One of them Carpenter nerd types.

Things should work in the ways you describe. Sadly they often don’t due to untold decades of lowering funding and general neglect have made the systems we have in place for our most vulnerable slow and bad enough to be worse than useless. They’re actively harmful.
People who are disabled from birth or before working age are religated to a minimum assistance payment that does in no way meet the basic requirements to live in most places in the United States. Filing for that is a lengthy process that’s often arbitrarily refused and requires even more time and effort put into it for (in many cases) a total payment less than the federal minimum wage monthly.
This is why you’re seeing a lot of comments about OP getting moved in with family.
I’m tied down by one financial anchor and have opted to add two more smaller ones on top of that for giggles. I live very comfortably paycheck to paycheck, if I need to save for anything I can fairly easily put away around 3k a month. I can afford a random 1k expense without issue, currently anything above 2k would be a bit tougher, but still manageable.
I mean… you know how your bits work, it’s easy to figure that your partner knows how their bits work… It just takes some communication to do something that feels nice for both sets of bits.
It’s not unusual for the first several times to be a bit awkward as you learn about the others preferences, but it gets better as you become more comfortable with the quirks of your partner.
The physical parts of it can be imitated well enough with the various devices, so you can experience those whenever.
The emotional side of things is much more complicated. For that each person is very very different, and it really depends on the situation, relationship, and intentions… just to name a few sides.
Shame I can’t legally import it. Also I’m wary of the website, their stock is a bit tooooo good.
Well shit. There’s one more I need to add to my demonstrate deck. Thanks.
Similarly, my egg farm has just hatched it’s 10 billionth chicken that lays dark matter eggs whilst living in their own micro universe, my bank account is sitting somewhere in the vicinity of 80+ zeroes after the number, and I regularly send ships to space to hunt for artifacts.
I suppose I get to shoot down rogue drones while relaxing in an egg based utopia. I might have to deal with time cops at some point for using spliced timelines to make sure each egg is the highest possible quality, across all timelines that chicken exists in.
My first time watching this movie I stopped paying attention about 30 minutes in. Some time later the final act started and I was drawn back in. I have since watched it from start to finish about 5 times. Which doesn’t sound like a lot, but I’m the kind of person who doesn’t generally watch a movie more than once.
No negativity taken. I’m sure I’ve seen worse regularly… Too regularly. To the point that I don’t bother committing it to memory at this point. People driving on the median or opposing traffic as a shortcut? Daily. People holding up an intersection to show off their sick burnout skills? A couple times a year.
Most of what I’ve read in here though? I haven’t seen anyone so absorbed in not driving while driving.
Comparatively yeah. It just sticks with me because apparently those 3-4 seconds made all the difference.
There was a vehicle I’d see on my daily commute for awhile. It would run every red light on one of the larger streets in my city, but the driver would slow down to make sure no one was coming.
The unfortunate thing was that due to the timing, I could easily and legally follow about 3-4 seconds behind the vehicle as the green lights are timed and the driver just happened to be a bit ahead of the cycle. I witnessed them more than a few times.
I have no stake in anything sex related, but I’ve known others which can be described as insatiable. If they are willing and able to do that for of work, then what’s the harm?
2071: the third oddesy.
I had heard good things about the first one and happened to just see this one in my high-school library. I had a book report due soon so I binged it.
This is the single most boring Sci fi novel I’ve ever read. It goes on and on and on about the various technologies of the various vehicles of the future. The most exciting part is a flashback to a previous book in which a character kicks a plant, second most is a relatively relaxed flight through a comet.
Normally I can plow through the couple hundred pages in a night, this one took me a bit longer because of how dry it was. There was a entire section on some kind of spinning windshield design used on boats to make sure visibility was always crystal clear.
You are a multimillionaire that has plenty of options on leaving if things get rough, but in the interim you can look forward to tax breaks and more lax controls/protections over whatever industry you may be involved in.
As for the rest of them, he’s flying the right colored flag and that’s about it.
Dogs. They’re the one animal I can actively get close to daily which depending on upbringing can either be very loving and sweet, or absolutely territorial monsters.
When I was in high school there was one of those dogs, he’d bark lightly, or his front paws on the picket fence and wag his tail extra hard, which are normally signs of wanting to be pet, except if you got within petting range he’d go for a bite.
Cat’s at least get away from you if they don’t want attention. I’ve learned more about dog body laungauge since high school, but I’ve also been bitten since then on just a random walk by (not going for a pet) just as the owner was saying it didn’t bite. It did.
Though I suppose terrified it’s a bit much. Wary is more like it.
Was supremely broke. Lived off the damned things long enough that I completely lost taste sensitivity from the salt content in the packets. Finally one day just said screw it, I can’t taste em anyways and I want some crunch.
A simple “Hey! Good work today!” with a thumbs up is really all it takes from a random passerby or coworker.
I hopped over as soon as RiF announced they were done.
Deleting old installs.
And upon taking possession of and then deleting them how aggressively the browsers I am using are collecting and maintaining files on me. It shouldn’t take 40 minutes to delete browser files from an install that only lasted 2 months.
