    You do, but its generally a lot less than repairs or a new laptop. I’ll give you my example… My laptop is a 2021 Razer 14 The power port had a broken connector on the inside, and since the way it was made the port was part of the motherboard, the repairs for that power port were going to be over $1700 on a $2300 laptop.

    Renters insurance was definitely the less painful option. Just one of those things that may only be useful on rare occasions, but when it is, it really is.















  • I feel like, to an extent, the privacy ship left port a long time ago, and that bitch is nuclear powered. Without social media (other than this/reddit) I don’t feel like I’m giving any more info than I would be otherwise.

    Don’t take that as a disregard for my privacy though, I do take steps to protect myself within reason and budget (read: free/open).

    I’m just not convinced that spending extra energy and time to lock things down further will see the returns, real or imagined, that justifies the effort. I’m open to new ideas though!

    I hope I’m not wrong down the road, but considering I’m a literal nobody on the grand scale without aspirations for political office, I think I’ll be ok… I think.



  • Just want to say, yes. A thousand times yes. Therapy is worth it a million times over. If you don’t find the therapist you mesh with immediately, don’t lose hope. Trust your gut and keep looking.

    Once I found the right therapist, things really improved in my life and I was able to make sense of things that I had previously been unaware of.

    Good luck!


  • I was desperate for a job after I had started over in a new city. I had a month to figure out how to pay next months rent. I got a call from Little Caesars to come interview, and as much as I despise food work, I felt I had little other choice.

    They put me on the dough for my first day. It was hot and awful. Boring AF too. $8.00/hr. I got a phone call after “lunch” and it was for an interview to run a boost mobile on the other side of town… I walked straight out of Little Caesars and was hired the next day at Boost, which was more to my liking.
