Too expensive. Not owner repairable. Too much unnecessary tech baked in.

There’s a path forward for EV’s, but I don’t think the current philosophy is it.

According to a financial advisor I recently spoke with, it’s not. Guess I’ll be working all the way into my grave. 🤷‍♂️

Currently using a combination of Plexamp, WinAmp, Bandcamp and Apple Music.

Spotify is an evil company. Bad for artists, bad for consumers. I’m glad to have quit using their service.

Twitter has never been great, just easy to use and widely adopted. It’s gotten worse under Musk and mostly appeals to the worst people left on the platform.

So Pearl Jam isn’t just a dumb group of kids that know nothing?

Just another huge ass company that values short term profits over its employees and customers. Probably won’t be buying any more of their products.

Some say the slam was so hard the shockwaves were felt on the other side of the globe.

Dump-truck-ass Pixar Moms are my kryptonite.

03 Ford Focus. Terrible transmission, on board computer fried, all kinds of random engine and sensor issues. Finally found an honest mechanic that said it would cost more to fix everything wrong with it than to just take the L and get a new car. Took a loss on the loan and bought a Camry. Best decision I could’ve made. Nothing but Toyota since.

Back in the day we used to call this price gouging or price fixing when the cost of an item would increase based on sudden demand, or due to an emergency, etc. That used to be illegal, but I guess it’s okay in fucking Mad Max world now.

“How Long” by How to Destroy Angels. It’s a better post-apocalyptic story than most theatrical productions in just under 4 minutes.

Call their bluff. There’s a lot of money for this kind of service in the metro. Big rideshare is just trying to maintain the status quo.

I have a friend that will only chat with me on Instagram. I have his number, but he will never respond to text. He only engages in insta, it’s mildly infuriating.

🤡

LOL, This is the best financial unit of measurement to describe all government spending moving forward.

Frey isn’t going to last long here. Lots of Minnesotans dislike him across the political spectrum, for obvious reasons.

I was disengaged before becoming remote, and that has more to do with the lack of value my employer has for us than the work I’m doing or the location from which I do it from.

Pay us more, treat us like humans, stop catering to short term investors.

Similar to when my cat died. I’m still sad 2 years later, but the memories are fond and when I see a photo of her it brings me more joy than sadness. I know I gave her the best life and I continue to do the same for my current pets. Yes life is short and feels fleeting, but if I could give my cat the life I gave her a second time , I’d do it again every time.

The worst was when some banks would reorder their transactions so everything posted before your paycheck. Even though I’d make my deposit before writing checks for rent, insurance, phone bill etc, magically all those clear before the deposit then I’d be like -$700 in the red before payday again. I went to the bank (TCF, now Huntington) to plead my case but they didn’t care. I closed my account there and went to a more reputable bank. Never was a problem again. Now the practice of banks reordering transactions is illegal, I believe.
