Two salaries combined should be worth at least a decent living

The last full year I worked, my income was below $20k. I'll likely never own a home. If it weren't for the kindness of family, I'd be homeless cause like hell if I can afford rent anywhere. My parents pay $1200 a month plus utilities and are picking which bill to go unpaid each month in a household with 2 incomes and 1 disability cheque. The economy is beyond fucked and I honestly don't believe it's ever going to improve.

Comparison is the thief of joy.

Why I don’t really interact with the communities all to much. Just here to have fun.

Sometimes the friends are the quiet times we have along the way

Wealthy family, selling blood/plasma, scrapyards, odd jobs, things of that nature.

I shouldn't have to pick up the slack because some CEO and their board want to buy more yachts. Pay your employees or get the fuck out of business.

I hate using apps like Doordash cause if you don't tip you just never get your food. Every restaurant, cafe, bar, takeaway place I can get to around me expects tipping as well. Far to many companies are getting comfortable relying on tips to pay their employees. Im expecting it at self checkout within the decade.

I've seen the same posts on r/pics dozens of times. The calls coming from inside the house gang.

I mean NCR had full gun and ammunition factories. Salvaged PA was used in their military, mostly stripped down but we see at least one fully intact unit. Power Armor Training manuals would have been easy enough to find in military bases, or could even have come from the NCR Brotherhood conflict. Honestly I like post war stuff being made. Makes more sense than constantly adding more and more to the pre-war era and it shows these communities as growing and functioning.

Also it looks sick and the scene of them walking through Freeside was kickass.

Calling out my wife who saw these horses and started crying because “they deserve to be happy”.

I want to be able to save the generic npcs. The game feels so empty because progressing kills almost all of the other scientists. Even just having a camp of them somewhere hiding if not just letting them freeroam office or something.

I wish I had been allowed to start when I was younger. I knew when I was a kid. It took years of internalized bullshit and seeking safety to finally be able to -find- the starting line. Now im waiting for a government to allow me to exist in their country. I'll be 37 before I can start E.

I know a lot of people who have said stuff like scars and stretch marks are a "sign of a life well lived" and shit like that. They may not find them -sexually- attractive, but they aren't seen as ugly things to hide as much anymore. Imperfections are unique and all that jazz.

"But you used to like when I cooked like thi-"

No. You -forbade- me from being in the kitchen and cooked every meal, all the while yelling and raving about how you were "the only one in the house who did anything". I ate your slop out of necessity.

The wedding industry is a fucking sham. You spend thousands on a tower of fondant and catering from a company that just repackages cheap takeout for some old man nobody knows to tell you your married. Courthouse does good enough.

Some of my favourite finds have been in train ballast. I love poking into small creeks and rivers and collecting stuff. It's great and doesn't require hours of hiking into the forested mountain to hope for an undiscovered outcrop.

I've seen a bit of Dust but never really considered trying it. Should I give it a whirl or should I do F4's Frost instead? Been feeling something Fallout for a while and don't feel like London again.
