hey I hit a pot hole and it put a god damn hole under the engine that may or may not be fixable but will either cost a good chunk of change or require us to dump a bunch of money on a new car. we just got this one too. no public transit near me, im on a country highway and need a car to get to work, grocery store, etc.

if you want to help out (if you know car shit btw: is this beyond saving) I got

an Venmo

Trying to buy a house will jokerfy you

Turns out it's not even the ridiculous prices, the interest rates, or the barrier for entry that is needing tens of thousands for a down payment and closing costs. It's also that someone will always have more money to bid than you, and even if you muscle up and decide to go for a fixer upper that's ~75k less than you intended to spend, some landlord or home flipper can walk up with a cash offer and snatch even the shitty houses away from you

I need to impress upon anyone reading this that it isn't just not getting a house. It's that making an offer on a house is generally a no-takesbacksies ordeal, which means every time you even attempt to buy one you have to put yourself in the headspace of committing to a major life upheaval and all the work that's going to go with it. You need to be mentally prepared to take on hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt as well as any additional costs for maintenance and fixes. You've gotta be ready for all that just to ask nicely for them to consider letting you buy the house, then if you don't get it you have to snap back to normal and start the whole process over again.

I'm going to be honest chat the psychological toll this process has been taking on me is something no one prepared me for. It is a miserable affair.

when it's your first day as a shiny doctor in a combat zone and for some reason your clothes keep getting systematically demolished or taken from you, almost as if to signify some kind of loss of dignity or innocence....

Getting into a car accident is just like the Wizard of Oz. You’re suddenly thrown into a wild situation with potential casualties and you have to go talk to one of the most powerful people in all the land (insurance guy) to get your stuff back. Usually you’re joined by someone without a brain (a cop), someone without a heart (a cop), and someone without courage (a cop)
