Lol wrong SSN, but I think you knew that

Giving you enough context to actually answer your question without giving up TOO much private info, in order:

Cubicle job where I make just under $20/hour (min. wage for my state is $15)

As for family/friends, I’ve reached out a little bit, yes. But I don’t like doing it too much, regardless of how difficult my life becomes. Maybe it’s pride, maybe it’s empathy, idk. Either way, I just can’t. In short, I’ve gotten SOME help, but I won’t get much more

As for cost of living, I live in the American Midwest and split rent in a decent apartment in a relatively-safe neighborhood with one other person (hopefully 3 total in the next couple months)

And that’s about all I’m willing to give up online

Edit: I copy-pasted from a very similar response, so I had to adjust it to fit YOUR questions

1-Because I’ve had some people online get real defensive when I’ve asked for sources

2-Cause I was a few shots deep by that point so I just kinda say things

I fully believe you (and I can’t believe I’m asking for this) but do you have a source?

Watch Snowpiercer

Ahti is GOATed

He did not die in captivity, that happened back in the 80s for anyone like me who got confused by the headline

I don’t think anyone on Lemmy has access to that data, and even if they did, that’s a pretty fucking narrow window to decide whether or not an argument has any merit. So this comment is either sarcasm I’m too stupid to understand, or you’re doing some massive heavy lifting to shift those goalposts

I am actually, this is exactly what I was looking for! You’re a saint

Outstanding reference

They are in the middle of summer down there, so that doesn’t help… but you’re not wrong in that those numbers are way, WAY too high

I work for a small (but successful) company that is starting to get their shit together and actually build resources instead of saying “Well, just do what we did 3 years ago” to someone who has no idea what they’re talking about

Literally never heard of Trello in my life until today…when my boss sent me a link to join their board…

Good bot (does this work here?)

I know you’re not the one calling her antisemitic, but holy shit that is probably one of the weakest arguments I have ever seen

Personally, I prefer turn-based because I have literally all the time I want to make decisions. I mostly play strategy games regardless (and against an AI at that), but something like XCOM is a lot less stressful than Age of Empires because I don’t constantly feel like I’m falling behind if I take an extra few seconds to check something

How exactly is the Vatican fucking with the Supreme Court? (I’m not defending anything, I’m just genuinely curious)

it felt like the industry jerking itself off

I mean, that’s pretty much ALL awards shows

In addition to all the other (better) answers on this post, I’ll just add: There is literally nothing stopping someone from buying one of those stickers and slapping it on their car like they would any other sticker. No one’s gonna pull you over because you don’t look like a beginner driver
