Plot twist: he’s not leaving office. Don’t tell me about the 22nd amendment. He’s already in office in violation of the 14th. He’s not dying anytime soon either. Rotten fucks like him always live well into their 90s, fueled by hate. Just look at Rupert Murdoch.

Unless it’s motorsports. Then the necessities of life are the rounding error. 🤣

Fair enough. It’s not for everyone. I’ve heard it described as, “Suffering, surrounded by great beauty.”

I spent $50 on boots at the REI garage sale and went hiking every weekend. YMMV

Classical music is even a better deal. I was in the 2nd row to see Augustin Hadelich play Mozart and the tickets were less than $30. Lucky for me I’d rather see that than any pop music.

Or they might have broken their back working long hours for 20 years sacrificing to live below their means and build up a big enough stash to be able to vibe for a while and maybe even find something to do that would be meaningful for them and possibly help others. I don’t presume to know anyone else’s history, struggles, or circumstances, and it seems a bit unkind to make assumptions.

But, probably, yeah. In most cases. I just felt personally attacked because I just left a job I hated, moved to a low cost of living area, massively downsized on housing, and realized I can exist for quite a while without having a job, and can finally try finishing some side projects I never had time for. So, I still work, it’s just that nobody is paying me.

If this surprises you even a little, I don’t know how to help you.

I got my MBA a couple months before the dot com bubble burst. Tell me about it.

Luckily I never do mansplaining because I don’t understand how anything works.

Women often complain that when they go to home depot the workers always ask what project they are doing and walk them through how to do it instead of just pointing them to the product they are looking for.

Honestly I’d love nothing more than for a Home Depot worker to ask me about my project and walk me through how to do it. It would save me the inevitable return trip(s) to pick up that one part or tool I didn’t think about.

But I understand that it could be seen as condescending if you do know what you’re doing and just need help finding the thing you already know you need.

I’m just glad I’m not the only one here old enough to remember that episode. Or, three-parter to be precise.

Fine then you’ll wipe out while surfing or your housekeeper will throw her back out during hula lessons.

Better not mess with sacred stuff in Hawaii. You could wake up with a tarantula crawling on your chest.

LOL, no.

I’ve met so many fellow members of the Ohio diaspora that we came up with a saying: Ohio is a great place to be from. Far from.

About 8,100 miles, as the crow flies.

Yeah. Normally I would never react to the news that someone has a chronic vein disease by hoping that it is fatal or at the very least causes excruciating pain.

But I did that yesterday. 😁

You voted for all of it, you dumb fool. It was all written down in Project 2025. We tried to warn you.

We used to do that in my generation, but it was just called getting laid off. 😂

The only “weather modification machines” are fossil fuel powered energy plants. We should join together with MTG to outlaw them.

Within a year they’ll be allowed in but not out.
