this oppressed low IQ MAGA trash spends lots of money on shit like this, which in this case is close to $3K, and complains that he is economically oppressed, even while being subsidized by the cities, too fucking funny :tearsofjoy:
 
So I bought 4 tickets to MONSTER JAM!!!! For those of you who are not familiar with this event it is big trucks smashing stuff and doing big jumps. Apparently there is also a fire breathing dragon made out of cars. How crazy is that??

Lets go baby!!

Those are very interesting - sorta like wingtips, but on morphine. Heroin is for junkies.

I'm going to guess you're not the Olukai "type." But given that pick, you might like something like these:

I was looking at some Olukai shoes and they look pretty nice, but I'm not a fan of what you linked. The scaly look doesn't resonate to me. Olukai's flip flops are great though. Haven't tried any of their shoes yet.

Oxfords, not Brogues.

“Oxfords, not brogues” is a line from the movie Kingsman: The Secret Service that suggests that Kingsmen should only wear Oxfords. In the movie, Harry Hart (Colin Firth) tells Eggsy (Taron Egerton) that his brogues are too casual for the situation.

Explanation
Oxfords are a type of shoe with a closed-lacing system that creates a more formal look. Brogues are shoes with decorative holes, or perforations, in the leather. Broguing can be applied to any style of shoe, including Oxfords.

Hell yeah. The auto insurance I kind of get -- we did have a claim when my wife clipped the corner of her the garage opening frame...but not a 34% increase!

We had zero claims on our homeowner's insurance. Absolutely baffling. Fuck'em.

Some states are limiting the amount home insurance can go up, even in high risk areas, so companies are either pulling out of those markets or passing on rate increases to areas of either lower risk or areas without such state restrictions.

Just got the renewal for my auto policy: $625 for 6 months for full coverage ($1k deductible). Can't seem to find anything cheaper though.

You might get a better deal through an agent and a smaller local insurance company, believe it or not. I have home and auto through a company called Hanover — auto is under $1k annually for my wife’s 2021 Mazda with good coverage. The usual suspects want at least 25% more. If I saved $3k between both they’d be paying me.

I tried a local agent, but they just couldn't get anything lower than what GEICO gives me.

We're moving somewhere else in <6 months, so it's not a big worry, and $1200/yr for coverage isn't so bad in my book.
 
Haven't bought much this year at all. Which is part of the plan.

But I'm proud to say I essentially quit Amazon. And I was a prime member for many years who spent thousands and thousands each year there.

It's really not that bad. I did buy an epos impact 1061 ANC headset there for work because very few places sell that one and the other places didn't have the best reviews.

Other than that I returned something I got in late December for a $12 credit, and then bought $14 worth of canned air to clean my tech.

That's it. Two purchases on Amazon. One only due to having credit and one because it's extremely hard to find. I have found better options for everything else I need. Fuck you Bezos!
