I just about lost my mind earlier out of frustration for this. I love listening to rap/hip hop and the algorithm makes multiple mixes with the exact same songs every time.

I just typed in "underground" in search and found so much good shit. Not even all rap. There's all sorts of great music I have never heard!

My job. I love making people happy! I actually look forward to Mondays and dread Fridays.

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 like how this turned into a pillow post.

Pillow fight?

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 was using a public toilet that had one.

Turned out, you also had to lock the door!

Edit: now that I think about it, it said occupied, but a lady still just walked right in...

"PC load letter? What the fuck does that mean?"

Fun fact, it's asking for letter paper (8.5" x 11")

I just spit out my water all over!

He just posted a video to his YouTube channel. He's back. And it's more disturbing than before.

I recently found out an old buddy is a famous YouTuber with 5 million followers.

My kids were watching him, and I said "that's weird, we used to hang out in high school!" Their minds were blown. He's gotta be rolling in the big bucks.

What's reddit?

We're waiting!

I never let it stop me. I started working at a print shop, and the huge copier (xerox 1000i) kept jamming. I'm talking huge jams, this thing is about as long as 2 Mazda miatas.

The fuser belt tore on me at like 4 in the morning during an emergency print job, and the technician wouldn't be there until about noon, so I broke into his parts cabinet and figured out how to replace the belt. I had it up and running about an hour later. The fuser on that machine is about as big as a Brother desktop multifunctional copier.

He did come in, and scolded me for repairing it, but was fascinated I did it (it's a 2 week training in New York just to work on those).

I ended up bugging all the techs to hire me and eventually, they did! So now I work on photocopiers, and I absolutely love it.

As a kid, I always took everything apart, because I can't help myself and I need to know how everything works. I still do it today (it's my job now!)

I'm 4th grade, I was taking apart my mechanical pencil and putting it back together, and my teacher took it, snapped it in half and under) threw it away.

She told me I'm no longer allowed to use mechanical pencils, I can only use wooden ones.

Since I didn't have a wooden one with me, I was sent to the hall the rest of class.

Can I just cash out my karma? I need money lol

The solution is to have two phones! One for web cam, one for memes.

One of my kids are lactose intolerant, so I started getting lactose free milk.

I can't drink normal milk now, it all tastes like rot to me now.

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.
