One of my best friends buys 4 lottery tickets a week. It’s like $20. Definitely worth it for indulging the fantasy.

I bonds have variable rates. If you buy an i bond at a certain rate it only keeps that rate for 6 months.

Society keeps on ceding cultural ground to assholes and the rest of us have to tiptoe through every piece of communication in fear of being associated with them.

FUCKING PREACH

I reject the idea that recognizing patterns is now a racist dogwhistle. Fuck that absurd noise and never darken my door with such a ridiculous suggestion ever again.

I don’t give a fuck what six racist sister-fuckers on Telegram say. No one should. They’re irrelevant. Let them have their little secret meanings, no one who matters should give a fuck.

And it fucking SUCKS in the beginning, because for a very long time it keeps getting wiped out by emergencies. But the more emergencies you weather, eventually the fewer you’ll have, and your buffer will grow.

Emergency funds are the most important tool for financial stability (after securing a living wage).

The point is it’s bullshit that’s not available on the Lowes website.

I have a rule of thumb for financial stability.

Level 1 - just buy groceries and pay for them without stressing

Level 2 - don’t worry about when payday hits

Level 3 - don’t worry about getting laid off

Add the 1% there. Generational wealth people. Private jets, multiple mansion homes, etc. They’re far above the upper class. Totally different plane of existence from everyone else.

I’m paid by the hour, I don’t care

There’s several municipally owned ones too. Like Silicon Valley Power.

Personally… I do

I could request a new one, but why? This one works, it’s just slow as all hell.

Fuck it, why stop at humans

Life is an invasive species native to the ocean

“Why are you so worried about this soccer game? Just kick the ball in the net”

God I hate biometrics

Blah blah. Grief makes you do stupid shit. Makes you lash out and invent things in an attempt to find meaning and closure.

It strikes me as pretty low to hand wave away the grief of these real people

Grieving people are stupid people. Call it low if you want, but ignoring them is sound policy.

Good. Chicken is exponentially less bad for the environment.

I hope they get huge pay raises and job security, but I can’t support their anti-automation stance. This generation of longshoremen will likely be the last - soon it will all be robot technicians.

I agree, but it definitely puts the union in a tough spot.

The fucking hilarious bit is that the great majority of TP is produced in the US, from Canadian trees. It was never in any danger of shortages.

I’m surprised that anyone is surprised. School admin is ridiculously, absurdly corrupt. Nationwide.
