One last call for free DIYs before I yeet them all to Timmy and Tommy

Id be interested in several of these. Can bring you songs.

In the case of custom designs, it should be up to the bakery making it. Refusing service outright is discrimination, but no one should also be forced to design something they dont want to. I think their beliefs are bigoted and they are shit people for it, but they didnt have to make that cake. If someone came in and asked for a penis shaped cake for a bachelorette party and the bakery refused, should that also be discrimination?

I was chatting with a financial planner about this, and its not just ignorant poor people who fall into credit card debt. He had clients who were professionals - lawyers, doctors, etc - who had enormous credit cad debt from frivolous spending. The only difference really is that they were able to justify to themselves even greater sums of debt.

Sounds like some people have incredibly poor impulse control, and the same mindset that gets them hooked on drugs also gets them hooked on CC spending.

My dad started his own business back in late 90s. He was making $150-200k a year. And his credit card was always maxed out. He would spend his money on the dumbest shit all the time. Mostly on my brother. New mustang convertible for him, apartment downtown, clothing, allowance, etc. He would give my mom extra in alimony and child support which was nice of him, but my mom also is a spender and just maxed out her cards. She also has a gambling problem. I dont really know where all that extra money went.

After 9-11, my dads business tanked and he stupidly just threw so much money at it until he had to declare bankruptcy. Then he bought himself $15k in furniture, on credit cards, that he then abandoned with my brother to fly off and live in another province with his wife. My mom never bothered to get a job because she just wanted to milk him dry. Both my parents now have nothing in their retirement but credit card debt.

For the longest time I completely avoided credit cards. I saw them as this gateway into the abyss. But I learned to be careful about it. If my husband and I wanted to, we could use up about $100k on just credit cards alone. But we only put our monthly purchases and pay off the balance every time. Then we stay at nice hotels like the Ritz-Carlton for free. Take that fucking credit lenders.

Celsius makes the most sense. 0 = freezing, 100 = boiling

Fahrenheit is dumb. Ive lived in the US now for 8 years and I still prefer Celsius. I also miss the metric system in general.

Just look at this handsome face

Twin brother alert

I wear spf 50 on my face whenever I go out. I also stay in the shade at the beach and wear lots of sunscreen too. Im pasty white but I have minimal wrinkles. Id rather be pasty with no wrinkles than tanned and leathery.

Same here and Im stuck in calls and meetings all day. Dont feel like talking to anyone at all.

Credit card means free rewards and good credit score, if used correctly. Ive stayed at 5 star hotels with mine for free. We just pay off the statement balance every month. But some people are really bad with money and should not own them. Most of my family members (my mom, dad, brother and sister) have maxed out cards where they are stuck paying endless interest on. If someone only uses debit cards, then I tend to think they lack discipline or know they are bad with money.

No, I usually get a call the day after.

Tank is in boxes if anyone wants him

I had a major meteor shower a couple of weeks back with no announcement at all. I got my 200 wishes then.

Wasnt there that mid 60s lady that catchfished some people here?

*asks for peoples opinions*

*gets angry and defensive at opinions they dont like*

Im pretty damn good.

Ive had the best luck with mahi mahi on raining mystery islands.

You could have just ask instead of being rude and assuming you know people.

We were in my studio while I was inking a sample page for an upcoming independent comic and I was trying to show her what I'd worked on, while she was trying to tell me about finally saying no to talking to her drug addict half-brother.

She got mad because I glossed over her saying that, but tbf I was telling her about the comic and showing her and she interrupted in the middle of it to tell me that.

Yup, you seem overly dramatic. Sounds like you were just butthurt she interrupted you. Theres just no need to have a big talk about needing friends because she doesnt have the exact interests you do, unless she is specifically against that. And then you have other issues to worry about.

Couples tend not to have every single interest in common. Having other friends is natural. The fact that you felt the need to make it an issue because she interrupted you talking to tell you about something important to her says a lot tbh. I also think shes overly sensitive as well btw. I cant imagine getting upset because my husband wanted to make friends with people who have a love for war movies, for example. But given how you said you explained it poorly, I do wonder how you went about it and what you said exactly.

I think she handled it poorly. But I also dont see why you brought it up at all. Do you need her permission to get friends or something? Why make an announcement of it?

You both kinda sound like overly sensitive people.

Theres also the 1-2-3-4 cake. Its the easiest cake ever. Its the first one I learned as a kid. My grandma taught it to me

https://www.bakefromscratch.com/basic-1-2-3-4-cake/

Banana bread is pretty easy (the trick for moist banana bread is sour cream). My go to for fast and easy baking though is shortbread cookies.

You just need:
2 cups flour
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup butter, softened
a teaspoon of vanilla

Mix it all together, form into balls and put them in a pan thats greased and floured. Flatten them with your palms. Bake 350F for 15-17 minutes. They arent too sweet and are delicious with coffee.

if you want to get into the math, my rent is currently $800 a month....the condo would cost $2.5k a month. the condo is one block over from my apartment. i believe the math still favors the condo long term, but ouch...that's a lot more money

and before anyone asks, yes i can afford that

Thats freaking cheap rent. Honestly, Id take my time and save for a house over a condo for that much of a price difference. My husband and I stayed in a 1 bedroom apartment for 5 years while saving. We were very tempted to upgrade to 2 bedrooms and almost signed on a least but just opted to save instead. It was worth the wait. The HOA fees here are ridiculous for condos ($300-400)

Worth buying over renting, though a house is still better. But you can always rent out your condo when you are ready to buy a house. My brother did this with his condo. It just pays for itself at this point.

My husband just pretends to go along with what they want then puts them on hold forever. They cant hang up until you do. He had one for an hour on hold. He ended up cussing my husband out and waiting for my husband to hang up, but he wouldnt and it was hilarious. The scammer ended up hanging up but you could tell he was furious.

I havent been in a cubicle for years. I had one when I started off in my company but then I got an office that I share with a coworker. Our company is casual dress. Before covid, and tshirts were fine. Some people came in shorts and flip flops.

I love my office and my coworker so thats awesome too. We had our stock of tequila, candy, cookies and ramen lol. Always had music playing too. We had a TV and wanted to use it to stream shows but our VP was next door half the week and would drop in randomly to say hi.

Pepperoni, onions, mushrooms and bell peppers.

I remember tiny chad! Make out with him then ghost him.

I changed Tanks catchphrase to bro and now Roald is saying it too lmao

Just got a check for close to $400. I guess because my husband was unemployed for a half of 2018. I didnt really think about it because I thought we still made more jointly. Free $1000 this month with that and the settlement check I got.

Still need to decide what buy.

Yes it would be bad. Return it and theyll cut you a new one when you have the wedding.

I canceled my first wedding 2 days before (broke up with the groom) and had over $10k in gifts. I gave it all back. No wedding, no gifts.

Oh gotcha. I didnt watch the video

I found big fish island last night... an island with all big fish right?

Its been going out of business for years. Ive bought a couple of things but I dont like their style.

If anyone needs gold armor, Julian is crafting it rn

Just look at every Americanized ethnic chain. Like halal guys. Ive had it and its bland af. And yet Americans rave about it. California Greek, Luna Grill, Chipotle, Olive Garden, all bland and boring but I guess if you never had authentic ethnic food then you cant tell the difference.

Bland food. Anytime I follow an American recipe, I double or triple the seasoning recommended.

I finally caught a golden trout!! I think I used like 200 bait

Sharpshooter because its the only one I remember

I dunno but I always did that as a kid

Generally buy a slew of fruits and vegetables (bananas, oranges, maybe mangoes, and then onions, tomatoes, cilantro, lettuce, cucumbers, maybe potatoes), some chicken, some beef/steaks, coffee, cereal, milk, yogurt, orange juice, pasta, sauce, maybe a frozen pizza or two, bread, cheese, whatever else strikes the fancy or needs to be replenished like honey, olive oil, condiments, etc.

Yup same here. I tend to get some higher end stuff also. Ribeyes, filets, scallops, fish, aged parmesan and gruyere cheeses, sometimes a rack of lamb here and there.

Everything you name is cheap food. You didnt name a single protein or vegetable.

I really hope you arent eating 2,800 calories a day on crap food.

The media is the one who made this political. Like only white neck beards could hate it. But most people I know who hated it irl are minorities. It was a bad movie and if anything, they made a joke of their diverse cast.
