No they're not lol. It's considered very weird to charge your own child rent. Those stories make headlines because even Americans find them shocking. My sister lived with my parents until she was 27 and they never charged her a dime. I could move back in with them tomorrow and they wouldn't charge me either. This is the norm in American families

I hate that we lost sight of what wealth really is and replaced it with the idea of profit. I bought my house to provide myself with financial security, not profit.

My monthly "rent" (mortgage payment) is locked in for the next 25 years and will not go up. At the end of those 25 years when I'm ready to retire, I'll have housing with only taxes and insurance payments. THAT is wealth. THAT is what home ownership is meant to be. If housing prices fall, it won't change my life a bit.

Lifetime use, not just past use. I feel like that's important. Because that one time I took shrooms has had no impact on my current voluminous overtime work lol

Dear Google, stop trying to make YT Music happen. It's not going to happen.

Just downloaded AntennaPod

You must be very young or very ignorant, if you don't remember how the GOP used one fraudster as a boogeyman excuse to defund public services for people who truly needed them.

Zojirushi steel drinking bottles. Holding up very well. Being able to completely disassemble and clean the components of the lid seals saves me from my worst habits.

Exactly. YT Music of such a trash interface compared to Google Play Music that I actually bothered to try Spotify when they killed GPM. They're not accomplishing their goals here
