Grateful at this moment for my wife who grew up food insecure who stocked up several months of food. That will run out though eventually.

Im double on the list for being autistic and trans! I’m gonna go to CAMP!

Wonder if they’re gonna rebrand Aspbergers again as ‘the people useful to society’ again.

Fascists on the rise in Australia too sadly. New Zealand is very isolationist and anti immigration.

Yeah mine expires this year. I really should have renewed it last year

Yeah I think thr house and senate are good as they are for that reason. It’s the electoral college and gerrymandering districts that are the biggest election problems.

I was actually just reading a book a couple months ago, Blasphemy Online where the US fell apart and and several new countries formed after the US fell and Cascadia WAS one of the countries… so that’s neat I guess.

No. No it wasn’t. At all. Literally a simple Google search will show you it is satire. In fact it started off as a segment ON the daily show. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0458254/plotsummary/

Haha. Satire is you pretending to do a thing seriously to show how ridiculous it is. That’s exactly what Colbert was doing.

Closer to 100k. I still owe about 75k. I couldn’t get anything on a 3 year plan. I’m on 5-10 years depending on the loan. My mortgage is about 2k a month and the repairs are another 1k a month, half my mortgage

Whenever I get back on my feet life seems to kick me down again. I never am good at saving, but every time I start to get my debt under control,pay off a loan or something, something else hits me that i need to take out another loan for, or i lose my job and have to struggle to pay the bills for a few months while racking up credit card debt. The house I moved to 3 years ago was the single worst financial decision I ever made, and I wound up having a day 1 plumbing emergency (6k), replacing the roof and all the windows (30k each), replacing the dish washer, clothes washer, and dryer (another 6k), having the sewer line collapse for 12k, finding out all the electrical outlets used aluminum wiring and were sparking during the winter when it got cold so another 7k, the finished basement started flooding and to get it waterproofed they had to rip out the finishing and that cost 7k to do, and the repairs to put it all back will be another 7k after I pay off this other loan I’m close to paying off. That’s just the past 3 years but my life has been a Neverending series of crap like this.

I always thought of the point known as ‘making it’ was the point at which i could just go to the grocery store or a restaurant or a movie and just not worry about how much I was spending comfortable that I had enough. Never got there.

I beg to argue that being able to 3d model the figures and printing your own original creations is far more attractive than downloading a file aomeone else made and printing that.

They still can use a bank… they’re just prohibited from directly using technology themselves. Other people can use technology on their behalf. I just picked up an Amish hitchhiker 2 weeks ago. He can’t drive a car but he can ride on one fine.

It would have to be coupled with assurances that all children are fetting and equal civics education to avoid the whole segregated schools being crappy thing.

This comment also aged like milk. Trump is 5 mil over harris in pop vote

Look at all that wasted desert soil on those solar farms!

Just had mine yeeted 3 weeks ago… and the pain was a relief compared to the pain I was in before… I got by the first couple of days with the oxcodone the doc prescribed in addition to 800mg ibuprofen. After 2 days or so I stopped taking the oxy and took the ibuprofen only for the next week until the big pills were gone and then periodically just taking 400mg as needed for pain. 3 weeks later and there’s no more pain at all and I have started eating things a little more solid woth the dentures I got…

Reading Sisterhood of Dune in anticipation of this. I don’t see from the trailer but I hope Manfred Torondo is in it. He’s a terrifying villain.
