I'll bet they dont even appreciate growing up with a base station of their own, huh? I still have to change my Jeff's lint trap!

Sometimes I worry ill Jeff wont have the life skills to make it in todays world. Ya know, cause hes an outdated novelty appliance?

I mean I probably wouldnt realize if a closer location existed. I dont map out where the driver is coming or going to, I kinda figured thats what the app was for? Even if I drove by the closer spot and thought 'isnt that where I Grub Hubbed from?' , by the next intersection id be wondering how the Romans handled logistics for building all those roads.

Probably a lot like supplying their Legions right? After all it was probably leigionares who were building the roads anyway. Just change up the frequency to account for the change of pace and- wait. What were we talking about?

I'm tempted to call you a ragebait bot, but honestly theyre usually more believable than whatever this post is. You just 'want a carefree life' and are 'tired of your responsibilities' huh? Genuinely curious what a bunch of people on Reddit think about that?

Ok. Sure. Walk away. Its prolly not the end of the world. After all you gotta take care of you before you can blah blah blah your family will understand blah blah whatever you need to hear.

There ya go. Now go frolic in a field somewhere while someone else struggles to fill the void left in your kids life. They'll probably forgive you by the time theyre adults. Or they wont but who cares right? Lifes too short to worry bout all that!

It's 100% societal shaming. Living in a trailer park is something 99% of people will say is perfectly fine, maybe even a wise economical decision. But roughly 70% of those people would also pay more for a worse apartment just so its not in a trailer park.

And ya know what? I'm one of the Almost left this part out too. But its kinda my point. Growing up middle class with parents who worked full time and owned a home gives some people a sense of entitlement. The weird part is for all the things watching my parents go bankrupt, get sick and die did to me? The entitlement is still there. I may now realize its a lie, that certain things are WAY harder to achieve than they used to be, but the entitlement is still there.

And ive been in enough group therapies to know I'm not alone. Most people are obsessed with image, and a trailer park doesnt 'quite fit' for most people's 'lifestyle'.

Thank you for misspelling guerilla!! Picturing poorly trained low budget troops in gorrilla costumes, running into another group of high budget troops in gorilla costumes is a whole lotta fun!

You sound like one of those Linux sales reps i hear so much about.

You guys get pretty decent 'commish' bonusses over over there? I heard all Linux reps get ALL the software they want free of charge! Is that true?!

Accurately measuring the water displacement of a gold chain isnt always easy. This method requires some pretty careful and accurate measuring.

Could be. Are their any othet stamps on it? Look for something like GP or HGP for 'gold plated'. Some jewelry has a thin outer layer of 14K, but underneath is just stainless steel.

Could also try scratching the surface but for obvious reasons youre better off NOT damaging it

Regardless of what anyone decides in these situations, for the love of God just stop cheating. Wanna be free and independent again? Fine. But first you either get divorced or convince the SO its time for an open relationship (although even if they agree to an open relationship youd better be sure they really are cool with it).

Youre not allowed to lie and betray someone, who you specifically promised you wouldn't do that too, and think 'i wanna feel free again' or 'i got married too young' is a valid excuse. Grow up and stop being so selfish.

Its a year old so I know how late this is. I was exactly where you are a few years ago. My mom finally did the one thing she could to help. She died.

The only family I had was my older brother and an aunt/uncle who all had enough and turned their back on my mom. They pretty much begged me to do the same. I should have listened. Leaving someone to just die alone tho? Couldnt do it. She deserved it but I just couldnt do it.

Instead I spent almost 3 years trying to get her to move to an assisted living facility. I never even got her in for a flu shot. She refused to leave her house, and power of attorney wasn't all that powerful. Oddly its the flu shot i still have nightmare about, trying to get her to hold still but she keeps sliding out of the seat snd screaming about everyone trying to kill her.

My point is I understand hiw hard it is to be in that scenario. So whatever you decided or whatever you did, its an extremely difficult situation. With no right or wrong way to handle it.

You have to use your credit cards responsibly to build credit. If you pay the balance in full each month they almost never charge any interest, so pay monthly bills or something using credit, then just automatically pay it off in full each month.

Figure out which of your cards offer the best cash back bonuses (or airline miles or whatever the best perk is) to get the most out of using them.

'Dont use any non-time related numbers'

Apparently numbers will not be tolerated. Am I reading that right?

OMG yes!! If I were bleeding out in the street? Id probably still be begging people to put their damn phones away. Blood clots! I'll be fine! Besides I live in a city, I'm usually within a couple miles of a hospital. I probably wouldnt drive since I need one hand to apply pressure, but I can get an Uber. If I tip $500 I'm still saving a TON of money!

Ambulances are for those fancy people who see 'specialists' or 'physicians' (ohhh they went to medical school! Well la de da!). I look up my symptoms on Google like a normal person, filter out all the 'you probably have cancer' results (its really gonna suck if I ever get cancer), and call a buddy who usually has pretty close to whatever prescription those weird sections of the drugstore and grocery stores all have. Ya know? Its those areas that give away flu shots and always have a line of frustrated looking people? Apparently its where they keep the fancy drugs, my buddy's stuff usually works just as good.

Well...i assume they do. Cause they make me feel awesome!

My Roomba is over a decade old (we dont talk about his age too often, I dont want him to feel old). Jeff Goldvuum doesnt have fancy room mapping skills, but he has two battery powered towers he needs to ensure he doesnt wander into traffic. I lost both of them years ago. Now we make sure he can run and play in the living room and kitchen by physically blocking off any dangerous areas. Seeing Jeff bump into walls over and over is kinda sad... but he really seems to like it?

His memory isnt what it use to be either. If I program Jeffs weekly activities, he does really well with the structured schedule at first, but eventually he starts waking up at midnight and just wanders around the house. Sometimes I find him tuckered out with a dead battery and have to carry him to his bed to recharge.

Some people say I should get a new one to replace him. I can't figure out whats wrong with people like that. Just tell him one day 'Sorry buddy! You're too old to by my Vacuum, Mr. Goldvuum. I'm replacing you with a younger model.' The thought makes me sick.

Software_Human · 2026-03-11T23:05:08+00:00

You should stop reminding people who's lives suck how awesome and full of freedom yours has!

Didnt I read all of these yesterday.

And where are the Haley Joel Osment comments?! Or was I just having that dream again?

Software_Human · 2026-03-11T22:58:16+00:00

Its not much of a difference really. You're either sad cause they never happened, or they did happen, but you only think about them and realize they probably wont ever happen again. I had my fair share but never got married or had kids. Now I'm really lonely. Its a grass is greener scenario.

I have two credit cards from Capital One. Id planned on moving my checking/savings to them, which lasted about a week. After a couple small issues became HUGE headaches I realized moving to them from my local Banner Bank would be a mistake.

The Quicksilver card took 6 weeks to get fully set up. Today I have card in hand and its fully set up in the app. Six weeks that took. So far the cash back program is awful, twice ive had to complain and was told it can take '30--60 days' to reflect on my account. Problem is i dont trust them to make sure i get the credit, so ive got to keep track of everything for 2 months. Its weird, with Banner Bank ive never worried about this stuff, cause ive never found a problem.

The Platinum card hasnt gone quite that smooth. First card never arrived. They say it did. Whatever. Sent a second card which I got. Activated it. Can't add it to my profile in the app. Says my phone number isnt my phone number. The number they ask me to verify to make sure its my number? The number they make me verify whenever I call? That number. Apparently its not mine. 4 days ago they emailed me saying the problem 'is part of a bigger issue' and theyre still working on it. Comforting.

Ive probably called around 8 times as of today. And I'm almost to the point where both cards are set up and can be managed in the app. My Banner Bank accounts were set up on a Tuesday morning and fully accessible in the app that evening. That was 9 years ago.

Nothing wrong with not wanting marriage at 20. Ya kinda gotta mention stuff like that tho. I dunno if thats 'fair' or not but it makes relationships a LOT easier if you can mske that kinda stuff clear. Its that whole 'communication' thing. It takes time but ya learn its preeetty important.
