Where do you guys live? I've only seen very few stores had employees bagging your food and they were higher-scaled ones.

Ask me how I know :P
How do you know?!

Well put Gabe, well put.

As long as you're still alive you can always strive to make less mistakes and start making positive changes in your life.
Yes, being dead sucks.

I remember the roads between cities being packed with people talking about things...or going fishing with a buddy in karamja so you'd have someone to talk to. But now the vast land of runescape are dull and void, with only a handful of people dashing from one location to the next.
Catherby beach was where all the poor people tried to make a living. So goofy but it was nice. Funny how remembering back it was like RS was a second life: "making a living", living economy, etc, etc.

Debt.
A couple of weeks back I decided to put the financial part of my life into gear and started working many more hours at my job. While I'm glad I have a feeling of purpose at my work (I used not to) it's quite sad to see hundreds of my hard-earned dollars go to debt I so naively, yet foolishly, took.
A month or two more and I should be out of it. Can't wait for the day I gotta stop signing on that loan website.

I got a "feminine boy willing to do anything"

If you expect the words to be exaggerated and needlessly filler, then you can look past that at get at the core of what anybody's saying.
You always have to do that with stuff Muggi links.

I don't know how you guys read it. I read it fine.
Women (men, too) want to have kids when they're ready, but given the opportunity of a unplanned pregnancy they might just keep it ("One day is today", "it's destiny", why not, etc.,)
Then a bunch of advice on how to avoid that.

Your future plans, financial situation, and welfare of a child is not nearly as important as your 'girlfriend' being offended. Her feelings are absolute!

I was thinking I would just drive her over to the neighboring state which doesn't have consent laws.
Would be for the best.

Does that cycle repeat ad infinitum?
For separate endeavors yeah
In other news, a girl on POF has her occupation set as "future nurse." Well shit, I should just change my occupation to "future retired trillionaire" since we're allowed to do that
ftfy
I don't think inflation will be that bad in the future.

Is OT really a place with "rich life experiences"? I mean, we've got a couple of people who go out partying way too often, but otherwise, nobody's really that out there. Mostly everyone's just in high school/college, and just doing that thing.
Hey now, Saq's also a bit of a party guy these days. And we've got plenty of high quality types here, even within our regulars. Noxx lives a wild life of a pilot traveling between multiple countries, Blake works for a big ass tech corporation. Muggiw lives everyday fuller than most. Gabe has some political thing to get behind. Lets face it. Were a fairly interesting group of people.
Exactly, you can't deny we have some interesting people here. It also reflects how bland my life is and friends are: go to work, drink, play video games.

I hope everybody's life is going good and any problems you might have be solved quickly.
I haven't posted on here in a while but I have been reading OT nearly daily. Lately though I feel sorta depressed. I was supposed to take classes this summer but got kicked out because my financial aid ran out and I didn't pay before the deadline (obviously I find out AFTER the deadline). I also requested my work hours shortened to attended class and only work the weekends. But with no classes I'm just stuck home for 5 days strait working 15ish hours a week.
I'm bored out of my mind, I don't know what to do. I don't have many friends and it was always difficult to set up schedules to do just about anything. My best friend who I could rely on to hang out is planning on joining the navy once he loses the weight, which means our old great passtime of going out to eat is gone.
It's mostly the boredom that is depressing me. Aside from going to Vegas to visit my sick uncle last weekend, I have done absolutely nothing for 4 days straight. I have things I want to do but not the motivation to do them, and this has been a problem long before the summer started. So I wrote a list, thinking I would only have four, five things. Now I'm staring at a full page of stuff: some minor (participate more in these forums, increase the pace of a comic I'm drawing) and others major (possibility convincing my friend not to join the navy, getting a girlfriend, learning a 3D program to make movies).
And you know what it's helped. This list has really made me realize how much I wanted to do. I'm not one to share my feelings and such neither, like what I'm doing by writing this post...but I can't do the same things I'm been doing before.
I'm not looking for advice here, but I wanted to get this out of my chest. You guys here are the only people I know with such rich life experience...I'm very jealous of it and want to join you guys by having rich, lively experiences myself. Tomorrow (as it's past midnight right now and am going to bed) I'm going to do at least 3 things on my list, or things to bring me closer to them. You guys are a good motivator, keep up the good posts.
So yeah, nearly a month of not posting and I come back with that... I never thought I'd open up so much but I guess desperate times calls for desperate measures. It felt good writing this.

@Giordano: There's definitely a link between socioeconomic status and inequality, but surely, gender and racial inequality exist against the background of socioeconomic inequality, rather than in spite of it. Does a black woman on a similar income to a white man receive different levels of sexist and racist discrimination? Almost certainly.
What discrimination she would get would not ruin her chance at achieving her goals or financial independence. I'm not saying racism/sexism doesn't exist, it is just not a relevant factor anymore.

The largest discrimination occurring today is the poor v. rich. Differences between gender or race are irrelevant.
I'm glad this conversation has been brought up, I just love posting this video (revelant part starts at 1:25)
