I agree with most of your points, but mandatory voting is not anti-freedom in my book. Plenty of places have it (Australia for example) and people can always choose to invalidate their ballot if they don’t want to make a choice.

Colorado has a similar AI law

I expect nothing and I’ll still be disappointed when it’s over.

It stands for Getting Things Done, a method of organizing

Microsoft ToDo. It works well with the GTD method.

Cumtown?

OP isn’t an emotional abuser though, even if they think they are. It’s a symptom of their depression that makes them feel this way.

Ain’t nothing wrong with that, but he doesn’t need to be so weird about it.

The EU will … oh wait, nevermind

We bought a reliable car for 22k without financing. Our next car will be bought when this one dies. It’s not necessary to have a new car every couple of years.

If you pay 500$ a month for 30 years at 5% interest compounded monthly you would contribute $180k and would have $416,129 so not really a million. You would need a little less than 9.5% interest to get a million. 2% interest is only getting you $246k which when you take into account inflation 2-3% normal average minus 5% one of the higher realistic interests that is what you are actually making .

Ramsey is always very optimistic about investment returns. His advice isn’t too bad though.

Why are high schools investing money in the first place???

As a German I find Gretchen hilarious. Not a name you’d see in Germany despite its origins.

My vote is on Brunhilde, my grandma’s name. It’s a name only 80+y olds would have, but I like it

Doesn’t get more classic than that

Rub a leaf between your fingers. The smell can tell you sometimes which fruit you’ll get. Other than that you need to wait to find out.

In terms of citrus I can recommend satsumas, my 2y old tree gave me about 40 fruits this year alone and they taste great.

That we are supposed to be a part of it and not separate. Indigenous peoples have a drastically different outlook on nature because they feel they’re nature, whereas we’re so disconnected from it all.

Moved houses so I started prepping next year’s garden by dumping all of the autumn leaves where I want to establish beds. This’ll kill the lawn by spring allowing me to plant stuff.

Personally, I love citrus and fig trees. Figs are great because growing them is the only reliable way to get great ones

Having a nice breakfast with the family like every weekend. We either do waffles, pancakes or homemade brezels. Apart from that I’m hoping to spend some time outside in the garden to clean up for autumn while the kids play.

Yes, that’s true, but at that age you’re financially more stable and have more patience than a 20y. We had our kids at about 30 and I think that’s probably the best age for it.
