Europe will welcome them with open arms.

The next step in the authoritarian playbook will be to limit the movement of educated people. Soon enough, those people won't be able to leave even if they wanted to.

You might be onto something with the knock-off theory. I had Walmart shirts and underwear with the cornucopia logo.

That makes sense, that it would be your subconscious alerting. In a similar vein, whenever I know I need to shower first thing in the morning (as opposed to before bed), I often dream of showering on the bed. Yes, like standing on the mattress on top of all the sheets and pillows and blankets. Or at least somewhere in the bedroom, like on carpeted floor next to wooden furniture. I HATE those dreams so much but they keep happening.

You forgot the leaking pipes, so of course everything relatively safe to touch is also wet and cold.

Why does this remind me of foot binding

Congratulations! May your new life as homeowners bring you happiness!

Make sure you know where the water shutoff valves are, and that the electric breakers are labelled. And do not, I repeat, DO NOT start any DYI project on a Friday afternoon.

You're right, thank you for pointing it out. I'll change it.

Exercise outside (preferably in a natural setting) and with a group. Outdoor bootcamp is the holy grail for me. Reasons:

1. Outside air is easier to breathe than stale gym air

2. There's always something interesting to look at while you slowly die

3. Clumps of grass don't mind if I swear under my breath

4. PEER PRESSURE. IT WORKS.

5. At the end of the training session, ~~trauma~~ bonding with the rest of the group (edit: I misused the term trauma bonding)

What if only people who make over $500k annually can vote? Is that still a democracy?

Hobby: Telescopes upside-down or back-to-front, pointed through windows, with aperture caps on, without eyepieces, under heavy light pollution and glare, magically show Hubble-level images of something only visible from the opposite hemisphere.

Job: The Government knows everything about you and any employee can pull up any info on anyone in seconds. Ffs we can't even get two departments to cooperate on a common database format.

We have a shit-ton of projects on the go and zero free time (and energy). So today I decided to pay $6,000 and have someone repaint part of the house exterior. We don't have the time, skills, or tools to do it ourselves, and it will buy us some time until we can properly address the underlying issues.

And loon calls in totally the wrong biomes, even continents!
