Hot damn! This looks like a much bigger update than I was expecting… and I never expected them to add bears to the Meadows! So pumped.

Shit, I can’t believe I whooshed that!

(To be fair, my local supermarket has scales and cameras to prevent most shenanigans… so I have to sneakily pocket small but expensive items while still walking around the store!)

the self checkout discounts

Thee what now? You must live in some magical non-Capitalist hellhole if you’re actually getting a discount for ringing yourself up!

Heh, I agree with LordWiggle completely. Pretty easy to put away 12 or so light beers in an afternoon… but I’m not dropping ~$90 to do it! A twelver of Tecates is only $16.50 with deposit - much more reasonable!

Through sheer luck, many of my friends are either single or DINKs, so we’ve got the free time to hang out. Doesn’t hurt that we live on a small island.

When I was much younger, my friends and I would meet up at the same coffee shop/bistro every day and hang out on the back patio smoking cigarettes, drinking coffee, and chatting for hours. That place is no longer in business, and everything is WAY too expensive now… but years later, some of that same group of people meet up damn near every day at a private beach shack for beers, grilling, and swimming.
