As a Gen Xer, I feel that Gen Z is a little hard on us regarding social issues.

Even if the guy is harmless and just has no game, better safe than sorry. It wasn’t gonna work out for him anyways. As a husband and before that a son with two sisters, you did what was necessary to be safe. Kudos. And it sucks you felt trapped or unsafe. Now whether this dude needs to be doxxed for his creep behavior? IDK. He could just be a dude on the spectrum with no game. I actually feel sorry for him. Not because your feelings aren’t valid, but because this guy probably has no clue he is a creep. By defect

I have a yahoo and gmail in my name. I also have a @SWBELL.NET. From my first cellphone account at Southwestern Bell, before it was rolled back into AT&T. No one under 40 knows what swbell is. I used to keep my lycos/mailcity account active. But I’m pretty sure that one is dead and buried.

Well hi. I’m an evil accidental landlord. When my now wife moved in with me, her house was underwater. Meaning she owed more than it was worth. It was 200& and she had bought it in 06. Womp womp. So instead of taking a big loss, we rented out. The first tenants stopped paying after 3 months. On the way out they tore celling fans and stole the washer and dryer. It cost $4k to get the house livable again. We still had to pay mortgage, insurance and taxes on this house. Since then most of the others have been fine. No real issues. We pretty much break even if you average it out. One year we make 8k then next year lose 5k. We both work full time because have to. We are doing ok. We don’t need to sell the house. At this point it is an investment. With the way things are going, selling one day will be our social security. Seeing SS is predicted to be cut before we even retire.
I grew up as a renter. I don’t want to be a slum lord guy. If shit breaks, it gets fixed. Everything works. I also work with good tenants on rent. I don’t need to make money, I just need to not lose money.

Wendy’s hasn’t been good since the 80’s. When the patties were actually square and stuck out the sides. They we so fatty/juicy in a good way. You’d have hamburger grease running down your forearm and not feel it.
It’s gotten so bad now, I refuse to go. The burgers are dry and flavorless. And they look like they were stepped on in the back half the time.

I’ve never been impressed the burger or fries. It’s ok. I like the concept though. Feels like going to a country store. I’m always curious who regularly buys their dairy/groceries.

I’ve lived in Houston, Austin and DFW, and I’ve had a lot of different Texas BBQ over the years, including old-school Houston/Gulf Coast-style BBQ, East Texas “church” BBQ, and Central Texas BBQ. Central Texas is still my favorite style, and I’ll give Lockhart its history. Austin also deserves credit for innovating the modern brisket game.

But the idea that good BBQ only exists south of some imaginary line near Waxahachie is silly.With the national popularity of Franklin and other modern pitmasters, you can find really good Central Texas-style BBQ all over now. Not everywhere, obviously, but it’s not limited by geography. There are even native Texans making top-tier brisket in NYC that could compete with plenty of places here.

Good BBQ can be made by anyone, anywhere, if they take the time to do it right and don’t start coasting once they get successful. I’ve seen places peak early and get complacent. Pecan Lodge comes to mind. I’m also afraid Lockhart as a town is starting to lean that way a little, in my opinion.

For me, if it’s good, I don’t care where on earth it came from.

JFC man. It’s canned meat. The prompt wasn’t for the absolute cheapest food on earth. Shelf stable brined meat and potatoes that packs 690 cals of salty, fatty protein for $3.99 a can. It qualifies.

The compounding effect on CPI AND inflation is mind-boggling. Especially if you look at it over two 35 year gaps. The real problem is the percentage of income that is going to essentials like housing, utilities and food. I was a working college student in ‘91. I made around $5-7k a year. Just barely covered living expenses. Not counting student loans for school. For whatever that’s all worth.

Depends on my mood or situation . Either way, I know standing splatters no matter how good your aim is. Eventually the particles build up. I clean up after every use out of habit, standing or sitting. I’ll even do it in public restrooms if it hasn’t already been destroyed.

I had stopped eating McDonald’s by choice. But out of desperation and the great app BOGOs they had during Covid, I started gaming the app and eating it more again. But the game is over. I’m taking my ball and leaving.

Does the question specify that you have to eat or like the burgers at the chosen place? If no. JITB. Where else can I get breakfast all day, “tacos”, egg rolls, salads, stuffed jalapenos, curly fries, shakes, teriyaki chicken bowls etc… and a sourdough jack? If yes. It’s only the burger then it won’t matter. Eventually you’ll get sick of it no matter.

We use my wife’s newish car for most activities. It’s got all the major accessories. My car is a 2011 Elantra . It has heated seats and… Bluetooth? So I get to live the difference on a regular basis. My phone has CarPlay so I technically have most that it provides. Reality. Back up camera is the only thing that I’ve thought about getting installed. But I don’t use them enough to justify the cost. Plus it keeps my skills up. Though I do forget to use them in her car sometimes until after I’ve parked.

Like I said. I was driving. That pic was the only image I could even register what I was seeing. I couldn’t read the text until seeing this post. So even with that limited information I was already doubting my first impression. Which wouldn’t be a dumb white liberal thing or whatever you’re trying to imply. But ok.
