Me except I’ll be 28 in 2 months. People constantly remind me how I’m getting closer to 30.

Like stop pls. I didn’t sign up for this whole aging thing and it sucks

The backlog of video games and books would literally never end.

I’m one of the “fuck it lmao” types and I wouldn’t change it for anything. Life is suffering, but I’m also very easily amused and thrive in chaos.

Wall of my parents’ tiny neighborhood and use it as a compound. They have major river access and there are plenty of big yards for agriculture. There’s also plenty of blue collar workers to do a lot of hands-on stuff. I’d be in charge of animal husbandry since I’m really good at it. My mom would do plants.

My beagle was running around the yard and his big ol ears were flapping around. My goldendoodle just sat there while the beagle ran circles around her as fast as he could.

I have two that go hand in hand. One cannot exist without the other in my moral compass.

Acceptance and resistance.

Accept the things you truly cannot change and resist the injustices/cruelties that you can take a stand for and help to change.

Took me a hell of a long time to learn to accept certain things as absolutes, like the fact that suffering is an inherent part of life, but I have always been one to fight against things that can be changed. Not all suffering should be inherent to the human experience, though, and a lot of it can be fought against.

I’m fortunate enough to have really great parents. Like exceptionally great. I get legitimately really sad for others when I hear that they don’t have awesome parents. I can’t imagine going a day without talking to my mom. She and I talk every morning to make sure we both get up and get ready for the day. My stepfather and I don’t talk as often as my mom and I do, but he has been my only true father figure.

My biological father was an absolute piece of shit for most of my life, but he got his shit together and I see him as a good friend now. He and I talk almost every day, mostly about pets or work.

I thought the hamster was going to have been dead the whole time

Any physical therapy/rehab centers under Select Medical. I worked in one of their regional offices processing insurance claims and was exposed to the grossest type of capitalism. Profit through healthcare.

I did my best to make claims take an insanely long time to fully process so the patients weren’t hit with their absurd bills right after they just got done with major medical issues. I kept one guy’s outrageous bill in limbo the entire 9 months I worked there. He was a local to my area and I knew by the info in the system that he could not afford those bills. I made sure he didn’t even see the bills the whole time I was at that job.

I had my ankle reconstructed a couple of years ago and I knew the bills were gonna be crazy. It took 4 months for me to get them and by that time I was already back to work. I like to think that someone was keeping my bills in limbo while I got back on my feet. I paid off the bills a little then lost track of it all and then decided that I’m just not paying medical shit unless I am forced to pay on the spot.

Unacceptable tbh

Hell yeah, white baby

I did. It looks a little rough, but doesn’t seem to be complete toast. There’s also another mechanism that might be malfunctioning. I adjusted it like I was instructed to and the dripping got worse.

I’m not 100% sure what part is causing the running, so I’m just replacing everything. It’s all probably due to be replaced anyway lol

I don’t have a fixer-upper per se, but the dude who flipped my place to sell it really cut corners. I do as many repairs myself as I can. I consult the Internet, local hardware shops, and people I know who have done home repairs. I’m currently dealing with a toilet that won’t stop running unless I cut the water supply to it. I know that I need to replace all the parts in the tank, but I haven’t been able to make it to the hardware store to get the parts.

Also redneck engineering temporary fixes is totally a valid strategy. My parents put flex seal on a fucked up part of their roof and it kept the leaks at bay for 4 years. It could have lasted longer, but they got the whole thing replaced.

My screen door is broken, and I haven’t been able to replace it, so I have it tied open and held in place against my porch railing with some yarn. In bad storms, before it broke really bad, I used duck tape to keep it shut so it wouldn’t go flapping around.

Parts of my porch siding (plastic lattice) would also start blowing around in bad storms, so I used spare boards to prop everything in place until I was able to cut all the lattice down.

Me when I try to put all my reaction pics in one folder

I’ve been here since the reddit blackout and Nicole just ignored me until now lmao
