Kinda off topic, but why do homeless people always seem to have a phethora of bike rims? Like just the rims

I was drunk and couldn’t drive, so my wife took me to get more beer. She asked me to put gas in our vehicle so I did because it was cold out. I noticed the pump behind me had the nozzle sitting on the ground which was hilarious to me. I took a snapchat picture and posted it saying “what a dumbass!” then I went inside to get my beer.

I get back in the truck and I’m having a grand old time showing my wife what the idiot behind us must have done when I hear the “CLUNK”. I was told I turned as white as a ghost. I’d done it. It was my fault.

I went inside, the cashier knew I was drunk (I was being obnoxious). I was profusely apologized and admitted it was all my fault. She went outside with me, explained it didn’t break and that they can reattach it, BUT there’s a charge.

The cashier then said to me “get in your truck and get as far away as possible immediately. I didn’t see you, this didn’t happen, and I don’t know what happened to the camera footage. Have a nice night.”

I hopped in the truck and just told my wife DRIVE. Security came rolling up as we were leaving (by chance).

“he just says what’s on his mind! He’s just like me!” - my parents probably.

You should watch the Whang! Video on Brian Peppers! It’s actually pretty sad

Well, this is perfect timing for my hangover on Monday!

I would say yes, but I am drowning in debt now. Always a month behind which brings late fees which makes things harder to keep up on.

Also, pg&e burnt the town next to us entirely down (today is the anniversary!) and their solution to dealing with all the lawsuits, was to raise everyones utility bills. My bill was $50 to $100 before the fire. Last month it was $400. I haven’t been running heat or AC and the app says my energy usage is consistent for my home size.

It’s expensive to be poor.

I found out my wife was pregnant about a week before shit really hit the fan. We were completely prepared, had money saved up and everything.

The covid hit. We both lost our jobs, and unemployment wasn’t nearly enough to cover the bills. I couldn’t find another job anywhere.

We lost everything. Both of my cars got repoed, I get eviction notices every single month because rent is behind. We pulled out credit cards for food because we don’t qualify for assistance.

Slowly, we both got jobs, I got lucky and jumped right back into my career that I love, and we’re still trying to get on our feet. The credit cards are killing us.

Oh, and when our daughter was born, she had to be life flown to another city because she almost passed away (long story). 150k bill. After insurance.

I’m so frustrated paying $950 a month. My kid just got old enough to go into a lower tier, but right after that, they raised the prices across the board so I still pay the same…

If they have like 30 kids at about $950 each, where is all of that money going? All of the ladies that work there make minimum wage.

I absolutely love spending time with my kids, don’t get me wrong.

They’re seeing the abuse and it’s terrifying. Luckily she sleeps in until about 2pm on weekends, so I use those mornings (including this morning) to take them to the park and spend time with them.

I’ve been trying to leave but she keeps threatening to take them away. I don’t know what to do. I’m going to call a divorce lawyer on Monday.

I do absolutely everything for my kids. I cook dinner every night, I bathe them every night, I get them ready and take them to school every morning. I am a man so I’m terrified the court will rule in her favor and she’ll take them away.

At night I’m reminded of how horrible of a person and father I am. I’m so tired of it.

Edit: I also absolutely love my job. I work on photocopiers. I feel like I help the community and make people happy. My job almost feels like a hobby to me. I am high functioning autistic and my obsession is anything mechanical, so it’s the perfect job for me.

I need help.

I stay as long as possible because I don’t want to go home to my abusive wife.

Sometimes I can’t sleep on Sundays because I’m so excited to go to work the next day.

Just become republican!

All of a sudden, everything bad is a hoax.

Problem solved.

Okay good… Rich people keep moving to my area where most people aren’t as well off.

They keep coming into our small towns and open up little Vinyard places. It’s like that episode with SodoSopa, but in real life.

It’s cool to see, but it makes the cost of living impossible!

Are we talking San Francisco northern California?

Or actual northern California? (above Sacramento)
