You can? What kind of marriage is that? πŸ˜…

Edit: the only thing the boomer comments got right about my marriage is the lack of sex, other than that we are super happy and have absolute zero regrets

Would you spend your remaining time differently than you do now? If so, why aren't you already doing it

I'd go on a big trip around the world. I love traveling but my budget is limited, and also that thing called a job, even tho I have a lot of PTO it's not easy to take more than a couple of weeks at a time

Despite efforts to boost the birthrate, including financial incentives, restrictions on divorces and abortions, and allowing up to three children per family,

Wow, so much freedom and incentives to raise a family!

Definitely not 2/2, could be 2/3 or 2/4

There are a few brands that make it right. Also it needs to be grinded at the moment

I made one for my dad when he retired a few years ago. I got some NES, Genesis and SNES controllers from Aliexpress and 3D printed a case to make it look like a small NES. He played with it a lot until my nieces started playing videogames and now they play on my old wii

I used honey for a while and it was working great for me with "exclusive" coupons and Cashback and then one time I bough a cellphone that was supposed to have $250 cashback. I did all the necessary steps, read the t&c, took screenshots of the offer and made the purchase. I never got the transaction to appear on their website. Sending emails it trying to contact them was futile (I even made an automatic script to send an email everyday to follow up). Fuck PayPal

My wife had a minor surgery a few years ago and the hospital told me that the bill would take a while to arrive because they need to "fight" with the insurance but they assured me that everything was backed up by the doctors.

When the first bill (from the insurance) a few items were denied like the extra hour of hospital bed because she wasn't feeling well after the anesthesia. The hospital called me and told me not to worry and they would ask for the doctor who denied it and since it wasn't a doctor they would approve it after a few weeks

At the end it was still expensive but nothing was denied
