  • I pay for insurance and then pay copay.

    And then I pay a school tax and pay for school lunch and fees.

    And my health insurance doesnt cover teeth so I have that as separate.

    And I pay a tax on my food and then if it’s a specific type of food, I pay a tax on that.

    I also pay taxes and yet my friends pay $2800 to put their kids in a day care.

    Give me a week long battery.

    I got a Chromebook that lasts like seven days sleeping and 30 hours that I booted with Linux. It has headphone jacks. It has three USB ports. It also cost like $300.

    It was awesome for light coding and browsing, and lasted 10 years.

    Still got sweats going, “Eww it’s notApple/isGoogle/cantplayCrysis/cant3DModelWhileWatching4K.”




  • At a Indian restaurant, the waiter said, “We have regular and spicy… And Indian spicy.” Then he goes, “I usually don’t offer Indian spicy to everybody”. I’m brown, and I was given special treatment. But honestly I think I broke his heart when I asked for regular because he thought I could hang.

    Sorry man! 😭








  • but I’m learning that a LOT of people are either / or with phones and computers;

    My knee jerk reaction was to say something smart ass like “well they should get a computer” but you’re absolutely right.

    The customer service woman I talked to was surprised I could talk to her and browse the internet (on a laptop). She told me most people use their phone for everything. I met college kids who were typing their papers on their phones. My mom never owned a computer until I gave her one, and she leaves it in the corner “for emergencies”.

    I have no answer. People will continue uploading their lives into Google photos, Facebook galleries, whatever - with no backup, and hope those companies store their data. I think the average person is fucked.
