Which is ironic as fast food used to have 2 appeals - quick and cheap.

I’m not sure how quick they are these days because I can no longer afford it.

Free market goes to the highest bidder.

It’s a vicious pinch, rent rates going up preventing you from saving while housing rates (and minimum down-payment if you want a decent monthly mortgage/interest rate) are going up at the same time. My wife and I got lucky and we own our townhouse, but half of the properties vacated in our neighborhood either through eviction or owners moving out have all been turned into rental properties owned by a corp. It’s fucked up, they want noone to own anything anymore so they can get richer through obscene rent hikes every year… And we live in MD. I can’t even imagine trying to survive in NY or any other big city.

Also OK Cupid, but my wife and I also knew each other back in high school. So that was our icebreaker. Ok cupid was the only dating app I could actually use because everything else required a Facebook profile, which I do not have…

Bad Religion was one of my high-school favorites that has stayed a favorite since. I have every one of their albums saved on my phone.

Literally looped in circles over and over to avoid answering questions. It was so frustrating to listen to.

That’s beautiful! Zelda is one of my all time favorite game series, just had to compliment that one!

I love that green GameCube! I can’t zoom in well enough to 100% tell, is that a triforce and master sword?

Dude was old and drove like an ass. I used to tell him he was gonna get his driver’s license taken away and he was gonna have to drive the forklift home on the shoulder of the highway every day lol

That depends on how the cops feeling. A guy I used to work with got pulled over for doing the speed limit in the left lane for “impeding traffic”

I agree. After the ending, I was happy my boy could get some rest too lol

I’m hoping the initial backlash from cyberpunk actually registered with them. Other than that I’m also worried about what kind of story and characters they’ll use considering the way the last dlc for witcher 3 ended. Not sure I’ll be into Ciri based gameplay. That was my least favorite part of Witcher 3, and I don’t really want them to retcon the end of blood and wine either to continue with Geralt.

It’s because I said bad things about Biden, even though I was talking about politicians as a whole. But you can’t say bad things about Biden or be any kind of critical about the current administration without getting trashed on here.

Aww, what a handsome fella! I’m sorry for your loss. Never easy to lose a friend…☹️

I mean, you wouldn’t want the politicians to lose their legal bribes generous donations over acting in our interests instead of the corporations, would you?

Will someone please think of the rich folks pockets?

“Best I’ll be able to do is work a half day on the day of my funeral”

And even then, the mandatory overtime is gonna make me late to my own damn funeral.

It’s from 1986 and not insulated well. Between that and my wife keeping the thermostat and mordor temp, and opening the fridge for long periods of time not knowing it wasn’t working, it turned into a hotbox.

This is a great idea! But I will have to go with something other than meat. A fair amount of my wife’s side of the family is vegetarian. I’m also not that great at cooking lol one of my thoughts this year was to do some of my stencil spraypaints on canvas, as I have a huge stock of canvases and spray paint I never used when I stopped doing it years ago. I just wish I had more time to create some stencils.

No kids to take care of, but my fridge just went out today. This spoiled most of the food in the fridge as I can’t pick up a new one until tomorrow, and the of a new fridge and restocking my fridge pretty much cancels Xmas gifts for the family. I feel bad every year because they get my wife and I all kinds of cool stuff and it seems like every year I’m stuck telling them, “Maybe I’ll be less broke next year” Not quite the same, I know, but it still makes me feel aweful…

Meanwhile the owner of my company just bought a 5th wheel camper trailer and hitch for his truck in June because he felt like going camping, and is having a 6 bedroom house built for his son on his ranch because his sons wife is having a baby.

This world is fucked for the working class truly.

I don’t either. I’ve already told the family Christmas is gonna be light. Other than what I can scrounge up, instead of the “buy now, pay later” model, I’ve adopted the “don’t buy what i don’t need, pay never” one.

Skyrocketting prices on everything means I use what i have until it is absolutely unusable/unfixable anymore. And my credit cards stay mostly clear except for emergencies.

It’s a lack of self control on a lot of people’s part, and financial institutions are loving it I’m sure.
