I like onions and peppers. They do not like me (understandable 🫩) and exact their fiery indigestive revenge every time I dare eat more of their ranks

i still see people help others with heavy/unwieldy loads up the subway stairs though. especially if they’re in the way lol

What I’ve been doing is shuffling the debt between new 0% APR intro-period cards every time the 0% of the previous card is going to expire, and just eating the cost of the balance transfer (usually 3–5%) which is still significantly lower than if the balance were to start getting hit by typical card APR (~25%)

I have considered doing bankruptcy but yeah I’m worried about wage garnishment. Also I had wanted to maybe buy a houseboat within the next 7 years but at this point that’s almost certainly off the table so it may actually be worth just looking into bankruptcy at this point.

Right now I’m more focused on getting a full time job since my freelance stuff has been too slow to pay all the bills…

Being a grownup is so boring I hate this

About 2 years’ worth of rent (I live in NYC, to give an idea) in credit cards and a similarly large chunk in student loans

I was someone who paid off my balance in full at the end of every month for about 10 years, then bam, COVID, more fuck shit, rent needing to be paid via credit card several months (even more expensive as they take a usually 5% or more fee), and here we are

Spending money. Thorough a combination of a lot of bad luck and a few bad choices, I’m stuck playing credit card musical chairs to keep enough cash for rent and bills. “Ability to buy groceries/toiletries/medical copays/etc.” is functionally a subscription for me. Few years of rice and beans in my future until I can dig myself out… good thing I like beans I guess

The worst I can imagine (aside from housing…) would be the others in Maslow’s pyramid base: air, water, food, clothing.

• Air would be some straight up cyberpunk shit.
• Water/food would also be horrifying. We currently see meal subscriptions as a luxury, but for those without access to a kitchen and/or with disabilities that prevent them from reliably using one… ah fuck that’s dismal.
• Clothing would be fuckin weird. Because such a ridiculous volume of it exists due to fast fashion, I can’t see this happening on Earth in the near future, thankfully.

you can be the mouse fixer of the friend group. trade fixed mice for casseroles and rides to the airport

i gifted one of these, they’re awesome lol

DELCO MENTIONED

(haha fuck i am so glad i left that shithole)

that genuinely sounds more appetizing to me than actual eggnog lol

oh man anyone that concerned with not being filmed or recorded probably fled years ago. the amount of public and private security cameras and prevalence of people filming here gives the UK a run for its money

Midtown Manhattan absolutely still gets this crowded, especially near Times Square and K-Town. Like other commentors are saying, it really depends on the location in NYC, time of year, and time of day.

Also, if a shot in a film doesn’t feature an actor interacting with the set significantly (having conversation, looking in store window, etc.) there’s a decent chance it’s stock footage of the actual street conditions.

There’s a reason New Yorkers hate going to Times Square :]

as a new yorker i support nyc secession lol

look how they massacred my boy

caffeine breaks down at vaporization temperatures, though. I know this as a former vape user and current caffeine addict lol

i bought too many board games

if a woman used this line on me my response would be “wait here a few minutes i need to pop into the nearest jewelry store”

my (uneducated) guess is some combination of catering to degraded attention spans, intentional manipulation of that degraded attention by malicious actors, and somehow it’s more profitable for the media companies to do news like this

GS execs really did a fat line and said “lol what if we subject our wagies to crackhead craigslist”
