Unfortunately, getting another roommate probably wouldn't happen, as there's only one bedroom in this apartment and most people would want their own space (I know I would!) And relocating is a difficult thing too. Most places you need to have at least three times the amount of rent saved up...

I did. Found my current partner when I was 47. I'm 50 now. But to answer the other half of your question: I don't think so. People's pay just isn't what it was when we were children. It literally takes three full-time incomes to equal one-and-a-half full time income of 30 years ago.

@Claraviolet , The root cause of my pain is from standing on my feet all day. For the last two days (my Saturday and Sunday, I've done nothing but sit at my desk, in my gaming chair. (Haven't bothered doing any of the chores that need to be done, because I hurt too much). As of right now...

At this point, it's chronic. Started back in April 2023, and has progressed to include both feet now, but also my ankle feels as if it's been twisted, and my knee hurts constantly too. What really stinks is that although I pay for short term disability insurance out of each paycheck, the...

The problem is, at least within the United States, that there are in fact two different systems running concurrently with each other. The COMMON system, which includes the normal, everyday workers. People who have mortgages, goto work, slave for hours everyday, attempt to save for retirement...

I'm really hoping that I can also land a different job sooner rather than later. The excessive amounts of pain meds that I'm ingesting is beginning to affect my stomach. And I'm up to the point to where I NEED to take pain meds, everyday, including on my days off. Every three hours while I'm...

I disagree with "We only unite when there is a threat from outside". I think it's more accurate to state that we only unite when there is a threat that directly affects ourselves AND it happens to affect others. Yes, most human beings are inherently selfish. Generosity is an evolved and...

Absolutely. I believe that Beldandy from Ah! My Goddess is stunning. Fate Testarrossa from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha is adorable, bonus, I reallylike the art style of the eyes in that entire series. Of course, the character who introduced me into the world of anime to begin with in 2002...

This is exactly why I role play! But to answer the question, hmmm, I think it would be fun to take a typical magical girl, like Sailor Moon or Nanoha Takamachi and dump them in the world of Ah! My Goddess.

I had a day like that...granted decades ago, back when I worked Help Desk. I got fired for having a "low quota" on my resolution calls. Nevermind the fact that I was acting as a liaison between the customer and our Development staff, fixes that often took several days to weeks to resolve...

Oh, it gets better. But no, the Mod said that I was participating in unfriendly groups that squealch LGBTQ+ members. I replied, stating that I LGBTQ+, and invited them to review my post history. Nah, I was muted for 28 days. As I said, it gets better, because the very next day, I said...

I think most advanced life forms are smart enough to know that us Humans are still too immature and primitive to be reasoned with. We still squabble over resources and emotions with each other instead of working together to ensure the only planet we're currently capable of living on endures for...

If I understand the term Isekai correctly, it's where the protagonist becomes trapped in an alternate world or reality, fictitious or not, correct? I think that a well written Isekai that would cause as much immersion as possible is an ideal escape from the horrors currently happening in the...

Everybody who's wronged me during my life? That list could be pretty lengthy.... or maybe I was schmuck who deserved it? Either way, what's happened is trapped in the past, as ice freezes bugs in a winter stream. There's so many other exciting possibilities and opportunities to explore in the...
