No.

Existence had grown exponentially more expensive in my lifetime, well outpacing what a 401k or pension will realistically ever be able to achieve. At best, it might buy me 5-10 years after I am physically unable to work; if I mentally decline too soon due to age (quite likely in my family), I will die in poverty.

That isn’t even touching on the possibility of a habitable climate or war, and assumes the survival of the current economic system.

A US news echo chamber at the whims of whatever they think will appease trump is going to be horrifying…

Lockdown Protocol looks fun from what I’ve seen of it. Social deduction game, first person with knives and guns (with limited ammo)

Goose Goose Duck (Amogus but better, all roles are unique)

Try Linux in a VM (virtual machine) for a while.

• Low hassle compared to dual booting,
• no risk of Microsoft randomly doing something to windows that breaks your Linux install.
• low/No system downtime if you decide you don’t like one distro or another and want to switch,
• no loss of game data for your son (I’ve lost so many saves because of games putting them in nonsensical places in windows; why is appdata still the default for minecraft saves!?)

Free fertilizer for a happy little tree.

I for one welcome our eldritch space otter overlords.

Weird opinion of mine; of the major varieties of porn, furry porn is significantly less objectionable.

• Live Action: major sex trafficking issues, “revenge porn”
• Hentai: its drawn and actual people arent harmed, but what the actual fuck is with Japans r@pe and child fetishes?!
• Furry porn: it’s drawn; you get some of the same awful stuff as hentai but it’s heavily frowned upon by the community and much easier to filter out.

I’ve said it before on this; with this location, it’s much harder to accidently shut off your computer. The number of times I’ve accidently shut off my work laptop just by holding down the dock to plug in or unplug a cable is absurd…

I haven’t seen an insurance ad in a decade. Who’s the new Progressive dude in the pic?

In a paycheck or two! Till then, S22u

Imma hug the bobcat.

A pixel to load grapheneOS on.

Other than that, I need to save as much of my money as humanly possible.

Florida has had Do Not Travel advisories for at least a year for anyone trans (and frankly anyone LGBTQ+ in general).

Florida is going to be absolutely overwhelmed with MAGA during that time-frame.

IT support everywhere sigh in satisfaction

Those peppers look raw, onions a bit too, but otherwise an alright sandwich to me.

I would hedge my bets for now. Alternative scenario: The Saudis throw another party for Trump, make some business deals in exchange for reigning in Israel. The House of Al Saud of course doesn’t care about Palestinians but their people do and a party and some business is a low price to pay to be celebrated by your subjects.

Blech… this honestly seems more likely to me now, plus it can be used as propaganda to “prove” that he did something about genocide, to keep people voting red…

“This price brought to you by the Republican Party”

Anywhere with snow and a window. It’s quiet, it’s peaceful, i can dress all comfy.

I would not be surprised if this was repealed (if only as an effort to further purge government employees):

Prior to this, my understanding is that back pay was given in good faith, not by actual requirements.
