“Whatever you want within what you can afford.” And staying home alone is cheap.

Pinching pennies from public resources into private pockets, as harmless as that may seem when it starts, inevitably has the endgame of slavery.

Unfortunately for them, nobody wants to have kids in the economy they’ve created, and by the time they realize it, their only options are to either raise the retirement age, or open the borders.

Either way I would not be surprised if we have an upcoming generation of suicide bombers who— because they can’t afford healthcare and don’t want to contribute anymore to the system— take themselves out in a blaze of glory alongside their overlords.

It seemed like a good idea on paper, but not one I’d pay a subscription service for.

Search apartments.com or whatever for places 1-2 hour bike rides from work. Move there.

…not joking, I’m fortunate enough in that that’s what I’ve been doing. Biking/walking to work is the only way I get any exercise (even though I can work from home). In winter months/if it’s too cold or snowy I’ll use the stationary bikes our work building put in to entice people back from COVID.

I have to have a purpose to exercise (other than health I guess?) otherwise I won’t do it.

At least he got “his turn,” and did some good before he died. /s

I really can’t wait till he’s dead. That fucking face is so goddamn annoying.

Look, I didn’t think the book was all that great, and while I liked the vibes of the reboot I thought it was just OK, but as a horror fan I will trudge through so much shit for a morsel of goosebump moments that I’ll watch whatever garbage you slop up in front of me.

My expectations won’t be high; I’ll settle for at least one background Easter egg an episode.

Right next to your bladder, believe it or not.

They spider-fly now.

Trumpet!
