Did the slugs just use the sides of the door frame to skip over the edges of the maze?

Huh? I bought my first house in 2020. It was $200,000 for a run-down house in a bad part of Minneapolis. It was my first home, so I could use the first-time home buyer benefit to only need $10,000 for the down payment, which I had built up over a few years of saving. While in the house, fixing my garage door when it broke was $250, and repairing my AC and Furnace each time they broke was $300-500. Stuff that was bigger than that was covered by insurance. I fixed everything else myself, however poorly. The money I got for selling the house in 2023 for $230,000 was enough to afford the down payment on the next place after paying back my first mortgage and the realtor fees.

If your first house is anything like mine was, it’ll be a lot of “What’s that sound!? God dammit…” followed by either a day’s worth of work fixing something, or a bill for several hundred dollars. It took a few major problems before my wife and I started getting confident that we knew what we were doing. You get used to it, and eventually problems that arise are no longer a “will we get through this?” and instead become an “ugh, I can’t wait until we’re through this.” After a few years I was able to sell it to someone else as their starter home, and use the equity I built to buy a much nicer house with far fewer problems, though you’ll never be totally free from the occasional sudden panic of a major issue.

I always thought I was too ugly for people to be attracted to me. Eventually I cleaned myself up a bit, got on a dating app, and found the woman who is now my wife. I was proud of myself for becoming someone who could be attractive. Since then, 2 girls I knew in school have told me they had a crush on me… Like, why didn’t you say anything!? It was obvious I had no idea!! I now think everyone must have at least one person who’s yummed by their yuk.

We’re not? One of our parties may be significantly less sadistic, but they both exist to lock the American people into a life of servitude for the rich. Our votes won’t get us out of fascism, they’ll only let us choose 4 years of “good cop” or “bad cop.” We’ll have to actually be okay with making our overlords mad at us in order to escape, and that includes the media; if the news is on your side, you can be sure the rich people who own it aren’t sufficiently concerned.

I find that the tired part is easier to swallow if you instead think of it an a happy opportunity to put on some music and rest your eyes.

Yup, my plan was to just buy one and let it sit until something was found. It was just too expensive, though; I can’t warrant that price.

I was hoping it’d be a bit sooner, but I can’t complain; it looks great! I’m always down for more Digimon!

People who are capable of feeling guilt for hurting others would never do the terrible things required to achieve such a position anyway. It’s the way they make sure only people who are part of the in-group get that high on the ladder. At best, Elon sees us as insignificant specs that don’t even register in his brain. At worst, he hates us and actively enjoys making us suffer.
