$23/hr x 40 hours = $920/wk
$920 x 52 weeks per year = $47,840 per year, gross.
government takes ~25% in taxes leaving you with net $35,880
rent is $850 x 12 months = $10,200
$35,880 - $10,200 = $25,680
student loans $1000/mo x 12 months = $12,000
$25,680 - $12,000 = $13,680
groceries $400 x 12 months = $4,800 $13,680 - $4,800 = $8,880 to spare.

Your annual budget has a surplus of $8,880
Divided over 12 months, you have an allowance of $740 per month.

Honestly you have it better than most people.

Furthermore you don’t need $400 in food each month.

Food is stupid anyway; Most Americans are overweight, so you can probably get by on less.

If carbohydrates have not yet been made toxic to your biochemistry via your metabolism being turbofucked to hell by sugar and empty starch, you could pull the red beans and rice plus basic spice hack for staple nutrition. Literally just big fucking bags of dry brown rice and dried red beans.

I see dried red beans and dry brown rice coming in around $1 per lb, and that’s DRIED remember - after you soak them and cook them you’re getting multiple pounds of food per dollar. You could get your grocery budget down to $100 per month if this is your base-load calorie source per meal and you decide to spruce things up every so often with a dollar here and a dollar there.

that took a surprising amount of focus and concentration to interpret. Some of the cutting-away looked so arbitrarily placed and random that I wasn’t entirely sure what was going on, especially the parts that have been lifted up and are occluding other parts. At first it seemed so random and chaotic that it was giving me that queasy AI-generated feeling… but on closer inspection, it looks like there may in fact indeed be enough consistency that a human’s touch was required.

isn’t this what those black and white mobster films from the Home Alone movies were based upon?

I would take every step to ensure that I shall not survive the hour.

well now that the jig is up and we know what their awful plan is of course they’ll want to muddy the water and convince the voting populace that it’s not actually their plan and that they “don’t” want to do all these horrific things… yeah. “trust me bro”

the earth needs more puppygirls, AND puppygirl representation X3

pretty sure i’ve had that nightmare at least once

They’d have to walk away with my entire torso because I’m wearing it and it gives me counterbalance XD

the 1920s were the “roaring 20s” The 2020’s ain’t “roaring”. Maybe I’m wrong to call them the “screaming 20s”, maybe I should call them the “wailing 20s” or the “weeping 20s” or perhaps the “whimpering 20s”.

mine is Wallet, Keys, Phone, (ear)Buds, Mask, Hat; then i also pick up my backpack that has everything in it that i would need to restart my life from scratch and bring that with me too.

active prescription medication, insurance info, medical records, notarized copies of identifying documents (the originals are in a safe deposit box admittedly), my core set of electronics and their infrastructural bits (chargers, cables, I/O adapters, input devices, batteries, storage, a small fold-up solar panel), basic hygiene supplies, first aid kit, water purification tablets, a mess kit, waterproof matches, a leatherman multitool, 50’ of 500lb rated paracord (it’s purple! :D), an 8’x10’ tarp, my towel (obviously of course) and a thousand dollars of emergency cash in a hidden pouch inside another hidden pouch. (edit: oh right i also have several single serving pouches of jerky in there for emergency nutrition if needed)

it’s not nearly as heavy as i expected it to be so i just kinda lug it everywhere. There’s even room for two spare changes of underclothes or one entire extra set of clothes, under and outer, should i bother to bring some.

…

the screaming 20s have been difficult and taught me to be ready to go in a moment’s notice ._.

Jesus fucking christ he’s actively disintegrating on a daily basis.

Thank you, Lain.

anger is a sensory system that detects fuckery.

she’s deliberately being uncharitable and passive aggressive.

Her criticism is invalid because she is not only lacking context but infantilely clinging to an intentionally reductive position, and you have neither the time nor the crayons to put it in terms she’s willing to understand.

You do not owe your decisions to the approval of someone acting childish.

it really should have been enough -_-

Her candidacy was america’s biggest mistake since the republican party cheated Teddy Roosevelt out of their nomination and got us stuck with fucking woodrow wilson - the trump of the early 20th century.

The class war has already been going. It’s time we fight back against the aristocracy, and burn their ivory towers to the fucking ground.

NOBODY WAS DRAFTED INTO VIETNAM WHEN THEY WERE FUCKING TWELVE DIPSHIT

AND, MOTHER FUCKER, YOU DO NOT GET TO INSINUATE THAT THE “DUCK AND COVER” CARTOONS WERE SOMEHOW MORE TRAUMATIZING THAN CODE GRAY DRILLS, LET ALONE SOME PEOPLE ACTUALLY DIRECTLY EXPERIENCING ACTUAL FUCKING SCHOOL SHOOTINGS

FUCK. OFF. IN. HELL.

at least Vietnam veterans could afford a fucking home when they got back

You know what, STAY fucked off. I don’t need filth like you in my feed. BLOCKED.

Hillary is the reason there were protest votes and general voter apathy.

She instructed her media cronies to promote Trump as the front runner, and also ran a rigged primary that stonewalled all attempts for competition to get a word in edgewise.

She knew how much of a threat Trump was, and yet she persisted in incompetently throwing what should have been the easiest Democratic win in history, with her fucking meddling.

It’s a shame that the only way to destroy the Democratic party is to kill the Republican party first, but alas, business always comes before pleasure, doesn’t it.

I don’t think any alphas had actually been born yet to witness it let alone comprehend it.

Tell you something homie:

Having no hope is, in my opinion, better than having false hope. You aren’t waiting around for some external savior to recognize that you’re struggling and swoop in to rescue you. You know that anything you get will arrive to you only by clawing it from the cold dead hands of the elders.

Yeah it sounds bleak but realize this: THEY don’t know that.

THEY, those fucking parasite boomers in their ivory towers, think you’re just like the millennial doomers who will roll over obediently and then do no worse than look sad and make sad noises when we get cheated ALL OVER AGAIN.

When they turned their back on US, we stayed docile, simpering, begging. When they turn their back on YOU, you are going to stab them thirty six times, slash their throats, and dig out their organs with a shiv fashioned out of one of their precious participation trophies, and eat them raw and howling.

… Or at least some of you will. And I for one hope that when it starts happening, we doomers will either stay out of the way, or for ONCE in our FUCKING LIVES stand up to protect you from the death throes of the worst generation.

You have it in you. It’s growing. Keep feeding it.
