  • It’s possibly the only thing that the leftists and the conservatives have in common.

  • If you can convince people that your method is cheaper and better, you could be a billionaire overnight.

  • I also want to point out that a pawn shop will temporarily pawn an item without selling it and give you money, but that is reliant on the client paying you. If you are confident that they will, it is a good option, but don’t pawn anything you’ll miss.

  • You rang?

  • Beep boop, we’re all bots here.

  • Congratulations to you and your mistress. I’m sure her parents will understand. /s

  • It’d be gay to stick something in there before you stick something in there. /s

  • Everyone else is downvoting for AI slop, but I’m downvoting for the fact that it is nowhere near a $45,000 breakfast. Unless that wine is the actual blood of Christ, I’d be surprised if this breaks $2000. Do better. /s

  • N’wah!

  • I am a Debian man. All my systems are Debian or Debian based. It just works!

  • Then explain all the portraits! /s

  • She has several conditions, but since she doesn’t have a job, her insurance sucks, which has made it a lot more difficult to get government assistance. She declined quickly over the last several years, so she went from having a stable job that paid much more than mine to suddenly being completely unable to manage her daily life. For the first year of unemployment, a lot of time was wasted with medical professionals who thought she just needed to work out her legs more and get back to work. It has been an adjustment, but we’re working on it.

    It is somewhat of a long process of seeing loads of doctors, trying to get things on paper that qualify for disability, and then applying and seeing if it sticks. Because many of her problems are exceedingly rare and poorly understood, it has not been easy to get definitive diagnoses that can easily be used to get long term disability.

    She also got bamboozled by some medical credit companies before she met me, so we’re dealing with a few lawsuits trying to resolve that. Plus, she was in a car accident recently which has set her back. I guess my point is that we’ve been working on getting her government assistance, but there has been an overwhelming amount of things going on, and the process is slow.

    I say she’s bendy and elegant because those are the positives. She is also in constant pain, suffers from mental issues, and we’re currently finding out if she will have a short lifespan from the toll on her internal organs. Within all that suffering though are also unique opportunities for trust and connection that I’ve never experienced in an able bodied relationship—there is a beautiful intimacy in the act of carrying someone up a flight of stairs or feeding them when their hands won’t work. The way she looks at me, I never have to feel insecure—that lady loves me and lets me know it every moment of the day.

    There is a lot of suffering that comes with chronic genetic conditions, and it has completely reframed how I see life. That said, under all that disability is a really unique, intelligent, and talented person who I have fallen in love with. She is the kind of person who is 100% worthy of help, and though I don’t know how we’ll end up getting there, we are focused on finding the right support so we can live a life together and so that she can reach her potential despite her setbacks.

  • Connective tissue disorder: very bendy with long and elegant features. The rest is our business, lol.

  • If 65k is poor, I need to reassess my opinion of myself as lower middle class.

  • I am lower middle class and my girlfriend is disabled and indigent. Our relationship is unbalanced and will probably never be financially fair, but there is just something special about her that keeps me coming back, and she rocks my world in the sack.

    Compared to my able bodied millionaire ex wife, she is a significant upgrade. Poor and irresistible beats rich and malicious every time.
