I got a 2023 Hyundai Elantra Limited earlier this year and I actually love what they’ve done with it. It looks so sleek to me, especially in black.

I didn’t care for previous iterations of the Elantra. Dont get me wrong - they weren’t ugly. They just looked like standard car. Not bad just kinda bland. The newer style has personality, stands out much more and in a good way in my opinion.

Why shouldn’t they? O.o

I mean, it’s pretty on topic?

Can also confirm that a pretty big one happened before Trump: the one that happened in Brooks, KY in 2007.

The whole area smelled funky for a couple years after the derailment… And was also CSX.

I mean with a sandwich you have to go to the grocery story select the individual sandwich components, bring them home, put them away, put said components together to form the sandwich.

If you get the soylent in bottles it’s just a subscribe to have them delivered to your door, put in fridge (or don’t but I personally think they’re better cold), grab a bottle out of fridge.

I used to work for a computer repair place long, long ago and I was on the laptop repair line.

I went to unscrew a laptop but for some reason my screwdriver wasn’t catching the screw… a coworker took the screwdriver and put more force into and there was sickening crunch that wasn’t hardware…

He removed the screw along with an impaled dead baby cockroach…

But this isn’t the end. Oh no.

When that screw came out with its buddy they had friends.

A lot of friends.

Flooding out of that tiny screwhole like something from a god damn horror movie.

We bagged that up and sent it back to the customer. It did not get repaired that day to say the least.

I got a 2023 Hyundai Elantra Limited with all the options for $27,000 earlier this year and that was brand new. The standard/base Elantra was several thousand less. There was another model below the Elantra for even less. I also didn’t haggle and took the price as marked, so who knows. Perhaps someone more charismatic than myself could have done better on it.

I still over paid, don’t get me wrong. The same car with all the features before Covid would have probably been around $22-23k.

I think this is very much an ‘each to their own’ thing.

I have a Loth Cat from Star Wars on my arm I got at Star Wars Celebration 2019 and so I get warm fuzziness and memories of that time when I see it there. It was a fun experience I got to have with my family… and a very cute little critter too.

Admittedly I’ve been asked many times if it was a Pokémon LOL

…It really does. Especially with the amount of word play Gintama uses frequently (Kanji play in this case? Not sure if it’s a ‘they just look similar written down’ thing or actually a verbal play too. I won’t pretend to know the word for hemorrhoids in Japanese LMAO)

Man, I miss Gintama.

A lot of people also have two phones due to less dire circumstances than those listed here or criminal related things - like people with work phones.

When there’s an alert (usually Amber alerts) late at night having four cell phones screeching and awakening you from the depths of sleep is panic inducing. My husband and I both have personal phones and work phones and it’s jarring to say the least when they all go off at once.

Not 100% true.

I never finished college and have a pretty nice IT job now.

Admittedly I had a lot of shit jobs before by some luck one of those places I worked at for a couple years had an IT opening. I applied and had somewhat of a reputation for helping out the less technically savvy peeps on my line, went to the interview, answered their questions and got my foot in the door for experience.

It wasn’t a great paying position but eventually I was able to move elsewhere and a couple jobs later I found myself making decent money, better money than some I know that do have college degrees.

Honestly part of the benefit of early access is the diverse hardware and diverse playstyles being tested. I’m sure part of BG3’s success was due to them taking feedback and bug reports from the early access players that submitted things and implementing the fixes and changes based on customer feedback. It definitely gives unique insight for the developers while the game is still being made.

I got curious and looked it up.

It actually sounds less crazy in context but like.

Bro, that thief gonna get some kinda karma when they open that bitch…

‘you guys’

‘Frigging humans’

…Are… are you not a human?

Asking for science, naturally.

Kentucky is also a fairly low cost of living state which is something to factor in too.

My husband and I combined make waaaaaaay the hell less than 400k a year and we aren’t rich but I’d say we live fairly comfortably here.

Oof.

I know a lot of people say it’s learned but I know I’ve been doing it for as long as I can remember and as a kid I initially never did it consciously.

I had adults get on me for ‘giving them a look’ when I was a kid but like… I wasn’t giving that look intentionally… it was just a natural reaction… I mean, usually when I thought something was stupid or it baffled/confused me in some way but I wasn’t intentionally giving ‘nasty looks’…

I’d say I’m somewhere in the middle too. I also have this tendency to build high mid-tier as my budget allows then ride it for 7 years or so until the games I play start struggling. I just don’t have the money to keep up with the latest and greatest/upgrading every year.

…admittedly since Baldur’s Gate 3 came out I’ve been using my PC as a space heater so take that as you will…

Honestly if not for the fact that everything is likely rotted to fuck and back, it would actually be really cool in my opinion. But guaranteed that shit is rotted out and would cost way more to fix than it’s worth, which is sad.

I love old buildings, especially ones that look like it probably has some interesting history attached.
