I’ve subscribed since the beginning and have always referred to it as “espen” because of that commercial.

Holy shit. That’s some pretty condescending misogyny even for the late 90's/early 2000's.

Honestly, this early TV spot was far more entertaining than anything the magazine ever did…

The guy even telling him that he called the police shows he knew he did the wrong thing. If the author was black, it could be a death sentence - there’s numerous times police have shown up to a car with a person of color sleeping inside, they have their guns out, and when they wake and startle the sleeping person,…

So when does the book, David’s Jeep Mis-Adventures, hit the shelves. I can’t wait to download an illegal copy.

David,

I live it in perpetual pain, but I am lucky enough to be living your dream since age 32... Let’s just say I really did earn it. And it’s because I did. Anyway, no salt rubbing, all the best in your endeavor!

But it is not pointless to kristin.

I think he is a fiscal responsibility true believer.

Thanks OP. If people are going to be stupid, they should be smart about it.

I see the “lottery is for losers” contingent have shown up.

Tell that to the guy who -this very week- won 768 million on the Powerball! 

I think the dream of never working is over stated. I think it’s more of choosing when you want to work on your own schedule. I say that as someone in his 30s who took all the money I had saved and quit a job that I hated to go travel for months. I loved it, but waking up without any kind of purpose got old too. I know…

Yes. Of course it is. Like I said, dear old Pops was right.

Hi kristin, I like your logic here, it makes a lot of sense.

I guess that’s an exaggeration. Maybe if someone would pay me $100k/year plus benefits to hang out with their dog 8 hours a day when they’re at work, that would be my dream job. We could take few walks. Watch tv. Nap. But since I don’t think that job actually exists, it’s just a dream.

Lifehacker is not a publication that should be encouraging this kind of nonsense.

Scratchers are also a little bit fun. at least at the frequency I do them (we have a family tradition of putting a few in the socks at xmas). I always factor that bit of fun into my “stupid tax” justification.

At the moment it kind of does because I have a cold with a hacking cough that won’t go away but otherwise my life is quite good. I just don’t care for working.

I already spend money on things I enjoy. On the dog laying next to me getting her belly rubbed. On going out to dinner. On going to see a movie or a play. On a trip to visit friends in New York next weekend. On a trip to Spain last fall and one to Scotland this year. I donate to charity monthly (that actually would…
