I didn't make a big deal out of it. I mostly feel like it's just a number.
I do have that lingering subtle feeling that i should be further along in my life goals, specifically career change.
What career change would you like to pursue, what are your life goals, and how far along are you in pursuing those goals, let's say as a percentage
Ideally I'd do something public health or medicine.
I applied to grad schools for Masters of Public Health a few years back. Didn't get in anywhere, and the experience was demoralizing when I met the competition.
I started on a second bachelor's degree (Microbiology/pre-med) but didn't follow through. I barely have the mental/emotional energy to deal with my job. I did well in my classes but I was basically a zombie all the time and I almost got fired. Meanwhile I remembered how much I disliked academia.
And at this point, I don't think I want to attempt anything that involves the university system.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
Cashew ice cream is delicious, and cashew cheese doesn't taste like cheese but it has the perfect texture and makes a nice creamy savoury spread
yeah but it takes 100 gallons of water to make a single cashew you monster
It's more that cashews are produced in places with poor labour protections, can burn workers with acid because the natural defenses are so potent, and have been produced in labour camps that exploit drug addicts

Debt collector just called about a credit card I am supposedly delinquent on
He had my SSI and my DOB and he said I owed 3800, from a card issued in 1998
I asked him to re-read my DOB and check how old I was in 1998
he said that it doesn't matter even if I was 14 I still owe it.
Yeah no thanks bud plz direct all further correspondence to 1-866-fuckoff
Did you Santos L. Halper a credit card company in 1998, override?
Maybe? I don't remember, I was a teenager. He had my *correct* date of birth, which means they issued a card to a minor and I probably bought video games with it or something. In illinois you can't even issue a card to a 20 year old without a cosigner or joint applicant which is what I will tell them in written form if and when they send me a copy of the original credit card contract
How old is the debt? Different states have different statute of limitations on when debt can be collected.
its from 1998, and regardless, minors can't legally be issued credit cards. the only scenario in which I could remotely be responsible for the debt is if I committed fraud, but they have accurate DOB information meaning they just ate the cost when they issued the card
Ill go to court with them if they want
Everything I've ever read about US debt collectors and their bullshit makes me believe that the only response anyone should ever give them is to invite them to go fuck themselves forever.

Looks like Illinois statute of limitation in credit card debt is 5 years.
You can also ask the debt collectors for mailed written proof, and usually they'll send you something that says they have your debt and what the account number is, who they bought it from, etc. And also a notice that says that you don't have to pay it since it is after the statute. They'll also have some text about if you want to dispute it, then send in a written letter within 30 days or whatever.
source: I had to do this a few months ago for a $17 electric bill from 5 years ago.
Under Illinois law essentially any debt in which the creditor cannot produce the original contract. It is treated the same as a verbal agreement and any obligations expire after 5 years, technically credit card debt lasts forever in illinois as long as they have the contract, but again - the contract is signed by a minor it isn't a valid contract, so they did the legal equivalent of handing me a bunch of cash
for the most part yeah. the house is a few degrees warmer than i'd like so i need to get a fan for my room. also my room is way smaller than my old room. but it's hella nice to have basically my own bathroom and be closer to work. plus dog and cat are a+ perks.
my desk is finally all set up with computer, internet etc.

I had one of those Impossible Burgers this weekend and holy shit you guys
why isn't this everywhere
also why did it cost 16
but also holy shit you guys
What is an impossible burger. What am I missing out on?
It's a burger made using a combination of wheat and soy protein mixed with a plant-derived hemoglobin-like protein that allows it to "bleed" and taste more like an actual meat burger (since a lot of the 'meat' flavor comes from the hemoglobin in the meat)
*this is all from memory plz visit their website to learn more
I'm shitty at being vegan but I definitely support the politics behind it
Relatedly, I'm also an anti-lawn advocate
Yeah but what if the grass grows naturally
I know you were in Texas for a while and it's still probably a weird concept but
It's not just about what grows naturally but also how much water it takes to keep it up and how much chemicals we seep into groundwater
basically if your lawn isn't buffalo grass, you're dead to me
forever.
But what if I don't use chemicals and never water it and just live in a particularly green part of the country?
I'm also a proponent of native plant landscaping and I'm anti-lawn and what you're describing us totally fine IMO. If grass grows naturally in your biome and all you do is mow it, that's cool.
But most lawns in the US use non-native grasses and require a shitload of water.

My lawn is mowed mountain meadow
It is not watered

Also ithe greenest bits are 25% volunteer oregano and 25% yarrow

I have about an acre and a half of lawn that we don’t water and don’t use any chemicals on. Not all lawns are travesties.
this is true!
but what is also true:
- lawn sod is the US' most-produced agricultural product!
- the majority of residential grasses are not native, not suited to the local climates, and require tons of toxic chemicals and water to maintain!
- it's wasted real estate!

Isn't that the vegan burger that actually tastes like beef and not "it tastes like beef" like most vegan food?

if it's local native grass and you don't water it or use fertilizer or weed killer, you are not dead to me, rejoice in your resurrection
