Yeah, I'm doomed if my ass hits couch. I need to maintain some form of momentum.

In Australia the Average mortgage loan term is over 30 years but the average duration before its paid out or refinanced is only 8 years. Id be more worried about the terms and conditions surrounding early payout and refinancing than the theoretical maximum term of the loan on paper because if they want to be truly predatory thats where it will be hiding.

What broke the first one?

Rotisserie Chickens are a weird kind of family staple for many Australian families.

One chicken, one tub of coleslaw or a bag of salad and a 6 pack of breadrolls and you can feed a family of 4. It doesnt cost as much as takeaway.

Theres a reason dads make hobbies out of their yard, grilling and DIY.I have to do this shit anyway, it can either be what stops me from doing what I want or I can find the happiness and satisfaction in it.

My relaxation time might be ten minutes having a coffee in the back yard with the garden and lawn looking immaculate but it would have been 2 hours work to get it to "done" but 3 to get it to "perfect" because ultimately what was I gonna do with that hour? Watch some Youtube videos I only half give a fuck about or play a video game I'm mediocre at. Once you figure out you can also run a smoker while you do those chores at the end of the day everyone gets ribs.

They are also both right.

Ive lost count of the amount of places I've been to that "Omg you have to try..." only to be underwhelmed. Sometimes food is situational and I'm sure it was the best burger they ever had the day they had it, but to me its tuesday.

Also just because its a national or even worldwide chain doesnt mean bad. I maintain that when you get a perfect Zinger burger from KFC its one of the best fried chicken burgers there is, get just the right amount of salt on fresh chips and the drink is COLD. Bruh.

The only nice thing I can say about chatbots is that they are a step up from "if your problem is with blank press one. If your problem is with..." telephone systems.

I wonder if any other candidates for office will run on this as a platform.

"Vote for me, Kid Rock will stay away."

He has "all that" wealth by our standards but by the standards of really influencing the system he doesnt have a pot to piss in. His net worth isnt widely available but assuming he is worth personally a quarter of a billion the most expensive apartment in Manhattan would leave him broke.

He has more than he needs definitely and I do agree with your point, but to be a global power player millions doesnt even come close anymore.

I absolutely get why they became popular, you know your Nephews favorite video game character is Claptrap... its a $15 stocking stuffer that shows you pay attention to their interests and care. Then when I saw people displaying their "Collection" and it was literally just people trying to buy them all and taking up whole rooms in their house I knew that they would monetise it to death licencing every property they could worming into every niche in existence to the point where there was absolutely no scarcity and no collector could keep up and eventually go bust.

You know in that Shania Twain song she doesnt care if you're good looking, smart or have a car. So you can be a dumb ugly fuck who takes the bus if you're loaded.

Shania Twain still wont be impressed.
