I have been poor and this does accurately describe reality. I would go even further and say good work shoes also prevent injury and pain.

Cost of car maintenance is more complex than this. I once bought a cheap compact car and it turned out to be expensive to maintain because of the labor involved in fixing a compact car. Like they had to virtually take the thing apart to get to the part to be replaced.
Solider FehlschussIsn't there a point to the argument? There's reasons why trying to maintain a luxury car on a budget tends to go really wrong - everything on it is expensive in parts and labor. The money to maintain something tends to scale with the money to buy it new.
I'm trying very hard to get healthy right now and this motherfucker in particular is making it harder. I've been stressed out ever since this bastard became CEO. The constant threat of being laid off. The pressure to use AI for everything. AND an employer cutout from covering my prescription.

I think one of the more frustrating things about having been poor and now being solidly middle-class is being around people who have never been poor. The assumption is always that poor people make bad decisions because they're uneducated or lazy. But their decisions are often practical.
GrrrlRomeoAs someone who has been poor, fresh produce was always a risk because it can go bad. And produce that's on sale is usually on sale because it's near going bad. There's just a lot of mental load to plan around making sure you're going to use what you buy before it goes bad.
I know someone who got HPV from her husband because he cheated on her.
Thomas [DARK MODE], DOAdding Kelsey Grammar to my shit list... 1. She could get married at 26 and get HPV from her husband. 2. No matter how "respectful of her body" she is, up to 26% of college student experience rape. 3. Sex education has proven over and over again to be more effective than abstinence education.
I like Xena and Clash of the Titans. I'm not even a little snobbish about the classics, but I thought Wilson's review was delightful to read. It was just really well written and made many good points.

I care more if a vehicle comes from a unionized factory.
Aaron RuparGM CEO Mary Barra is introducing Trump at his rally. Something to keep in mind if you're in the market for a vehicle anytime soon.
Does anyone know why a lot of GenAI images of people look like Garbage Pail Kids? Just something I keep noticing. (Yes, I know it's garbage, but I'm seriously wondering why so much of it reminds me of Garbage Pail Kids art.)
Effin' BirdsSo much for SDCC’s anti-AI policies — I’ve been complaining to show management about this booth for three days.
