RIP kitty. Sorry to hear.

I’m sorry, it’s so hard to lose them.

I’m so sorry. Pets are the best and we don’t deserve them.

So sorry to hear you’ve lost one of your furbabies.

She was a good egg. And so are you.

I am so sorry. It’s so hard to lose a companion.

I’m also so very sorry for your loss.

You have my condolences. It’s hard to lose a good kitty.

Was going to pop on and say this. If you take their 300-330 ish speeds as km/hr, then that translates to high 100's, low 200's in mph.

Pretty simple really, they had the speedo set to KPH.

TIL that hot takes are not a recent social media phenomenon — they are at least 96 years old! Seriously, I love how you tied the original article to your family history. And, um, hopefully a week from today, maybe we’ll all succeed in delaying the coming of the cossacks for a while longer?

You lay back to tuck in your pants (if you’re already in a sitting position) for the same reason others have to lay down to pull their pants on. Creating a flat surface makes doing both easier. I’m not defending the rest of it, but there is atleast a logical explanation for that part of it.

Great, thanks Drew Barrymore, for helping to reinforce everyone’s incorrect assumption that SSRIs “numb” you and actually make you unaware of reality. If she actually took Lexapro, there’s no way she’d describe it that way. And now there’s even more people I’m gonna have to convince that just because I’m on an SSRI…

Yeah, the article is talking about retiring at 30-40, not 55. (assuming you bought that first house at around 20 in 81, which, buddy, that’s a huge priviledge, sorry to say, but that’s laughably impossible to do now for 99% of the population. I’m not gonna go all OK boomer on you but you gotta realize that at least.)

I would like to point out to all Jezebel staffers on the blog who kept yelling at Ms. Welker to “hit the mute button:” Ladies, she was not in charge of the damn mute button. I’m not going to do your work for you. Do your jobs & go find out who it was on your own. Or not.

So it feels important to point out that Welker didn’t have control of the mute button. Also, did 100x better than Chris Wallace. But she did definitely let Trump steamroll over the time limits and could have probably done better calling out some of the more obvious ridiculousness. Overall, though, I thought she did…

The whole idea that FIRE has to be about more than just escaping a shitty career situation has always irked me a bit. I get that under ideal circumstances an early retirement would be one of a series of steps forward in life, and I think it is wise to caution against seeing early retirement as a panacea that will cure…

The first step in financially independent retired early is simply decent parents.......something you have no control over, but if you were not lucky enough you can recover from.

Unless and until there is universal healthcare in the US I don’t think retiring early is something anyone in the US can do without at least $2.5MM (single) or $4MM (couple), their home paid off, and their children out of college.

“There’s a huge element of privilege to being able to do this,”
That’s pretty much all you need to say.
None of the self employed people I know, including myself, could meet any of these criteria, even though most of us do the things on the 10 Pillars list in terms of trimming costs. Some years I earn less then twenty…
