Hey, maybe there will be a better future after all. Republicans can just keep killing off their own with misinformation and maybe one day we won’t have to deal with their bullshit.

I highly doubt most women who make porn would do it if their needs were met otherwise. I know how much I hate my 9 - 5 so I can’t even imagine the suffering and dread they must feel. We really should have a UBI system.

More than half the people who send me gifts have told me they can’t afford to do anything for Christmas this year. I let them know that I understand and I wouldn’t be sending much this year either. I’ve had to cut my Christmas budget in half compared to previous years. Everyone I know is struggling right now. Trump’s economy has fucked us all.

So true lol. They are the type of teammate who only shows up 20% of the time, works on one tiny piece of the project with lots of help from other members, then claims they did all the work or blames everyone else when the project doesn’t get finished on time.

Exactly, I make a fraction of what you make and I could never afford to buy a house anywhere. Back when I first started renting 16 years ago, my friend and I rented a 2 bedroom place for $450 a month and now a studio is 4 times that in rural states.

The owner of the place I currently rent has surprised us with a Christmas notice that she’s selling the place and we have to leave by April. We can’t afford anywhere near here so we’ll have to move very far north and our commutes will at least double. Maybe triple. Locals are getting forced out of places they’ve lived their whole lives. This shit is fucked up. People are too damn greedy and selfish.

Same and I live in what would be considered a rural state. We don’t have any big cities and a studio apartment would cost me about $1500 a month about 50 miles outside our biggest city and $1800+ within 50 miles of Portland Maine which is our biggest city. This shit is out of control. Our wages are more in line with a rural state, but our rent prices are near what you’d expect in a bigger city.

His heart probably can’t handle stimulants anymore. He’s switched to benzos to get his high now.

Put it on a giant clock face and see if humans can adapt.

Taiwan sounds amazing!

All I know is that one is a couch fucker. No clue who the other two losers are.

I agree with this. I love cooking and I’m a man. I do all of the cooking in my household. My fiancee never really learned how and I’d prefer to be the one who cooks anyway. I grew up in a very large family and I was the oldest so I learned a lot of things to help out like housekeeping and cooking. Boys really should learn how to cook. For me, it’s a fun creative outlet. It’s one of my favorite things to do.

They do it because they’re banking on elderly people to not know what they’re paying and lazy/oblivious people not to care. A long time ago, I would help older people with various things. Sometimes I’d play music for them or just listen to their stories. One thing I realized is that so many “legitimate” businesses exist simply because they’re scamming elderly people. I even worked for a PC repair shop for a few years. You can guess who 90 percent of our clientele was. We’d sell really shitty refurbished PCs to them for nearly a thousand dollars. They’d force me to try to make them trade in their PC regardless of the issue so we can part out their good parts and sell them some bare bones piece of shit. I felt so scummy while I worked there. It’s really gross how much of our economy is based on scams.

I’ve seen others bring up historical context before, but isn’t that just men with multiple wives because women had fewer to no rights in nearly every case.

I know. I only eat canned soup when I’m eating alone. If im making dinner for my partner and I it’s usually something more elaborate. I’m fine eating ramen and simple soup though.

$0.96 is pretty damn cheap and I don’t need to make any extra effort for all the protein I need for the night. I wish I had time and energy to cook more often, but I really appreciate having affordable options like this. If I was single I would be eating very cheaply with very little effort.

What was the joke? Michelob Ultra is my choice for light beer. It just tastes better than the other light alternatives. I’d prefer better beer, but sometimes you have to count your calories.

Some people, definitely. I get that it’s gross, but I also worked as a janitor and worked in landfills. I’ve dealt with much worse.

There’s definitely solutions to the problem. You could carry disposable gloves. People with dogs carry plastic bags everywhere. That could work in a pinch. You could wedge the door open and use your foot to open it to leave.

I personally just try to not use public toilets as much as possible. I carry hand sanitizer spray and a bottle of water in my backpack. It’s definitely gross, but it’s not unsolvable.

You clean your hands but then you have to touch a probably dirty handle to open the door.

If the government really wanted to protect children from the internet they’d provide locked down devices with spyware to each kid or they’d force parents to buy locked down devices. They’d punish parents if a child used a device that isn’t locked down. If they actually cared about protecting children they’d monitor their parents with spyware too. Why stop with government provided safe devices and spyware though, they could install cameras in every house that has kids just so they can monitor kids 24/7.

Obviously they’re not going to do any of that. There probably already is spyware in most devices and it’s not like they’re using it to protect them now. Banning VPNs for the sake of protecting children is just as stupid.
