  • I completely understand.

    I spent a semester of college working at Home Depot. It was a terrible experience and awful in so many different ways that I consider it my second worst job experience, only slightly behind the holier than thou “Christian business” that didn’t pay its employees and actively committed fraud against employees, clients, and the government. 25+ years later, I still don’t like to shop at Home Depot, it was so bad.












  • I’m actually surprised it’s taken this long to show up in the numbers, but I am fully aware that I’m in a bit of a bubble.

    Most people I know got all their big ticket spending done before January, and then hunkered down into saving money mode so that they’d have some cushion for if and when things go bad. Sure, there have been some outliers, but they aren’t the norm.

    Part of the problem is, even a lot of people who still have their good jobs are cutting way back and trying to put money aside because they simply do not know how much longer they’ll have a job. People who once saw themselves as indispensable to their employer and have enjoyed stable careers are no longer so confident in the economy or their job because they’ve seen what’s happened to so many others recently.

    It’s gay pride for bears. Bears traditionally being older, stockier/larger, and usually hairier than main stream depictions of gay men and male models, but it’s actually pretty inclusive and more about male body positivity, brotherhood, and acceptance than fitting any actual physical stereotype.
