On the other end of the spectrum, I found out there’s a gross income cutoff to qualify for deducting student loan interest from your taxable income. GODDAMIT.
Having to worry significantly less about traffic, collisions, or DUIs is a significant part of why I choose to live in an overpriced condo near downtown.
Using an over-priced North Face bag to carry booze (or god forbid actually do outdoorsy stuff like hiking or backpacking) is decidedly less douchey than using it to carry books to school.
You don’t know anybody from your neighborhood growing up who went to college nearby and settled down in your city without ever really branching out? You don’t have to be from a rural area to be a townie. Unless your parents moved a lot or have moved since you graduated I don’t really understand how you avoid these people.
Canned garbanzo beans (a.k.a. chickpeas), tahini, lemon, garlic, salt, and a food processor are all you need to enjoy hummus at home without getting food poisioning. Tahini is a little pricey (~$7 bucks a jar), but it lasts for several batches and the rest of the ingredients are dirt cheap.
Definitely less animosity from the team for people who take a sick day than for the parents that come in looking like death, spreading their kids’ germs.
“I’m not feeling well, I’m taking a sick day.” It’s definitely the quantity, not the quality of excuse of the sick day that matters to your employer and coworkers.
My dad worked and still works outside as a mason. It’s sweaty, backbreaking work even if you do a shit job, and really goddamn tough to do right. A few summers cutting brick and moving around mortar for him inspired me to become the air-conditioned office desk jockey I am today. Thanks, Dad.
Haven’t shaved or trimmed by beard in over a year. It’s actually more work than shaving because I have to comb it and wax/oil it into a respectable shape. Face stays warmer skiing though. I don’t think it’d be as easy to pull off socially if I didn’t live in Colorado though.
Thanks, man, I appreciate it. She’s fairly low maintenance and definitely isn’t after my money (we have very similar salaries) but we do okay and I don’t want to look like a cheap fuck.

DAMMIT, MAN.

Reload shotgun shells with rock salt. It will still get you an Attempted Murder charge, but it probably won’t kill the little bastards.

I just mean it’s all relative, man. Unless you live in Tokyo or London or the like somebody else thinks of where you live as a small town.
My hometown is 550. We used to drive 30 minutes to cities like yours for entertainment on the weekend.
That well-adjusted bastard is thankfully at home having polite conversation with his parents. The rest of us degenerates are at the bar.
Donald Trump begging America for “a safe, special place” made my weekend.

Answer the question.
“Hand-harvested”. Because migrant labor is still cheaper than developing machines that can effectively pick grapes without squashing them.

Definitely not Tony. Tony doesn’t read menus. That’s loser business.
