My cats don’t care at all. Fireworks are fun, and if dogs can’t handle that then they’re stupid. I set off a bunch of the big ones that are illegal but can be sold on reservations (I think? I didn’t buy them) for my birthday out in the rural flat middle of nowhere and it was so cool. We had the hardest time lighting them because of the wind and then when we finally got it going we had to sprint away so fast, and we were laughing our asses off. Good mems.
TL;DR fuck yo sensitive dumbass dogs
Is it uncomfortable when they move? I don’t have big boobs but I always wear a bra because I don’t like the sensation of them swinging when I walk around.
Exactlyyyy. It’s basically rent to the state. We have sales tax in this state too and why are we paying taxes on home valuations when the home isn’t being sold. The house is probably going to be sold for a nursing home and bye bye inheritance for me. I wonder when this bubble is going to burst. Only my wealthiest friends anticipate getting a substantial amount from their parents.
I want to have a child but I don’t feel I can give them what they need. I would never pressure my family members to do what benefits me most, but I secretly wish that my mom would retire in Taiwan, where she was born, where she’ll have family and it might be kinder. Retiring in the US seems like the biggest grift. I won’t bring it up unless she brings up grandchildren and then I’ll say I can’t swing it unless she retires in a more affordable country. Now nobody is happy
Even your house is a subscription in the US.
My mom has to pay over $10,000 yearly in property taxes of her house that’s been paid off for over a decade. If she dies (she’s healthy so not soon, but as a hypothetical) I inherit a house I can’t afford the maintenance and taxes on. What are the luxuries? Netflix? That’s passé. We can all cancel Prime, that’s not the point.
Any new tech is a subscription unless you do all you can to research it and make sure it only connects to your network.
There is very little that people want and is easy to not have, unless you want to live a very bare-bones life. Cue Karl Marx quote about going to the pub.
It’s really hard for me to meet people when it’s like “what do you do” and I answer and they say “how is that” and I answer and then they ask where I’m from and then say it’s rainy.
I don’t think people hate small talk so much as they hate it when people are bad at small talk. A lot of awkward people will barrage you with questions and you don’t even get the opportunity to ask them the question back because they just keep peppering you.
Bruh when I first got my computer the first thing I did after getting a browser was install AdBlock except it was a virus site posing as adblock. I feel so dumb right now. I think I need to just pay someone to sit with me for an hour and teach me computer basics. It feels like I missed a step and everyone knows what’s going on but me
Exactly and you remember where in the readings you saw things so it’s easy to flip around and pick a part you want to reference. That’s not at all the same as asking a bot to do it for you.
I have a lot of glorious moments but my highlight was when I started a 4,000 word paper the afternoon before and got glowing reviews. It’s not because I was intellectually lazy, it’s because I knew exactly what references I was looking for and had plotted a large part of it out in my head already. I mean, I was lazy, but I did know what was going on, and I learned.
That means that you understood it yourself though, no? I have worked til the wee hours on many a paper at a prestigious school and it always worked out for me because I was paying attention the whole time, so it didn’t matter that I only started the paper the night before. Essays fill me with dread so the deadline has to rear its ugly head before I can start. TL;DR same
I’m absolutely sickened by the crap that people are somehow paid for on websites now. I just wanted to look at different ideas about the ending of a show I like and I got the laziest writing I’ve ever seen. Any teacher I’ve ever had would have had red marks all over the page and demanded I fix it and return it. Proper names were misspelled and sentences didn’t follow smoothly. It’s so frustrating.
How long ago was that??? I used Wikipedia a lot in high school. I’m nervous it’ll be taken over by these goons (like they’ll start editing) and become useless. One of my favorite things when I’m bored is clicking on random wiki links.
How did you know? Jw
