Once talked to the real estate agent that helped my mom buy in 2008 about buying a place for me around 2020. I found a decent-enough property for about 250k that i could put a house on.

A part of their advice to me was to wait for a home around $80,000 like my mom got in 2008.

Thanks.

Edit: that 80k is now 460k btw

That part sucks. You definitely need a non-altered screen for that. I’ve probably made some less attractive color choices now that you’ve reminded me haha.

You do you!

I saw this meme as doing something weird on both sides, so for you my meme mirror is perfect. Idk I just like the orange hue even though the day 😊🤘

I have a similar love:

Totoro is a “slice of life” film. No real plot because life doesn’t always have adventures.

Think of it like how people watch streamers (like the ones that are about their life). You get to experience someone else’s life for a bit.

In a genuine “wow look at the details and thought put in this. It’s great!”

And most movies. There are also terrible ones.

Found one: Master of Disguise 3.3 stars. Great movie

Most movies that people dump on are really good.

Being prepared like your library card is one, definitely. Always be polite. Always. If they’re grumpy, it’s something that happened in their life. Could be their boss is crappy, someone flipped them off, etc. It’s not about you, so injecting kindness would really help make their day better.

Be prepared and kind. Again. It really is the best way to make things go smoothly.

Those two, prepared and kindness/politeness, are really it if you think about it.

What’s this exactly? Would you mind an explanation? I would like my files to only be my files.

I think the idea is that people check the weather So they will actually see it. Like, I never read the sports section, but if there was a tidbit on the weather page I might click it.

I liked this one. I’ve only seen it the one time, but it was obviously excellent because it still evokes memories that I liked it.

Absolutely. This has been my favorite end-of-the-world film since I saw it the first time.

(You can find it on Youtube!)

The Razr flip phone was my first phone. It was such a cool phone to have. Now its back, and with a lot more!

Someone to help me de-clutter and get rid of stuff, to help me list and sell the valuable stuff, to organize my home in a logical way.

Stuff and tasks accumulate and have become overwhelming.

This is my parents.

Showing them they defend every single critique… is a critique. I’ve emphasized in so many ways how what they did wasn’t a big deal, how I’m not mad, how it’s ok and it’s a nothing-burger. I’ve given them literal scripts of what they could say. I’ve sent articles, videos, infographics that could help them understand and ways to be able to accept that what they did was a mistake an that it won’t make them a pariah. Telling them dozens of examples of times when I or anyone else has made a mistake and then apologized and fixed it when it was pointed out and everything was fine… nothing.

They don’t change. Like you said, the critique is the problem, it’s not the problem that’s the problem to them.

Just own it, make it right, and let some time heal any embarrassment that’s felt.

Just had to vent.

You’re right. I don’t mean discredit all space-related activities. Satellites help make our world function, and rockets are needed for that.

I meant to emphasize the desire to go to Mars. I see no net-benefit for the world. It’s a vanity project.

I see this problem everywhere. “We should fix X” “But what about?”

Can people please just talk about the topic instead of finding arguments against it? Too many people just want to argue and be ‘right’.

I would do so much to improve the world if I had even one billion dollars. Rocket ships don’t help the homeless. Mars won’t solve the lack of money in education. A car flying through the void of space does not create public transportation. A mega yacht doesn’t feed the hungry.

Please let me handle your money, billionaires. You’ll look so good at the end of it.

Isn’t anyone who has hordes of wealth lucky? How can that not be luck? No one earns that much. It’s luck that he happened to be born to that life.

I don’t understand what that means. How does a wall take water out of the air and why is that wanted?
