It may not be the case everywhere, but here condos are kind of a shit deal. They cost as much as a small house, they’re very difficult to sell, and the board can force you to renovate your unit out of your own pocket.

The last one doesn’t sound bad, but a big reason to buy a home is to fix your living expenses for retirement, and being told to tear out your flooring because Shelly upstairs likes muave and all units must now have muave floors can be a real problem.

A couple of ideas:

• Home Ownership. I know condos exist, but it seems to me that we need a solution for home ownership that is accessible and ecologically viable. Traditional houses (and even duplex’s/townhomes) are massively inefficient from a climate perspective, not to mention the space requirements and cost.

• Child rearing. In college, I learned that children were typically raised by multiple neighbors, in order to lessen the strain on parents. I think it is unrealistic and unhealthy to expect people to nearly kill themselves attempting to raise a child for the first couple of years.

• Recreation space. I realize this is mostly an American thing, but lawns are a colossal waste of space. To be of any use at all, they have to be at least half an acre, and realistically, there’s no reason every single family needs their own outdoor recreation space. Plus, a tiny minority of people even use them these days.

Depends on which kind you’re talking about. Cinnamon raisin breads and similar are sweet because they’re basically deserts (desserts?).

Standard sandwich loaf is sweet because your weak foreign palate cannot handle the background level of high fructose corn syrup in all American food. It gives us the strength and vitality to enforce pax Americana, build our secret space colonies, and invent all new world technology.

“I don’t really get why people get so up in arms about discussing it, but Sex is fun. Be careful though, those swimmers are persistent little fuckers.”

“Drugs feel good and you think everything is fine until one day you look up and realize it all went wrong years ago. I can’t stop you, but I really hope you’ll choose not to try them.”

I think both worked out well. I’m sex positive and I generally avoid drugs because it just isn’t worth the risk of finding that one substance that totally ruins my life.

Nice bar: whatever menu cocktail or specialty product looks good.

Okay bar: Amaro/mezcal if they have it, gin/rum if they don’t.

Not very good bar: beer or cider

Bad bar: bottle beer. No cans, mixers, or taps, and well pours only if truly desperate.

Disagree with your underlying assertion that students do not read nonfiction books. Your textbooks are nonfiction.

In terms of more “classic” nonfiction materials, j don’t think it’s a very important skill. Something like Anne Frank’s diary or Night can definitely be powerful, but I don’t think reading a secondary source on the American civil war has any more value for a student than a chapter in a textbook.

Isn’t mumble hot garbage? My planet side outfit memes on it whenever it gets brought up.

It’s a percentage because the $60 steak was assumably at a nicer restaurant where you received more in depth service.

Fine dining servers may only have a couple of tables at once, or even for the entire night. You’re paying more for more individual attention.

It also scales in reverse. A server on a shift with a $10 blue plate special will probably have 10 tables before things go off the rails. They’ll also put serious work into getting your ass off that table the minute your plate is clean.

I use a lenovo flip. I love the reversible hinge, but the flip functionality is quite buggy and the build quality is kind of crap.

I’ve been eyeing a framework 13 for years now, but I don’t want to be wasteful by buying a laptop I do not need yet. They look really well supported and easy to work on.

System76 has been a classic for a long time, but I’ve never had the money for one go their units.

I enjoyed it, but not a lot. It very clearly panders to former drama kids and fanfiction.net readers. Overall, I think helluva boss is better.

I’m also not super into musical numbers in general though, which is a big part of the show.

People who prefer android because it’s open source usually use open source android because that’s what they want.

That being said, proprietary blobs and black boxes are a pox on basically every usable device these days. I hate it.

I hope to emigrate to the EU one day. To be blunt, we do not have our shit together over here…

Ads have been known to contain drive-by malware. Even if you don’t mind seeing ads (which personally I don’t mind unless they’re very intrusive), an adblocker is important for online safety.

The BPA coating is what I’m referring to. A lot of people are not fond of plastic bottles because they want to avoid BPA leeching jntk their drink. Switching to a can lined with BPA doesn’t seem to help the issue at all.

Yeah, but it is a lining. The entire interior surface is plastic, so is the risk of chemical leeching any different?

In English, this is “rolling” a drink. It’s the best way to handle something with tomato juice, like a bloody Mary.

My guy, you’re a depressed drug addict. You need to work on yourself and your situation if you want life to improve.

We have a lot of problems right now, to be sure, but it is entirely possible to have a meaningful, fulfilling life.

I’m working on it, which I think is the real “point” of life.

That being said I’m poor as fuck and need to find a way to go back and finish my degree. I’m very close, but as is I can only afford some medical care, so trying to come up with a couple thousand for classes will be interesting.

This was my first car. Iirc it had a 5.2L engine with ~160hp.

The brakes were so squishy I thought they were out when I drove it first.

I sold it for $300 when it needed a $1200 tune up.

I agree, but forming a corp is time consuming in an expensive way, you need (usually) retain lawyers and an accounting firm.

I think it would be better if getting credit were subject to income and asset verification, and most importantly that the government make sure eligibility verification is not abusive, discriminatory, or inconsistent in nature.
