If it can’t be mad, sad, or horny, it can’t make art.

It’s been too long since I’ve had shakshuka!

It was 1 TB per person so for me and my wife, nothing really changes. This will impact people who have more people they’re sharing with. Not that we even filled up what we had, we don’t put anything important on Microsoft’s cloud.

I’m in my early 40s and with rising costs of everything I just can’t justify my monthly six-pack anymore. I wonder if they controlled for that?

Some highlights for me:

Any Anathallo show I went to

Mineral (both 2019 reunion and 2025 farewell show)

The Decemberists (Hazards of Love tour)

Local Honeymoon (new Philly band)

Future Islands 20th anniversary show in Baltimore

I am so so glad we found a place we could actually afford in late 2019 and we got a 4.75%. We’re stuck here now, but at least we can afford the mortgage.

There will be some different you can cope with better, and some maybe not. Just keep doing your best and showing as much love as you can, to both your kid and yourself.

Father of an ADHD 9-yr old who I love dearly. To quote a song from Hot Mulligan:

“Things don’t get better just different”

I agree it is all about the flow, I even said in my comment I’d still have to keep working. It would help tremendously and take some pressure off us which mentally would feel like a breath of fresh air.

Believe it or not, I get where you’re coming from on this. I guess I’d just love to have 150K is all. 🤣

I’m 42 and in the US, I’d call 150K pretty close to life-changing for me. I could afford some large maintenance items on our house, pay down the mortgage by a good chunk, and not have to worry about some upcoming medical bills. Sure I’d still have to work but it would definitely have a huge positive change on my life going forward. 🤷‍♂️

Edit: and also beef up our emergency fund! All of this would make us ‘feel’ much more comfortable.

I live in the United States and I’m in my 40s; no idea who this is.

Yep I worked there 20+ years ago and occasionally had to help load trucks…definitely not the driver.

My wife is a massage therapist and she says the same thing. She hates the term ‘masseuse’.

It was a cool way for my wife and I to spend a night in a treehouse for our anniversary and wasn’t very expensive (and within reasonable driving distance of our home). Maybe ‘quirky’ is the wrong word but more ‘interesting’? 🤷‍♂️

I know some people that have had good experiences using AirBnB for long term stays but overall I’m not a huge fan. It can be nice to have access to a kitchen instead of having to eat out, but for a place to just crash I’d definitely prefer a hotel.

AirBnB is not for ‘cheap’ stays anymore (if it ever was), it works a lot better when you use it to find quirky/interesting places to stay (like a treehouse!). People still try to use it to replace a hotel though. $100/night can usually get you a decent room with breakfast at a hotel in most areas.

Just want to see I love seeing your posts pop up in my feed, even when it’s a game I have no interest it. Thank you for sharing and posting!
