I got a vasectomy as a way of dealing with it.

These people are a mix of toxic masculinity and absolutely childish fear and paranoia.

They are, as you say, obsessed to the point of it being a problem that they need professional help with.

Billionaires are that guy that breaks an egg in his elbow and thinks he’s built different because of that.

Have you seen Iron Sky?

Of all the movies I’ve seen this year, this was one of them.

Let’s say, universal left.

Fuck, this hits close to home. Big part of the toxicity in my marriage was my wife (who had been diagnosed without telling me…) treating me like everything I struggled with was normal and everyone else managed despite it.

This is what I do. I don’t like the ingredients that make up antiperspirants so I stick with not stinking.

I generally don’t sweat too badly either, which helps.

Oh nice. I’ll be able to go opening weekend. Gonna be in Vegas on the 15th celebrating my birthday.

I can’t HEAR YOU!!!

Out of curiosity, are you still a practicing Mormon?

Yep. ‘Never again’ is a threat, not a resolution.

It’s happened to me every night for a week. :/

Oh yea 💯

It’s just gonna take a while. My PITI is 3350/month.

God I wish my mortgage was cheaper than rent lol.

I’m also anti-landlord, because of how the system is built. But if someone was independently wealthy and approached it as a philanthropic endeavor it could be different and solve the housing crisis for at least some. I wouldn’t be in it to make money, I’d be in it to give people that need somewhere to live a place that they can afford. And yes, eventually buy if they want to, though not everyone with limited income can afford the up front costs associated with owning (like when an appliance breaks, or there’s another problem with the building) so I understand why some wouldn’t want to. But if I had the means to take a loss on it, and did, it feels very different than the capitalist landlord squeezing tenants to make their salary.

Those are def rookie numbers for the flights, hotels, dinners, and shows. X20 those and you’re in millionaire spending territory.

Quit my job

Pay off and renovate my house.

Buy a new car, something nice but not over the top.

Set up services for my neighborhood to drag the people round me out of poverty and ensure every kid gets the chance to get a good education.

Ensure all housing in my neighborhood is up to code and in good shape/safe to be lived in.

Pay off the debt of every person in my neighborhood, prioritizing medical and student debt.

Buy the people I love the things they need, set up trusts for their kids, pay off their debt, help them financially without enabling them into their bad habits.

Feels like that should probably reach $20m fairly quickly.

Become a landlord that makes housing actually accessible driving down prices and providing safe places for people in my neighborhood to live.

If you don’t need to for safety or sanity, don’t. Now is a bad time to try and set out on your own.

If you must move out from your parents, find someone to do it with, not a romantic partner but a platonic one that you can be good roommates with (maybe harder than finding a romantic partner lol). Going alone these days is near impossible unless you’re already well off me have a healthy safety net, something most people don’t have today.

I’m still not sure if this just will ever impact me since I don’t use the Hue app at all. Everything I HomeKit or home assistant.
