Once upon a time there were two types of Dairy Queens. Some were just ice cream, but the ones called "Dairy Queen Braizer" sold hot food too. Eventually they all sold hot food.
Spicy food never had an effect on my stomach until one day in my late 30's. Now there's a fuzzy threshold where I'm OK, but there's a limit. A whole serving of my favorite bulgogi is always too much.
It was a joke. I feel like we're all living Brazil 2.
Wait, those weren't made as a prop for Brazil 2?
We were born into a system that requires that we make money if we want to participate. Hopefully the means of doing so has at least some desirability beyond that, even if only "this line of effort seems interesting enough that I wont constantly fantasize about stepping in front of a fast moving bus, and thus ruining its driver's money making obligation too."
It all becomes normal after a while but I still stress about the things that could take it away. Treefalls during big storms and fire hazards and places where people might trip and gutter overflows and was that a carpenter ant and and and.
A now, ten years later, we're doing some minor remodeling and a lot of those money stresses and fears of the unknown are coming back.
I use my post/comment history (and saves) as a way to know what threads to go check in on later. And I get a kick out of seeing a lot of upvotes and dislike seeing anything in negative territory. But I don't have votes in mind when I post.

It had 2 double density 5.25" floppy drives and 256K of RAM! If I let it warm up 10 minutes it could even run Print Maker Pro.
I stopped using a case a couple phones ago. Haven't broken anything yet and my last phone was 7 when it stopped getting security updates and I had to move on.
My wife always uses a case and screen protector and has still broken more than one.
Were they monkey-fighting snakes on a Monday-Friday plane?
Years ago I used to sign up for free samples of things (found on a freebees sub) using the name Freema Balczak, because then I'd know if one of them sold my info... but mostly for shits and giggles.
