Gotcha, yeah I think I was looking at the YouTube TV thing.

When I first started driving I was terrified all the time, but over time fear disappeared. It gets easier with experience.
I seriously thought about it but I wasn't down for paying $80 a month.
I actually look forward to seeing this meme. Thank you for posting!
Idk how it's relavant to them that you are basically a van dweller. As long as you are taking care of yourself (eating healthy, exercising, showing, and whatever else) then it doesn't matter.
Maybe if there was some treatment that required you to have access to facilities you need in a house but I can't think of anything. This is one of those times I would omit or just say you live in a house.
Just make sure you're stashing away some cash in an account so you can replace your ride or put a down payment on a house if you decide you do want something a little less mobile some day.
I paid 285$ a few months ago for a refurbished HP from New Egg. It's perfect for shoving in a bag and for writing. The charge lasts something like 4 hours if I sit there with it open. It'll last 2-3 days on my desk when I open it occasionally. I have it set to go to sleep after 15 minutes.

I used to own an Acer Alpha Switch. I was legitimately sad when the screen cracked. The battery had started to go bad and turn into a pillow. I broke the screen when I was in the process of trying to put it back together. Acer has some newer models I was looking at which were more in the 450$ price range at the time. I ended up going with HP instead because of the price and because I've never had any beef with their products with the exception of their printers.
That's wonderful! He seems like he found what he likes.
My step son can't even remember how to make a hot pocket.
There was a Twitch channel that featured AI Trump and Biden debating. They've changed it to Trump and Kamala now https://www.twitch.tv/trumporkamala2024 might be worth a watch for such content.
I remember there were some cases of pensions disappearing about 20 years ago so you're not imagining it. I can't find any stories on it but yeah there were people who went to retire their pensions were just gone.
I found this on investopia while I was looking:
"A number of situations could put your pension at risk, including underfunding, mismanagement, bankruptcy, and legal exemptions. Laws exist to protect you in such circumstances, but some laws provide better protection than others."
So maybe they all sued the out of those companies and tapped into past insurance policies to get paid and that's why it's not really talked about.
Bottom line is that if someone else has your money, it's in their control. If you have the money in your 401k, you can watch it and control it.
I grew up using this word all the time. It's just one of the dumb words we said all the time. I only found out within the last couple of years that it's considered a slur. Idk, I feel most people who are actually considered retarded and are competent enough to understand don't actually care. But the reality is that any sort of "name calling" isn't necessary. I grew up with a culture of all sorts of name calling, but just because I grew up with doesn't mean it's right.
But ultimately, language and the world changes and it's just not acceptable to say anymore because it is derogatory towards a particular group.
I few months back I had to shut off all of my sources of news because all the Palestinian horror stories were fucking with my head. I wanted to in touch with what is happening in the world but it was all too much.
I have to agree with the post on being "properly bored" too. I've been dealing with general burnout too and spending time doing nothing and getting lost in my own head has done wonders.

I've kinda learned over time what is appropriate for what through personal experience or by listening to others. I also ask myself questions like can it wait a couple of days? Being in America I also ask myself is it worth going to the ER for this? Someone mentioned too that a lot of insurance companies now have nurses you can call for this sort of help.
If you genuinely think it's life threatening, go to the ER. If it's something that isn't life threatening but should be taken care of ASAP, then Urgent care is a good choice. Something like a broken bone, stitches. They have a lot of equipment. If they can't treat you or discover it's something worse they will send you to the ER.
I had an issue with heart palpitations a few year ago. I went to my primary care doctor and then went to a specialist. I think total it cost like 300$ or something. I was worried it was something worse yeah it turned out to be stress and anxiety. But the specialist did rule out any heart problems which included those scary ones where healthy people drop dead. That was worth the peace of mind. If I had gone to the urgent care they would have ruled out any immediate life threatening conditions and then have you follow up with your pcp or maybe get you to the specialist.
