Yeah, that’s true. It does however even pop up in doctors offices, or anything legally binding. Things where the your appointment will be ruined if you don’t sign digitally.

Like the shrimp on the treadmill.

I can avoid pretty much any tech company by simply not using the product. Docusign, however, is fucking everwhere in modern US life. I’ve had local government agencies advertise a certain wait period etc. which is dependent on using Docusign on their website, otherwise there is a weeks (or months) long delay on them mailing things you have to sign because why would they ever print them in the office? Based on the nature of the company, I am not surprised, but them being onboard will make bureaucracy that everyone has to deal with immensely more annoying if you opt out of using their products.

One massive difference is that a hunter will have observed the animal for things like ataxia or chronic wasting (prion) disease. Don’t eat roadkill, it’s stupid.

That’s a mandolin. You’re thinking of a tropical evergreen tree native to Asia, widely cultivated for its edible fruit.

Step one is to not live in or close to a major city or high cost of living area. Step two is to buy an old compact car with good mpg in the $600 range. The insurance will be dead cheap. Then you work, not in a city, but a heavily gentrified suburb. I would average a net (yes, including costs etc.) $30 an hour before I got too ill to do pretty much anything. I have some good days where I can get stuff done, but it takes me way long to do it.

What do you mean? Teledildonics is very real. There’s a lot of integration with SecondLife, but I certainly wouldn’t know anything about that.

In the 80s, my grandmother bought and entire house worth of furniture in quarters stashed in carboys.

It turns out McCarthyism 2.0 is going to be even worse.

There is also scale at play. A one way 45 minute commute without traffic is far from u heard of in the US, and many of drive in one or 2 days as much as many other places will in a month in both time and sistsnce due to the reasons that you pointed out.

I am currently looking at options like this, yeah.

I never stated that the house is ruining me.

I said:

I inherited a house, and it is ruining me

I felt obligated to upvote this due to the title alone.

Which is relevant to the meme that was posted.

Taxes, maintenance, upkeep, utilities etc. Legally, I can’t sell it for some time as that is part of the will.

If you hate your body now, wait for perimenopause to hit. Periods sucked for 30 years, but this is hell.

These are also the people that can’t figure out the bear proof trash cans at camp sites and provide hours of entertainment in their attempts to use them.

I inherited a house, and it is ruining me. I say bullet dodged.

A summarization of the Dune series would be a novella by itself.

The Vegemite must flow.
