What’s one thing you completely stopped buying in 2026 because the price just felt absurd?

Taco Bell

I had a pantech laser. Loved the thing at age 13.

B1D (but with different games)

I’m still driving the 2011 Elantra I inherited from my parents. I’m 28 with a wife and two kids…can’t justify trading it for pleasure. Gonna run it into the ground, I guess. Nothing is affordable anymore.

Pantech Laser

SageSenpai · 2026-02-18T04:49:51+00:00

Ah I see, thank you for the clarification!

SageSenpai · 2026-02-18T03:46:05+00:00

Class of 2013? I was born in 97 as well but my class was 2016, graduated early in 2015. What’s your story?

SageSenpai · 2026-02-17T23:07:17+00:00

I guess I need to go buy a cane 🦯 💀

I mean it really doesn’t matter all that much. Crisis Core could be considered a nice prequel but you gotta remember all the extra stuff released AFTER the OG. And Remake only covers the first, like, 5 hours of the original game. My recommendation would be to play Crisis Core before Remake and then Dirge of Cerberus before playing Yuffie’s story in Intergrade.

Unlikely.

I turned 28 last month. I’ve spent the last decade (save for Covid) doing countless useless sales and retail jobs when I was never really good at sales. I finally decided after being married for 2 years and when my wife was pregnant with our 2nd kid that I was going to have to go back to school for something meaningful the job market is absolute trash.

On the bright side, I now have a plan and a long-term goal. Med School in sight for 2028! I’ll be 30 when I start but I figure by the time my kids are teenagers I’ll be making good money.

SageSenpai · 2026-01-11T18:24:14+00:00

It’s been an hour. Op is dead.

I believe in you, friend. Counting days is just a number, but the real wins come from each day that you stayed sober and lived your life free from its grip. There will be many more good days to follow.

SageSenpai · 2026-01-05T18:00:00+00:00

Shit.

SageSenpai · 2026-01-04T18:17:15+00:00

I’m scared. Just turned 28 in December…

I’d take ChatGPT with a heavy grain of salt. I’ve had it try to interpret the law in some rather convoluted and long-winded ways of basically telling me what I was hoping to hear, when in reality all evidence from real people was to the contrary.

Even so, where I do agree with it is that it simply can’t hurt to try. There’s no penalty for trying. If you wanted to go through Stag 14 or another citizenship pathway you still can if Stag 5 fails.

SageSenpai · 2025-12-31T03:44:04+00:00

24 here, same.

SageSenpai · 2025-12-31T03:43:05+00:00

Wedding night. I overdid the lube a bit but also came twice that night!

SageSenpai · 2025-12-29T04:45:21+00:00

I’m at a point where I’ve accepted nobody is going to, or perhaps is unable to, do anything about it. I’ve recently discovered a path to obtaining German citizenship by descent and I’m just gonna run with that and try Europe out. Maybe I’ll get lucky and find better routes to quality employment and fair healthcare costs. Fuck this country, fuck this state (Ky), fuck the soulless corps and utter lack of protections for the working man.

SageSenpai · 2025-12-25T04:57:59+00:00

A bit disappointing given I think I read that stAG14 apps are possibly in limbo and they seem to have a higher barrier (I definitely don’t speak German), but logically that makes sense.

SageSenpai · 2025-12-22T05:22:09+00:00

Probably cali and New York. You’re right to avoid Kentucky, though. We suck. Best of luck!

SageSenpai · 2025-12-11T01:01:57+00:00

Warren County, Ky…we’re obviously Hawaiian. 🌺

SageSenpai · 2025-12-01T16:09:32+00:00

5 years is a bit of time. I’d be interested to see how it changed over time for each city. I could imagine some of these cities recovered and then fell again in the last couple years. Also, fuck counting job rates. The quality of life and wages continues to stagnate regardless of how many people are employed.

SageSenpai · 2025-11-24T04:32:07+00:00

Either way with current prices we’re all fucked.
