Being wealthy and being a “person of worth” are almost mutually exclusive nowadays.

That really makes me miss Graceland Too

I believe they are mostly not even ashes, just ground up bone fragments

Am I the only person that makes my dog carry her own poop bag? I just double knot it and attach it to where the leash attaches on her harness. All these people talking about putting bags in their coats or carrying them…I don’t get it.

You go to the doctor for food poisoning? What are they gonna do besides tell you that you have food poisoning and send you home?

The current governor of Vermont is a Republican. Vermont tends to vote for the person rather than the party.

Ugh I wish you hadn’t reminded me of screensavers. I loved that show! Now I feel old and sad haha

Can we take a minute to address portion sizes?

They aren’t getting out of it though. I’ve seen so many videos of idiots where even though almost everything was illegal (suspended license/fake plates/no insurance/etc) the cop was ready to just write a ticket and let them go but they try their sovcit script and inevitably get their window broken, dragged from the car, arrested, car towed. Then they try that same sovcit shit in court and get shut down again. The disconnect is insane.

I met that cat last year! Super friendly.

Lots of us used to purchase Linux via floppies or CDs attached to a giant user manual that might hopefully help you get it working. I know we were purchasing the physical media itself, but I think people should remember how in those days you mostly couldn’t just easily download any distro and it would just work.

Credit card usually isn’t so bad. It’s usually pretty easy to dispute charges etc, debit card on the other hand…no way that’s getting saved

Her sentence is actually 9 years

How does the math work out on that? I’m not quite sure what home prices are like in the UK, but let’s say you bought a house for 350k and paid cash. That leaves 400k. You retire at 30, and conservatively have 40 more years to live. That’s only 10k/year for the rest of your life. You still have expenses such as home insurance, car insurance, consumables, etc. Doesn’t seem like much. To be fair I’m also not factoring in any kind of pension or social security or anything like that.

They are saying the return to office mandate will cause the best performers (who are likely more confident in securing another job) to quit first, not that everyone shouldn’t be WFH.

No, sorry if that wasn’t clear. She was telling the story to me and my parents, “he” was the man she’d been on a date with at the same restaurant previously.

I took my current gf and my parents to a nice restaurant last night. She mentioned she’d only been there once before, on a date, and that the only reason they went to that restaurant (very $$$) is because he had a gift card and was going to cover the meal. Orders all kinds of expensive stuff. The bill comes and then supposedly he realizes his gift card, if it actually existed in the first place, was for a different restaurant. She ended up having to pay on her CC because he had no other forms of payment. Obviously didn’t work out for him in the end.

“at that”… If you don’t want to eat around other people that exist then just don’t go to restaurants.
