I got my parents a laser as well and evidently I picked a shitty one because they are planning to go back to the other side 😞

You’re welcome!
Definitely Icy Tower
Also, not really a video game, but those desktop destroyer type games. I’m not sure what any of them were called but it was a fun waste of time in my computer class.
I’m split between that one and Restaurant Tycoon. I think I switched between them every day lol
It is unless you use the high setting, then it’s pretty loud. But I keep it on medium or even low
Yes. And somehow having $20k credit card debt is worse than $100k student loan debt 🫠
Similarly, I was on a sort of diary forum and someone decided to share their very graphic life story with no warning whatsoever.
I mean I get why they shared it but it was so horrifying to know that a child went through that. I mean I know there’s always the possibility it was a fake post but given what I know about confirmed cases (including someone I know personally), I believe it.
What the fuck.
Sometimes I wish I was a billionaire so I could 1) cover these things immediately and 2) have enough influence to change the rules
My credit card was cancelled due to nonpayment, so of course my credit score went up (a lot) because my DTI went down
My parents do but I do not. I’m guessing we all have sleep apnea though. Definitely allergies. But, I do have a small air purifier in my room
I think it’s this one:
Fascinating. I had assumed it was everywhere but I looked it up and it does seem pretty rare globally. It has caused illness in countries nearby you though so be careful traveling :)
On the same level, has anyone tried the Bongo Rx device? I was looking into it as a CPAP alternative
I once knew someone who got locked in.
I’m not sure how long they were in for but by the time I learned about it they were $75k+ in.
They met on some app that I can’t remember what it was called. One of the weird ones that was in the news. Some sort of messaging app.
Anyway, the person I knew was some sort of computery accountant type person (not sure exactly what they did just know it involved both lol) so I was shocked that they fell for it.
They asked me to help them so I tried but they went right back to it. What’s crazy is the person scamming them gave them access to an account that had like $1M in it. So I’m not sure why they believed the person needed money?? So weird.
My tip is: do not give anyone money. Ever.
I don’t know if I want to know more about this second person… I’m gonna go with not
Edit: i shouldn’t have scrolled further
I’m not sure what the very first one was, but I think the one I used most as a kid was this one or something similar (family computer):
I don’t remember my first laptop but I got it in 2010ish around the end of school.
My first cell phone was from Cingulair in 2004 or 2005? A black flip phone. No idea of anything else about it, except that I ran up the texting bill and it had an internet button right on the keypad which I was constantly hitting on accident. That’s probably how I developed anxiety now that I think about it.
My first smartphone was a Nokia Windows phone. Looks like Lumia is what it was called…maybe the 520? Also black. I got that around 10 years ago. I didn’t even want it and I’ve always regretted it because that was when I really started getting attached to my phone. All these apps and stuff…yuck
We’ve been lucky with ours as well. We unfortunately have some sort of infestation in our house but at least they don’t sting us.
😬 i did this, but with my brand new telescope
I have multiple
And I also use pen and paper
I use them all. Don’t ask me why I can’t stick with one, because I don’t know. But my system works.
This is great. It’s not perfect, but it’s great. It feels like an impossible task but it feels more possible with a structure like this.
I don’t know that I’ve gotten them anything that I would describe as extravagent. Expensive? Definitely.
I spend about 30% of my income on their monthly supplies (mainly food and medications). Probably not the smartest decision financially but I have zero regrets. I love my babies and would spend the whole world’s wealth on them. Which is probably why I am not wealthy 🫣🤑🥸
