I, personally, have nothing to hide. I just demand privacy anyway as a matter of principle.

Lemon Demon, Evil Devil, Ghost Frost, Daughter Laughter, but most of all: Erudite Crudité

The bots are intentional, or at least welcome.

As to left-leaning: It’s definitely not.

yes, maps apps is what mean

I use it for translation help, speech-to-text, text-to speech, routefinding, and of course controlling mobs in videogames.

I’ve spent entire workdays only speaking Spanish here in Chicago.

There’s no one place you should invest it. Keep some liquid, in a high-yield savings account, for emergencies. Put the bulk of it in a diversified stock portfolio. Add to the portfolio and the emergency account monthly, as well as investing in any available IRA or 401K up to at least the employer match.

You definitely should not, I only give bad advice.

Some of us get a four-day work week… this week.

There’s an award-winning bakery I flip off every time I go past because once someone was rude to me on their patio about my kids.

Anything good? Pretty likely.

Your entire wishlist? Vanishingly unlikely.

Any one thing from your wishlist? The cats / dogs duet is the most likely.

Proud? No. But I am grateful.

The summer I spend homeless after mooching off my roommate and (now former, due to this) best friend until they couldn’t support me any more. I didn’t know how to adult, basically, how to earn enough money to pay my bills and keep my bills low enough to match my income.

I got back up with some hard work, a lot of help (other friends who found me work, places to live, helped me move and store my most precious possessions while I was homeless), and a huge amount of luck.

Tale as old as the Internet: Tourist buy bread from a gas station and assumes that’s what we eat here.

That shit was meant to sit on a shelf for a month, it’s not what anyone eats unless they are desperate. Visit a bakery next time. We’ve got plenty of real bread.

Because I come from a family of pilots and the free F&F tickets came with the stipulation that we dressed very nice. I grew up with that and the habit stuck.

This is the second time I’ve seen this post…

Yes, of course.

Do? DO? Why my good friend, everything is already how I want it to be. Don’t you realize, all this time, all this trouble, everything has all been according to plan? MY plan? Why, you’ve played directly into my hands and I’m so grateful. So very grateful. In fact, I think it’s time to celebrate. Yeeeees. What am I going to DO, you ask? I’m going to CELEBRATE. Won’t that be fun? Well, fun for ME, anyway.

Because we already call that a hip-check.
