What first world problem did you have today?

[clamum]

Trying to decide whether or not to pull the trigger on a $550 55" Samsung 4K TV from Best Buy, with free delivery. My 42" 1080 LG TV is 7 years old but it's nice and I've never had a problem with it. So I don't really need the 4K... but damn, it would be sweet.

Don't shoot the tv! It didn't do anything to you!

It just sucked his brain out and spit it up all over the couch. TV is bad, don't do TV.

Tired, raining, hungry. Looking forward to a night of delicious whiskey and video games.

I'm in a similar place except I want to downgrade from 40" to 32". Turns out I don't care about resolution as long as it's 720p or higher.

If it's a CFL backlight, good luck disposing of it properly. Something like a dozen or two mercury filled, cold-cathode tubes in that panel.

So I ordered 1 subway sandwich for lunch and then I remembered after I was at my desk and ready to eat it that I had a digital coupon for a free gatorade with any subway sandwich.

Your first mistake was ordering a supposed sandwich from Subway. That's not a sandwich! That's an insult to actual sandwiches around the world.

I was hungry and was needed to be back at the office promptly for another meeting so I could not driving around for lunch today. Beggar can not be choosy, you know.

You should move to the Northeast - we have delis and Italian delis all over the friggin place. It's worth living here just for that!

That's like getting a breakfast burrito out of the freezer and calling it a full course meal.

Trying to dodge four heads shooting beams at me at the same time I'm trying to fight eight blue darknuts while the cat is on my lap giving himself a bath simultaneously.

Not gonna lie. Things are looking ugly.

I wish I had friends that would play on a Monday night. They are all too worthless (ahem, 3rd world) to be their own boss and vacation like me.

My internet connection is being a bitch today. Keeps dropping and reconnecting every half hour-ish. I could try to reset the modem but I don't feel like logging into my router and hitting reboot.

As I said in the "how to save money at high cost of living places" thread, I have been to big cities of both coasts (LA and NYC and DC and others) and while I did enjoy the places, I would not want to pay that much in housing cost to live there and the daily traffic grinding would drive me nut. I can get decent foods and numerous ethic foods in Dallas, Houston, and Austin.

Back to the topic. I just earned 106,600 Chase Ultimate Reward points from the Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card and now I have to figure out what to do/how to maximize the usage of those UR points.

^All you really need is a Costco... the pre-prepared shit they have, dear lord.

My politics forum has been overrun with Russian trolls. It's no fun anymore when I can't insult honest morons.

My oversea flight trip in which I booked last week is $18 cheaper right now. Same airline, same date, same time, same everything.

Dallas and Houston vs a NorthEeast City? To visit NYC is on thing or something I guess, a moment of brevity in a chaotic life-long place, but it's a place you can visit every weekend for the first 5 years of being a resident and still feel like a tourist. Just like one in the know.

It's not even close. It's like not even closer than the fucking New England Patriots are the best football team of the last generation. And I don't even like the damn Patriots. Let alone the Texans, I'd have to cut my wrists if that was my hometown.

I feel the same way, I don't know how people actually willingly live in big cities. Too crowded, too expensive, too much traffic etc. Big cities are fun to visit but would not want to live in one. Cost being one of the factors. Can get so much more for your money in a smaller city. It's nice to live in a detached home and be 5 minutes from work... or pretty much from anywhere.

This is also a bonus of being where I am:

For a lot of people it's about jobs. Apparently many folks like it, too. I wanted to try living in the city, having grown up way out in the country and spent a lot of time in suburbia. I will say that it's nice to have stores and restaurants open after 5pm.

Hang in there. Watch this to cheer you up.

Now you are trolling. Ever hear of "different strokes for different folks"?

Go ahead and cut your wrists.....drama much?
