Am I one of the only people out there that thinks traveling just fucking sucks ass? I mean, it’s more or less “like this” almost anywhere you go (where you don’t want to put your life at risk).
I agree.
I mean, yeah, I’ve always wanted to visit the morbid, desolate, and forbidden stay-away zones your mother would never want you to go to as a sense of adventure
I disagree.

I'm sure that most denizens of this website feel inferior to the huge-brained lawyers, programmers, and doctors. There is no need for you to expect yourself to be as ultra-cool as they are. Many of the comments that I myself make are just links to sources—not very big-brained, but not the most low-value stuff in the world, either.

Several items indicate that the person is extremely left-wing.
-
Announcement of pronouns in username
-
Use of coronavirus mask in profile image, years after the pandemic
-
Link to a "PayEquityNow" account in profile description
-
Announcement of indigenous background in profile description
It is the opinion of several commenters here that any extremely-left-wing person is automatically a "security risk" to Trump's right-wing government.

Dilution of the lifespan
This topic has seen significant scholarly discussion under the name "rectangularization of the survival curve".
Rectangularization is defined as a trend toward a more rectangular shape of the survival curve due to increased survival and concentration of deaths around the mean age at death.
Outer rectangularization is the standard perspective of rectangularization, and captures progress in mean lifespan relative to progress in maximum lifespan.
Inner rectangularization adds a new perspective. In contrast to the outer rectangle, we seek the largest rectangle under the survival curve.

Any unattractive or ordinary-looking person could have such a realization after being dumped by an attractive person, regardless of gender.

I remember loving Lucky Starr and being disappointed by Norby
I vaguely recall enjoying the Norby books, though I remember almost nothing about them except the weird telepathy punctuation (was it italics with guillemets?).

(1) As I said, the specific hostility of "tits or GTFO" is long dead. I personally never saw it first-hand.
(2) I said "of unspecified, but implicitly not low, attractiveness", not "attractive". Lots of men salivate over women who are merely "not unattractive" (three stars out of five) rather than "attractive" (four stars)—and lots of autists are interested in "dorky homeschool girls".

What type of attention do women deserve and want? I want to imagine the internet is more egalitarian now and just being a woman online (an egirl?) isn’t enough to warrant any special treatment or attention.
LOL. Compare:
(1) An attractive woman goes to a mall, supermarket, or big-box store and basks in the knowledge that she is turning the heads of a dozen men by simply existing near them.
(2) A person claiming to be a woman (of unspecified, but implicitly not low, attractiveness) goes to a forum of mostly-male autists and basks in the knowledge that she is turning the heads of a hundred men by simply claiming to exist near them in cyberspace.
But maybe I'm just engaging in the typical-mind fallacy, and expounding on these topics despite being totally unqualified to discuss them.

The other comment can be interpreted as a joke with two meanings.
In the misty past, it was the default assumption that all users of the Internet were ugly men, and any user claiming otherwise without providing proof was a liar—a person shrewd enough to assume a convincing false persona in order to gain social clout in online spaces. (A long-dead shorthand phrase related to this phenomenon is "tits or GTFO"—i. e., the identity of an Internet poster as female cannot be confirmed without a photograph in which the subject exposes herself while holding a piece of paper with a timestamp.)
In modern times, this assumption has greatly weakened. (In particular, the "rationalist" community has been accused of being too trusting and incapable of simulating the thought processes of liars.) But it has not totally disappeared. So, in the opinion of the other commenter, if you are actually a woman you will get the deserved attention that you want, and if you are an ugly man pretending to be a woman you will get the undeserved attention that you want from this website's "quokka" denizens (positive reinforcement for your evil trolling).

In the US, the Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts the Consumer Expenditure Survey, which can be used as the framework for a very detailed budget. For example, the table "Cross-tabulated—Size of consumer unit by income before taxes—Two people—2023–2024" provides the following numbers, broken down into dozens of categories and subcategories.
| Annual income range (k$) | Average annual income (k$) | Average annual expenses (k$) |
|---|---|---|
| (−∞, ∞) | 109 | 81 |
| (−∞, 15) | 7 | 40 |
| [15, 30) | 23 | 42 |
| [30, 40) | 35 | 48 |
| [40, 50) | 45 | 52 |
| [50, 70) | 60 | 64 |
| [70, 100) | 84 | 73 |
| [100, 150) | 122 | 88 |
| [150, ∞) | 267 | 142 |
Additionally, the IRS and the DOJ collaborate on estimating the cost of housing and utilities across the country on a county-by-county basis.

You are supposed to pick a standard of living and develop your long-term budget accordingly. The subreddit's standard terms are "leanFIRE" for being a "miserable tightwad" and "fatFIRE" or "chubbyFIRE" for living large.

Just include the URL in plaintext! (Though you'll need to go back to your custom-CSS page if you want to actually use it. And you'll probably want to decrease the font size.)
.user-name[href$="ToaKraka"]::after{content:" [Friday Fun Thread spammer: https://www.themotte.org/post/3802/friday-fun-thread-for-june-12/452296?context=8#context]";font-size:0.7em;}
Protip: If you're still missing the ability to "tag" other users that some unofficial browser extensions allegedly provided on Reddit, then you can replicate it by using this website's custom-CSS feature! For example:
.user-name[href$="ToaKraka"]::after{content:" [Friday Fun Thread spammer]";}
Replicate this CSS in order to add whatever custom text you want after a person's username.

My suspicion is that the address rules are to prevent people from renting them out.
No, the consultant confirmed at a meeting (again, attended by only two interested citizens including me) that it was just poorly worded and would be fixed to refer to secondary unit designators. There's already a separate provision that bans an ADU from (1) being inhabited if the owner lives neither in the ADU nor in the principal building, or (2) being a bed-and-breakfast or a short-term rental.
Municipalities don't want to approve them so they can be used as a back door to allowing multi-family in neighborhoods zoned for single family.
The zone in question already will allow three-story apartment buildings by right under the draft code (up from just duplexes under the current code).
I suspect that the concern about the restaurants is more aesthetic than traffic-related.
No, a government official confirmed at the same meeting that it was traffic-related. Specifically, he doesn't want to see a repeat of a particular drivethrough elsewhere in the municipality that consistently backs up into the street during mornings. (He said something like, "I don't know how PennDOT approved that highway occupancy permit.") And he expects the traffic numbers that I cited to be applicable more to a fast-food restaurant in a commercial zone than to a "neighborhood" fast-food restaurant that would actually be built in a residential zone.

Apparently, this is a series going all the way back to year 1987.
My result is "No-Apologies Right". Hilariously, when I clicked on it something apparently broke on the server, revealing that the page actually was written in Markdown!
