Honestly, just work hard, save your money, support your friends and family, be a friendly and compassionate person, and avoid being bitter. Just avoid chasing women for sex, and you’ll live a happy and healthy life. Just keep some platonic friends for brownies. :-)

That's why we then pay some guy $100 to detail the car and clean up every few years. :-) But seriously, Americans eat a lot in their cars, and some of our cars can be a bit of a mess. With that said, it's usually fast food that gets eaten in a car, not crabs and lobster.

I think he became the perfect example of why they don't help, but I think the real reason is a combination of legal *and* personal risk for a stranger against an irrational person.

I was promised soulless humans in the military. Not actually interesting people.

*“Another argument for a robust international rail system”…let me know how that works in the Atlantic* If I understand how this works, they don't trust the HVAC on planes, but somehow trust the HVAC on trains? :-)

It's weird, as it doesn't make sense to me, but my grandfather was literally doing everything possible for my dad and his siblings to avoid his fate on the family farm losing everything from a severe hurricane.

That’s the secret problem. Most employers won’t let you trade income for additional vacation or sick time. FWIW, if you’re basically hoarding money because you’re paranoid, are you better off than your European counterpart?

Am I the only person that doesn't feel better after doing any exercise? I only feel more tired and worse.

*post-9/11 babies are adults* I was 17 when it happened, and it's really kicking that there are adults who learned about what happened in the real world to me from *history class*. I feel old.

They’re basically mining tunnels built to better specs, but I get the strange feeling that they were subsidized not just by external money diverted by Hamas, but taxing smugglers who probably used the tunnels to import goods from Israel.

FWIW, I'm a boring Millenial in my parents home that would like to stay in my suburban community, but in something smaller and more manageable like a condo. There are too few units, and those available are $$$. Everybody says "go back to Queens if you want a condo".

The car that I was saving up for is going to be hit by a 25% tariff, and my brother is freaking about my nephew’s special education funding from the Department of Education. So yeah, yeah, life was better under the Democrats for some of us.
