it’s interesting that numerous studies have shown that people who forgot their 401k accounts outperform those who remember them. It’s probably best to just set up the initial investment options and then walk away and don’t look at it.

I wish I hadn’t read this :( Thank you Cecilia for warning me. My expectations are now managed :( :( :( :(

Yep when they find something lodged inside of Maeve they say she’s contracted MRSA that has to get cleaned out.

Yeah I read through all (or at least most) of the novels. The ones over the robotech timeline were not as good as the show, but the sentinels ones were awesome. The only thing was that they nerfed Rick in there which was a bit frustrating.

I see some of those comments on Instagram and I really want to reach through the computer and shake people who make shitty comments like that. You’re so awesome for creating something based on what you love. It’s an incredible talent. I’ve wanted to cosplay in the past but I was terrified of getting judged for doing a…

by 1, do you mean Macross: DYRL? Sadly a bit out of luck on that one. I scored a DVD of it some time ago but I’ve never found a working copy on a (legal) streaming service.

That makes more sense now that I think of it. Though it’s certainly creepy having some dude stand in the corner and watch everything.

My medical office does the same thing. I’m male, and my current doctor is female, so they always require a chaperone during the exam which is like...great...but surprising they do this since I’m male. Maybe it’s to protect the doctor too?

build affordable housing sure...rent control is a proven failure though. Rent Control is why SF and NYC is so absurdly out of reach for everyone.

because they will not allow further density, or policies that could help homeless, or bills to put in low income housing because they fear it will harm their property value. The low income housing bills that have passed in Seattle involve building “mixed income” buildings where the “low income” units are $1200…

god SDOT. so true.

nearby cities bus their homeless over here because our services are better. It’s amazing when you work in homeless shelters and talk to the people there, how many of them were given free bus/plane tickets from other cities in the US and shipped over here to be our problem.

it’s in the constitution. We can’t have an income tax. Courts have struct it down. The city did implement one only for it to get instantly smacked down.

I live here and pretty much hate what the city council does overall..generally. That said, they HAVE tried to fix the state’s tax structure. It ends up going to court and getting struck down, so while I’m pretty unhappy with the city council, I would say they ARE trying things and they ARE keeping to their campaign…

I have a toyota. It lets out a LOUD shriek if the car is running but the proximity key isn’t in the drivers seat. Even if I sit in the back of the car with the key while someone else drives it starts going off. This sounds like the real issue is that we have an aging population and cars that kill the engine when…

But like, with the number of racists in the country, maybe it’s tough NOT to hire them. When they do something super obvious like this it’s easy to root the individual out, but most people don’t advertise that loudly at the interview. Especially not in the PNW. Racism here seems more hidden and insidious than when I…

I’ve been curious whether it’s a ruse, and whether she really is 9 years old. I mean she does look super young, but there have been adults that looked like children before.

Is this the way for them to co-opt the harm reduction movement???

Sorry but Arlo does allow local recording for free. The base station has USB ports where you can plug in a stick or hard drive and record to your hearts content.

I have no idea how well she knows her nephew. What I will say is that if she was marrying a non-royal then news outlets wouldn’t be tracking down every single relative of hers and doing sensationalist media. Look at it this way... the guy is running a challenging business with precarious legal status. He keeps getting…
