Am I personally better off? What a bad question. What does this assume, endless narcissism and no interest in the broader world? One could be way worse off and hey that really sucks, but it doesn't...

Am I personally better off? What a bad question. What does this assume, endless narcissism and no interest in the broader world? One could be way worse off and hey that really sucks, but it doesn't...
It's a ridiculous conspiracy theory. If there were really magic anti-Alzheimers/dementia drugs, do you really think we wouldn't know about them? It's on the level of the elite really have secret...
I've only ever been middle class really, not poor. Did I live like I was poor when unemployed? Somewhat. But that's just what ANY sensible person would do if they don't have work unless they are...
she kept running on things like cutting social security, the 3rd rail, so how popular did anyone expect her to be? But Republicans should prefer her to Trump? Well look I don't think she's as bad...
Trump seems to have as much, if not more, cognitive decline than Biden. Trump seems to keep referring to Biden as Obama (never mind referring to Nikki Halley as Nancy Pelosi). Does not know who is...
Who cares about status? I care about paying bills, having an okayish standard of living, having savings, and being able to buy a few things I don't absolutely need because I want them. That...
I am middle class, currently, how I was raised etc. It's not an ideological position, do I generally relate to middle class ways of being? In many ways no, I can go real hard on critiques of the...
I will consider a protest vote for Marianne Williamson.
California is not an open primary state for Republicans for the presidential race (it basically is for ALL OTHER races), no party...
I'd take the meds, but with plenty of consultation with doctors first. Which meds? I don't know, but I think there are several options at this point specifically for osteoporosis, bisphosphonates...
I 100% think those are very close to needs. A way to get around locally (I didn't say to fly halfway across the planet, I said what I said) and sure if it's public transit so much the better, but a...
I'm the reverse, I've never owned a new car.
But the used car market lately has been pretty messed up with used cars costing as much or more than new. So buying right now, used doesn't seem such...
I generally pay it off every month but after years of doing that I paid late last month (I think I got real confused about when bills were due because it was one of those 3 paychecks a month months,...
The problem is people (and yea the Trump admin) kept pretending the drugs were effective long after ever accumulating evidence indicated they weren't. I suppose you could say there was a time it was...
the conspiracy theories that turned out correct are stuff like covid is airborne, and it wasn't even conspiracy theorists pushing that, it was some scientists some journalists etc. (but granted the...
I'm all for lowering the social security and medicare ages to 56/57. Seriously though that REALY should have happened by now with Medicare. But as long as we expect most people to work till 70 we...
Supposedly LED bulbs which is most of what most people use these days (me too though I have one fixture that isn't) use so little electricity that it's hardly worth thinking about (I suppose might be...
Much is necessities OR would be a lot of effort to reduce and most of the time it's not worth all the extra effort (like going to many different grocery stores every week chasing deals) but:
- no...
Yea, she should have appointed someone else. Our democracy at stake and these people think their literal f*cking around is more important. Just the worst people to have any power.
I got the Breville recommended here (well originally I got it for relatives whose stove was broke, and then later I got one myself). I have the Duxtop induction burner shown here (it's the one that...
It seems a lot of trouble to keep track of when there is a big jackpot. I'm not an optimist so I don't imagine winning. But also it's not just that I'm lazy and pessimistic, of course odds ARE...
good luck
the credit score will influence the interest rate you get on the mortgage. But credit cards while they help are really not *ENOUGH* for that, if that's the goal. They like big long term debt for...
I don't know a way to donate without getting forever and ever on someone's snail mail list etc. (and maybe email, phone etc. but email is easily fixed with unsubscribe). If there is a way, I don't...
I don't actually think there are any GOOD 3rd party choices either. It's not like there is some 3rd party dream choice that is so tempting I just have to vote for them (maybe if Ralph Nader was...
I probably paid $20 or something for them, but that was more than a decade ago (when they cost more), and they are still going. I suppose poor electrical wiring might make them burn out faster, only...
