I didn’t do that because I wanted to. I just struggle to do anything important without a looming deadline. It sucks. I wrote a 25 page paper in a single night once and it was miserable (the experience, not the paper - the paper got an A).
I’m trying to prep for a move right now and it’s like I’m paralyzed. I know I should do the thing but I can’t seem to make my body do it, so I just sit and hate myself.
That’s sort of what I wondered the first time I saw it. There’s no real evidence that the caption matches the picture.
I hate skirts and dresses though. But I do try my best not to wear hard pants anymore. Pjs and leggings only.
It feels like if Shel Silverstein went just a biiit further.
I’ve been reading more about the job market in Spain lately and it sounds like they have a similar problem. Not nearly to the extent that Japan does, but similar attitudes about being at work for unnecessarily long hours even if there’s no real point. There doesn’t appear to be any reward, either. I don’t blame people for declining to participate.
Yeah like, they have negative charisma, so it’s extra baffling. I cannot imagine a world in which I’d support Donald Trump, but definitely not in this one where he routinely shits his own diaper. If he was only disgusting mentally but was a good speaker or handsome or whatever, it would make at least a little more sense
I would’ve thought that if his tone wasn’t angry, but dude sounded pissed, and it was a very abrupt change when I said why. I’m sure I’m not the first or only person to cancel for that reason but I didn’t get “secretly agrees” vibes.
I called to cancel my red card and the guy asked why so I said it was due to their new DEI policies, or lack thereof, and he said, “WELL, wish there was something we could do to keep you but there’s not so the account will be closed. Thanks for calling!” And then basically hung up on me. It definitely made me feel like the adult in the relationship.
Yeah but how many times could spies bribe the person in that role with a 6 pack? You could let him pick what he wants from the gas station beer case and he’d probably give you all his passwords.
Christ, that drives me crazy. It makes me want to stop and say, “well now I’m not doing it at all,” because in my heart, I’m a child.
I think most of Europe has places that can accommodate that, especially if you travel outside of big cities. I’d put more of my budget into a place to stay and slightly less into food, but that’s my personal preference, and I’ve found tons of meals out for a lot less than that. I don’t think we spent more than maybe 40 euros for a meal for two anywhere in Spain, including wine/beer, and many were more like 25. Even Berlin and Munich were pretty reasonable and we made up the difference by going to Aldi for some of our breakfast/dinner food.
What would you consider a low price level? My mom and I have been to a lot of places that aren’t traditionally known as cheap, but we usually stay in places with a kitchen (aparthotels, mainly, we avoid airbnb) and grocery shop so we spend far less on food than a lot of people would. We also travel outside of peak season, primarily to avoid the crowds but it’s also less expensive.
Good. Maybe people will quit buying that garbage that just goes in a landfill. That might be the one good thing about the tariffs in a sea of shit.
I have a very hard time believing that the rest of the world will trust the US for a very long time, if ever, so I can’t imagine our financial situation is going to improve for anyone except maybe the ultra wealthy (as usual). I haven’t even looked at my retirement because it’s not like there’s much I can do besides stress about it.
I’ve used it in to turn into my driveway when there are other cars around because some of my neighbors and most of the delivery drivers drive like total dicks and can’t seem to figure out why someone would slow down in a neighborhood.
No, I’d be going on a non-lucrative visa. Not off my own earnings because I’m a millennial who was idealistic enough to go into public service, but my mom has enough retirement and assets to swing the fairly modest income requirements for us both and she wants me to come. She’s worried I’m going to end up dead in El Salvador, being a member of several targeted groups by this administration.
Just having it in stock seems like a miracle from everything I’ve seen for a while. I may be moving to Europe late this year or next year and my income will be dropping to about half (with a generally much lower COL, but PC parts look to be about comparable to the US at the moment) so I’m guessing I may be able to find the parts but affording them will be a different matter.
I have a 3080 and usually play on a patient gamer schedule so I don’t really need to update yet, but I sort of wish I had now. I feel like my current build is going to have to last me for a lot longer than anticipated. But that’s ok, it’s probably better for my bank account to hoard the money I have anyway.
Unless that $2000 used beater has major issues (and most do at that price these days) and you don’t have the cash to fix them. Then you have a $2000 pile of crap and you still need a car. No, not everyone needs an expensive car, but sometimes there’s a good reason to buy something that requires payments.
It’s really, really obvious, too. I don’t have a reddit account anymore, but I occasionally scroll through popular, and r/world is such blatant propaganda that it makes r/conservative look reasonable. Like, damn guys, at least try to make it believable.
