You’re missing out, Cheese is a hoot on a good day.

We’ve talked about this, Cheese: You need to use the post body to add context when you ask questions like this.

Since most expenses are static but my income is variable, I have done the calculation for how much my expenses are per day and per week. Then I just make sure I’m making at least that much every workday / workweek. All the surplus gets split between discretionary spending, long-term plans (home improvement, family trips), and investments.

I’ve managed to make it even simpler by making the investments automatic and hands-off, so I can just figure those into the per-week number since they’re also regular.

I think that people should be able to have guns to defend themselves. I also think that, in almost all circumstances, people should not use guns to defend themselves.

Have you tried primal screaming?

None, I work when I’m at work. My hourly is laughable, I gotta sell if I wanna get paid.

yes, but I turn off autocomplete and autocapitalization and grammar correction

Mine takes longer, but I never brew a single mug. I brew a full pot and I only reason I limit myself to that is because of the size of my kettle.

I’ve used an electric gooseneck kettle for about a decade, before that I used a stovetop kettle or, if so was really desperate, a saucepan.

Five months, but, three quibbles:

If I didn’t have income I’d be cutting way back, and with only essential expenses it’s more like eight.

I wouldn’t plunder my retirement investments to keep spending at the current rate, so if I kept spending the same but didn’t plunder, it’s more like two months.

I started a good job recently after being underemployed for over a year, and am still financially recovering; normally my emergency budget covers ten months without any income.

It seems like you maybe thought I was saying the exact opposite of what I was trying to say. I’m not sure if that’s your error or mine, so let me be clear: “Social construct” doesn’t mean “not real”, it means “important to consider when dealing with other people”.

Race being a social construct does not make slurs any more permissible to use.

You’re right! Which album is best for housecleaning, in your opinion?

I’m not familiar with the term “neoclassical liberal”, but in the US:

“Social liberal” means liberal on social issues (people should be able to do what they want, government shouldn’t police morality or sex, against segregation and discrimination) but not on other issues (eg. national defense, economics, criminal law).

Whereas “progressive social Democrat” is in favor of actively correcting social ills, eg. with affirmative action hiring, better public education, comprehensive sex ed; while also holding left-wing economic positions and otherwise falling in line with the DNC.
