That’s my big problem with The Grinch; everybody’s a jerk. We expect the Grinch to be a jerk, but the Whos down in Whoville are just the fucking worst. So when Grinch steals their presents, you think, “Good! Fuck those guys!”

Sadly they only go horizontal and not vertical though. I have a faux roomba, very happy with it, but it still needs my assistance.

Could be because we still have skin, and pets.

I asked a retied Police Chief I know “If I call in and with concern of someone driving erratically, not necessarily under in the influence, do the police follow up with that license plate?”
The answer was unfortunately, no.

I have often heard that you should never buy a car manufactured on a Monday or Friday. Is there any factual (read: proof) of this?

Just as long as it wasn’t built by these guys. (HINT: It probably was)

You’ve never seen my Roomba drink.

I know so many people who would have followed - and given - this man’s advice, and they died with a huge bank account that they never had the chance to spend, after a lifetime of hard work, barely taking vacations or time off.

YOU’RE NOT THEIR REAL DAD!

it’s better to do it now before one gets sucked in and ends up spending it all on other people.

Off the top of my head, I wanna say that white dude pill dealer in Breaking Bad and/or Call Saul? (forgot which)

“Someone straight out of college with reliable transportation shouldn’t be buying ANYTHING. How about paying down those college loans and investing into tax deferred retirement funds.”

F-type all the way. If not for the AWD requirement, Cayman would be my suggestion.

I knew this comment would be here... For many, the only thing that keeps them motivated to finish the school grind is a sweet, sweet reward at the end. For some, it’s an extravagant vacation, or an awesome home theatre or, in this case (as was mine), a dream car.

This here kills me, but it is the root of the Kia/Hyundai/Genesis problem. No one that wants to show off being successful is going to buy any of their cars. Even though they are some of the best cars you can currently buy. Whoever is the making their marketing and inventory decisions should be fired. Kia should be the…

Something tells me that her working full time probably kept that debt low. How about we answer the question and not give out patronizing life advice to someone who is clearly very much on the ball?

Exactly. I’m currently working full time and in grad school, and am incurring exactly zero debt along the way. My employer reimburses a portion, and I cash flow the rest. If my graduation ends up in a nice salary increase (and I hope it does), I’ll definitely indulge a bit. 

The average salary for a pharmacist is well into six figures. She’ll be fine. It’s not like she took out $200,000 worth of loans for a degree in comparative lit, med school degrees actually pay off.

Aside from assuming facts not in evidence— the author may not even be in school debt, or even if she is, her chosen career may be perfectly capable to rendering those debt (and retirement investment) concerns moot— the fact is, life is a terminal condition, and it is absolutely not worth living unless you take the…
