Thai papaya salad was what got me into hot food. I was at a Thai restaurant with Thai friends, and they told me to try it. It looked like coleslaw to me, so I grabbed a bunch and started eating it. First couple bites were fine, but then the heat came. And the salad was the only thing that provided any temporary relief. I had so much of it. I loved it. I’ve tried it other places, never been as good because they will use jalapeno instead of the tiny Thai chilis.

I am very proud to say that I wasn’t even aware that abusive material filenames had a certain pattern. Thought never crossed my mind.

A 14 year old girl once tried to berate me for having an android versus her iPhone. I asked her why her iPhone was so much better thsn my android? She didn’t have a response. I told her that I had an iPhone, and found it inflexible and frustrating to use. It’s overpriced and boring…

She didn’t really understand what I was getting at, and why ear buds or blue text bubbles weren’t important to me.

Shush. There are many Americans that still drive a manual transmission.

Pay me enough and I can forget about how much work sucks.

Sorry you are going through that. I have only been mean or rude to a service worker one time, and that’s because they were actively being an asshole to me by serving everyone else at the table besides me, and after their orders were brought, I had to make it a point to ask for food and drinks. And everyone else had refills and their food before I ever got my drinks.

And let me be clear, by mean or rude, I mean I just didn’t tip them.

One time I got a tray of drinks dumped on me by our server as they were bringing them. I paid for those drinks and the replacements and I still tipped that server.

I don’t get people that are rude to service workers. Even at McDonald’s when they forget fries or something, no need to be a dick. Just politely ask for them. They literally don’t give a shit and will usually give you a bigger size.

But OP, if you are making so much money doing this, why stress about it Just enjoy the money and don’t let it get to you.

I get that. And we had been planning to save up for a deposit, but we were a couple years away from it. But she very quickly caught on to what we could do and jumped at it. At the time she was freshly divorced and remarried, and he ex had tanked her credit and depleted her funds, and I didnt earn much. Our financials have gotten much better, and we both contribute our fair shares to the household. We won’t ever miss a payment or anything. And we live in a semi-rural community, so for what our house is, we are doing very well.

Shit. We didn’t put anything down. And our rates were pretty good as well.

Then wouldn’t it make sense to not put an actual figure down for how much donating is actually freeing up?

I’ve always been under the belief it’s a day’s worth of calories.

VA loans are so fucking clutch.
