So if I want to accomplish this in a year I should be putting away half of every paycheck? Between rent, bills and groceries, who the fuck can afford that?
I've not read 'B' is for Burger personally, but The Shining is one of the best novels I've ever read. I always used to think that Stephen King must have fundamentally misunderstood something to dislike the film as much as he does, or that it was simply a matter of the book always being better than the movie, but after reading it, I no longer have any confusion as to why he feels the way he does. I still love the movie, Kubrick was an artist, but it pales in comparison. I can't recommend it enough.
Stan Lee even said himself that he created the X-Men as a statement about bigotry and how everyone, no matter how different than you, has good in them. It's straight up an anti-discrimination metaphor. It doesn't get much more woke than that.
It at it's worst in my opinion with streaming services like Netflix and Hulu. They're all starting to get so fragmented that they're not much better than just paying for cable anymore, and that was their whole appeal to begin with. Now you have to sub to like 3 or 4 different services to get all the content you want (sometimes more) and they all seem to be phasing out their ad free tiers. It's like they forgot what made them so popular to begin with.
"We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate’s service is more valuable."
One of my favorite YouTubers that does a ton of drinks from games and movies has a series called "Cursed Cocktails" where he makes and tried this. It's really entertaining.
My fiancee works at the welfare office in downtown Pittsburgh, PA. I literally just asked her and she said, "They can potentially get approved for medical assistance if it's an emergency, but they're not going to be able to get something like food stamps as an illegal immigrant." Other states might be different, but that's at least PA.
