I did my week’s work yesterday afternoon. Today is now coffee.

And his brother Bret. Pompous ass. I can’t believe I have college credits from his ivermectin ass.

It’s a hell of a high note.

Only a week? Lucky!

Hot butter rum.

Miss knows what she wants.

If I am expected to answer for what XxCommieCoomer42069xX says on a discord channel, then I am at least left of center according to my calibrations.

Is the British Museum the final boss?

I sometimes blast this while driving. It’s such a strangely upbeat menu theme.

Neat! I am on about year 15. What brought you to challenge yourself to pick it back up? Like, anything in particular or was it a slow burn?

Yep. It’s the only real option in my opinion. My spouse’s student loans weren’t fixed and they’d fluctuate so much in payments and started accruing balance randomly. Our homeownership allowed us to leverage another fixed loan to pay off her variable loans. Now it’s just a steady small payment for 15 years.

That’s also looking at just pure numbers.

I was forced to move every year I was a tenant. I hated it. And the fees and expenses of moving weren’t insignificant, not to mention the time. Some places I lived I never unpacked.

But now I have kids. Things like school districts matter.

Stability matters beyond the strict dollar amount sometimes, if not most times.

I did the math. I bought in 2019 and all those costs and expenses were nothing compared to ballooning rent. My monthly housing expenses went down across the board. The equivalent cost of rent since purchasing dwarfs closing costs and even all the maintenance that’s gone into the place. Rent (in America) is calculated to cover all possible homeownership costs so I’m paying for the new fridge or hot water heater one way or another.

Plus I haven’t had to move legislative districts since.

Not to mention it was amid a crashout with Nintendo where Square struck a deal with Sony making the Playstation a sudden major contender.

Homeowning and paying a mortgage, especially now, is the single most important thing maintaining my quality of life.

A neighbor recently sold and it is now a rental. Paying that rent would effectively raise my housing costs about $20k a year.

It’s almost exactly the same house and lot. It’s insane.

The people asking questions are often fans lobbing questions they know fit the narrative. Like the tiktoker who streamed immediately and apparently stole merch from the booth: they were a fan and in line.

I agree with most of the comments in this thread, and I’ll add: there is zero need to purchase Windows 11.

Although DS2 gave us a reprieve with despawning enemies eventually, making runbacks feel rather poignant when you’re walking an empty world.

I think it is fine. No one should produce or raise children they do not want.

I still support our society focusing on improving the material conditions for every generation, new and old.

There should not be conflict there.
