Now here’s the weird part. You can’t your card via the app, you have to enter it in manually 

Ok reread the thread so that makes more sense now. My friend retired here and as he never worked here in't eligible to join the public system. Thankfully he has cheap, high quality insurance. His main issue is the moment he mentions he¡s private the bill jumps.    

I don't think this applies to you as you won't be eligible for public healthcare. I have a couple of friends in this situation and they have to pay for private healthcare.

good but lenghty take on this issue from LGB Alliance UK     LESBIANS DESPERATELY NEED ...THE LGB ALLIANCE UK.    Since around 2014, organisations and powerful lobbying groups set up for LGBT people, such as Stonewall UK, LGBT umbrella organisations, GLAAD and Pride events et al, have increasingly neglected LGB needs, causes and interests. They have, during this time, increasingly served and promoted Trans Rights and transgenderism, at the expense of and instead of Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Rights.  LGB are sexual orientations, whilst Trans is not a sexual orientation and is focused upon gender and gender identities. (Sex stereotypes).    In 2014, these groups started leaving the LGB out and this has escalated over the years to what we have today. A voiceless, toothless and diminished LGB community and a flourishing, thriving and prosperous Trans community.    Lesbians in particular have fared very badly,  due to having less power in society because of our sex and issues of sexism and our sexuality.    Lesbians are same sex attracted and female homosexuals. We are therefore exclusively attracted to other women. Stonewall UK et al, in their promotion of Trans Rights, seek to enforce inclusivity. Lesbians and Gays are therefore at odds with this.    As a result, lesbians in particular are being and vilified and demonised by the LGBT community, because we are female homosexuals and same-sex (not gender) attracted and therefore exclusive of men, even if they identify as women.  As a result lesbians have been labelled “transphobic bigots” and Trans-exclusionary Radical Feminists (Terfs) and been shunned and turned into social pariahs by  Trans Rights Activists. Transgenderism is therefore diametrically opposed to LGB Rights and are homophobic.    Stonewall UK et al, who have huge influence and power,  provide “education” in many, if not all of our major institutions, including the police service, the NHS, other service providers and schools. This input is extremely biased towards Trans Rights and teach transgender ideology over the Rights of every other marginalised group in society.    Stonewall UK have also deliberately undermined and tried to erode lesbian’s sexual boundaries and allowed, if not encouraged, Trans Identified Males (trans women), to try to coerce us into accepting them as sexual partners, because these trans women, identify as lesbian women! The majority of trans women , are in fact heterosexual men, with a fetish for lesbians!   The term, “cotton ceiling”, is a play on the similar term the “glass ceiling” and is euphemistically used to describe the concerted efforts and practice of trans women “lesbians”,  trying to get beyond the underwear of lesbians. This is gross. It also lends itself to corrective rape and a form of trans conversion therapy.  Stonewall UK have a lot to answer for and are a major part of the literal harassment of lesbians, as they have not challenged this ideology, sexual harassment or indeed told trans women that what they are doing is immoral, homophobic or wrong.    Stonewall UK today, are now, some 6 years later, fixated on promoting Trans Rights and transgender ideology. As a result of this, they are extremely biased against LGB people. They are in fact homophobic and dangerous in particular to lesbians,  who will not accept inclusivity, because it is at odds with their innate sexual orientation, of being same sex attracted.  I’m a life-long lesbian and I came out aged 17 in the 1980s. I am an activist both online and in real life. I spent this summer of 2019, protesting a number of Pride events, with other lesbians and allies, from the national feminist group,  ReSisters UK.    We were protesting against LGBT alliances, Stonewall UK and the Pride events themselves which were becoming more hostile towards lesbians and becoming immersed in transgender ideology.    We protested for better lesbian visibility, against lesbian erasure and to raise awareness, that as lesbians, we were ONLY same SEX attracted and NOT  attracted to those who’s gender was identified as female. We protested that we were “Lesbian and not Queer” and that “lesbians don’t have penises.” At these events, our peaceful protests, were met with absolute contempt and hatred, by people that had attended and in the main, these were trans allies, heterosexuals, who had taken to calling themselves “Queers”, in order to be considered “transgender” themselves and fit in with the narrative! We were spat at, had our placards torn and were faced with baying mobs. They were full of hatred for us daring to assert ourselves and our sexual boundaries, that were being eroded by Stonewall and Trans Identified Males and Trans Rights Activists.    At the Lancaster Pride event,  the 5 of use who were protesting, were deliberately swamped by trans allies, obscured by trans flags. The police did nothing to keep these trans allies away from us and we were forced to stop, because of intimidation by sheer numbers. We were surrounded by a sea of trans flags and the hateful, mantra shouting mob. The police had to escort us away, for our own safety. We had been silenced at an LBGT Pride event, by trans allies, the majority of whom were straight.    They were horrific experiences to witness and deal with and I won’t ever forget them. At all the Prides that I protested, we were shut-down and intimidated into silence by trans people, gay men, their allies and organisers. We had proved our point, that lesbians were not welcome, in this increasingly evident men’s sexual rights movement.    At Lancaster Pride, which was advertised as a family event, evidence of this men’s sexual rights movement were seen in terms of men parading around in fetish clothing and animal masks. It was extremely disturbing to see a tent that had been set up for small children, as a “play” area, which was run by adult men wearing fetish clothing and animal masks. These children had been left there, unsupervised,  by their parents, who considered it suitable. They obviously had very little knowledge about protecting their children from sexual abuse, or about grooming. Safeguarding concerns were reported to the police. I took a photograph of this highly inappropriate set-up, which you can view below.    When Trans attached themselves to the LGB organisations, it became increasingly obvious that they came with a Trojan horse, for fetishists and kinksters, who were overwhelmingly heterosexual men. This is not what LGB stood for and not what Pride represented. It was nothing to do with sexual orientations or LGB civil rights.  Over the last few years, these heterosexual men, with fetishes, have attended public Pride events, that are being promoted as family friendly, in fetish, BDSM clothing and wearing animal masks. This is not appropriate, but has been encouraged by the Trans contingent.   As well as being anti -Lesbian, these Pride events have increasingly become a show of men’s sexual rights .     Lesbian meeting places, bars and clubs have closed down or been taken over and colonised, by heterosexual autogynephiles (transvestites). Men who dress as women and who are sexually aroused by this. They too identify as “lesbians” and target real lesbians for sex. It’s a fetish. Autogynephiles were also lurking in the Trans Trojan horse.    Also hiding in the shadows of this Trojan horse,  are the paedophiles, who have rebranded, calling themselves, Minor Attracted Persons (MAPs). They are already becoming accepted on social media by Twitter and I guarantee that they will be shuffling forward and they will start to assert themselves at Pride events in the UK. This is all evidence that Pride is becoming part of a men’s sexual rights movement , which is encouraged by Trans ideology and transgenderism.    Radical Lesbian Feminists in particular, wants absolutely nothing to do with this scene and what Pride has become and what it now represents. It is misogynistic and corrupting of the young and impressionable and is normalising of BDSM, kink and men’s fetishism.    Its certainly not a safe, or an appropriate environment for young people to be involved in. It is not about  Lesbian, Gay or Bisexual civil rights anymore, it has been hijacked by men, straight, bi and gay and trans-formed into an expression of men’s sexual rights.    LGB Alliance UK, formed last year as a result of a LGB community in crisis, in the face of  homophobic Transgenderism and Stonewall UKs inability and unwillingness to support or promote this community.    It does NOT include, or seek to include Trans or the questionable inhabitants of their Trojan horse, which has nothing to do with sexual orientation.    It is lesbian led and promises to give lesbians a prominent voice on policy making and implementation. They have been true to their word and I know lesbians that are involved in setting it up.    I have been advertising it, promoting it on social media, recruiting for it and encouraging my followers on Twitter and Facebook, to donate money, because lesbians in particular are desperate for a voice, support and a robust organisation to champion their needs.

Must be getting old I had to look it up 😐   SMDH is an acronym for either shaking my damn head, or so much damn hate, either way it is to be used as a response or as a stand alone phrase. Usually SMDH has a negative connotation, used in a way to respond to a direct action or words spoken to you.
