I've also worked in state government. I am both surprised and not surprised to hear this.

By what definition of middle class are you considering $250,000 to be middle class? That's greater than the 90th percentile income.

Marauders is fun! Solid gameplay loop. It is more basic than Tarkov in a mechanical sense, but this means it's easier to convince your friends to play and easier to jump in and out of. It's still a more tactical and methodical shooter than a lot of what you find in the mainstream. There is also a pretty unique space flight mechanic as part of the raiding process that the devs are still working on.

I've gotten my money's worth for sure. I think I'm around 130 hours played so far, and I could see myself putting in at least twice that as development continues. More if my friends keep at it too.

How do you figure?

Single player social media, perfect.

Weird how actual slavery was "no big deal" but paying taxes is the worst thing ever because it's tantamount to slavery and theft.

I'll also say fuck Asurion. They seemingly bricked my phone during a routine repair. Obviously they came up with a flimsy excuse for why it wasn't their fault, but regardless I ended up walking out with a paperweight instead of a screen damaged but otherwise fully functional device. Would've been better off not seeking their service.

Yep, I bought a Brother laser printer for $120 a few years ago. I don't use it super often, but it's been reliable and easy to use whenever I need it. I've never had to replace the toner. It just works.

I mean, yeah? I don't use a wash cloth anymore, I use a different kind of scrubber that dries out quickly, but when I used a wash cloth I just used a different one every day. Marginal impact on my laundry and a pack at Target was cheap. Every day I could wash my face with a clean cloth and then wash the rest of my body.

Incredible. What's the context for when this was offered as advice?
