Here's the advice - if you have a choice between payments and lump, go with the payments. That way if you do something stupid with the first payment, you have the opportunity to dig yourself back out of that hole. That's where a lot of people that aren't used to having money go wrong, they suddenly think they can own all the things but forget that money is still a finite resource even if its changed dramatically for the better for you. Payments force you to pace your stupid. And get the taxes dealt with immediately. Unless you are planning to perpetually run for office while bragging about how yuge your wallet is, skipping out on the taxes will bite you in the ass sooner rather than later.

In 1984 I was challenging the eyeballs of anyone and everyone with whatever clashing colored clothes I could find because screw your eyes.

The more able you are to buy your way out of trouble, the more likely you are to think trouble doesn't actually apply to you anyway. And its the rich people addicted to the spotlight that tend to be the worst offenders because they'll do anything they want even if they know its going to net them trouble because trouble doesn't apply. I'd still work but I have warned I may or may not wear a tiara and have a Mr. Bigglesworth in my office. What would they do, fire me? Other than that, I wouldn't exactly advertise because I'd have relatives I didn't even know existed pouring out of the cracks. Most would go into the bank, retirement accounts, potentially surprise college funds for the littles if I can set things up in such a way that they won't get smoked on the taxes. My ideas of living big consist of going to the bookstore and getting materials for the swags I give away.

I promise not to be a sex trafficking scumbag when I win the lotto. Eccentric weirdo, definitely. Scumbag, nope. When this popped up on my feed my first thought was 'damn, someone hates Ye getting all the stupid headlines lately. Just had to one up that mess, huh.'

I just really want to see it turned into another Al Capone's vault special first. Except this time, they might actually find something other than an old hole full of sand.

Trumplicans need to keep that fundi-evangelical vote happy along with the 'me-strong-blow-em-up' factions. Turning the entire middle east into a smoking hole in the ground does that for both sides - fundies think Jesus will fly down and give them all mansions if there's enough of a sacrifice and Michael Bay fetishists just want big explosions. And yes, withholding the next shipment should occur. Those shipping spaces would be better off filled with food, blankets, and medicines.

I just want them to seize his nearby golf course / cemetery. And then float the very obvious idea that they'll have to disinter the coffin from the premises to be reinterred in a proper site just to watch the panic ensue.

The US can refuse to continue to send weapons to Israel without supposedly running afoul of any promises to help Israel 'defend itself'. It's actually in the law - the US can refuse to help an Ally if said Ally is deliberately obstructing the delivery of humanitarian aide to an area in need. The continued constricting and obstruction of humanitarian aide to Palestinians meets that clause.

Yes. Yes they are.

No, I saw that. Cletus' take on the whole thing has me concerned he's gonna scoot on the carpet though. Besides, neither side is going to put their current-now movements on youtube because that would be a blatant announcement of what they are doing for the other side to target. Cletus is basically getting excited over stock footage of train transportation for the sake of pretending to know something. Everyone gets to see the big ships go boom after the fact.

So much this. There should be no reason for a college loan of say $20,000 total [ for all the years ] to cost $80,000 by the time you pay it off especially when you are paying it off the entire time. If you are paying something off, it should go down consistently, not up. And don't even get me started on the price of 'textbooks' and new versions that changed exactly one word around somewhere so now the old one is crap and you can't sell it back for the pittance allowed at the store. I have a History of Hello Kitty [ the business itself ] somewhere around here that was labeled a textbook for some class somewhere and the price tag is $250. [ found it ]

'Hydrated'...okay, that's a legit concern no matter what's going on in your life. 'Moisturized'...kinda wondering where this is going now. 'On your shit'...yeah okay scat-man. Stay off all my furniture forever. And this has been your moment of 'Yes, that guy paid for a Blue Badge of Dipshittery'.

Power went out last night right before Toonami. I hate hunting down missed episodes - I wait all week for a reason, I need something to look forward to. And now there's no hot water. At all. All I wanted to do was soak my angry bones until they aren't so angry. If I wanted to freeze, I'd go roll around in the snow.

Dementia Dork seems to have forgotten who he's even supposedly running against. He's reverting back to his old tactics of 'black man bad!' sound bytes even though...black man not eligible to run because black man successfully went two full terms without being a shitheel.

I'm trying to get some little things done today. But the building across the street is on fire. And I can't stop thinking about any of the pets that might be in there because their humans are at work. The entire area is completely blocked off to vehicles, they brought in a bus for the displaced and their pets, there are used fire equipment everywhere.

On the border in winter, a lot of the neighbors would physically staple heavy plastic sheets to the outside of their barns' or any outbuildings' windows to cut the leaks for the animals [ it had to be on the outside or the animals would eat them/barn cats would shred them ]. House equivalent would be heavier curtains which can be a bitch to change out if you didn't feel like stapling plastics to all the windows. Now, WalMart sells window kits for winter [ if you can find them - they either sell out fast or they never order enough to keep stocked up ] specifically for indoor use. No staples needed. My electricity bill is usually around $40 in the winter.

There are bumper stickers that people can get for their Teslas that says 'I bought this before I knew the guy was an asshole'. People who buy cyber-dumps should have a bumper sticker slapped on it that says 'Warning - Driver Applying Make-Up' and see how long it takes before they realize its there.

They've already put out a wish list that includes $1.5 billion in cuts to those. It's supposedly a dead-on-arrival proposal but it still exists despite all those claims that they totally aren't going to target them, nope nope nope. Yeah, China bad, China the real enemy, China is so totally a Biden country that its existence is totally a much bigger threat to the world than very Drumpf friendly country Russia... Wait, you haz moneys? I can haz moneys? China best place, yugely popular. Never ever said anything different. I would argue that nope, if TikTok is the devil because China owns it than DumpsterSocial can't be sold off in any way to said very 'devil'.

Now if only the deserting rats would actively support only non-jackass republicans [ good luck ] or whatever democrat is running to fill the vacancy. A vote either way would at least hopefully start to strangle the garbage minority that thinks they run the show.

Winter window kits. You can winter-proof your windows by putting clear plastic sheets over them [ on the inside ] using double-sided tape to hold it in place. Then you can heat shrink them to create a sort of pocket shield of air between your apartment and the actual window. It catches the drafts that get through the window so you don't feel them and the heat from the apartment sort of keeps the air pocket slightly warmer than the outside so its a form of temporary and cheap insulation that lasts as long as the tape holding it up does. Currently the tape on the bottom has given out but I leave plenty of margin so it's still controlling drafts. Think the world's biggest bubble wrap bubble but only over a single window. [ fun fact - bubble wrap was originally invented as insulation because the little air bubbles hold in warmth ]

Fund it.

He only has those shoes left [ maybe, since he's never said exactly how many of those scam shoes he actually has to 'sell' ] because people laughed him out of that sneaker con thing. The types of people who would actively buy those things already blew their wads paying $100 for copypasta photoshops on the internets. I have a better offering. Made from the same high quality leftover aluminum foil used in Ye's last dental adventure, it also has a bonus ability of blocking those pesky LiBeRaL brain waves that exist solely to turn your feet gay. Bidding starts at $1 million and you only get the one because I underestimated how much Great Valu foil I had left on the roll.

There are differences in what can be sent and we both know it. Every time they herd the population into a new 'safe' place, they turn around and bomb the shit out of it/kill as many people as possible 'for the good of the people'. I seem to vaguely recall something quite similar to that occurring back in the 40's...in Germany...to a certain section of the population...that appears to think that's okay to do now...

'Fi-douchery responsibility to shareholders' can french-kiss the darkest part of my cat's ass. After she eats her medical mushies.
