Pay off debts. Save and invest. Maybe build a new pc. I’d really like to EV convert an old Ford Ranger I’ve got.

If they’re reliant on Google’s other services, that could prove problematic to switch.

That’d be fine if I was alone, but I have my wife to worry about and there is no way I’m leaving her to be homeless.

Ding ding ding. We can’t get healthcare if we’re unemployed, we’ve been broke for a long time, and we can’t pay the rent if we lose our jobs. Calling out to protest when our bosses can fire us for literally any reason means we’re inches from homelessness at any given time.

If things go how a lot are thinking they’ll go, early this week sometime ideally.

LenOhNo.

As a white man, even when I’ve got it rough, my life is 20 times easier than if I was anything else. Women can’t even walk down the street without at least the thought a man they walk by might suddenly rape them. A black man can’t walk down the street without worrying about a cop deciding it’s their day to die. Meanwhile, I can walk down the street and not worry about a damn thing other than my heart rate.

It pains me daily that I can’t fix it. It pains me more that men that look just like me have done those awful things and will do those awful things and I’m looked down on by everyone that isn’t a straight white man because of it. And I’m still better off than the vast majority of folks, even though I have trouble paying rent most months.

So, the life lesson I’ve learned? Don’t leave the apartment. Seems to work pretty well for me.

I drive the speed limit…

This meme explains perfectly why my wife and I have decided not to have children.

Yeah, this boils down to a manufacturing engineering problem. There’s some process happening during assembly that’s resulting in these slipping by… or being allowed by.

EDIT: And I mean, yeah, the thing could’ve been designed better from the get go, but that ship sailed long ago.

Good. Go away.
