Nope, never. My retirement plan is a ditch with a nice view of the Rockies in Colorado and a bottle of gin on a cold winter night. Everything I’ve saved into (SS, TSP, retirement accounts) will inevitably disappear before I can access them/hit the age requirements. I don’t trust the system at all (I didn’t trust it before the election outcome either). I’m fucked. We’re all fucked. Might as well live it up now while I still can.

Everyone else in your life that isn’t immoral (if you’re the only one who is) dies eventually, so every time you make a friend or start a family, you do so knowing that you will have to watch them all die someday.

Yup, exactly. It just seems like there’s no time to relax when you have kids, you always have to be “on”.

I used to take a bus home from work, and a woman that lived in my apartment took the same bus, so we always ended up walking into the building together. I’ll never forget that EVERY time when she opened her apartment door, you could hear two little kids yell “MOMMY!” the second that door was opened. Maybe some people love that, but to me it always filled me with a sense of dread and exhaustion. Here was this woman who just spent a full day at work and now she has to come home and essentially start her second job of being with her kids, who of course want all her attention. I felt horrible for her, and it wasn’t like she was skipping home all happy to see them, either.

It’s awesome. Sure, I have moments in life that suck regardless, but in those moments I always think to myself “Wow, this would be even worse if I had kids.”

That sounds amazing but alas, bananas and plantains make my stomach hurt, so I avoid anything related.

Hell yes, TFP Starscream is so over the top. At first I was like WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO HIM but the more you watch the series, the more hilarious he becomes. TFP was so great on so many levels.

Alex Milne is my favorite artist in the IDW comics. My partner got a commission from him of Fortress Maximus for my birthday one year and it’s like my most prized possession ever, his work is so intricate and amazing.

I’m a huge Transformers nerd, grew up with the G1 cartoons and comics, have read all the IDW series comics, own several action figures, etc etc (but hate the Bayverse movies), so this is hard to pick just 2, because I like so many of the characters for different reasons, but:

Autobots - Ratchet. The older I get, the more I identify with him.

Decepticons - Ravage. He was my favorite when I was a kid because he was a Transformer AND a cat, which was just the coolest thing ever to me. I still have a G1 Ravage figure that turns into a cassette tape.

Why Digimon and not Pokémon?

I make one massive salad with romaine, cucumber, and red pepper and keep it in a Tupperware, then dole it out one bowl at a time every day for a week and add a hard boiled egg, black olives, dressing, and chickpeas.

Red flags!

Graduating from college, and with a 4.0. I fucking HATE school, and i put that shit off until my 30s. None of it was easy and I studied my ass off to get that 4.0. I truly never thought I would ever graduate, I started and stopped so many times.

That’s fair

Worst: Tootsie Rolls, they’re just wax with a slightly sweet flavor

Cigarettes. Went cold turkey every time. 3 time’s the charm! It’s been 13 years now, but I still occasionally get cravings, and sometimes I dream about having one and then wake up feeling super guilty and horrible about myself even though it wasn’t real.

One of the first jobs I had out of high-school was working at a gas station and we sold scratch-offs and I don’t recall that we kept track of the tickets at all.
