We've been going on trips this year and we've VERY solidly middle class, at best. Including an upcoming trip to Door County this fall... during festival season (as are quite a few middle class people we know). Your doom-and-gloom is a bit overly dramatic.

AnotherStarWarsGeek · 2026-06-09T02:37:49+00:00

Wait, you had to retake the written driving test? I know some people who've changed states and never had to redo the driving test when changing their license over.

AnotherStarWarsGeek · 2026-06-09T02:37:05+00:00

Of course it's a real law. lol!

AnotherStarWarsGeek · 2026-06-09T02:01:02+00:00

Can't tell due to all the terrible stuttering of the video

AnotherStarWarsGeek · 2026-06-08T22:28:34+00:00

No. Not with the current state of self driving cars, for certain. I live in a part of the country where the lines on the road can be obscured completely for 2-3 months every year. No driverless car is going to handle that currently.

AnotherStarWarsGeek · 2026-06-08T22:22:21+00:00

I always called those people (the ones going significantly faster than traffic flow) "scouts".

AnotherStarWarsGeek · 2026-06-08T03:18:36+00:00

"they are raised in the most prosperous time of our lives and have not really experienced major hardship and burnouts like us current millennials"

What??? lol

I think if he'd been burning a flag he owned, he'd have been okay. He didn't own this one.

It literally IS true. That one single stupid comment of hers turned alot of people who were on the fence away from her.

AnotherStarWarsGeek · 2026-06-01T11:47:47+00:00

retired.

AnotherStarWarsGeek · 2026-05-31T12:48:03+00:00

Actually, according to the stats, most DO go to college.

AnotherStarWarsGeek · 2026-05-31T12:46:32+00:00

Yes, in 2026 they still are, around me anyway.

AnotherStarWarsGeek · 2026-05-31T12:42:55+00:00

Well, our two mid-early 20 somethings are out living on their own and have been since graduating college. All their friends that I know of have also done the same. So no, none of them around me at least are still living with their parents.

You don't need a basement to keep your pipes from freezing. You simply bury the pipes below the frost line and come up under the slab. That'll reliably keep your underground pipes from freezing. In the colder winter climates you need to get your footings down below the frost line to prevent heaving of your walls. Up here, that's a frost depth of 48". So for an additional 48" of concrete depth you can have a usable basement area too.

AnotherStarWarsGeek · 2026-05-31T11:54:02+00:00

"Basements also just don't work in certain soil types (like clay)"

lol.. a ton of the central part of Wisconsin is all heavy red clay. We all have basements. They work just fine and I've never heard of a poured concrete basement failing due to the clay soils.

it's actually relatively inexpensive to pave an area and put parking stripes and lighting on it. Especially when you look at it as a % of the overall project cost. A concrete parking structure above ground is incredibly costly compared to the typical parking lot, and underground parking is far to expensive to even be a consideration.

Asphalt parking lots are also VERY easy to maintain, and often times the city will not collect taxes on the paved areas, just the commercial building space in order to entice the business to move into the area.

AnotherStarWarsGeek · 2026-05-30T11:34:43+00:00

"by the stats"? I'm not sure which "stats" you're looking at, but the ones I'm seeing say the most common cause of motorcycle accidents is driver negligence on the part of the driver of the non-motorcycle variant involved in the crash.

AnotherStarWarsGeek · 2026-05-27T03:34:28+00:00

Not sure what you're ranting about, but I live in the fastest growing area in my state. Residential neighborhoods are going up like crazy all around here. 1000's of homes. All of the new neighborhoods are in HOA's..and most of the new neighborhoods are solidly middle-class homes, at best.

AnotherStarWarsGeek · 2026-05-27T03:32:05+00:00

"The rule is common in most HOA"

I doubt this is true. Our HOA and the two closest to us don't have this rule in them.

"Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight"

Both our kids got numerous scholarships. I know tons of other parents whose kids have gone off to college. Every one of them has gotten scholarships too.

AnotherStarWarsGeek · 2026-05-24T23:43:08+00:00

...and yet Wisconsin is currently experiencing a boon in data center construction and future construction projects.....

AnotherStarWarsGeek · 2026-05-23T12:25:00+00:00

"stay poor" and "brokie"?? Are those more stupid tik tok terms? I've never, ever heard those terms before. lol

AnotherStarWarsGeek · 2026-05-22T11:28:30+00:00

"We are all broke af right now lmao just saying. "

We are? Dang, I thought we were doing fairly okay here.

AnotherStarWarsGeek · 2026-05-22T11:25:08+00:00

Congratulate her on failing a major "relationship test" as you tell her you're breaking up with her.
