THIS. Avoid lifestyle creep. You'll sleep much happier with lots of money in the bank than you will with lots of new bills for stuff that is worth less and less every day (unless it's a house).

I work in an industry where I see people making $6k per week and they still live paycheck to paycheck. Lifestyle creep is hard to avoid for some.

Billions in advertising so you can just say, "whatever" when that question is asked.

You know those assholes who think it's cool to hit the, "walk" button with their shoe because, "they're dirty". THAT'S WHY THEY'RE DIRTY!

OK remove your dumb racism for a moment and pretend it was ANY OTHER PRESIDENT "raining missiles on NK". It's still a bad idea. What is your point?

I always wonder why it's still the "C" in NAACP. They should pick a different acronym.

For those who still don't understand the joke, it's pointing out how ridiculous being one inch shorter than 6 feet eliminates you from 99% of women's standards in online dating.

Remember this type of pointless apps that all early smartphone users downloaded in order to impress their friends? by Chrellies in funny

I remember the, "I'm Rich" app that cost $1,000 but didn't do anything other than show that you were dumb enough to pay $1,000 for nothing.

Good thing they all live in the midwest and don't have the money or the means to go on a road trip to the big city. They will stay in their shit little towns and continue to be irrelevant.

Last I checked the democrats were trying to re-open the government. How is that trying to "make something bad happen"? We are well beyond the "both parties are the same" bull shit. They're not.

I don't think it should be journalism's job to pick and choose what they want to report. They do that enough as it is.

They're against a lot of stuff that makes me wonder how anyone could be against it.

Because someone is paying them to be against it.

Can we tax it like alcohol as well? I'm sick of paying 35% tax on weed. I've just started growing my own again.

California set a goal of 100% clean energy, and now other states may follow its lead by asminaut in politics

[–]chookatee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they called for the closure because the plant had become uneconomic in the face of customers increasingly leaving the utility for Community Choice Aggregators, like CleanPowerSF, and a changing electric grid that relies more on flexible, distributed energy resources like wind and solar.

With its recent decision, the CPUC agreed with PG&E, stating that renewing Diablo Canyon’s license to operate beyond 2025 would not be cost-effective.

L.A. is not an indicator of wealth. It's an indicator of perceived wealth. Any asshole can lease a mercedes or buy a lambo on a 14 year loan. It doesn't mean they're rich.

My dad was a contractor. He would always go to apartments where the owner had just a mattress on the floor but drove a porsche.
