You’re right, I do feel better about it with that included. It’s still going to be pretty rough in the states with unconscionably small maximums to begin with, but that’s not the federal government’s fault.

Wow, I just looked it up, and I’m paying nearly $600 less a month than average for this area in rent. (But it’s well under half the average rent in Boston ($3462), so local renters should still feel pretty good.) Just 24% of us pay $1500 or less. I’m sure my next door neighbor, who’s letter from the RI department of…

First of all, I’d like to know what world you live in where unemployment insurance actually replaces a month’s income. (Disclaimer: this may end up changed for COVID-19 specifically because of bills that I haven’t kept up on.) It’s not even designed to. Last time I was unemployed it was in SC, and they replaced... I…

Aside from what everyone else has said, Tom Nook isn’t even a raccoon, he’s a tanuki. I don’t even play the game, and even I know that.

Also, fucking “retirement egg”? He spent most of his career collecting money from vending machines in bad neighborhoods. His so-called retirement egg is a few grand left over from a car accident that almost crippled him. Not everyone has income and savings outside of the tiny sum they give people for social security,…

You completely misunderstood. He was pissed not for himself (though believe me, he definitely needs that money, I constantly worry about how and what he’s eating on his budget but he won’t take money from me and won’t move to move in with my brother). He was pissed on the behalf of the people who AREN’T getting their…

I called my (elderly, staunchly Republican) step-father last night, and while my ~$700 is just a nice extra cushion for me, since my job is both 100% able to be done remotely and crazy busy right now, I expected him be excited. Any extra income is nice, and the $1200 number in particular is a lot of money, when…

They... just are? We have a ton of states, many quite small, not all of them have natural borders like rivers defining the edges, and you don’t stop being a suburb of something just because of an invisible line. It’s not like “suburb of” is a governmental distinction, it’s just a term in general use. Philadelphia…

Nah, I don’t think that’s the case with this chain, though I’m sure it’s true for some others. The drivers I spoke to afterwards were all part of last year’s big warehouse strike.

My local big grocery chain has actually stopped pickup for the duration, and I can’t for the life of me understand why. You pay online and someone hauls it out to your car, I believe, so that’s as minimal contact as it gets outside of the unattended delivery option. It was my second choice after I saw that all…

All these articles talking about being careful with the touchscreen’s coating are making me feel like a weirdo for not worrying because I’m using a screen protector. How are you maniacs not constantly scratching them up? I took off a peeling one once and didn’t replace it, and regretted that decision inside of two…

That’s almost obscene for a non-massive city. I live in Providence, RI, which isn’t that small and is sort of surrounded by NYC and Boston, and I pay $10-12 depending on the showing.

She uses it absolutely nothing like anything I’ve seen a stripper do on a pole, which leaves me wondering if it’s you or I who have not watched them enough.

Um, hello? No mention of that amazing soundtrack?! It’s the best part of the game, one of the best of all time, and I still listen to it regularly.

Tbqh I’m not planning on stopping going on cruise ships either, so I’m not going to please the infectious disease people regardless.

It also really can’t be overstated just how terrible a movie The Mummy was. The protagonist was hugely unlikable, the plotting was nonsensical even by big budget action movie standards, the romance was too shoehorned in to be anything but laughable (again even by big budget action movie standards, which are already…

Or he did something really egregiously bad that not even DC can sweep under the rug without canning him, which, god knows how awful something like that might be.

I think you mean, “Thank God, Daniel Radcliffe Is Not Your Moon Knight.” That’s not a diss at Daniel, who was perfectly fine in everything (admittedly not much aside from Harry Potter) that I’ve seen him in. But that’s just awful, awful fancasting.

Oh no, just reading this article made the song start playing again.

Zomg.
