PBS is being threatened as a whole, and not just because they're inclusive, but because they are an entity for the public benefit, and the current assholes at large hate that sort of thing. I sincerely doubt they want to do this, but if there's any hope of them continuing their mission, how do you propose they handle it? I'm really not trying to be a dick here, and it's horseshit that we're at this point as a society, but I can see where they're at.

Nah he got bummed when they stopped, so a-shitposting he went.

Ah gotcha. It's possible that they were a pain to get to without destroying the plaster/drywall and the previous owner was tapped for money, it happens. But yeah, make sure no heavy loads, especially space heaters, and you're probably fine.

Might wanna have that wiring in your house checked out, that 50s wiring can be a little on the sketchy side.

They certainly do, they advertise it as such and they performers very much tailer the shows to their audiences.

A wiener in ladies' clothing, the horror

You sure are lol

👍

Sure, but you weren't accessing those sites from a computer that fit in your pocket and that you carried around with you at all times.

But regardless, that functionality is still built into the car, and could theoretically be used unless you disable the telemetry/communication system.

They probably have a really good tax guy, especially if they're making that much. Average is typically 15-30%, and it usually depends on how you go about your taxes. Depending on deductions, especially if you own a business, and the more you can pay a (high level) tax guy, the less you pay in taxes. It really do be like that.

Personal income, and even business income, absolutely agreed (my personal for the year was $10k or just shy of 10%, my corp tax was about $900, not bad at all). It's the other nickel and dimeing CA is famous for. Fuel taxes, property taxes because home values are now sky high, DMV fees, and then all your municipal taxes, and then all your varied county/municipal sales taxes, and plenty of others I'm not thinking of right now, and of which added together are exorbitant compared to other states. Now, don't get me wrong, you certainly get what you pay for in terms of great weather and good quality of life compared to other states, as well as many other benefits, but let's not pretend for a second that California isn't a fucking expensive place to live. I was born and raised here, I've lived elsewhere, and I am not leaving, but absolutely California is pricey.

In California, yes. Moreso because taxes keep rising but services keep dwindling.

And then she'll be just so confused as to why he never talks to her.

So what im gathering is 4th breakfast is indeed an option

No worries! It may be exposure bias, and I'll be honest that the only BI articles I read come from here and there certainly is a certain slant. But from where I'm sitting, it really does seem like there's a coordinated effort among so called 'culture journalism' articles such as this to push a certain normalcy of nothing I'm that I can't help but wonder if there's something funny about it. Perhaps it's a sort of tin foil hat theory, but prescient in a really stupid way. This article in particular isn't exactly a defining example, but more of a contribution to that nature. I dunno, I probably need to go to bed lol.

It just seems like a good chunk of the articles I see from them are stories promoting going without, dealing with less, and downgrading lifestyles in response to cost of living, but doing so in a "feel good" sort of way, kind of like a life hack in a sense. They just seem to keep pumping out stories that portray families and people in their 30s to 40s that are downgrading into small homes or even trailers, eating next to nothing, or forgoing basic necessities as a way to somewhat normalize not having shit but still working your ass off, or at least that's what I've perceived from it.

Like with this article, they promote it as some kind of performance-enhancing life hack to not have an internet-centric phone, yet the person on the article is carrying three of them for different purposes. It just seems ridiculous. If you want to spend less time on your phone, uninstall the time wasting apps, set do not disturb on a per app basis for the ones you keep, and make a conscious effort to put your phone away. It just seems like a clumsy solution for not having self control.

But hey, that's just my opinion.

Fish fart in that lake.
