If you want to see a real credit score, try buying a house if you forgot to pay your cellphone bill once six years ago.

"I'm sorry, asking what your credit score is makes your credit score drop 30 points. No, you're not allowed to see the algorithms we use to determine your credit score either."

[–] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 13 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

Paying off a debt also lowers your credit score too! I lost 80 god damn points for paying down my student loans!

I forgot about that lol. I finally got debt free assuming my score would go up and it just tanked.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 hours ago

Nah, score is all about how much/goof of a debt slave you are.

So it's entirely built off of you always having some debt not about if you pay it

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 4 points 3 hours ago

It makes sense, the credit score is a measure of how much money banks and other financial institutions think they can extract from you. Doing things that minimize your total payments loses them money, and so those things lose you points.

I'm not going to complain that rednote is deprograming some burgerbrains but these are questions answered by a simple google search.

[–] TheSpectreOfGay@hexbear.net 46 points 11 hours ago

when i search "does china have a social credit system?" the ai result says that it does lol

but honestly there's so much propaganda relating to that one, if you look at a glance at the non-ai results it still looks like they have it. plus americans think of it as a common sense thing to know so im not super surprised they would never think to google it

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 34 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

If they google it they're just going to get results from Fox News or WSJ or some other hitlerite news outlet telling them chyna is in fact 1984 tinyman square oppressing their citizens with social credit score.

People won't believe this kind of stuff unless they ask it directly to another person.

one of the most difficult things as a neuroatypical person that i had to grapple with in my adult life

honkies can't read or research things

they get all their positions from absorbing the vibes of those around them

[–] Yuritopiaposadism@hexbear.net 24 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

you expect burgerbrains to do their own research?

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 15 points 11 hours ago

It goes to show the level of propaganda and how effective it is on Treatlers that they can't even be bothered to google it.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 31 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

How many days until the new American propaganda line becomes "all of these Chinese posters have to say these things to propagandize America" as if every single thing that happens on the planet is for Americans

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 23 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

T-Minus what 15 minutes maybe? They're just going to say these are Xi-Bots paid to make China look good. Your average anglo is too comfortable in their bubble of fart lies about CHYNA frothingfash

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 16 points 12 hours ago

I will say this does prove the US government line that Americans using Chinese apps is bad for national security. Hard to keep your population blinded by ridiculous propaganda when they can just see for themselves it's not true. So that's kind of ironic and funny.

now that's one i wouldn't've been able to guess from context alone

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 25 points 12 hours ago

I really hope this has lasting impact on USians, but I'm not holding my breath just yet.

[–] Guamer@hexbear.net 18 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I get the jist, but even though I haven't had to do any in years, man do I remember how much homework sucks ass

[–] Formerlyfarman@hexbear.net 11 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Yhea, as a kid, you already spend 7 hours at school, and the have to do Homework on top of that...

[–] pinguinu@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Is school in kkkrakkkerland 7 hours? Holy shit

[–] WaterBowlSlime@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 5 hours ago

From beginning to end, it's actually closer to 8 hours. And if you count transportation it's often around 9 thanks to the car blight.

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 1 points 3 hours ago

Yeah, is 7 hours short or long relative to where you are?

It's authoritarian to not let your kids drive you into bankruptcy buying skibidi toilet skins for their Fortnite avatar.
