I've never really done New Years. I probably would this year, if DC had anything remotely like NYC in the form of a centralized event. I'm not going bar crawling, or paying through the nose for a meal that they rush me through.
I had a teacher in high school who went to Times Square. He said it loving sucked, and that was probably pre-9-11. You stand around bored out of your loving mind except when they send the skycam by and then you act like you're having fun. It's probably worse now.

They do a big local thing here but the one time I watched it, in 1999, it looked like the lanest thing ever. They probably don't even bother televising it anymore.

Never smoked, and don't drink much. My main vices are pop and junk food. I mostly had stopped drinking pop 2.5 years ago but being in school and needing to stay awake kind of wrecked that. It's easier than making of waiting for coffee and probably more addictive. My exercise also tailed off. I'm not fat but am a little heavier than I should be and don't like it. I have no more actual classes so I'll have more time to work out again and get back in shape.

I've got it but it's hereditary ane not caused bt drinking. It's been a lot better since they dilated my esophagus a couple years ago. I was supposed to do something with an inhaler too but kind of forgot.

just lol if you don't accidentally turn your alarm off when you're disoriented in the morning instead of placing it on snooze and then fall back asleep for another hour
That's why I have an alarm clock, my phone, and my Echo set.

I was dumb and impulse bought a smart light switch on Black Friday without checking to see if I had a neutral wire on the old switch. Hopefully my next apartment does, I want to set it so the alarm turns on the light too.

Pickup trucks are pretty awful in the snow. My brother has his old tires and I don't know how many hundreds of pounds of sandbags in his bed and the rear end still slips. But the country songs say you need a pickup truck for your dirt road incest adventures so idiots continue to buy them despite their needs.

Anyone ever use an inversion table? I don't have back pain (at least as far as where this issue is concerned), but my back pops every time I bend down unless I use a foam roller, which gives me relief for several hours. But I'm looking for something that is more effective at popping and stretching my back.
My brother bought one. I tried it out a few times, don't think it really did anything for me. It's a bit of a sore spot because it doesn't get used much and just takes up space at my mom's house. Specifically it sits in the spot where I had a computer desk when I lived there, and that was apparently an eyesore, but the stupid loving Teeter Hangups is ok I guess?! [/mad]

Pretty sure you're wrong about this. Not about keeping his own account, but I would be willing to bet a few dollars that he takes over the official POTUS twitter.
Apparently he's going to use both. I suppose it could be sort of sickeningly funny to watch him try to reign in his utter sociopathy slightly on the @potus account, but still fail miserably.

That was my 2016. Plus in Canada you get a refund for tuition and book allotment multiplied by the number of months you were in school for that carries forward until you use it all, so my 2016 taxes are effectively nil :getin:
I got $4k between state and federal back on my 2014 taxes because I was in school for spring semester. It was only half time so I worked part time, and then immediately transitioned to full time and picked up a temporary technician gig at the end of the year. I'm hoping to do as well this time around.

What dumb poo poo is he hawking?

I've shown a few people that Penn and Teller's Bullshit episode on MLMs. Those two seem to get through to the mouthbreathers out there that common sense generally cannot.

So if that moron you know watches it and still thinks it's his ticket to millions, he kinda deserves what he gets. Might as well direct him to get a CDL so he can drive a truck and spread the good word of his business to all the other dumbfuck truck drivers.
They're libertarians so that probably helps. Anyone else telling them that MLMs are stupid probably becomes a mean liberal who doesn't want you to have money. The John Oliver segment on MLMs is really good too.

My cousin got a job with CutCo and it led to a series of events that landed him in a burn center receiving a bunch of skin grafts.

The John Oliver piece was good, but he strictly rules out explaining things to idiots because, "he ain't even no 'murican. Why wouldI listen to that bitchy little queen's lapdog?" I'm rather neutral on Penn and Teller. I know a lot of people hate Penn for reasons, but dumb people love loud people, and there's few louder than Penn Jillette.

That sounds like a quality story to tell at family gatherings.
I like Bullshit! a lot when I was a teenager and was dabbling with libertarian nonsense. Some of their stuff is good but a lot is pretty dumb.

They claimed in the mid-2000s that secondhand smoke wasn't actually a real thing long after denial of that fact became ridiculous. They smacktalked Jack LaLane in an episode where they promoted fat acceptance. Then they're main rebuttle in an episode about Walmart was to have models show their tits after taking off shirts with slogans like "They'll give you work if you're not a hippie jerk!" Which is kind of funny but misses the point.

Another thing that people may not think about when looking for a place to live: curb side trash pickup.

It wasn't on my radar when looking for a place but I loving love not having to walk/drive to a dumpster a few times a week. It's one of those things that you don't really know the convenience of until you run across it.
I looked at a place recently that was a bit more than I wanted to pay at $1340 a month. But really killed it in my eyes was that it was paid shared laundry. $3.75 to do a load. 2 loads of clothes a week, plus towels and bed sheets and you're getting close to $60 a month. gently caress that.

That math is not working for me.
2 loads of clothes
1 load of towels
1 load of bedsheets

$3.75 × 4 x 4 = $60

Past that I usually wash my comforter seperately because it doesn't dry well when it's in with other stuff.

I went for $1200 a month plus ~$30 for other utilities, and In-unit laundry. The military has made me hate shared laundry and they never made me pay to use the machines.
