While I do admit that the latter option is much funnier, it's probably the former. That or they built all the above-ground rooms perfectly to scale, but didn't know the exact layout of the service/security tunnels? Idk, but that is definitely an odd choice of wording

Look, I don't like Kamala either and I think continuing to supply weapons is awful, obviously. But she's the only realistic option at this point. You can still protest the genocide in Gaza AFTER the election (and I fully support you doing so, Hell I might even meet you at one), but look at it this way: if Kamala wins, you at least have a chance to make a change over there, but if Trump wins again, every Palestinian is as good as dead. Do I like either option? No! Do I think our elections are a good system? No! Am I going to vote for Kamala anyway? Yes! Because at this point, the choice is between shooting ourselves in the foot or in the temple

Lol giving away money at all, especially to large monopolistic corporations like Google. They don't need my money, they already have plenty

Free (legal) movies. Most are stuff I don't want to see anyway, but every once in a while a diamond in the rough pops up

Edit: Like someone else mentioned, YT is my primary entertainment source for a few reasons, so I've definitely gotten my money's worth. I wouldn't recommend everyone get it, but I'm happy with my decision

Not gonna lie, I bit the bullet and got YT Premium almost 5 years ago. Honestly, one of the best purchases I've ever made in my adult life, hands down

Giving you enough context to actually answer your question without giving up TOO much private info, in order:

Cubicle job where I make just under $20/hour (min. wage for my state is $15)

As for family/friends, I've reached out a little bit, yes. But I don't like doing it too much, regardless of how difficult my life becomes. Maybe it's pride, maybe it's empathy, idk. Either way, I just can't. In short, I've gotten SOME help, but I won't get much more

As for cost of living, I live in the American Midwest and split rent in a decent apartment in a relatively-safe neighborhood with one other person (hopefully 3 total in the next couple months)

And that's about all I'm willing to give up online

Edit: I copy-pasted from a very similar response, so I had to adjust it to fit YOUR questions

 

Yes, I do have a full-time job, and I even enjoy it, but it doesn't pay enough to survive in this hellscape of a world we live in. I lack the college degree required to get almost any decent-paying job (plus my last job hunt took MONTHS to get a lead), I don't have the skills or originality to become an online content creator, nor the artistry or patience to create and sell trinkets on Etsy (plus, that would require an initial investment which I simply do not have). Should I set up a GoFundMe? OnlyFans? I wouldn't really be offering anything except a charity basket/collection plate so that feels dishonest at best. Idk, I'm quite literally having a breakdown because I'm probably going to lose my car soon, and then my job, and then my apartment, and then my life. Any help at all would be appreciated. Thank you

It's not even casual internet surfing anymore. While looking for a job several months ago, I had to create a new account on every. Single. Fucking. Application.

A little bit of water or a baseball bat would've saved his job
