I'm thinking about grabbing...

Star birds

Last caretaker

And rv there yet

I'm also eyeballing planet Crafter, and a couple others on my wish list that dropped below $10.

I've also wanted to pick up ultra kill for a while but I never see it on sale for under $20 (Canadian schmeckles)....

Some that I'm still waiting to see come down in price to something more reasonable....

Horizon: forbidden West

Split fiction

Borderlands 4.

Even on discount, these are well over $40.

This is the way.

Right. Sorry, I've been dense the last few days.

Have a good one, kind stranger.

Maybe not, but it seems like this career has died. Haven't seen him doing anything in the last 5 years, and I don't think there's been an album published under his name in more than 15 years.

The man might not be dead, but it sure seems like his career is.

I hope he's enjoying retirement.

It's not everything, but it's at least something.

Hopefully buddy is doing well, whatever his name is, and wherever he is now.

Most non-tech-enthusiast people do.

And that's my point.

Sir mix-a-lot didn't die so I can experience such oppression!

I live in Canada and we have some of the same stuff included in our taxes.

Our whole system is pretty fucked up when it comes to taxes, but it is what it is. At least we have things in place.

Sure, I'm "paying" for other people to get healthcare, or to get social assistance, police protection, help from fire departments, ambulances.... Good banks and even welfare....

I couldn't possibly give less of a shit.

I like knowing that, when it's my turn to rely on my fellow countrymen for support, I will get it. If I'm sick and unable to work, I can get financial support, and go see a doctor without having to take out a loan or anything.

Social services are good. I'm not going to get denied coverage for a medically necessary procedure. It gets booked and performed.

And I know that Canada's systems are way less comprehensive than most European countries. We have a lot to do before we can get to where we should be. But we're still better off than our southern neighbors.

I need savings because all my bills land in the same week-and-a-half timespan.

So there needs to be all of the money in the account before that happens.

I know, it'll balance itself out in the long term, but the weeks I don't have bills to pay are usually the weeks that I need to refill the pantry, and end up spending more than I have allocated for that week so that I can eat.

I need to accumulate the base amount to pay all my bills when they come due, before I can really get started.

I know it seems really simple, once all my bills are done for the month, start then! Except there's probably incidentals, like the food that I mentioned, that need to be purchased, that I just can't afford on the $100 available for me that week. So I take what's needed, and then I'm behind again. The cycle continues.

I had a very good system for this when I was getting paid twice a month. I took the ~400 or 450 or whatever (again CAD) from each paycheck, and I split my bills so that, by cost, they were roughly split between before-the-15th and after-the-15th pay periods. I'd get paid, take my share, let the bank do the rest, and when I get a notification for a bill I need to pay by hand, from my calendar app, I go and pay it in full.

Then I ended up with weekly pay and suddenly, I'm paying 130%+ of a weeks income to pay my bills on the same week.

It fucked me up man. I'm still pretty wrecked by it and it's been like this for more than a year.

A cue is a marker point, usually for media production. It can be used in several contexts.

Queue would be a line, more or less.

I'm being reductive, of course. Just trying to help people who are too lazy to Google or look at a dictionary.

I like big butts and I cannot lie!

And I can buy this configuration off of a shelf at best buy?
